With the stench of Sunday’s game another day removed, we look forward to Thursday night’s Thanksgiving Day matchup in between the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. I have a good feeling about this game. I was concerned about the Dallas game being a potential letdown game, although I don’t think anyone expected that disgusting mess of a game we saw on Sunday. On that same token, I see that butt-whooping being a wake up call to this team, and I expect them to come out swinging on Thursday.
The Vikings match up pretty well against the Patriots, if the coaching staff has an adequate game plan put together, which they DID NOT have for the Dallas game. I see the Patriots as having a similar defense as Dallas, although not as strong in some areas. New England’s defense is stronger against the pass than they are against the run, but without the ferocious pass rush that Dallas possesses. I hope to see the Vikings offense dish out a heavy dose of Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, and once they establish the running game, it should open up the passing game for Kirk, JJ, and company. We’ll find out in a couple days.
Minnesota Vikings News:
Here’s the initial week 12 injury report from Vikings.com. Also from Vikings.com, here are the few lone highlights from Sunday’s shit show, and there are lots of interviews and more to sift through in the media vault.

Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion-Part Deux: 22 Nov 2022 – Skoloholics
LOL, I remember when it was reported he’d be the next Vikings HC
Vikes gonna cover. Book it.
Man, I miss Jannifer. I found out how to make 90k a month being a gigalo to even older people who hadn’t turned their bank accounts over to their kids yet.
lol. I liked Jeffrey too
You can make more than that clearing parking lots of snow. Plus, you get paid to have fun cruising around in the skid loader. I’m seriously thinking of buying one here, I could make a killing in the winter, just get contracts. I love driving equipment anyway, and it’ll tie in nicely with doing real estate. Also would give me a reason to buy toys like skid loaders, and maybe some day, a pay loader & backhoe. Oh my. I’m getting giddy.
You’d be gouger-level in no time.
Former coworker bought a snow plowing and blacktopping company out in Stillwater a few years back. He really sounded enthusiastic, and maybe he’s doing great, but the reviews of that business have tanked since he took over.
Ouch. This would just be me for now. It just sounds like fun to me. I guess I miss working with my hands & stuff a bit. I always loved running equipment, it’s like playing with big Tonka trucks.
Outside of having to get my ass out of bed early enough, plowing does sound like a fun gig.
lol she’s back
She gone
Anybody see this shit? HAHAHA
https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2022/11/21/vikings-display-porn-star-on-jumbotron-during-salute-to-service/?utm_campaign=dfn-ebb&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sailthru&SToverlay=2002c2d9-c344-4bbb-8610-e5794efcfa7d
I had heard about that. WTH?
Haha people have been doing that with that porn star for a while now. Some poor sap always gets suckered into retweeting or posting it.
I guess I wouldn’t know who the dude is, I don’t really watch porn anymore, grew out of it. Only ones I remember from porn is Ginger Lynn (yum), and then of course Ron Jeremy & John Holmes were popular.
This guy is I guess kind of the Ron Jeremy of today (prolific, not the other reason).
But since he’s a fairly regular looking dude, it’s really easy to fool people with posts like these.
Maybe he can dress up as a Patriots football player next time…
I checked in on the DN yesterday and that was posted, some guy named “stormofwisdom” said the Wilfs are incompetent because it got posted. LOL, like wtf? So the Wilfs not being informed on porn stars makes them incompetent, some people man.
Overreacting gets the clicks!
Jannifer is a whore
You’re no Paula.
One of our HR gals just sent me this.
Got a new scotch last night. Anyone here ever delve into The Octomore? Super heavily peated stuff. Pretty cool concept. Every year the do a new batch. Usually 5 years old and they do a control batch that is just aged in your standard ex-bourbon barrel, that’s typically the X.1 then they do usually 2-3 other different type of barrel for X.2 X.3 and sometimes x.4 so you can see what the different aging process does to the same juice. I usually wait to see which one gets all the best reviews and just get that one. I have had many I currently also have open a 12.2 and 7.3. I need to do a blind taste test on them all to see which I like best. Cheers everyone!
I will never understand the appeal of peated whisky lol
I’ll never understand the appeal of characterless boring whisky (actually I do very much understand the appeal of “smooth” or what I call boring whisky, it’s just not for me). Even when I make a mix drink I want Wild Turkey 101 or something with some damn gusto. I love smoke flavor in food as well. I will say you can see the color on that whisky because it was aged in wine casks not because it’s very old. That’s my jam, get the sweet of the wine mixed with the power of the peated whisky.
I want something to take my mind off the day from the experience. I want a nose on it that’s interesting and full of flavor same thing with the palate.
Fair enough, I just don’t have the tastebuds for all that overpowering smoke. Much prefer a smooth whisky or brew with a good nose & flavors.
That’s where I started too on my whisky journey. It was smooth Canadian whiskies to start, then it was bourbons, then it was more Ryes, then more scotch, then more peated scotch lol. I do the same shit with music. Grade school was 311 and Nirvana, Middle school Godsmack, PanterA, KoRn, ICP, Slipknot High School Lamb of God, Soulfly, Fear Factory. College was Death, Meshuggah, etc… I keep wanting it more aggressive and complex haha.
*aggressive* and complex for sure haha
Been getting into some fusion stuff from the 70’s & 80’s lately like Casiopea, kind of crazy to hear how those bands so clearly influenced the new wave of jazz/funk like Cory Wong and Vulfpeck.
Thats awesome. I mean I love good folk music, classic rock, country… as long as it’s an honest expression of art then I’m down… but I really sway towards metal. Just what’s in my blood IRON! lol
Hah, it takes the right mood for me to really get into metal. But the screamo stuff just loses me.
I don’t like it either, it tastes like mort, which is dirt mixed with moss. I like a nice sherry cask aged scotch.
same
Five has good taste
alright alright let’s take it easy here
Only way to go is sherry aged and highland/lowland/speyside. Peat shit is crap as is light beer and yellow tail wine
The same reason you hate tasteless boring light beer is the same inverse reason I love peated, strong scotches.
Yum
don’t bother on the taste test, think sweaty socks you wrung out after a long hike in 113 degrees
Sounds like my Vulva will get delivered to the horse pistol at 11 am MT. They said something about a cheque? I am not the keeper of the cheque book.
The fact she’s willing to pay for one for you is amazing in and of itself.
lmao, it’s with his money
*our money
lol
Wait until he’s gone, then she’ll spend it on stuff that he abhors…
see: a third beer in Montana
Well, then it would be her money. However, she is the frugal one – but she loves me. Even though I could have driven one of the 4WD pickups I chose to drive the Ranger and although she gave me the “not impressed” smirk when I got home called over to Dickinson and got me a snow and ice conquering Vulva the very next day.
I was going to make a tasteless joke about having her vulva removed and needing a replacement, but I never took biology…
Nice of wifey, did she lay out your clothes today?
No, should she have?
