Minnesota Vikings (and other NFL) News:

The new oldest living NFL Hall-of-Famer is former referee and head of officiating Art McNally, who is a month older than fellow 97-year-old Hall of Famer Marv Levy.

I just got here… youse guys trying to tell me something?
I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.
William Butler Yeats
No kids here. My fine genetics die with me…
step kids and the grandkids your wife spends are still kids
Well I like to think so but some disagree.
Grandson’s 13th in a couple of days. Keep in mind each grandkid gets $1000 in college fund every birthday and Christmas. I have a DeWolt cordless circular saw and a cordless reciprocating saw all boxed up for him. Wife said, “I’m thinking of getting him a gift card he can use for his XBox games, in addition to those tools.” My face had a rather dark look.
Xbox is the console of choice for 13 year olds, and Nintendo for 30 year olds, and most people will still tell you that Nintendo is for kids
DeWolt, what is that like the generic knock off of DeWalt? Maybe don’t be a cheapskate and buy the name brand tools next time and your wife won’t feel ashamed and have to get the extra gifts so the grandson doesn’t feel worthless because he has to have crappy generic tools.
maybe DeWolt is the Canadian spelling?
I think the Canadian spelling is DeWoult, could be wrong though. Either way 1k in the college fund, power tools, x box games is a lot for birthday, generic tools or not.
Heheheh you’re on fire today, I tend to misspell the trade name from a mistaken sense that bots harvest the trade names and suddenly you have ads everywhere. Yes it is the “real” tool.
Yeah, I just bought my son some DeWoke drill bits.
Now let’s see what I get ads for.
bet that 7th grader can’t wait for his saw
I OK’d it with his dad, will just reinforce he can only use it while an adult present. They use power tools in shop (as did I) at that age. He already took over the old band saw.
Someone went through the trouble of framing that quote and forget to include “yellow” ?
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
it’s much better that way – ol’ Frost knew how to adjective
“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”
― E.E. Cummings
truth
that’s also not the road less traveled, that’s the interstate in LA
When you come to a fork in the road, take it
Party of family values lol.
he’s an outlier
it’s far more common for the left to decry and destroy the traditional family
i have known more men destroyed by pornography and sexual addictions, than those destroyed by a healthy God honoring relationship with his wife and children
not me
So can you have a God honoring relationship with your wife while being sexually addicted to each other?
When righteous men do not have children to teach righteousness, then all you have are unrighteous people raising children who will destroy the land.
there are very many righteous men left, bunch of illegals shitting out 8 kids each
Pretty much sums up the current state of the union
Ain’t that the truth. I held onto a bad marriage with a violent drunk of a wife for like 5 years before I finally kicked her ass to the curb. Always wanted kids, refused to until she stopped drinking… that didn’t stop haha. But, in a fricken amazing relationship now. Fuck, a good woman can make a world of difference.
Last night as we snuggled in our bed for the night, my wife slid over and put her hand on my chest and said, “I saved this for you…”
It was an ad on FB that the local John Deere dealer was advertising year end closeouts and she had highlighted the pic of a 3 series with a cab.
I sense opportunity as well as danger. That 3 series is listed for $59K.
I fear I will come home and say hey I talked to Drew down at JD today and he said… “Oh my goodness you get so obsessed with buying things”
Advice on how to proceed?
What does she want? It will likely cost as much or more than the tractor.
half the shouse and 401
That’s automatic. She already has that.
She’s so Scotch, only things she ever wants to spend significant money on are the grandkids or the dog.
She’s relaxed the finances a bit since I’ve settled in here and am back up to my highly productive self with a secure position. Plus we got the property improvements, shed, additional land paid for.
What she will want will be my everlasting love and to autowin the next ten arguments.
I guess you have to decide which you want more
at $6k a pop, she’s willing to spend a lot per argument
You are being set up for something.
You will have to think back about other conversions to see if you can remember what she wants to buy.
Spank her to remind her whose boss, then pick the most manly option.
Common OT W.
mini BMW truck?
Get her the 3 series for Christmas
She doesn’t covet new cars like I do. She is perfectly content with “her” dog hauler the ’11 F-150 and “her” RX.
lol
this didn’t go where i was hoping…i mean….thought it would…
maybe her kink is john deere and you just missed it
He’s getting a Deer John letter or call from her any minute now…
Slide her hand down and place it on your gigglestick and say “this is how you get what you want.”
^ good advice ^
Hahaha yup I’m whipped.
Yup, works every time though.
“is that a roll of certs?”
LOL!
hahahahahahahaha
Buy it. It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission, plus she technically already approved you buying it. Seriously. You need to go buy it today before you mess this up.
GO. BUY. IT.
Mick’s idol is a criminal
Doesn’t matter. He’s a democrat. He will be re-elected in that commie state and nothing will happen to him. Not even worth wasting breath talking about it.
So much can keep his poster of walz up in the chicken coop
yup, out knocking on doors now. All he has left is eggs and dandelions to eat
lol, yeah and dandelions are out of season
freezes them and supplements that with small carp he catches ice fishing
LOL
correct, fk mn
He sucks. Cut him.
knife? hatchet? saw?
hate that commie but I would like to have sex with her 200x and then deport her back to no gun aussie ville
So you’re keeping her around for the next ten years?
1 month
there is no woman (or combination of women) that could get me to perform 200 ppb sex sessions in a single month
sounds exhausting, frankly
Oh, when I was 19-20…thinking about it…how many boxes of condoms bought…TMI…yep not even then, move like three months.
200 times in 3 months is still twice every day and a third time every sabbath (post-church afternoon delight is a miracle, trust me)
Not during church?
6 times a day will wear ya down, even when young
That´s a bit much, yes
you wish hahahahahahahahaha
old man.
I should just round up all your comments and save them.

This wonderful Churchill (7″ x 47) sized cigar is considered one of Cuba’s best with a rich, complex profile delivering delicious notes of dried fruits, citrus, floral notes leather and sweeter touches of caramel.
BOX 25 $2690
Great investment. Time to flip my 403(b) for a few boxes of Cohibas.
You can send me that now
Gonna take you a lot of yard raking to afford that, better get to work.
they were 700 18 months ago. fuck china. there is no way this pricing lasts
Yeah, I haven’t bought much since prices have gone insane.
peter….
one month review of new light in garage.
LOVE IT.
that is all.
very glad to hear that. soon you’ll stop noticing it, but if one day it goes out and you put a regular bulb in there, you’ll wonder whether the switch is working.
you’re spoiled forever. enjoy!
that’s why i have backups.
now i need to use my garage for more than a parking garage and kids toy catchall…
I refuse to hit myself in the nads with a sledge hammer.
big if true
i think that’s fair
LOL
Best laugh of the day.
You’re a Vikings fan. Same thing.
You’re married, she’ll do it for you.
I simply refuse to waste my short life and few weekends doin g bullshit yard work, fuck that.
I enjoy yardwork. It’s fresh air, exercise, and clears my mind.
you mean you enjoy being outside drinking beer watching your wife do yard work.
