Better start practicing your tomahawk chop!

Now do the “before the sticks”
Right?
Let me see if I can find it, saw it this morning
Weighing my options: do I want to make the effort to “watch” the Vikings after what the Twins just did to my psyche?
Sure, the Vikes are pulling off the close games. Also, you could cheer for the Braves for the rest of the year. There’s room left on the bandwagon.
Watch the Vikings. You can always turn them off and do something more productive should they fail to entertain or live up to expectations.

Totally legitimate I swear….
Sup Raa?
Great to see you here! We just started this thread last week, this one has rules similar to what we had in the old days at the DN. This one isn’t as busy yet, but it’ll get there. We’ve gotten quite a bit of feedback from folks who wanted an option without the politics & such.
The other thread is wide open. Most of the convos stay pretty tame, but occasionally……
Yeah I just saw the link that Rob posted on Twitter so figured I would check it out.
Love it! Has most of the functionality of the old days.
The developers did a really good job, they created this from scratch. We’re working with them to get a z key installed. It’s not easy, apparently. Everything else they’ve gotten finished. Just finished a Fan Forum, under the News heading at the top. It’s been growing more every month, it’s been fun to watch.
Ah, the classics
I miss Paula.
I agree, Cook has been close a few times. Those will eventually happen.
I thought you were suppose to take out the long runs?
Only if it’s Peterson
If Bradbury continues to play like he has, do we re-sign him?
Meh
Tempting. League average is desirable at this point. If it were easy to find an upgrade, we’d have found one before the season started.
Then again, it’s Bradbury.
I think you are right. Considering Bradbury is somewhere in the middle of the rankings. Finding an upgrade may difficult and time/draft capital better spent improving other positions.
How about someone better? My concern is he’ll regress to his mean, which is decent run blocking but garbage pass blocking
He’s actually graded slightly higher in pass blocking this year so far, per PFF (grain of salt). I dunno, but if he has it figured out, it may make sense to keep him, hopefully be able to sign him for a decent price.
We’re 4 games into a 17 game season, let’s see how he graded out rest of the year.
Vikings didn’t pick up his 5th year for a reason, and he wasn’t drafted by this staff
hawt
I had a thing for ally sheedy back in the day
I gotta go take a cool pic that I can use for the front page.
I’m looking forward to this picking up, it would be nice to have a conversation once in a while without some of the…………volatility
Indeed.
Amen!
Flagged for neutrality
Are we able to block out in black certain words for spoilers? Or is that not a thing here?
Yeah, there’s a spoler feature, it’s the + sign with the brackets around it at the bottom of the text box. Just highlight the text you want to put under the spoiler, then click that icon.
Does this site have a preview function so we can see what it is we are posting before we actually post?
No, not on comments. When writing posts, you can, but not on comments.
First.
You did it!
This thread is going to be slow for a while, but we’re going to keep posting it. It’ll pick up eventually. The coolest part? The other thread has grown by leaps and bounds since we started posting this.
I would comment, but I might get my feels hurt by PPB and Five calling me a name
There was much gnashing of teeth when we started this thread, for some weird reason. It’s pretty much died down now. I kinda poked at them today & rekindled the flame.
actually I kinda hop in and out of both threads (as well as the DN) when I can so I am always behind. I will rec some comments from time to time though.