I get up at 0530, throw on some long johns, pull on a pair of Carhartt pants I wear all week, then a warm sweater and a pup top/hoodie. Lace up a pair of boots and strike out in the darkness with Tuck. Got back and fired up the tractor, scooped some snow from in front of the shipping container we’re loading the couch from on Thursday. Went in, fed the dog, stripped off the long johns, wifey had some oatmeal, sliced pineapple and a yoghurt set out with my coffee. We chatted about the Vulva delivery and plans for the day. She didn’t have to make lunch today as I’m having a reuben from the cafeteria. She drove me to work and I took off my pants and pup top, put on some scrubs.
I know you wanted to know how my morning went.
it’s a full life
Yep brutal and very stressful.
Eight dating first trimester ultrasounds from Miles City so far today. In layman’s terms, 8 new pregnancies establishing today. Must be something in the water over there.
Sad story, Kym’s friend has a friend who was 4 months prego and dropped dead. Blood clot. She just got the booster…
Damn.
Brutal
Terrible tragedy.
MDU just had a position open up in Glendive. I didn’t apply. Actually thought about it for a second.
I love it here. I also loved the “flyover state” spot that ESPN aired on GameDay. So true. 2:32:00 of this vid

All this talk about food music…..
Good stuff
crap and that dude is a 1st class idiot
What on earth?
People really get worked up about Creed. Lol. Weird I would put that on here.
Huh, I always liked their music. I guess I didn’t listen to them much because I didn’t notice that they’d disappeared. Heard he had some struggles, not sure if it was addiction or something else.
I haven’t watched the Creed movies…
I think he sings Christian rock in the ring or something.
google about him, a moran
What’s everyone doing for Thanksgiving?
Me, we’re going to get two turkey dinners from the cafeteria for lunch, then my wife is making a chicken pot pie and my stepdaughter and SIL are coming out to the compound for dinner. The SIL is the Saints fan that watched the Christmas game where Kamara raped the Vikings so hopefully that doesn’t repeat against NE. I work on Friday so early to bed after that.
Probably take the choco out for a pheasant run, too.
Sounds fun. Stepdaughter still have to sit at the kiddy table? lol
Poor me, I got three Thanksgiving dinners this year. 2 different sisters then elderly mom wants to invite a couple people over for another one, so I’m going to make sure she doesn’t burn the kitchen house down.
I’m going to weight more than Linval pretty soon…
No kiddy table this year, pretty empty shouse unfortunately. The SIL and I will load one of our couches from the shipping container into his pickup, stepdaughter is using it in her new office.
Stepdaughter had a genius hack (or maybe she saw it on Pinterest). Whenever she travels for work, her employer sends boxes of splints to meet her wherever she goes. She has always struggled opening the boxes because, ya know, TSA rules. She had the grandson grind the edge of a defunct metal credit card to a razor sharp blade and can use that to cut open boxes. If you hear of a plane hijacked by someone using the edge of a credit card, this conversation never happened.
@Lol, my name is Ray Epps but I’m not a fed@
Well, I live 11 hours from my parents, sister, and brother and my sister in St. Paul doesn’t speak to me anymore, so not going to either of those places The MIL and FIL live close to me but go to mexico every year, so I’ll be going to my wife’s sister’s husband’s cousin’s for Thanksgiving. Essentially this…
In WVA we’re all related, and willing.
LOL
Sidesgiving with the wife’s crew of friends tonight.
Stress test and abdominal scan tomorrow (yaaay!😬)
Prime Rib Thursday.
Vikes bounce-back Thursday night!
Back to the old man’s house Friday to watch the Husker bowl game and nosh on my favorite thanksgiving food: Cold Turkey Sammiches with mayo on homemade bread.
Rest of the weekend spent watching the foosballs in a marijuana haze (can’t wait to see Michigan/Ohio State)
I always thin slice the leftover turkey then make sammies with it, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy in a buttered hoagie type bun.
That sounds amazing
Its a bit of work but I feel like its worth it.
You eat turkey and mashed potatoes from a butt?
You don’t?
My wife and three kids and I are hosting my parents, my sister and her husband, and four of their five kids (fifth is 18 years old and currently overseas). I’m smoking a pork roast and supplying wine and beer, everyone else is doing the rest.
We’ll have a fire in the fireplace (and possibly a bonfire outside) and a movie on for the kiddos in the basement later with the Vikings game (or not!) on in the main room.
Should be a good time.
I’d drink until I forget what’s going on
thanksgiving day at my parents with my sister and her family.
momma freeze goes all out. it will be VERY good.
no montana this year, perhaps next year. i need to get some pheasant hunting in though.
have fun
Based on what I know of your wife’s cooking I would NEVER go to thanksgiving at her house.
my wife is actually a very good cook.
keeps getting better.
and what i appreciate about her, if something isnt good, she will try to make it good until it is. this is strictly about food, nothing else…
Also, on a side note, my wife made sloppy joe’s the other day and said she was trying a new recipe, I didn’t think anything of it until I looked down and saw green peppers and I was like, “oh shit, this gotta be what Freezey was talking about.” She was like who’s freezey? I said nevermind and then took a bite. It sucked. She said she found the recipe on pinterest and I couldn’t help but ask, “was the person who posted it from Montana?”
Lolololol
Haha
hahahahahahaha
this is hilarious.
Oh Lord, nothing worse than the “trying a new recipe I found offa the internet, obscure cookbook, cooking show” etc people
Sometimes they’re good, she found a recipe for pepper nachos that was really dynamite. Hit and miss but I like adventure.
Eddie Murphy Raw is one of the best of all time, I think Delerious might even be better. I dunno, they’re neck-&-neck.
LOL
Heading up to ol’ Elk River to celebrate with the family, including my uncle who deserted the Vikings to become a Pats fan in the mid 2000’s. Hope we crush ’em.
Standard fare foods, plus some good brews.
Welcome back to the Motherland of Elk River.
Used to be that one of the few bars in town was a Packer’s bar (Time Out). I’d go in just to crap on their team.
Good on ya!
where’s the family at in Elk River?
Just off of county road 35 on your way to Big Lake via the backroads. New Aegir location is great, they’ll just walk the 1.5 miles with the pooch (and sometimes call the neighbors for a ride home).
IIRC, you’re over behind Menards on the other side of town?
stalkerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“behind Menards” is like 30-40% of the residential area of Elk River haha
yes, in a Tuff Shed with wifey and 4 kids. we will all be there soon. FJB!
Going to brother’s place, which is only two miles away. Mom will be there. Nieces and nephews. I will probably bring my wife, as well. Maybe…
I am making the mashed potatoes. Thinking I will do them up with a dash of garlic and cream cheese, in addition to butter and milk. Unless my sister-in-law is making gravy. Then I’ll keep them plainer. Have to discuss with her. One can really go nuts and use half Russet potatoes and half Gold potatoes to get the best of both worlds with starchy and creamy. Potatoes are one of my staple foods. I eat them constantly.