I enjoy watching my wife garden in the summer, but I don’t let her do the yardwork. She doesn’t do it correctly.
Same
Or touch the grill
if she’s got veggies on a tray or something wrapped in tinfoil, fine.
I do have to inspect the tinfoil wrap job first, though.
My wife will light the grill and that’s it anymore. She somehow manages to burn anything she takes close to the grill to an absolute charcoal-esque crisp.
Sometimes it’s just best to let whichever spouse is good at something to be the exclusive handler.
I got one of those wood pellet burning grills last summer, I love it. Here’s a pic of the grill and the view I have while grilling. Great spot to have a couple beers and smell the meat cookin’
back yard
side view: fire pit
i can appreciate those chairs. simple and cold as heck during the fall
insulated jeans are great for ’em, but there’s cushions on the deck chairs that my wife will grab when she wants to sit by the fire
Nice. Much better than my view of the neighbor’s yard and the alley.
that was my view for several years. I feel very lucky to have survived the housing market crash and ended up in a spot I like with a good mortgage rate. Took a few houses to get there, though
Yeah, I’ve got time. Just gotta be patient and keep at it.
Yup. 100%
It’s brutal. Wife and I are sitting on a few hundred thousand – and I can’t bring myself to spend a dime of it on a house that 5 years ago was priced at 60% less than current market. Won’t do it. I’ll rent until the craziness subsides, if it ever does.
it will, trust me
I believe you. We’re very fortunate. In a great place with a great landlord now. No kids. Live cheap. Made some money the old fashioned way (inherited after my mom died), made more the traditional way. It’s not lost on me just how incredibly lucky I’ve been. Just want to be a homeowner and the patience is the toughest part.
I hear ya, I’m renting after being in a nice house for 15 years. But it will go down more.
i feel like i’m in the minority of only ever buying one house in my life so far. going on 12 years in the same place.
I’m on my only one
I’ve had 4
in how many years
15
should have dated more before getting married
True
I have bought 4 houses over the last 25 years.
excellent work, freezey
We are in our second house. 5 years in the first one and now 24 in our current one.
Just wait till she divorces you and you get to buy another house.
Nice. We still have all our leaves.
Ditto. Leaves on our maple just started falling in the last day or two.
it’s my little 2 acre slice of heaven
This looks like one of those places that was a farm 40 years ago and after dad died, the kids sold it to a developer who subdivided it and built houses on a great deer hunting spot.
there are plenty of deer sightings
Shoot one off your deck
Camp Chefs rule!
I really like it so far
Yoder’s kill them
perhaps, but it’s a big step up from the no-name grill I had before
I have a Weber. I have found it to be a solid grill all around. Best feature is that it is a natural gas grill and my house already had gas line ran to the deck so I never have to deal with propane.
Those are beast
I hope your wife is good at giving head.
Sometimes it’s just best to let whichever spouse is good at something to be the exclusive handler.
ha ha ha, but I doubt she is the exclusive handler of such goings on, lol
I know it’s nauseating for you guys to hear but I clearly outkicked my coverage. My wife is a great cook but I try to manage the griddle, grill and smoker because it is so easy. One of our jokes is brisket, cuz I get credit for smoking a brisket while no one says anything about who made the thin sliced medallion potato, asparagus, salad, lemon meringue pie, etc…
My wife is a good cook, and baker just not the grill. She usually is trying to do too many things and walks away forgetting the grill is going and that its not like the oven where you just let things cook until done.
I love hearing you brag about your wife. It gives me a little more confidence I’ll be doing that when I’m a little older.
My wife is brag-worthy now, but with my kids being 16/13/12 it’s hard to imagine what things will be like in 10 years. It’s an effort to successfully get through every week, it seems.
Teenagers are really hard. She always credits me for being there for the hardest years. We feel bad because we more or less forced them to spend Saturday nights with their dad thinking it was good for them to spend time with him and good for us to have a night off. They didn’t speak up about how bad his drinking was, really those feelings of dismay and embarrassment extend into adult life.
Marriage is work and I am far from perfect. So is she but you won’t get me saying that out loud, I let her say it when I give the ol’ how much more can you expect of me I’m trying my best.
Words of wisdom that come from many years of marriage. I’m on my way.
Thanks MT
only if you have boys
I am very thankful I have two boys and not girls when I see my friends teenage daughters. I would lose my shit. As my dad said, if you have a boy you have to worry about one dick. If you have a girl you have to worry about all of them.
Yeah. It’s a challenge.
More inspiration to be fucking jacked though.
There is that, and to keep the armory well stocked.
I just meant teenage boys are hard because they get boners all the time. I have two daughters, I am screwed.
Well, that joke flew way over my head.
I got it, lol
and you will be old as shit when they begin their psychosis
Yeah I’ll be in full on dementia so I won’t care
perfect, using a walker at HS graduation
Me too, it gives me hope that there is a chance my kids won’t be taken advantage of by a gold digging whore.
this might be the sweetest thing you’ve said in a long time
lol, only Kodiak could make a comment that included “gold digging whore” and have it be considered sweet.
Not often do I let my sweeet and gentle side appear here.
Kym did the same
LOL
none of them under 50 at best can cook a lick, sad times. Need home ec back and learn to cook
Need a mother who can cook and teaches them. Too many spoiled runtlings and clueless kids
My son’s wife is a great cook. But she seldom feeeeeeeels like cooking.
ha, ha, ha, that sucks
But it doesn´t cook 😉
That’s on purpose, of course…
Same
My wife is classic MN passive aggressive, if there is yardwork to be done she’ll ask me some stupid question like “do you think our neighbor could teach me how to use the mower?” when she’s never used one in her life. I want to say stfu and just say you want me to mow the lawn, but I just say, “don’t worry I’ll take care of it”.
It’s all part of the training process. To be clear, you are the one being trained. It’s just like watching a horse get broken.
It’s all about pressure and reward until your subject does what is expected before the pressure is applied.
Exactly. I hate feeling that leash tighten.
or maybe their neighbor is a really good teacher….
Yeah pretty much.
not me
That’s a shame, it’s nice being ridden like a thoroughbred.
You can rent jockeys
I had to take away the wife’s cc’s three different times, but she finally figured it out and was responsible. Took a couple years.
i find it fairly attractive when my wife “surprises” me with a mowed lawn when i get home from work.
Yeah my wife does that sometimes too, wait you’re not talking about personal hygiene are you?
yes….
oh yes same.
this thread is all over the place.
and it’s great
lolyup
???
No
yes
No.
its like shoveling snow.
it’s my little slice of solace
i don’t mind the lawn getting mowed.
she won’t shovel and if she does, i have to redo it. so she just doesn’t anymore haha
I happen to like cruising around on my mower.
had my 4 year old driving it this summer
i just push mow. i don’t have a rider
indigent pleb
my yard is far too small to require a riding lawn mower…
i snicker when i see my neighbor, with the same size if not smaller yard, trying to maneuver his riding lawn mower around
I have like half acre yard, I push mow it though I am thinking about getting a John Deere rider with the dual collector bags
I use a brush hog on most of mine.
