On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the daily back page, which is wide open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!

Da Bears Game

Another day removed from that s*** show on Sunday, we now look ahead to Chicago. The Vikings play a fairly meaningless game on Sunday, as the Bears are obviously long out of it, and the Vikings are all but guaranteed the #3 seed. There is a very remote chance that they sneak into the #2 spot, but that would require the 49ers to lose to the Cardinals at home. Yeah, not happening. Because of this, I expect that we won’t see the Vikings starters on the field for very long on Sunday.

Being in this position, especially now with the sudden need for replacements at O-line, is advantageous for the Vikings. They have an opportunity to either give reps to the backup or to the new guy, if they go that route to replace O’Neill or Schlottman (Bradbury). The play calling could use some improvement as well, so let’s hope they’re able to use this week to implement at least a semblance of a balanced offense.

NFL Playoffs

I’m still a bit perplexed as to what the NFL plans to do with the playoffs and the unfinished game between the Bills and Bengals. If the Bills do indeed defeat the Patriots on Sunday, then the #1 seed hinges on the result of the Bills-Bengals game, and they must play the game, in my opinion. If they were going to play the game, yestereday or today were the most logical options, but the NFL has already said that the game WILL NOT be played this week. I’m not sure what their plan is here.

Minnesota Vikings News:

Skoldiers posted the Week 17 Vikings @ Packers Report Card.

Have a Vikings-related question? Ask Rob at the Skoloholics Mailbag.

I do my best to decipher what happened on Sunday and where we go from here.

From the Pioneer Press, the Vikings are seeking to build momentum on Sunday. Okay, so I agree with this. I said earlier that the Vikings had nothing to play for, but that’s not exactly right. They do need to establish some good momentum heading into the playoffs. I’d hate to see the Vikings limp into the playoffs coming off of another performance like we saw last Sunday.

Video of the Day:

Here’s a great song by Billy Strings and Luke Combs called The Great Divide, it kinda fits into a conversation from yesterday. Enjoy!

Touchy subject (and tl;dr) but…

First and foremost, I hope and pray that Damar Hamlin recovers, and that his family/friends continue to find comfort and support. Tough deal and hate that it happened.

That said, as time continues to pass without clarity in terms of NFL impact/plans regarding the suspended game, it’s hard not to want to put this in perspective.

I did a a little “Google Research” and came across an article published by Industry Safety & Hygiene News that is a trade resource for many industries (e.g. construction, oil & gas, etc). They did a report entitled ‘Top Most Dangerous Jobs in the US’ that relied on 2018 data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine which “top 25” careers had the highest on-the-job fatality rate based on deaths per 100,000 workers annually.

Obviously, everyone hopes Hamlin doesn’t die. But, his situation and the NFL’s response got me curious about how the NFL might compare to other types of jobs in terms of on-the-job fatality rates. It’s hard to do an “apples-to-apples” comparison because roster size in the NFL varies based on off-season/in-season and, over time, the number of teams in the league has changed. So, to keep things simple, I decided to just look at the in-season stats (i.e. 53-man roster) since 2002, which is when the NFL expanded to 32 teams.

In that 21-year period, there have been 35,616 “rostered players” in regular season games (32 teams x 53 players x 21 years). If you do the math, if a player were to die during that period, that would equate to a NFL average annual fatality rate of 2.81 deaths per 100,000 “workers”. This would put the NFL well below other occupations such as logging workers (#1 on the list with 111 deaths per 100,000 workers), fire fighters, crossing guards, police officers and mining machine operators (#25 on the list with 11 deaths per 100,000).

I’m not trying to diminish the significance of Hamlin’s situation. I’m also not trying to marginalize the inherent dangers of playing in the NFL (as they say, there’s a 100% injury rate over the course of an NFL career). But, at some point, it seems that some perspective is needed.

There’s been one “on-field death” in NFL history, which was in 1971 and there was likely an extenuating medical condition, based on autopsy, that contributed (BTW…for those that may be wondering…they finished the game after he was carted off the field). So, if you were to do this same analysis going back over the years, the risk of “on-the-job” fatality would be even lower. That said, my “analysis” doesn’t consider tragedies like Corey Springer, who died in the preseason due to heat stroke caused during practice (although roster size is also bigger that time of year, which would increase the ‘denominator’ in this math exercise if this was included). It also doesn’t consider the impact of lingering “injuries” such as CTE that may have contributed to problems later in life, like Junior Seau who took his own life.

Overall, the statistics would seem to suggest it’s time to get back to work.

You could extrapolate from what little data OSHA has, but that would include all employees, not just players. The Saints actually reported to OSHA in 2020 at least (I’m not looking up all of them). They reported an annual average number of employees of 391, total recordable injuries of 231, and total hours worked of 296800. That works out to a DART/TRI number of 155.7 ( a number that OSHA uses to compare businesses to others in similar industries). For comparison here are some other DART rates (higher=worser):

Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting  5.3
Transportation and warehousing 4.5
Arts, entertainment, and recreation  4.1
Health care and social assistance 3.9
Retail trade 3.5
Manufacturing 3.4
Accommodation and food services 3.1
Construction 3.0
Wholesale trade 2.9
Administrative and waste services 2.3
Real estate and rental and leasing 2.3
Other services (except public administration) 2.2
Educational services 1.9
Utilities 1.9
Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction  1.4
Information 1.3
Management of companies and enterprises 0.8
Professional and technical services 0.8
Finance and insurance 0.5

I’m not sure this even relates to your summary, but I went down the rabbit hole and wasn’t going to just delete it.