My niece never has time to watch the Vikings, so Thursday night will be her first chance in a long time. They always lose when she watches, so I am picking them to drop the game against the Patriots. It’s time for a mid-season slump anyway. They are a normal thing. Nothing to get too high or low about. It is simply time to lose a few. Bellicek is probably giddy with the possibilities after watching the Dallas tape.
On a normal large family get together for Thanksgiving, my job is the mashed potatoes. We are mashing bros.
My mom basically peeled potatoes six days a week for about 20 years. We had mashed potatoes with every meal growing up, except on Sunday. Then she would make spaghetti.
I had my first Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday already.
I’m the slicing/carving bro. Carried a knife on boats for 20 years, slicing herring and ropes/lines.
If you see a guy who is stuck and is spending an inordinate amount of time figuring out if he wants a firearm or a knife to commit a crime, this convo never happened.
We are heading to a friends house for the typical Thanksgiving dinner then off to the mountains on Friday a weekend of hunting, sledding and x-mas tree hunting.
I’m smoking a turkey, if I can find some really big rolling papers.
Girlfriend’s family for Thanksgiving… They are not a fan of me, so it’ll loads of fun lol. Then going to see Pentatonix on Sunday and Dentist appointment Monday that was skillfully planned so I don’t need to drive the two hours back after the concert Sunday and have work the next day. Then I get a Jury summons this week for Monday and I go, I have had a medical appointment for well over a month that day, sorry lol.
Which concert? Celine Dion?
Pentatonix
Wow, I never expected someone on this board to even know who Pentatonix are haha.
I haven’t listened to them in a while, but I know they have a new bass. Avi was amazing, but I’m sure they got another great bass singer.
My girlfriend really likes them and it’s all their Christmas stuff. I found them a long time ago before they blew up big because I got into this band Van Canto which is a metal Acapella group with a drummer. Check this shit out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSpuVsLnl1k
lol of course it’s the Germans
Right? lol
my wife actually watched them on the tv show they were originally found on and my wife has followed them ever since
she’s an OG!
smoked ham in slow cooker, scalloped potatoes and rotel dip. creamed corn, mucho cervezas (mexican for many beers)
¿mas de dos cervezas?
Can you ask the developers if there’s a reason that I see the question mark upside down?
could you make that larger next time? Only fills up 92% of my monitor
LOL, I got that from the giphy library on here. Not sure why it’s so big (TWIS).
si senior and mucho chicas muy caliente
Vikes bring him in?
Got a working induction cooktop, steam condenser arriving on Friday, brewing over the weekend. Now to decide what to brew….
Sounds like winning to me.
I’ve got that tiger blood
If its for five then session beers.
3.2 coriander saison for ol’ fiver
Correct, or (I don’t know how they’re made by I assume brewing equipment can do it) a really fruity flavored seltzer.
I hadn’t thought about this until now, but looks like it’s basically the same as brewing beer but easier. Just dissolve corn sugar instead of boiling a wort and follow pretty much the same process with all the same equipment. Might be interesting to try for summer…
I’d also looked into brewing a sour or kettle sour a few years ago, but you pretty much need a specialized kettle that has a lid that can seal to brew that. Maybe someday.
My cousins husband is obsessed with sours. He has a degree in chemistry and makes drugs for Pfizer and started brewing a while ago. I don’t really like sours but he makes some I have enjoyed. If I ever started brewing I’d probably just make IPAs and Stouts, maybe a strong Strawberry Blonde for summertime.
Surly has made some really good kettle sours that I would love to clone, someday.
I have always added whole fruits (or halved) during secondary fermentation, it’s pretty wild to pull out a bag of white strawberries/raspberries or just mush after a couple weeks in the carboy. Pretty cool how the brew picks up the color.
Now I want to start brewing myself, how much it cost to buy all the equipment? I only know it cost about half a mil for the Odell brewery in Englewood.
For as much as I spend on stouts, I could probably afford it, too.
Friggin Old RasPutin is getting way too inflated…
Holy moly some of those strong darks are expensive nowadays
Yeah, it is pricey, its almost $20 for a 4 pack of Todd the Axe man or Abrasive.
getting some today, 8.99 I can get it for a 4 pack
Not too much actually, you can start out with the basics (except for bottles and a chiller) for $120 from Northern Brewer –
Brew Share Enjoy Homebrew Starter Kit
And you can almost certainly find all you need for less on craigslist. Easily under $200 for good starter equipment, probably under $500 for good stuff.
Here’s what I’d say for essentials
And my preferences (more $$):
If I don’t buy beer for like a week I think I can swing that.
Worth a try, then! As long as you are anal about cleaning & sanitizing and work quickly during transfer everything should go well and you end up with 5 gallons of beer, ~50 bottles.
I’m gonna put it on my christmas list. Where do you buy clones and what are they, only thing I know about them is from star wars and trailer park boys.
A clone is just a homebrew recipe for a beer from a brewery.
I usually just google “[brewery] [beer] clone recipe” and either a kit already exists or someone has posted their recipe on a forum.
For you, starting out you’re going to want either all extract or at the very least partial mash because you need a mash tun to do all-grain brewing. (it’s a whole process)
For example, this site has a partial mash Super Cru clone that you can grab the recipe from.
New Belgium's Super Cru (18E) – EXTRACT Homebrew Ingredient Kit
You can either buy the kit or just use the instructions from their site to go to a local brew supply shop and buy those same ingredients yourself.
If you can only find an all grain recipe that you want to try, I’d just google around to find a suitable extract to substitute for each grain that is used. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth the trouble to all-grain homebrew. Much harder and messier for only slight gains in taste – if at all.
His are piss as are almost all in USA. Belgium is king of those and this is the best in he world, period.
There are a few American breweries that do good sours, but they aren’t really even comparable to these old Belgians. Almost a different style of beer.
Dogfishhead Sea Quench, Avery El Gose and Sierra Nevada Otra Vez are awesome.
The Bruery also does some really good, but expensive, sours.
Most suck. Odell’s and Avery have done some.
Yup, awesome. Monk Cafe is belgian too, close to Duchesse. Rodenbach, etc.
lol, I hate coriander in beer, hate those seasonals
I knew that suggestion would work lol
never, #alphaLife
Lime seltzer.
lol, the holiday spirit would be overflowing
Winter time… Hoppy Red Ale/Red IPA . You get the nice malty notes of the fall Festbiers and then the hoppy festive pine notes for the holidays.
Red IPAs are one of very few beers I’m really not a fan of. I’d rather have a Winter Ale for the Christmas-y spices flavor.
Probably my favorite beer to find. Oscar Blues G’Knight started it all for that style.
Not a terrible beer. Oscar Blues is generally overrated though.