Good job, start them young.
Women shouldn’t shovel anyhow, it is hard work and requires considerable upper body strength to move 12 inches of snow.
That’s why I have my wife start while it’s still snowing
she’s got to do it 2 or 3 times to get it done right, but then she appreciates the nice warm stove when she’s fixing stew and baking bread for dinner
You are my hero skinflute
peterplaysskinflute while watching his wife shovel snow
God bless him
Especially if you have kids.
Get those broken condoms out there shoveling. They are getting to be old enough
^prefers au naturel
lot to unpack here
That implies your wife doesn’t generate revenue and depends on you to support her
the value my wife brings to her role in being a stay at home mom, FAR outweighs any financial value she could bring with a job outside the home
God bless her.
yikes, dude. I mean, no offense, my wife gets that way about some things too, but I’d be running a couple of responses through the ol filter like you do before opening my mouth if I heard “do you think the neighbor could teach me…”
LOL
The neighbor is an old retired guy who is always tinkering in his garage. It has been a long time since she said anything like that as I’ve been pretty direct in responding, its a learned behavior and that’s all I’ll say about that.
That’s a good thing to keep in mind. People are programmed by their experiences and sometimes need some gentle reprogramming by their spouses.
Correct, for her she felt it was nagging to tell me what she wanted or ask me directly but suggesting she do it with no intention of actually doing it was somehow better. We’re mostly on the same page now.
Yep.
I learned quickly that when my wife says something like, ” this needs to get done. I will do it..”, she is really telling me that I need to get this done.
Yeah, at this point I’ve got her trained to just tell me what she wants.
Lol
“Why yes Mrs. Cleaver, why don’t you go knock while I kick back and have another beer”
Exactly
lol, that must be where I went wrong. I would just say, I’ll go ask him for you if you want.
I enjoy helping my wife trim the hedge.
ohhhhhh boy
I do, too. I really enjoy landscaping projects, great satisfaction in seeing the finished product.
Same. It’s man taming the earth – even on a minuscule ‘I put in a flower bed for the wife’ level. Nice to see results from an afternoon’s worth of effort. Makes dinner taste better.
Agree. I’m OCD on my yard. I lay down some sick stripes and some fun patterns
Yep, me too.
You just enjoy killing lilacs, you sadistic bastard
That too. The fence is still beautiful.
lol, glad to hear it.
beta cuck
it’s true, it’s true.
“look at him. cutting his own grass like a moron.”
with kids aged as you have, you shouldn’t have to lift a finger at anything.
My dad never had to cut a blade of grass from the time I was 6 and pushed that friggin manual mower around the yard in Minneapolis.
Cook a meal, clean the house, yard work, garden, and a free laborer for mechanical endeavors and construction.
No one is asking you to?
oh five
Enjoy your mid-morning Skolohols!
I’ve got a box of 16 penny galvanized nails, 8 2×4’s and a hammer.
Trusty mutt by my side.
Time to turn it all into the most beeeyootiful tool rack you ever saw!
Winter prep ends today. Snowblower serviced and ready, shovels strategically placed.
And I’ll be smoking grass and watching rush hour traffic from the porch by 4.
Some Skynyrd on the Bluetooth in tribute.
Skol!
That sounds great except the devil’s lettuce part.
I need to change the oil on my snowblower, too. I usually wait until I put the mowers in the shed for the winter, which will be in a week or two. Mowers go to the back of the shed, snowblower comes to the front, & eventually to the garage when the snow starts flying, then the bikes go to the shed.
Mowed for the last time here about 10 days ago. Mowers cleaned, serviced and put away.
I wish. Too many leaves remaining in the trees here. Don’t want my lawn covered in leaves all winter while the snow piles on top, makes it a bitch to clean up in the spring. I try to mow as close to the first major snowfall as possible.
yup. I’m mowing leaves right now too. Deck is high.
so is mjolib
Uh…. true story.
my family’s bikes hang from the ceiling, but we have one more bike than sets of hooks this year. I wonder if my son will think of selling his extra bike before the snow flies or if he’ll panic and wonder where to put it all winter
thanks for the reminder, i need to add a few hooks in the garage and get all the kids bikes hanging this weekend
I’d just toss it in the river.
Increase his rent
Wish I was retired.
I’m not retired. Too young. 44 in a few weeks. Let’s call it a sabbatical.
Sounds like a great plan.
Golfing this weekend. Wife can do the yardwork after golf….
LOL….
I’m golfing Saturday. Doing yardwork tonight so my Wife doesn’t have to.
I’m a great husband.
LOL. You’ve clearly discovered the key to marital bliss.
Hey MT, an Eiffel Tower is when two guys high five while they spit roast (also do not google spit roast) Kym.
It’s worse than I imagined. Sick pervs. Next you’ll tell me a dirty Sanchez is more than a hard working Latino whose name happens to be Sanchez after a full day landscaping.
Well now that you mention it…
tell him about the angry dragon
and a rusty trombone has nothing to do with a musical instrument
basically celebrating a wobbly saw horse
Jealous. Was going to go this weekend, but I got a boat load of lawn/leaves/fall cleanup stuff that has to get done
lmao
Responsibilities when you own a home with a nice size yard
Leaves falling to the ground are nature’s way of telling us that they belong there. Of course I live out in the country and don’t care about a pretty lawn, so mine all stay were they fall.
Or you’re too poor to pay someone to do it, lol pleb.
I do pay for someone to trim all my bushes (that’s what she said)… but not the leaves. That’s easy
I just rented an excavator & tore out the 120 feet of lilacs that were there when we moved in & put up a privacy fence on that side.
I like my lilacs though
I mow my lawn and do some stuff, but cleaning leaves is beneath me.
I don’t clean my leaves, I just rake them up as they are. If someone wants clean leaves, they’ll have to clean them theirself.
I just now my lawn and multch the leaves. Then go over it again and suck them up/bag it. Do that twice in fall and I’m done
lol
I thought the bank owned it and you are just renting it from them
The bank owns everything anyway, in a sense
Until you pay it off, that was my point.
Even after you paid it off… in one way or another, they always own you and what you think of as your property
taxes and death
Good plan

Lmao, how can people believe that shit? Back then the rates weren’t 9% which imo they will be. You didn’t have this inflation and consumer debt. The basis values were lower then too. Now, take into account the fact you CAN’t not get higher unemployment when you raise rates. layoffs are already happening and will be huge, not the bullshit 4.5% they claim. Additionally, you don’t have the gov’t bidding the on the loan debt so the rates will go up faster.
I agree, I think it will be worse than what they’re saying. That projection by Morgan Stanley is way off, but that’s expected, they aren’t going to admit the full reality.
these people told me the housing market wasn’t coming down and look at it now? 9% rates and lending scrutiny and people think in a recession people are going to pay the same or close?
Rates are at 9% there already?