I would argue that there are actually significantly fewer than 35,616 players over that 21 year period, as the average career of an NFL player is 3.3 years. You don’t have a new 53 players every year.

Armed with that insight and a flair for inventing new math, I would argue that you only have a new 53 players every 3.3 years, which would compute to 10,854 players over that 21 year span. (21 years / 3.3 = 6.4 years –> 53 players x 32 teams x 6.4 years = 10,854 players)

So the actual number of NFL deaths per 100,000 workers would be higher, at 9.21 deaths.

My numbers also do not take into consideration the 90-man roster or PS players.

The numbers are based on “workers” per year. My analysis is correct. Doesn’t matter if it’s the same workers or different workers. A worker is a worker.

And BTW…if you expand the definition to included practice squad or off-season rosters, it further supports my point. Not to mention, I only used 21 years for my analysis when in the entirety of its history, only one player has died on the field in an NFL game.

I think I’d lean towards get a couple of good drives to think about while prepping for round 1 and then sit em. I wouldn’t want the players thinking about that failure of a game for 2 weeks. And even if it worked for Zim once, I don’t know if that would make me feel any better about doing something the way Zim did.

How awesome, a baby changes everything. First borns run a week to ten days late in my family. Just a heads up, skip the “newborn” size or at most a couple. Some babies never fit into that and if they do they outgrow it before a month. It’s OK if outfit is slightly big, won’t be for long.

How is the actual tie breaker rule written? Is it total wins or win percentage? If it’s win percentage, then just cancel the game, it doesn’t count and the Bills/Bengals end up only playing 16 games this year. It was a conference game but at least not a divisional game.

That’s one thing I’ve always struggled with, the doses of different meds. I always wonder how the old timers did it – just smarter than me or did they only prescribe certain meds? Did they step out and crack open a PDR when they grabbed the prescription pad?

For me, I get a call about a patient with nausea in the recovery area…umm can you give them some granisetron…(IV or oral?)…oral if they can tolerate…what dose?…just a sec (looking it up on micromedix, google, or the online order portal of the EMR)…5 mg? Does 5 mg work?

FWIW I do know the appropriate doses of the two drugs that I administer most, which are the two most frequently medications administered IV in a hospital, namely iodinated and gadolinium based contrast agents.

That Carlson/Packers thing was all Zimmer’s fault. Kicker clearly had the yips, our new $84-million man had the Packers on their heels with his arm, and we get into the redzone, and Zimmer goes turtle and decides to use his yippy kicker instead of letting his $84 million man, who was killing it, finish the game with a TD.

I have come to the conclusion “Zimrod” is a good nickname for Zimmer.

It is based of “nimrod,” because he did silly things at times, and “the rod” portion addresses his tough-guy approach, which I started to not buy as time went on. It’s like being “tough” was a defense mechanism for areas lacking.

These dirty worthless politicians have passed the buck generation to generation not willing to take the concrete steps necessary to solve the problem where it starts, in these lawless countries filled with gangs and corrupt governments terrifying their populations and causing these mass migrations. We cannot just wall off our country and act like that is a solution, it’s not it’s a bandaid on an open artery.

Our great nation was founded on immigrants and their rights to freedom and a better life away from the persecution’s from corrupt leaders and kings. All of our ancestors come from that, Mary and Joseph, Christ’s parents were immigrants fleeing the exact situation these immigrants today are fleeing from. Are we not Patriots, Christians or is it only when it serves us or our beliefs personally?

I reject your hypothesis that “both parties” are to blame. Biden has instituted an open border policy practically inviting people in..hence the millions and millions of illegals that arrived last year. Absolutely unprecedented.

I reject your hypothesis that the only way to fix the problem is to fix the poor, shit ass countries. I think we should, and have been trying to help them, but you don’t just leave the southern border open because there is poverty in the world.

We are the only developed country with essentially an open border.

How racist and against the very founding principles of the USA! Why, did they insist people arriving from the old world undergo a health exam at Ellis Island? Of course not! I’m so happy our politicians have decided to lift all those pesky and racist policies.

Gee, a surge of measles in a county in Ohio, that happens to be a destination for many arrivals from Somalia – and Somalia happens to have an outbreak of endemic measles. Oh well, it’ll mostly affect the unvaccinated including children under the age of 1, so not a big issue.

Manning’s last SB and Brady’s Bucs coming back from 28 down in the SB were the final 2 that did it for me.

I even sent a message during the Brady comeback that if they came back it was official, the NFL is rigged. We just need to come up with a good narrative to make the Vikings the most compelling team to win the SB. Look at the last 2 years even. Were the Bucs and Rams really the best teams?

Good morning Mick

Based on the last game, The P did F us in a big way… on national TV of course, because that´s what the Vikings do.

Nevertheless, SKOL!

Gone fishin'

I'm a dad, husband, Army vet, believer, and a die-hard, life-long Vikings fan from the great state of North Dakota. I've been a Viking fan dating back to 1980, I've been covering the Vikings for nearly a decade, and I founded Skoloholics in 2022. I work in real estate and property management, I love spending time with family, working in the yard, doing anything in the outdoors, and as you can tell from my username, I love fishing. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!