Agreed but they have some really good beers too. Old Chub and G’Knight are great beers
I’ll always have a soft spot for Oskar Blues for this
Old Chub rules.
the “Rare Girth” always makes me laugh
Yeah, I get royalties from every package they sell that says “rare girth”
TWSS
false, no red. No death metal, no icky peat scotch.
I don’t know how they made it, but New Belgium used to make this Super Cru beer that was good, you should make that and sell to me.
I’ve added it to my list of clones to try.
I’ve done Dry Dock’s Apricot Blonde before, which was quite good even though it somehow ended up 50% stronger than I intended.
50% stronger? That is not a bad thing!
Well it got a little dangerous because it was a 8.6% that tasted like a 4%! I was shooting for ~6%, but I think maybe some yeast got into 2nd fermenter and fermented some of the sugar from the apricots I added.
Dry dock is really good, used to drink it in CO when I lived out there but haven’t seen it in TC, be even better 50% stronger. Let me know when you make Super Cru, I give you very good price.
A good friend of mine has a cousin that works there, so we always got the special treatment and free beers when we’d go out there. We stopped by on our way to see the 2017 eclipse at Grand Teton, and they gave us 3 pallets of cans that had been mislabeled or filled incorrectly.
I wish they distributed out here.
Holy shit
Hell yeah brother. Was a great camping trip, even though we weren’t prepared to chill all that it lasted pretty well just cooling it at night and throwing a tarp over it during the day.
They had stacks and stacks and stacks of those kind of cans. Apparently they can’t sell anything if there’s any defect in the label/barcode or if it’s not within like an ounce of what’s listed. Pretty much everyone drank at home for free they had so much.
Pyramid Apricot is better
I’ve never seen Pyramid around here, looks like they’re donzo?
I’m going to make some MickEggNog.
from the chickens of course.
This could be… interesting. Pics or it didn’t happen!
You had me for a second there…
Pass, the thought of chicken in egg nog does not sound good to me.
maybe he shreds it, i doubt it’s like cut in chunks
Shredded sounds terrible as well
How’s the sourdough?
Your obsession with his sourdough is weird.
hahahaha
He uses his own special yeast that he carefully cultivates on a part of his body.
hate egg knob
Crushed it at the gym today.
Got 8 reps at 225 on RDLs.
Just fries the hammies.
Also maxed out the keg press machine at 405. Got 16 reps.
That was after doing 5 sets of squats with weights between 225 to 315.
I’m a monster.
And pre workout is basically crack.
Or coffee.
Creatine too?
Both. It makes my skin itch sometimes
Creatine? Really?
lol it’s funny how different drugs are viewed
I get similar feelings from too much coffee in the morning (we have some strong brewing machines), one too many white russians, edibles and I’ve heard the same about pre-workout
Ah the pre workout makes sense.
I just drink some coffee… it does the same.
Shock the glutes man, shock the glutes.
Big Stupid Face indeed
I was at the gym at 4:30 am.
bench 225 x3 then set burnouts to failure after 3rd set with 185, 135.
incline dumbbells light with 75 lbs x3 compound set fly’s with dumbbells 50 lbs
dumbell shoulder press x3 60’s compound set with lateral and front delt raises.
fly machine x3 165
tricep head bangers with 90 lbs barbell
tricep 75 behind the head press x3
abs and out the door.
explains a lot tbh
90 is a decent amount for tri barbell. I usually call them skull crushers, but same thing.
For fun I’ve been trying to max out all the machines at the gym. 5 reps at max weight. I’ve maxed out most of the leg machines.
Got about half of the upper body ones. It keeps it interesting.
sure
Oh 5. If we ever met in person you’d know what a true alpha male looked like. Best bring an extra pair of pants after you piss yourself in fear.
Actually would like to meet some of you in person for a drink. If anyone ever goes to a Vikings game, I’d be happy to meet up for some tailgating.
And don’t worry 5. I promise I’ll be nice. I’d like to meet you too. I’m actually pretty cool to hang out with. I bet you’d have a good time after you stopped shaking.
well i’m putting rage against the machine on this morning.
it’s that kind of morning.
that damn van battery
Those damn minivans.
thankfully that is not an issue anymore haha
My favorite part is how the auto parts store employee yelled at you and your wife was unimpressed.
i’m glad i talked back to him, because it was absurd that he yelled at me. i was proud of how i handled the situation. i’m sure five would have alpha’d him into submission….
unfortunately mrs freeze is so used to amazing things from me, changing a battery was very unimpressive
You should have talked for 75 minutes to the R-word customer service agent I talked to Saturday evening. The service tech said that MidRivers has contracted out all their weekend customer service to the lowest bidder. OMG sososo bad.
FWIW the problem was a bad fiber jumper. Whatever the fuck that is. At least I know who the local service tech is now, know his mother well, told him “you want me to be helping your momma when she shows up in the ER some Saturday evening short of breath, you wanna make sure my fiber works.” He gave me his cell #.
Nothing like some good negotiating leverage.
Leverage is essential in all negotiations.
Absolutely. I’m still pissed at that R word that kept me on the phone for 75 minutes after I said a network engineer and two IT guys troubleshooted the problem on Saturday afternoon and knew the problem was with the ISP. I’m also pissed that no tech showed up until Monday morning. That won’t happen again…well hopefully the new fiber jumper means it will never happen again…but you get my drift.
A friend of mine has a doctorate in Electrical Engineering and physics.
His only job 25 years ago was figuring out exactly what shape the ends of fiber optic cable should be to get max bits throughput, and then how to cut them accordingly.
Well, it is certainly amazing when it works. A gigabyte of data zooming back and forth, real time voice recognition, speed of light latency, etc…
He worked at that job for 5 years, but knowing him he did his job in the first 5 minutes then slacked off for 5 years… But I do know his company sold his technology to a bazillion fiber optic companies.
Doesn’t sound so bad to me
Just a bit of light flashing, really!
I was just researching fiber optic cabling for an issue at work (turns out transmitting 100s of 25 MB images per second and then analyzing those is hard).
Pretty crazy how precise the ends of fiber optic cabling has to be, and the trouble you have to go through to splice if you happen to damage the incredibly fragile stuff in the field.
Any grown man should be able to change a battery, you should be ashamed of how long it took you.
Yup, and hopefully you don’t lose all yer settings
Freezey after he does something as simple as changing a battery
I’m in an old country mood. Yesterday, I was listening to Insane Clown Posse. I have a wide range when it comes to music.
Is that Greasy Adolf?
Same. I was a Juggalo in middle school. WOOP WOOP! Down with clown! Saw them live in college. They put on a great show tbh. Covered in Diet Faygo.
ICP is good.
I play it whenever I smoke meth and steal a bunch of copper wiring
And catalytic converters
I was going to add that lol.
Someone woke the lazy millennial up too early this morning.
their first self titled album is SO good
I do like Rage, even if they are a bunch of stupid libs.
Right? It use to feel like they were really Raging Against the Machine and that turned into supporting the Liberal Machine lol.