7 now but I think they get there so why would anybody be in a rush un less it’s a stellar deal. Volker raised rates 0ver 20%. this bullshit is smoke and mirrors, this won’t sniff slowing it
Yeah, agreed. I think the last I saw, conventional rates just topped 7% here. Going up fast. We refinanced last September/October, just over a year ago, at 2.25% on a 30 year fixed.
that will help as many can’t afford to sell and lose those rates
it comes down to jobs.
how many people lose theirs and are forced to sell or foreclosed on.
time will tell
yes and if you figure stocks go down 20-30% minimum I doubt you’ll see any hiring and a lot of layoffs
I think stocks are going to take a dump, too. Thinking of cashing out one of our retirement plans & paying the 10% penalty, put the money into T-bills or something & wait out the storm.
Cashing out now is a bad idea. You are trying to time the market twice, once out, and then back in. By stashing in TBills at a time of rising interest rates, the principle of those bills will drop so unless you hold them to maturity you get wammied.
I don’t plan to sit by & watch my investment lose 20-30 percent. It won’t rebound for a while, likely a year or more.
Cash out.
by house in FL.
make it STR.
cashflow baby!
Now you’re talking!
Heard the chicken egg business is booming
Yes
place to be I think is commoddities but I’m not well enough versed on them and financial planners do not like them from what I can tell. Bonds are not a good place to be in thoery in hyper inflation but I get the safety aspect
Don’t buy commodities. Buy mining stocks like FCX. They even pay dividends.
but how can commodities not do well in this?
I just meant buy stocks to the companies that deal in commodities.
I actually own a decent amount of silver rounds and bars. Got a lot of it from my Dad, and the spot market can be a mess. Much easier to get a stock and go that route IMO.
got ya
Since President Dipshit took office I have lost 4 years of retirement funding….so know I have to work 4 years longer or die 4 years sooner…its a tough call.
I kid…..
LOL, seems like that would be a bad plan….but just my luck.
I’m curious to know how you lost 4 years of retirement funding since 5’s hero took office?
Since Jan 20, 2021 when Biden took office:
The Dow is down less than 2%
S&P is down less than 3%
You can go to this link and add in whatever dates you want.

^^^this^^^
I don’t look at my retirement stuff, I just keep putting my 10% in and assume I’ll have some left by the time I can retire.
Nor should you.
Dollar cost averaging is the best strategy for investing. Every paycheck, some of your money enters the market….hopefully in a broad range of stocks.
Stocks price goes down? Then you get more of them.
Stocks price goes up? Then be happy.
The only way you lose is if you pull out.
It can be a good idea sometimes though and if you don’t it might cost you for 18 years.
As Diggs said “Leave it In”
And blow that big wad of cash all over the market’s face.
Sounds like a game of pregnancy roulette
yup, my cousin got sperm jacked and it wrecked his life
bad assumption
I’m not too worried, my wife can retire and very comfortably support all of us with her various retirement accounts and pensions
yup
how’s the dow doing this year
?
Wonderful
I would not advise that, not one bit.
I’m looking at it, crunching numbers. Not 100% on the T-bills, just a safe investment until the storm passes.
Try not to panic. Market losses are short term, stay the course. You will not be able to time the market swings unless you are incredibly lucky. I’m older than you are and have the same or worse portfolio losses, doesn’t bother me one little bit. I am diversified and remember 100 shares of Tesla today is still 100 shares in a year.
Yep, keep buying. I have long enough to retirement and a stable career so the further the market tanks, the better for me in the long run.
Meh, it’s not impossible to analyze the market and forsee the obvious. I’m not going to watch my retirement lose 30% when there are ways to avoid it, that’s plumb stupid.
So what is the obvious that you are seeing?
Companies are making record profits right now not seen since the 1950s.
Consumers wages are increasing and they have not started cutting back on purchases.
The US is still adding jobs.
Inflation is being driven by snarled supply chains, workers salaries increasing, and companies increasing prices to achieve record profits.
Bail on the market if you want to, but getting into T-bills during a period of inflation will cost you.
lol, wut? How’s tech doing? Wages went down due to traitor dems, that is fact. No it’s not.
No inflation was 100% due tpo spending 10 trillion to push socialism and ruin fiat currency
Google is Easy:
Wages in the United States increased 8.57 percent in August of 2022 over the same month in the previous year. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
hell, you can click on an interact chart and look at when wages were in negative territory.
Guess who the president was?
https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth
So, we should just ignore the pandemic screwing up supply chains and record company profits?
Cuz that wouldn’t cause inflation?
I just saw a economist, median family income went down.
the scamdemic was a joke along with the clot shot. You don’t spend trillions for no reason and send checks when to people still employed. They shuttered the businesses, period, by design.
what is the ratio of inflation to wages increase? wage increases don’t mean shit if inflation is higher. I am too lazy to look it up.
There is an obvious recession currently happening, and the worst is yet to come. The fed will continue to jack rates up, as they have to, inflation is still on the rise, and it isn’t slowing.
Probably, also Skoldiers said he’s going to take a dump on me, he’s gross.
I see we’re back around to the Dow going below 20,000.
chase CEO says 25-26. wonder who is buying all these products in a consumer driven economy?
Well 25 isn’t 20%…it’s 16 or so if my mental math is right?
it was higher, FYI
I think it will
ITS NOT A RECESSION!!!
Are you a certified nutritionist too?
Sadly no, unlike Lifer I am not certified in anything, I’m just a cheating whore.
At least you are a proud cheating whore, as you should be
last nice weekend of the year to get things all ready for winter, yard cleaned up etc….
and mrs freeze decides to make plans for the entire weekend….
looks like i’m gonna need to alpha up and put my foot down….
Rest in Peace man haha.
Yessir, with the bye week, I plan to do a lot in the yard. You should see the pile of leaves I’ve accumulated so far. We just make one gigantic pile so kiddo and his friends can jump in it. It’s probably 8 feet high right now, people drive by & slow down to look. It’s awesome.
hahaha i do the same thing.
massive leaf pile, all the neighbor kids abuse it for a while and then it goes bye bye this weekend
Yep, take it all away right before I do the final mowing. Still a lot of leaves in the trees here, so I won’t mow for a week or so.
I’m gonna drive up and throw a dog turd in it.
I have a slingshot.
LOL, my buddy has a neighbor that used to have his dog poop in buddies yard and even has tossed turds in when the dog went elsewhere, anytime he he’d rake leaves he end up with dogshit all over his shoes and bottom of his pants.
Oh man, I’d be raising hell if I were him.
Yeah once he saw the dude doing it they exchanged words, the dude is old and has some vendetta against my buddy but he stopped doing after my buddy threatened to kick his old elderly ass
Yikes. I’m glad I get along with our neighbors, life is too short for crap like that.
Pun intended
lol yeah, I have great neighbors myself, always have actually, only neighbor I didn’t interact with regularly was this family next door when I lived in fargo, they were kinda hermits but the dad saw me digging in my yard to bury a sump pump hose and brought over a pickaxe and just said, “try this” and walked away. It worked great and when I went to return it I rang the bell but no one answered even though I could see them in the house. So I left by the door. Then that winter while back home for christmas he snowblowed the driveway for us while we were gone. I got them a gift card as thank you and had to leave it in mailbox because again even though they were home they didn’t answer the door. Nice people but reaaaaaly weird.