Ben, we know your secret.
Yore a lib and it’s ok.
Its not a secret, five outed me.
yes they are MAJOR libs, but i don’t care. they rock hard.
I don’t worry about stuff like that.
I like David Allen Coe and it came on when I was just randomly playing shit at a BBQ.
Apparently people don’t like some of his lyrics….well one in particular.
What lyrics are those? I’ve never met someone who doesn’t like him.
Might be best if you just googled it.
Says working like a blank.
I forget it’s even in the damn lyrics sometimes.
working like a dog? how is that offensive? Is it somehow anti dog?
Google it Ben.
No, I’m just gonna start using that phrase all the time, especially when I’m in MPLS since I’m sure its a stupid lib thing to be offend by it.
no, some of my favorite bands are all libs
rage, system of a down etc…
That’s good.
The same person that got mad at my BBQ also got mad that my son would wear a St Paul swat hat that my good friend gave him. Guys on the swat team. 8 year old boys find that shit really cool. He was super pumped to get a real swat hat and patch. She’s a bitch and it pisses me off just thinking about it.
you realize mad is without and E right? 🙂
*an
oops
Looks good to me
Congrats to her, what crime syndicate is she with?
Tell the miserable cunt to go fuck herself in front of everyone and maybe she will shut the fuck up and go away
Darlin?
It’s still a reference album to this day. If you want to test out a good set of speakers that’s a go to album because it is recorded engineered, mixed and mastered to perfection.
100%
bombtrack cranked, with the bass line…yessss
well said
Band I’ve always wanted to see. Bought tickets to see them in like early Spring 2020, they kept rescheduling like 3 or 4 times all the way until March 2023, few weeks ago Zach got injured and they just finally cancelled… DAMNIT!
I saw them live at Alpine Valley in 2007. I love outdoor concerts, pretty much never go to indoor anymore. They were very good. Queens of the stone age was one of the openers, they sucked, sounded like shit, zero energy. I did actually enjoy the other opener, a band named The Coup, which surprised me because I don’t generally like soul/hip hop type music but they were really good.
Wow, surprising QOTSA was bad. Want to see them too. It’s kind of like when I saw Tool live it was a huge disappointment. No energy. I have seen Maynard in other settings and was much better. Must have just been an off night.
I saw Tool live as well and was underwhelmed, was at the Rapid City Civic Center which isn’t a great venue but they still were pretty meh.
Yeah I saw them in Sioux Falls. Didn’t help them that Meshuggah played before them and I’ve seen Meshuggah like 5 times and EVERY TIME they bring it.
Yeah, Meshuggah opened when I saw too. Not a musical style I care for.
Being a rhythm metal guitarist that likes playing with rhythms bands like Meshuggah, Gojira, Mastodon, Tool, are the tops when comes to understandings of rhythm and their rhythm vocabulary is superb.
I can’t stand bands who just yell and don’t actually sing.
Well Gojira and Mastodon do more melodic singing. I just look at Meshuggah’s singer as another percussive instrument instead of a set of vocals. Although his lyrics are great. But as a person who plays bass, guitar, drums, Vocals are the last thing I notice where as most other people because most everyone has a voice it’s the first thing they notice. So I get it. I use to hate gutteral vocals as well.
Love me some Hu
Lowest energy I’ve ever seen after paying the big bucks for a concert was Bob Dylan.
At outdoor amphitheater, could see his bus roll up, he stumbles out on stage, mumbles his way through a half-hour of songs, walks back through the curtain, gets on bus, vrooms away.
I mean, at least you get to say you saw him… but that sounds shitty lol. I’ve seen James Taylor live but it was with his whole big band and that was fun. I also got to see Billy Joel play his 100th performance at Madison Square Garden where they hung his 100th performance banner there that will hang forever. That was fucking cool. Springsteen joined him on stage and played a few of his songs as well. That was incredible. Next day went to a death metal festival in Brooklyn lol. I just love music.
I’d say half of the musicians I grew up with are now gone or can’t play/sing any more.
I’m trying to jam as many as possible in when they coincide with my schedule.
Right? I am so bummed I’ll never get to see Rush live. The one chance I had it was either go see Rush in Arizona or go see Connor McGregor win his first belt in Vegas. Chose the Connor fight which was AMAZING! No regrets but I did do it thinking I’d have more time to see Rush.
Neil Peart stands alone!
One of my favorite covers ever. Did it justice while not just being a carbon copy. Ballsy move to try this one.
Most of my favorite musicians from my youth are dead from overdose. Chris Cornell, Shannon Hoon, Andrew Wood, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Kurt Cobain, etc. Also Keith Whitley died of alcohol poising very young.
Favorite band musician of all time shot himself in the head ded, thinking his semi-auto was unloaded, but even though the mag was out there was still a round in the chamber, Terry Kath.

i saw them in minneapolis in 2008 when like 200 people got arrested haha
SUPER good.
Back when cops arrested people? That’s like when dinosaurs roamed the Twin Cities…
That was during the RNC in Minneapolis, right? Former coworker went to that concert and man did he have some stories
You making a music video with Micheal Moore on Walk Street?
13 Billion Dead After Trump Unbanned From Twitter
Nov 20, 2022 · BabylonBee.com
WORLD — Thirteen billion people have already died horrible deaths mere hours after former President Donald Trump was reinstated to Twitter.
“We should have seen this coming,” said a distraught Elon Musk, surveying the killing fields. “The liberals, they tried to warn me – but I just wouldn’t listen! Oh, curse the day that I started reading that dastardly Babylon Bee!”
Just as Democrats predicted, the entire earth descended into chaos and violence within mere seconds of Trump’s account being restored. “The barbarity unleashed by President Trump posting words on a website has literally killed every human on earth and then killed billions of them again,” said Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “I myself have already died seventeen times from Trump’s tweets. Oh no, there’s another notification from Twitter! Goodbye, cruel world!”
So, when do I get to purchase some Skolaholics swag?
Black Friday is coming….
Soon, buddy. Soon.
I’m going to sell bootleg shit on Amazon BTW
IDK, but I looked at the FOCO store. Maybe I’m just a cheapskate but I would never pay the prices they have.
The bobbleheads are spendy. I ordered a couple of ornaments & such, some of that stuff is pretty cool.
A lot of cool stuff, but like I said, I’m probably a cheapskate.
Hollywood sucks.
Michael Oher Sets the Record Straight about “The Blind Side” (mydailymagazine.com)
Yes, but still a fun movie.
This supposed to be something we didn’t already know? Full of rapists and pedophiles.
My drive this morning. Finally got an opening & passed this thing. 5mph under the limit. Are you high?
Lifer in ND?
Five, notice the bumper stickers?
lmao!
I can’t read them, too blurry.