Makes sense. Fargo.
(just kiddin’, stu)
Send her away and work alone like dad should.
her: “so i made afternoon/dinner plans with so and so couple and their kids”
me: you did WHATTT?? you know i do not like them and i don’t like spending
time with them…
her: “but it’s been a long time since we have seen them”
me: yep…THAT’S THE POINT
Best of luck getting out of that, hope you’re able to.
Her: there’s a volleyball tournament 2 hours away today.
me: cool
her: so am I bringing the kids?
me: yup.
yup and then you can hit the local bars for 6-8 drinks and some football and eye candy
does your wife play or coach
mine plays
Wow you got a hot wife.
$$ talks
cash, cold hard cash
My wife refs volleyball. It’s cool, when she’s gone it gives kiddo and I time to go do guy stuff.
Kids playing. I’m on call
LOL here’s how that would go for me:
her: “so i made afternoon/dinner plans with so and so couple and their kids”
me: “have fun”
her: “you’re coming with”
me: “you really want me to go and be an ass the whole time, those people suck”
her: “touche, what are you gonna do while we’re gone”
me: “drink beer and fix shit around the house”
her: “ok there’s a list on the fridge”
me: beer cracking sound
yup. if I get a couple things off her list she’s fine with it taking 4 hours to do 2 hours’ worth of stuff
I’m going to the spa and then some ultra high end craft IPA’s and expensive cigars
The spa? Are you wearing a dress, too?
five
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Great form on the spin.
Gotta be tough in high heels. LOL

lol translation:
Going to the local bath house to get hammered on two buck chuck wine and smoke generic cigs after your “swim”
Five loves Swishers
and Backwoods
I can’t stand swishers, only cigar i’ve had that can be bought at the gas station I could stand to smoke at least half of are Dutch Masters Presidents
I stick to the good sticks. I try to only smoke one every couple-few weeks, so when I do, I smoke something good. Ashtons are my favorite.
I have a few a week, but not from the gas station
Bath house. Now there’s a term I haven’t heard in a decade. Reminds me of standing outside a “pool party” in Palm Springs thinking this sounds cool, you can drink and listen to music in the pool, and my wife audibly slapping her head, “you can’t be that dumb”.
Okay, so I’m not sure what the pool party reference is. I guess I’m naive, too.
I know, right?
See, it is false advertising, there are women in the pool. BTW how can they advertise a male only event? What if I tried to open a men-only exclusive club in Glendive? I’d be burned alive by equal rights lawyers.

So I take she didn’t go with you.
Yeah she was weird about it. Some of those guys were the best dudes I ever met, super friendly, buying me drinks, etc…
Any of ’em offer to push your stool in at the bar?
yeah sure Deshawn
My wife’s got military stuff this weekend so I ain’t doing anything but taking care of the rugrats.
i didn’t know she was in the military. must be the cook? idk what else women do in the military
Mental Health officer, Major Mrs. Benjabitch.
Major? (whistles) impressed.
Yeah she has her shit in one sock when it comes to the military.
I sense you are much younger than I, and by extension so is Mrs. Benjabitch. So good on her for rising in the ranks. My dad retired a colonel but he was on the thirty+ year plan.
Yeah, she’s 34, been in like 11 or 12 years now, should make LT Colonel here in the next two years. I doubt she makes it past that, I think she’s out as soon as she hits 20 years.
beta bitch
Good luck.
i knew out of everyone on here, you would be the one to wish me luck….
I don’t even try that fight anymore. I pick my battles carefully. She has a razor sharp recollection of every disagreement we have ever had in the past and I have no desire to keep stocking the shelves of, “What did you tell me the last time I was so upset that you were such a dick at the party six years ago? Don’t tell me you don’t remember!?!”
have you seen the new commercials where someone can throw a challenge flag if they disagree withi the other?
there is a good one with a wife and husband that i chuckle at because it’s me to a T. i rarely remember things and my wife is always like hey, look at me when i talk to you, freeze, snaps her fingers, right here, then i finally make eye contact and now she knows she can tell me what i needed to know haha
LOL.
Yeah it’s hilarious.
Progressive Insurance.
cite biblical precedent
when it comes right down to it, you’re the head of the household
i like it.
here is the kicker, i could do the work in the morning, but she has a women’s thing at church that morning. so i have the kids (i will have them help me some but they aren’t quite at the age where they are a big help)….
i have about a 3 hour window to get things done. i can do it. i just felt like complaining.
ah. well. sounds like a busy weekend. Let me know how it went!
lol, Truss doesn’t even make it 2 months. what a complete idiot
Good grief, what is going on in Britain?
financial collapse it seems
It’s not a good look. You expect that kind of chaos in a banana republic, but Britain? She was in office for maybe a month?
almost collapsed the system, had to buy a ton of bonds at last second
I’m sure just like here everything is great, housing market is strong and you are saving money at the gas pump (diesel is almost 5.40 here, saving tons I tell ya).
heard in areas it’s over 8
With the energy fiasco in Europe, this could literally be one of deadliest winters in centuries, all because “leaders” refuse to use abundant oil and gas if the greenies allowed it. If Biden allowed it, he could make the US rich just by producing and selling Europe our energy.
Stupid is as stupid does.
I thought Covid was the deadliest thing to ever happen. Didn’t all the exalted leaders try everything to stop that from happening?
In total, I’m sure more people have died “from/with Covid” than the upcoming harsh winter.
But I think more will die from the cold than Covid this winter.
I wonder how they will explain that? Or more likely just be silent about it.
This “energy crisis” is a homegrown disaster. Forced sanctions on one hand, “green” lunacy on the other hand. Will be an interesting winter.
My neice is looking at buying right now. It’s a double-edged sword. Yes, property values will plummet, but also, interest rates will skyrocket. Pick your poison. I’m glad I’m in a position where I can stay where I am, be ready to buy up some land out in the boonies once the economy tanks, then sell my current place once values go back up years from now & build a place on the land.
Yep. That is the strategy.
Although for me and my wife, we are likely already in our retirement house. So we don’t have a real need to move. Unless we go to Florida.
I’m not built for living in town. It’s nice right now because we’re next door to one of the best elementary schools in the area, and we want kiddo to go there. Once he’s out of grade school, my plan is to have my place in the boonies. I’d also like to be in a position to own another place in a warmer climate. I don’t plan to work until I’m 60.
Yup
Good for you.
I am 60 and working. But it is a yearly question I ask.
It will happen within 3 years I think.
I don’t live lavishly, so I don’t need millions to retire. I just want to be able to fish & hang out with kiddo and hopefully some grand-critters until I die.
Yep.
You have to be content with what you have before you retire.
you got the big beach house next to the non Dr.?
Nah.
We are very middle class.
We can’t afford to live there. And frankly, have no desire to live on the Beaches. Unless we won the lottery.