I don’t need to. here you go
“save the whales”
“meat is murder”
“my other car is a broom”
“killary >”
“BLM”
I think I am going to buy a Subaroo and bring back my 80s bumper sticker
“Nuke the gay baby seals”
My other car is a broom HA!
I’m sure they have this dumbass one too
I can’t stand these ones
Yeah, me either, like I’m somehow going to drive different just because you managed to get knocked up?
Yup, always seems like an excuse to drive incredibly poorly.
The worst driving parents in the world have these signs…
Always staring into the back seat at 70mph for an hour making sure little snookums is ok.
Am I missing something?
Another great song. Man, this dude is awesome. Mental illness is horrible. Gone way too soon.
Luke Bell – “Sometimes” Official Video – YouTube
Going to be ded today and rest of week. Likely run errands, hit slaveway for Turkey Day food (highlight will be Rotel dip and tortilla chips), a cigar and get ready for hunting tomorrow. Kym’s B-day tomorrow, already got her a new swifter and a tater peeler.
My wife and I’s anniversary tomorrow, got her new pots and pans, might get some flowers too.
Was my wife’s anniversary on Saturday.
uhhh..
not yours too?
LOL
Shit. Birthday, not anniversary.
Anniversary of Birth lol
That makes more sense, you should let her make you a robust breakfast of eggs, steak, hashbrowns, Irish Coffee, and a fine cigar
Kiddo and I usually make breakfast. She reffed the state volleyball tourney on Saturday, though.
Kiddo and I weren’t even home, we stayed at a water park Friday night. She didn’t get home until later Saturday.
Yeah obviously I was kidding, I usually do something like that or take her out, I always get flowers, she really likes that, though I’ll never understand why women like flowers.
Same reason they like jewelry…
Jewelry lasts, flower die.
My wife doesn’t like flowers because they die. If I get her flowers they have to be roses and she will immediately hang them upside down to dry. I think she has pretty much every rose I ever bought her or at least one from each bunch. She’d rather have fishing stuff.
That was one very successful marketing campaign. “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend… “
I know you were, amigo.
I don’t understand the love for flowers, either, but oh well, she probably doesn’t understand my love of fishing, either.
Ha, that’s cool. Happy Anniversary
Thanks Pal.
You are a good pupil, 2nd to me in football knowledge. Freezey a good pupil too on world politics, scamdemic but needs football knowledge help a lot. Did your mom by chance like to hang at bars and like tall and dark handsome men?
LOL, I don’t think she did, though I couldn’t tell you what she did every other weekend when I was at my Dad’s.
Happy anniversary, man.
Saw a group of gals taking pictures at the Heritage Center on Saturday, all dressed up, getting ready for a stand-up-funeral.
Some folks calls it a wedding, I calls it a stand-up-funeral. Mmmmhmmm.
Ok, Kodiak
I see.
Old friend of mine in Mississippi calls it that, always cracked me up.
I can’t wait for Kodiak to see this
Congrats on every minute of yer marriage!
5 years tomorrow. Good times, rough times, most of the rough times since the kids came along but also even better when times are good.
I hear ya’, man. We hit 11 years in May.
Vacuum cleaner is always appreciated
Got that one a couple of anniversaries ago, she wanted a battery powered cordless one.
If you want her to stay fit, get her a Navigator, which weighs more than an elephant and she would have to work to push it around.
LOL, she is actually trying to get back to pre babies shape, might be a good purchase.
5’s peeler idea is good one
My wife’s birthday is Friday. I got her a printer, so she can print off pictures of me and put them all over her wall. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
You should just order some fatheads of yourself and cover your house like Skoldiers does with Kirk fatheads.
Thanks for the reminder. Kiddo wants a JJ fathead for Christmas. He also wants a Randy Moss jersey.
Bought my 3 y/o a Diggs jersey the other day, has silver glittery stuff on the numbers and pink border on the numbers. $3 and she doesn’t know anything other than its the jersey of the guys on the TV dad watches on Sunday so who cares if its a guy that doesn’t play here anymore. A Moss jersey would be cool though.
Moss is probably a top-10 Viking’s jersey of all time.
I still got Diggs jerseys around the house somewhere
My sister bought all our nieces and nephews AD jerseys for christmas the year he got suspended, I got a good laugh about that.
Good call. I should get some boudoir shots and fathead them up!
well done lad
This is a busy week in my tiny corner of the world.
Rob sent me a tweet of Dr. Glaucomflecken (sp?) as CEO of United Healthcare or some such, holiday greetings…was classic as it is so true. I do not tweet so have no idea how to repost it.
Run into Asshole A lately?
Asswipe A lives in Billings, 220 miles away. I doubt he would set foot in this “godforsaken” town.
I guess I meant more in the virtual world. You should kick his ass if you ever see him.
There is something seriously wrong with the guy. I’ve said it for twelve years. Several people have said he has Aspergers, I think it’s more than that, he has a lot of borderline features.
Sounds to me like he’s just an asshole, sometimes people are just assholes without being borderline or having Aspergers.
My mother is a borderline.
She’s not a nice person in any stretch, unless it’s a stranger, where she can turn on a dime, or one of her favored daughters (2 of 4)
Tater peeler is a really nice touch
Judon leads the NFL in sacks. He gets brandel.
Jamo- all pro
watson- all pro
thelen- retired in 2020
Watson is not an all pro.
I am excited to see what Jamie can do when he suits up.
Not yet, has more td’s than anybody on vikes in way less games though. we have booth
Riiiiiiiiiight
already got your see gars since I assume we beat trevor simiem in last game.
Bottom Shelf is all about value. It can’t compete with big name brands that cost over ten bucks apiece, but Bottom Shelf burns straight and tastes great when you’re pushing the lawn mower around or painting a fence. Although not a cigar you hand your future father-in-law before you pop the question, this is the perfect go-to when your pals are begging you for more handouts on poker night. A caramel-hued Indonesian wrapper cradles a tasty blend Cuban-sandwich tobaccos rolled in the Dominican Republic. Toss an ultra-cheap bundle into the coolerdor for a nutty profile with a touch of spice that satisfies without offending the senses or draining your checking account.
Hope you got mine too
on way soon
Oooo grape even.
good deal
Lol
Hope you took the 9ers like I told you too. Big Five the Greek
Skolly…. There’s your 9ers making noise
Ut oh…
Playing against Colt freaking McCoy they should win
Nice favicon, Brad.
huh, I learned something today
time to shut it all down
WTH is a favicon?
It’s what the little logo in the website tab is called.
The tab and website protocols require the use of a specialized .ico format up there instead of jpg or gif or whatever.
?
I knew that was coming, lol
I see the new horn logo as the Chrome tab icon – very cool Brad!
Looks good!
Yeah, I see that on Edge, too.
Are all my comments deleted or did they not post as it looked like they did?
I see a few.
What are you talking about?
Modern Technology is hard for boomers
Hahahhahaha
Delphi Murders preliminary hearing at 9 AM today on whether documents will remain sealed or get unsealed. Very weird case. Hope they get it sorted out and get all involved.