Here’s the worst that happens… they pay a shit rate for a year or two and refi.
I don’t see most markets losing 20%
they don’t lower rates at a a point a crack, fyi. core inflation went UP in sept
Yeah, these rates will stay high for 5+ years, maybe more depending on how leadership shakes out.
The Fed is trying to stop inflation and they haven’t been successful yet. The goal is to create a recession.
I figured a true recession would have started by now. Not sure how this ends. Recession, depression, stagflation, etc……???
How can you stop inflation when the infaltion rate is twice the Fed rate and when in theory it needs to be higher that the inflation rate? Yup, by design and we are already in a recession big. Our lending partner just laid off a bunch of loan people. These are commercial and tough to get and not easily trained.
We are in stagflation now too.
Other than high unemployment, yes, but high unemployment will not be far off.
rising unemployment, which is for sure among the top 33% which is what really matters. The low end wage earner has a lot of jobs out there, that’s why lifer has a job
Brutal.
good to see the Carni doing well at least
How many jobs he have now? I know he’s an air compressor repairman and used golf equipment salesman, I think he teaches certification to the balloon fillers and illiterates at the factory too.
Also volunteers as an AED dummy.
LOL
he’s a really good balloon inspector. once I handed him and unwrapped condom and it only took him 4 or 5 minutes to realize its balloon potential
LOL
I can’t imagine people with credit card debit. I get an offer in the mail everyday about transferring a balance. CC rates are at fricking 20%.
Man do I feel blessed to not be in that situation.
it’s at an all time high, which means people are paying for necessities on them. It amazes me how few actually realize the dire economic situation we are in.
The problem is it’s always “we’re on the brink of economic collapse!” Or on the verge of nuclear war etc… it never stops and people get numb to it.
This is somewhat different.
I don’t disagree, just saying because of terrible major news networks like Fox and CNN, MSNBC, etc… ALWAYS saying how terrible things are… It’s a boy who cried wolf situation.
Solution: Don’t watch/listen to the major news networks. Been years for me, and it’s been wonderful.
Same here, but there’s a reason they are still in business.
Me too w/rare exception
It´s part of the tactic to keep the populace in a constant state of fear. Psychological warfare by the government against the people they pretend to represent and care about.
Wife went grocery shopping yesterday & spent $230. Said she almost shit.
and it will go up, not down. Look at beef prices and grain prices?
She didn’t even buy any meat. We have a freezer full. This was just regular grocery stuff. Insane.
for how long??
3 of you?
Yep, just 3 of us. Our freezer is about 6 feet long.
yup, just the basic stuff
That’s my plan as well. I like the school our boys are going to but I can’t stand living in town. Luckily one of my neighbors is mostly cool, except his favorite football team. The other one is a lazy pos liberal. After growing up in the country, the neighbors houses are way to close. When we start looking for a different place I’m going to tell the realtor that if I can’t take a piss in the backyard without the neighbors seeing, don’t even show me the place.
We have a half-acre and only one neighbor. Neighbors are cool, devout Catholics, dude is a retired policeman & ex-military, but they’re both die hard democrats. Really odd.
I’d put a 10 foot fence up
They’re really nice. Kiddo and I shovel their sidewalk & driveway in the winter. The wife came & got us from the airport when we got back. The only fence we have up on that side is an underground fence to keep the dog in. We’re fenced in on the other side where the running /biking trail is.
I’d chop their garage down and use it for fire wood
They have steel siding.
turn it in and use the money for cigars and a yuge Trump sign
I already have the Trump flag. It’s hanging where everyone can see it from the running trail.
Speaking of the airport I have to recount our experience. Probably the biggest drag coming from God’s country is the time zone change…our flight was scheduled for 5 am and we wanted to be at the security gates when they opened at 4 am so we set alarm for 3 am (which is 2 am our time). Hope that makes sense. Billings has multiple flights leaving at 0520-0600 so if you aren’t in the line two hours ahead you might not make it through security.
Was driving down S. Washington at 0340 not a care in the world whole town to myself, as always going exactly the speed limit. Going by that little park on the right, just as I am level with the next intersection a boy in blue fires up the light bar and siren. I pulled over immediately thinking he was hoping to snag me as a late night booze hound but he blew by me going to stamp out crime.
Must be the first time I thought I was getting pulled over in ten years. I was a little excited to disappoint the guy.
no cop pulls over a 59 year old driving a CRX the speed limit
59? Sheesh.
Him flipping on the red and blues coincided perfectly with the moment I was perpendicular to where he was parked. I didn’t even see him there lurking next to the bushes.
BTW I was driving an even more fuddy duddy vehicle, our RX450h.
Ha!
I haven’t been pulled over in a while, but last several times it’s always been either pleasant for the cop if they’re having a slow day, or bothersome if they’re busy. I’ve got the window down and my hands on the wheel (visible for their safety) when they walk up, and they know I’m one of those nearly insufferable pro-police types.
When they ask for my insurance I tell them it’s in the glovebox and ask if it’s OK to reach for it – I can sense them fighting the urge to roll their eyes.
with barbed wire on top
If they are old and Catholic, they were brought up to be Democrat. You would think the military and police would have moved him more to the right, but some people are locked in at a young age and won’t move even when they don’t like what their leaders are doing.
I think they’re to the right on a lot of issues, they’re just die-hard democrats. Nice folks. I don’t base my opinion of people on who they vote for. They’ve always been good to us, so why dislike them?
yup. the Catholic charity model is eerily similar to the Democrat welfare model. “we need a lot of money to take care of all of the people who need it, so be a good (catholic/democrat) and give it to us”
“no, no, you don’t need to take care of those people yourself, trust us to do it with your money”
of course, now it’s just voting for the most valuable members of our economy to bear nearly all of the load. I don’t know if the church is doing that – I think they want their pound of flesh from everyone.
They just never got the message on how things changed, 50 years ago Dems were todays conservatives and todays dems were communists and executed
Amen. After a day on the (open air) tractor my wife hoses me off in the buff. I love that shit.
TMI
LOL, hope its warm when you’re on the tractor in the buff.
My place makes MT’s look urban, nearest current neighbor 2.5 miles up the bay out of sight
I wish that would happen here.
Completely bollocks, like the rest of the West.
Our QB makes this video a couple times.
Also, the NFL molests collies. Greedy pricks.
email me your address
Done
Good Morning Brute Backers!
Topping out at 75 in Star City today.
45 years ago today the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane went down in Mississippi.
’Big wheels keep on turnin’……’
Damn, sad day for the world of music. One of the best.
Yup, then they lost Collins not long after. Saw them maybe 12 times. Working for the MCA is a fave
I had a chance to see the new version of the band back in 2005 or so in Mississippi, but couldn’t get the time off from work at the time.
I only saw the new versions as I was too young for the original. The Street Surviviors cover had flames and after the crash they took those off but some people got the version with flames, worth a lot of cash
Years ago I moonlighted as a security guard for a company that worked rock concerts/festivals. Got to meet Donnie and Johnny Van Zant. Incredibly nice guys. One of the cooler shows I ever worked. The coolest: Working 4 Midwest dates for Jerry Cantrell – Alice In Chains is my all-time favorite band and he was every bit the legend you’d expect. Killer weed too.
I hated all those grunge groups when they came out as they ruined real music like hard rock for a bit. I still don’t like much but AIC is an exception. Loved staley’s voice.
Yeah, agreed, I AIC was one of the few great bands to come out of that era. I was stationed at Ft. Lewis, just south of Seattle, at the height of the grunge movement.
That’s awesome – Staley had a side project with a few guys from the Screaming Trees and Pearl Jam called Mad Season. Only one album but it’s very good. Staleys vocal range on full display.
Seattle was a lot of fun back then. We also made many a trip up to Vancouver BC (we weren’t 21 yet, so it was cool to go where we could drink legally).
Seattle is a hole now. A hole full of garbage.
Horrible. Our CEO lives out in Portland, that entire part of the country is shit. Homeless people & garbage everywhere, crime is rampant.
Never been there and never will.
It’s a liberal paradise. My wife has family out there (all conservative) and I often wonder how it feels to vote and realize your vote won’t even count against the flood of fools.
Yeah, it’s too bad. Lots of good food/breweries/bars in Seattle and Portland. I haven’t been out there since Covid hit. But will probably make it out there in spring. It will have been 3 years. The homeless problem has been an issue for as long as I’ve been going out there. Not sure what to expect. In Seattle that is.
I went a few years back, wasn’t too bad, loved the Seattle dogs, Sound Garden art park was cool, never found that damn mystery soda machine though.
We did a lot of LSD in Seattle.
I never tried it, one of my college buddies did and he freaked out completely and then fought the cops, lost his flip flops in the process, they sent him home from jail with some shoes though.
I never had a bad experience, it’s all about the setting & who you’re around. It was pretty common in the military because 1) it’s not addictive, and 2) doesn’t come up on a UA.
Yep. Acid is all about the environment. I’m too old to touch it now but I remember several outstanding times on Acid. One at a Rock Fest years ago where I tried to order cheeseburgers from an ATM machine.
LOL – I would have been annoyed and amused to be waiting for the ATM
LOL!
There isn’t much out there that I didn’t try at least once. I was always a booze guy, but would try anything if it happened to be around. I don’t do anything anymore, but I have a lot of stories & memories from my younger days.
Right on cue, it’s time to go teach my class at the treatment center here. See y’all in an hour or so.
So you just ate the cash? How’d it taste?
LOL, this is great 😂
come to get the rooster
One of my favorite songs, I listen to that at least once a week.
Fantastic song. Cantrell write that as a tribute to his father who was a STA Scout/Sniper in ‘Nam. The rooster is a reference to Carlos Hathcock.
You ever read that book about Hathcock? Dude is a legend.
I have multiple copies – keep a paperback version in the truck to read when I go fishing.
That one mission where he low crawled over a few hundred yards over several days just to get the kill shot on that officer. Such an amazing story, can’t fathom how much discipline it took to do that and live. Unreal.
behind the lines and with a bounty on your head. He’s the best ever, not that punk kyle the liar
Meh, I respect all our vets. Might not like everything they do or say after getting out, but I’ll never disrespect them.
Me too but not in this case. Jesse is a vet and guess who ruined his life lying about him to sell his fkn book? Guy was a pyschopath and that’s that. And if I ever see Marcus Latrell I’m going to call him a fkn punk for what he said about Jesse too.
I can’t remember its name but I don’t respect the man who dresses as a woman
Blech.
I don’t think that’s its name, I think its lewis or somethign
Oh, that dipshit. He was just a paper pusher.
IDK, I think he’s a rear admiral though
Klinger?
Best part of that story: They told him they didn’t expect him to come back and he knew if he passed it up they’d give it to someone less qualified. Couldn’t even know what the exact mission was. Had to accept right then and there. He did. Instantly. The will and discipline this man showed and applied to his craft is unreal.
A broke Arkansas farm boy who developed his shooting ability growing up shooting squirrels.
And tried to join the Corp the first time at 14 – all he wanted was to be a Jarhead.
Also came face to face with a pit viper and managed to not get bit in the face.
yup
I thought that was Cantrell’s dad’s nickname.
Could have been. I know that Hathcock’s nickname was Long Trang – which translates to ‘White Feather’ and he’s spoke of Hathcock before in interviews. Working shows with him I got to spend a little bit of time with him – was very nice. He’s spent some time down in Oklahoma as a kid, owns a ranch there and is a big Sooners fan so we’d talk OU/NU rivalry.
‘Ain’t found a way to kill me yet….’
Yeah. One of a kind. Grunge was my wheelhouse as a teenager but I understand it’s not for everyone. Was raised on rock and country my whole life – George Jones, Merle, Willie & Waylon. Conway. Tammy, Patsy, Loretta – and my mother brought rock into my life – Stones, Beatles, Grass Roots, Zeppelin. I discovered Warren Zevon and Steve Earle on my own.
Some greats there, I was raised on that, too. Hank Sr. was my dad’s favorite, listened to him A LOT. Got into rock on my own, & really got into blues & jazz as well, I also love classical. I have a pretty wide range.
Love Hank. All those old outlaw guys. Cash, David Allen Coe, Jerry Reed.
Yes
Hell yes. I saw Merle Haggard live out in Tacoma. My army buddy and I got into a bottle of Jim Beam & a bunch of beer that day. We were obliterated by the time we got there. Had a blast, my buddy puked, & I teased him mercilessly for weeks afterward.
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time is ‘Amos Moses’ by Jerry Reed. Great tune.
Oh yeah, Jerry Reed was funny as hell. Loved him in Smokey and the Bandit, too.
Don’t forget CW McCall
Convoy!
Could never. From Omaha. Also, worked a Kris Kristofferson show in the early 2000’s and he played that show with a CW MCCall guitar strap on his acoustic guitar.
We also talked about a Skoloholics golf trip
Mini-golf, right?
A good game of golf is when I beat the windmill!
Yessir, that one is tough.
There are only 9 teams in the league with a winning record.
10 are at .500
8 are at .333
Oooooof
Why we need to capitalize
Speaking of snowflakes, are you northern tier folks getting snow today? It got down to 37 degrees here in FL this morning. Brrr…
Lol ooOooOoOoo 37
were getting a big warm up this weekend…. 60s
37 is still t-shirt weather
It’s actually warm up here. We had a couple hard frost nights last week while we were gone, but it’s going to be 76 here today. Hot for North Dakota in mid-October.
Just looked at the forecast, we’re supposed to get some snow on Monday.
So mow the lawn Tuesday?
Nah, next week. The snow Monday won’t last, gonna warm up afterward. Still no major snow in the forecast, so no hurry. I’ll get a final mowing in at the latest possible time.