I don’t know why the charging documents would be sealed. Sure, if there was horrendous mutilation or something, but…
The public has a right to know the circumstances and to be able to judge for themselves whether there is any danger, under what conditions these creeps get away with crap, without relying on the ever-degrading justice system.
Yes, that seems to be a common consensus. The accused also has a right to know all of the charges, too, I think.
Some theorize they might still be trying to arrest more people involved and that is why the documents are sealed.
The family apparently wants them to remained seal, as well. Have to see what happens.
At the moment, it just seems like prosecutors picking and choosing what they want to do, like they corruptly do at the federal level.
Morning nerds

SF really sucks.
lol, I tried to tell him…
I bet heavy on SF last night. Won big once I saw Colt McCoy starting
good boy
Musk twitted out a pic of his nerds doing the Tweeter coding. No green hairs or karens in sight.
He’s well on his way to losing that 44 billion, great businessman
I doubt that.
We’ll see!
Yepper.
LOL, you sound like all the stupid libs on twitter already bitching about his stance on free speech and how he’s gonna ruin twitter, just like the ones that said they were moving to Canada if Trump got elected yet they’re still here.
lol ok
He’s already lost 25% of his investment in Twitter (not to mention the 100B blowback on Tesla prices) and decided to shut down “microservices bloatware” on a whim that disabled little things like 2FA and the ability to login (and that he’s already being selective with who is allowed ‘free speech’ on twitter)
I didn’t think stating facts would be that triggering
lmao
Some true, he’s also cut a bunch of useless slob Gen Z’s “working” from “home” in their parents basements who do jack shit but earn a bloated income diddling themselves while eating snowcones.
I mean if you actually believe that then sure, I can see why you think he’s doing a good job.
I’m not saying he’s doing a good job, to early to tell but cutting a bunch of jobs that aren’t productive makes sense.
I just think it’s crazy that me saying “great businessman” about a dude who offered to buy Twitter on a whim, then retracted, then got into a court battle, then on another whim decided to buy again at the original price after his waffling had tanked the value of the company by 15-20% and then immediately fired people and offered a 3 month severance to anyone who was left and tried to then retract that because people obviously took it got so many people riled up LOL
Kinda like this guy….
The mental gymnastics to spin that whole exchange where the guy specifically explained how the app worked and what he’d done and what he thought was slowing it down (and really, it’s not a slow app) as it being funny to fire him for “talking back publicly” when Elon is publicly being a bad boss is honestly mind boggling
what if you don’t see it like that…
try this..
Elon draws him out on his own incompetency and then filets him.
you know the issue? And haven’t fixed it? Fired.
Reality is calling.
It’s funny how many people think you can just snap your fingers and fix a complex problem for free.
But, if reducing it to “you know the issue and haven’t fixed it? fired” is sufficient I can understand where you’re coming from
Do you think Musk has no experience in this area or something?
He’s got a long history in software business, dating back to 1995.
I hope you make a ton of money off Twitter stock whenever he puts it back on the market
And that’s fine.
companies are filled with affirmative action and title IX who don’t deserve the jobs they have but have them Becuase of their color or sex.
texh companies are no excuse. It’s not just Twitter who’s going to be cutting a ton of jobs.
Another example of a small sample size being grossly extrapolated.
“filled” made me lol though
also pretty hard to read that so that it doesn’t imply that white guys are more deserving of jobs
I didn’t imply white and don’t want it twisted as such.
best person for the job no matter the “makeup” of that person.
me being qualified for one of those jobs would be a joke if I was hired solely based on how I’m “made up”
I know you didn’t, but saying people have jobs who don’t deserve them because they’re either non-white or women just kind of leads directly there. Might have been a better point made just saying plenty of people don’t deserve their jobs.
In a world with feelings.
in reality… there’s tens thousands of not 100s of thousands hired based solely on that principle.
incredibly messed up
Back in the stone age, when companies still told souls why they didn’t hire people, I was turned down for at least 25 jobs because hiring women was all the rage.
That was not a fun period in history.
Either that or people getting hired because rich daddy knows the right person, or they were never considered because they of their name or how they looked, etc etc etc
Far from the first unfair hiring practice
What is the bottom line on their financials since he took over?
Read the tweet above.
dunno what available now
Lol, it’s well-documented.
Karens with feminist and community organizing degrees banning people with doctorates because they “know science better” lol
like I said, if you believe the narrative fed to you on a platter I can see why you’d believe it
I don’t need to read, watch, or listen narrative.
I’ve seen a bazillion of the twitter tweets and personal tweets of these idiots and fools.
ok sure
Since when did reduced traffic or revenue benefit a company?
The green-hairs chose personal ideology over their own corporation, and Jacko let them do it.
Does blaming a group of people that you don’t know exist and certainly don’t actually hold that kind of power make you feel better?
Elon’s done a lot more in a couple months to reduce the company’s revenue (advertising) than a couple of people you want to believe is some NWO group.
Lol, I worked in Silicon Valley.
You think I don’t know anything, even after getting an MBA?
People see one person with colored hair and reduce anything they don’t agree with to “The green-hairs chose personal ideology over their own corporation.” Someone always claims there’s some secret NWO group that is making all the decisions to hurt whatever group they think they are a part of.
The answer is always $$$. It’s always $$$.
This convo is increasingly funny.
agreed!
Stereotypes exist because they’re generally true.
Sure, but I’m saying that just because a few such people exist it doesn’t mean they are actually in power and affecting things
Yeah the whole NWO thing is far fetched.
The NWO thing is farfetched.
Read James Michener’s historical novel about Poland to see how the elites will keep you in servitude for a thousand years if they can.
Right, and how many “green hairs” do you see in the elites?
Elites have minions everywhere.
Military industrial complex minions, political power minions, tech minions, environmental minions, etc.
Give them power, and they ban a sitting President?
All this because Trump got banned off of twitter? Holy overreaction met with an even bigger overreaction
Lot of people butthurt about Trump being allowed back on Twitter, from a business perspective it makes sense, much like for the mainstream media he drives conversation and ratings, or in the case of Twitter, site traffic and commenting.
And then he didn’t even come back lol
Yeah, I am not a Trump fan in general. Not surprised he hasn’t come back, he’s a little bitchboy who’s feewings are hurt because he got banned.
well said
Lol.
if he cut as much of the workforce that’s being reported… should help the balance sheet.
throw in the 8/month for a checkmark and he’s doing big things.
That last sentence must be sarcasm, right?
Cutting headcount works great for 1 year. Then everything breaks, particularly so with a software-based company.
From what I understand… Musks main goal is to put Twitter as the top spot for content creators. Made statements to go after what YouTube offers.
I don’t idolize the man but he knows how to make money. Even if it’s pump and dump.
Going after Substack and YouTube.
Anything can sound great in theory. Maybe it works, but it’s certainly not guaranteed.
And he’s going to need a lot of $8/month subscriptions (for what benefit again?) to cover all the advertising money they lost due specifically to his actions as CEO.
this is a big part as well.. using it for e-commerce like IG.
Old man yelling at cloud CCHOF thinks that is incredibly stupid, I don’t use social media to buy absolute crap that people are paid to sell you.
But maybe that makes them some money overall.
Alls I know is, the more advertising there is on my screen the less I am going to use it.
Hey man… I get it. I don’t buy anything from an ad.
but a lot do. Cause they are stupid and lazy
they far outnumber us though.
I don’t even use the newest version of the Twitter app. Ever since they introduced Spaces I rolled back to a version from last November.
All these stupid features they are adding in the pursuit of profit are the real bloatware.
opposite, that stock is going to go crazy
lol k hope you buy in then
He said he’d take it public again in a few years.
I’m going to buy some
Hope he takes Space-X public, too.
me too, hope prices of homes on Mars are cheaper than denver
Can’t be any more expensive, can they?
Colt McCoy
He actually does suck.
Whoooooaaa boy.
Oh man I wish that was the case here.
Getting close!
Supposed to be in the 40s this week.

Solid 5″? What women did they poll to get that response?
Lol…
I’ll be there soon!
Man, I would love to do that trip.
What’s stopping you?
you said work was slow right??
Yup, we are always slow from now until New Year. Been gone a lot
Spend some of your house earnings on an ice castle and work remote.
Man, there’s no way I’m ever dropping $30K on an ice house.
Sooon.
tempting
Get up here for the big ice fishing tourney in Devils Lake. I have a pop-up with a floor, it’ll stay 70 degrees even in the harshest conditions. Pretty sure the grand prize is a new pickup.
I always laugh at the Park Rapids ice fishing tournament.
They take a bazillion tourist dollars and throw them into the pool, so that mostly local residents can sit around for like an hour and have a shot at top-of-the-line pickups, ice castles, boats, and a thousand other prizes.
Devils Lake has a HUGE tourney every year. I’ve never been to it, but I hear it’s awesome.
My sister’s lake, Maple Lake west of the cities, has a huge tournament, thousands of ice houses, pops, etc.
Then hardly anyone catches a fish. Prizes go unclaimed.
Maybe all the fish have been carjacked and murdered?
Would be fun, jumbo perch in there too
You’ll probably be slow for a few years with where the economy is. Better ask Lifer for a job at the air compressor repair plant inflating balloons with the illiterates.
I like to suck in the helium & talk funny. Kiddo gets a kick out of it.
true dat
Saudia Arabia beats Argentina 2-1 in their opener. Huge upset. Wow….
Did you hide out yesterday?
12 hr day at the balloon factory. Levon was working me like a rented mule.
Born a pauper to a pawn…

Putting the icing on the crack, it seems.
What it the name of all that is holy were the blocking schemes Sunday??? I mean wtf is this?
https://twitter.com/lukebraunnfl/status/1594856376211079168?s=61&t=NQVbnQx6u1mxf8sTNV7bZA
Everyone was on idgaf island.
rigged game and season. We will beat cow pies in playoffs
If it’s rigged, there’s no need for Jobu…
Excellent question what that was supposed to be, it sure as hell wasn’t NFL level blocking.
Its called Ole blocking scheme
Straight from the mouth of one of the most underappreciated NFL players of all time…
Carries a little weight.
I’m glad he mentioned coaching. Vikings came out and did not look ready to play, and the play calling wasn’t the best.
We’ve repeated it ad nauseam, but why weren’t they running the ball more? Had success with the running game.
Establish the run to set up the pass.
The friggin pass hardly ever got out of The Big Turkey’s hands, so it was a big phat phail.
That should have been the plan. Instead they tried to force passing game and almost got Kirk murderdeathkilled. Phat phail in all and any phases indeed.
But, as ugly it was, it only counts as 1 loss, as has been mentioned. On to the Pats, with a much better game plan, hopefully.
We’ll see if Belichuck is over the hill or just rope-a-doping everyone into thinking he’s a goner.
I think if we run the ball… we’ll do better than whatever the fuck it was we tried to do Sunday Afternoon.
isnt that what Reagor excels at? 5-7 yard slants?
I don’t remember Kirk ever being the king of the short timing route slants, but I might be rong.
No, he excels at end, guard and tackle. He sat at the end of the bench, guarded the water bucket and tackled anybody who came near it.
I’d rather watch Reacher than Reagor
They’ll be missing their young DT, Vikings w/o Darrisaw though. Depends on the game plan, earlier in the game the Vikings got into 3rd downs that weren’t obvious passing downs but still called long developing pass plays. KOC dumb, we’ll see if he gets less dumber.
he’s been out 6 weeks, they are pretty healthy on D
They just lost Barmore to IR
Patriots’ DT Christian Barmore has been battling knee inflammation for weeks
Right and now he’s on IR.
come back for the playoff push.
No shit, we can all read the tweet, well except for Can’t Read Good wherever he is.
I read that as knee inflation. Weird.
Same thing…
Sucks for NE
I could send him an email, he’s a good dude. Another lefty, but hey, it’s good to have lively conversations ’round here.
I always liked him, wonder if he ever got out of that cesspool NYC?
I wonder if he ever found a gal pal
Never underestimate the Dark Lord of NFL coaches. Hope KOC will have an idea or 53 how to beat the coach that drafted him.
Yeah, hope it doesn’t end up being Dark Lord vs Jar Jar Binks again…
LOL, indeed.
Belichick is still Belichick. They’re defense is legit but the offense is very inconsistent with a young QB. They’re trying to keep things as simple as possible for Jones, like they did during the very early years of GOAT. Their oline is beat up and they lack playmakers at WR. They’re winning ugly right now but the Vikings defense isn’t particularly good. We’ll see what happens Sunday, could be a long day if Big Dalvin is out as the run D has been not good w/o him.
Guess we’ll know on Thursday already 🙂
sadly, you are what the scoreboard says you are. Looks bleak and teams will copy this plan
As long as the Vikings aren’t copying that plan… they should be good.
I watched Jets vs Pats as I had $ on Pats. That D is super. Their offense just sputtered but moved the ball. Jets D is top 5 too though, very good.
We’ve always known Kirk goes full Beaker against a team that can produce great pressure.
“Great pressure” might even be an understatement in this case… it was more like “insane pressure”.

Good morning Mick
I say, fuck you jobu. I do it myself.
That’s what bRad said to Jobu Sunday and you see how well it worked for the team.
No, I just stopped the trolling. Glad I did.
I do not understand why you think me cheering for the team is trolling. That’s all I was doing. I was not trying to
troll anyone. I was cheering for
us to stay lucky and
keep winning. It
was not intended as anything other than that.
Someone stole Jobu’s rum.
Hey, welcome!