Good morning snowflakes Ben and I were on 5 in the fantasy chat. I had some good laughs last night
Those comments were hilarious..he quickly slithered away when he didn’t have a bucket boi standing behind him. Classic weak bully.
lol, I’ll slap the taste out your mouth commie
lol
Lololol
Sounds kinky
!
There was talks of Eiffel Towering and Kym was involved
they wish, couple weirdos
LMAO
Morning Skolly
So you had fun with five?
Haven’t we all?
Can’t say we haven’t 😀
We were owning him so bad he was running out of comebacks.
I think his last one was leaving quarters on my moms dresser 😂
Ouch 😂
I should’ve stuck around longer. Dang it, I miss all the fun.
I was fun
Good times
Happy Thorsday, all.
Happy Thorsday!
Fursday!
That is one dude you do not want looking at you that way.
No sir. That dude that was messing with him on the plane recently must be dumber than a bag of hammers.
Or looking for some $$$. Still, pretty dumb to mess with that guy.
He got nothing, someone had it on video. He gets no money and he got punched by Mike Tyson, not a good day for the dumbass.
Then that guy is just an idiot, really. Good question though why Tyson can’t seem to afford 1rd class or something.
Maybe nothing available or something, you never know. He was heading to a marijuana conference, maybe forgot to book his trip until last minute, short-term memory and all.
LOL OK, that might explain it.
Man who Mike Tyson punched on plane has long criminal history (nypost.com)
Thing I can’t figure out is why Tyson is flying on JetBlue. Figured with his cash, he can fly Delta.
LOL, he managed his money about as well as AD, he was flat broke a while ago pissing away all the money he made boxing, I think he’s doing ok now though
Yeah, he has a few ventures going that have been successful. Listened to a podcast with him not long ago, seems to have his head on straight & seemed to be comfortable with where he is. Glad to see he overcame everything he was going through. Dude grew up a lot worse than any of us can imagine. If it wasn’t for boxing, he’d probably be in a gutter.
Yep, though through all his trials and tribulations his greatest struggle in life is still the alphabet.
It’s the age of entitlement and people just assuming, “I can do whatever I want, this guy can’t touch me because I’ll just sue…OUCH!”
“I’m Hurricane Peter McNeely and I’m gonna wrap him in my cocoon of horror.” lol gets knocked in like 2 mins.
His fights were so much fun to watch back then, just vicious. Remember when that gang leader tried fighting him? He just toyed with him for the entire fight & beat the shit out of him. Wouldn’t knock him out because he wanted to keep hitting him. Like a cat playing with a mouse. Unreal.
Same look my wife gives me when I say I don’t know how the toothpaste spatter got on the mirror.
Good morning, happy Thorsday!
Vikings still in first place.
All is well.
Good morning Surly!
Feels good to be on top, for the time being.
Wonder how many of the NFCN teams playing lose this weekend?
Bears @ Pats 90% chance they lose
Dallas @ Lions 60% they lose
Turd Fucks @ Commanders 45% they lose
o think the boys beat the lions
Looking forward to those games, 2 of the 3 teams will lose I think. Just can’t really say who will lose and who will win 😀
Yep, I see an FTP win. Bears and Lions lose.
I’d LOVE to see the Peckers lose to the Redskins, that would cause a complete and total meltdown in Entitled Town.
Agreed, but that is a bad Redskin team (I can’t bring myself to use that stupid new name). I think GB rebounds and kicks them pretty badly.
Lion could beat Dallas, they are playing in Detroit. Sooner or later, the Lions have to start to play up to their talent level. As for our Vikings, I they are playing up to their talent level.
Is it talent if they can’t win?
or just draft status?
I think their coach sucks and their team isn’t very good. Remember before the season when kodiak & his boyfriend were telling us that the Lions were going to light it up this year? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
You’d like to think so with that stable of draft picks they have but it hasn’t come together yet.
I don’t know what the fix is.
rams at least milked a SB ojt of stafford and now they’re going to shjt
Meh, Cleveland had half a billion draft picks every year for a decade & they still suck. It’s a culture thing with both of them, they’ll suck no matter what.
I’ve been saying it since last year..
but right now we need to prepare for some longtime favorites to not be on the team next year.
wonder if they’ll be trade bait or not.
For sure. AT will likely be gone, could see Harrison Smith gone (which I’d hate, but business is business), & they could even trade Danielle Hunter if he can’t get the 3-4 figured out. Should have traded him while his value was at its peak, but who knew the injuries were coming? Dalvin Cook will likely be gone as well.
He plays a full season healthy that’s higher than the last 2 seasons.
7 pressures 3 sacks isn’t off the charts but hes healthy
True. I think we’re used to him lighting up the stat sheet. He may be doing exactly what they want him to do, but we need to apply more pressure. Sacks don’t necessarily mean pressure, we have far too many plays where the QB has 4 & 5 seconds to stand back & scan the field.
Yup. Z has 5.5 and is 1.0 off of the league lead.
he’s also always been a 3-4 OLB.
does it matter? Maybe.
who’s drawing the better matchup? I dunno.
Hunter is 28 his value isn’t getting any higher I would think.
could it? Sure.. but I doubt it.
is he worth a 1? IMO yea… but a 5-1 team isn’t selling at the deadline
No, I meant could have traded him a year or two ago. It’s alright, I still think he’s elite, but looking back with hindsight…..
He was injured the last two years.
well… all of 2020 and most of 21
Nobody was saying to trade him in 2019.
Exactly, like I said, looking back with hindsight.
Those 3-4 have huge cap implications for next year too.
Vikings have never been ones to “sell high”. They are the typical Minnesotan run it til the wheels fall off kind of franchise.
I’m hoping the new regime will do things more smartly.
not likely
A lot of people picked the Lions to be NFCN contenters. But once again, they look like pretenders.
I think what derailed them were the close loses early, when the offense was firing on all cylinders, but the D kept finding a way to lose the game. OR were those Viking 2021 games I was watching?
what dersailed them was losing half the team to injuries and a bad HC
Sounds like those excuses that you usually say you hate.
I’ll have the last laugh as they are a lot more healthy now and will own this division for a decade
Like they’ve always had.
this time it’s different right?
either bet or STFU
I’ll bet you that they don’t win the division for the next decade, as you stated.
Now is the part where five backs off of his original statement and tries to bet on something that was never said.
29 years since they won their last division title.
but sure… It’s about to turn around
nary a clue on their talent or situation. Nice day for you to knock on doors and stump for waltz lib
you mean 1 time or all 10? also, bet or stfu
You said they’d own the division for a decade, so bet or STFU.
they will
Don’t worry, he’ll just change the definition of “owning” after the fact (like the dems have with recession, woman, etc). Kind of like how he now defines “primetime” as MNF.
Do you mean national pundits? I don’t recall anyone on here saying the lions would be contenders, only that they will be improved and maybe finish around .500
correct
Thank you.
FTP Loses.
Heineken is gonna ball out.
That would make me SO happy.
Then eventually hosting the Vikings…..
I think GB wins this week.
Heinicki gets two games under his belt and beats the Vikings??
Double trouble
huh?
double Posted a tweet

Foreplay was great!
