Minnesota Vikings News:
From NFL.com, CeeDee Lamb thinksΒ the Cowboys need to add more weapons for Dak if theyβre going to do anything in the playoffs. If one of those weapons is a weapon to help him throw to the correct team, Lamb may be onto something. Also,Β Josh Jacobs wants to be with the Raiders long-term.
The Superb Owl is on Sunday, I’ll probably watch just to jeer the Eagles.
Video of the Day:
More Uncle Rob explosions!
Iβm sure the penalty against the poopeaters will be talked about all off-season
The Eagles defender grabbed the hip and jersey turning the WR
It was a penalty
Will they talk about the fumbled reception that was returned for a TD that was then ruled incomplete?
They should… that was an interesting call.
Chiefs win!!!
Thatβs icky.
id take it for a Vikings win though.
Suck it Eagles!
Is it bad of me to hope that the rioters in Philly burn that pile of crap down?
Sweet kick
Mahomes runs better on one leg than Kirk on two.
Boo!
Bring on the USFL&XFL
Looking good for the Chefs now. Finish the poop eaters!!!
^^THIS^^
Hell yeah!
TONEY FOR MVP
Fuck yeah!
This is setting up as a very good 4th quarter
It is now !!
@Mahomes is toast and sucks@
@bum, cut him@
Iβd trade kirk for Mahomes and his giant cap hit.
I donβt like the eagles.
but thatβs a catch and a fumble
And that is not a catch.
That is not a catch
FTE
I didnβt think that was a catch
FTE
Hey the only current Viking ever to be winning at the SB.
This halftime show is absolutely disgusting and I hope there arenβt kids watching this Whore grab her crotch and ass asking a boy if heβs big enough. WTF.
I didn’t watch it. I’m glad I didn’t.
I liked it
You were so outraged you had to watch all of it?
Mahomes ankle effed. Game over
With that Eagles should win by 14+. Would be 20+ if not for a dumbass Samoan right guard who continually false starts in big games fucked up a perfectly good 4&1 and Hurts stops eating buttered popcorn in the huddle to bumble the ball in to the hands of the defense for an easy score.
WooHoo π₯³
Letβs goooooo
CANT FUMBLE TDS IN THE SB ROB!!
HURTS CAN!!
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
WERE 2000 MILES APART
GOOD POINT
Canβt miss kicks in SBs and except to win
^^^^Skolly gramaaahhhhh.
i got a lot of money on bets today haha
All winnings of course π
Do you expect or except to win!
lololol
Damnit, doinked it
LOL
TD KELCE!
MVP
MVP
MVP
MVP
Wonder what itβs like to watch your team in the Super Bowl.
Itβs awesome for 1 quarter.
After that, it sucks.
FTE!!!
Right in their birdhole!
With extreme prejudice!
Everyoneβs picking the eagles. Wooof
I gave a guy at the ballon factory KC and 12.5 points for $20 bucks and Iβll win easily.
I like it.
Sirianni looks like like a shitbag douche.
Yeah, he comes off as a douch.
Like the guy youβd see shitfaced at 10am on a Sunday at a bar.
Lol Carr
Heβll get more money as a FA
And some GTD money if they cut him too. Weβll played
Carr is a good QB but is he really going to be in demand? He’s played in 142 games and put up 217 TD’s. That’s decent, but Cousins has thrown 45 more TD’s in the same number of games (and 6 of those games were in relief of RGIII late in the game).
Carr sucks. I pray Rodgers goes to the Raiders and my keeper in fantasy will be Adams and I will have my revenge on cheating whore Benβ¦.
Farve 2.0
They have the cap space and a good team but do have a QB need
PP resign?
https://twitter.com/p2/status/1624811095746809856?s=46&t=UUasTOkvWevR4zPOkFnKtA
Dunno what that means
Ya idk kinda weird though
is that re-sign or resignation?
Hope the football gods (and the league) will favor the Chefs tonight, FTPE!
I find myself struggling to care at this point.
I feel I am more of a Viking fan than an NFL fan.
Maybe I am not following their script well enough?
IΒ΄ll have the game on as background noise, but I wonΒ΄t be paying much attention. First and foremost a Vikings fan as well.
Ah, but the Owl is just a great excuse to eat too much food and drink too much booze…
HUN do you have NFL fans you get together with to watch football?
I usually watch at home with my girlfriend during the regular season, there would be SB parties though that we could attend. DidnΒ΄t consider it this year because IΒ΄m pretty indifferent about this game.
Wanna SB ringβ¦..leave the Vikings. A historical truth that stands the test of time.
This is mostly for the Ghoul continuing to be a troll
He aint wrong brahβ¦
These cheating fucksβ¦..beat the shit out of myself on the course playing the ball as it lies and these cheating fucks bend the rules to what they want. I wonβt cheat myself fuck them.
I wouldnβt call it cheating.
The rules official decides the call.
The pros definitely have easier rules.
One rule I have abandoned is the βlost ball ruleβ in the rough/fairway. If I canβt find my ball when Iβm sure itβs in the fairway or rough I donβt take a penalty stroke. Woods or water I take the penalty. The pros almost never lose the ball, ever, because they have spotters finding their ball for them. Totally unfair for the amateur.
Im with you though, play it where it lies.
Exactly…especially important in the fall of the year with all the leaves laying around…the Pros don’t have to mess with that either.
I play a handful of times with a couple of guys every year, and they always set their ball up on the grass and take a few mulligans every round, then claim they beat me. I just chuckle.
I always add 5 strokes to what they claim they shot.
I play with some guys who constantly forget to count the “pick-it-up” stroke…I don’t know if its on purpose but I will be like “no thats a 7, 6 strokes plus the pick up”
LOLβ¦
Yep.
I’ve always said “you pays your money, you plays your game”. Doesn’t bother me at all if guys take mulligans, give themselves 5 foot putts or whatever. No skin off my back. The only caveat to that is if it’s a money game. Then we have to be more serious.
FTE!!
Go Chiefs!
Will I live long enough to see the Vikes win a SB? Confidence is low.
Wonβt be next season
Or any season with Kirk. For any team
GLOOM!
DOOM!
Boom
Shroom
There is beautiful sunshine, a couple of blue jays flitting about outside my window, there will be a little snow melt today and I don’t care about the Super Bowl.
Life is good.
Skol chiefs
Puke willing to trade Rodgers if he wants out
Two days Iβll look most forward to in my future.β¦.
I’ll agree with you about Aaron,
But I will replace Trump with Brandon.
Theyβll both be dead soon enough anyway and a new generation of lying fucks will replace them.
Hope they take Polosi with them.
Oh sheβs not far behind them.
You guys see anything on this derailment in Ohio?
No bueno
That happened last week? Yeah itβs a shit show. Trains still the safest way to transport but the infrastructure and equipment has to be maintained and the railroads have one of the strongest lobby groups in the country so back to politics and trump sucks and stupid libs and just go kill yourself.
Itβs not good when they start arresting reporters for you knowβ¦.reporting.
I haven’t seen it on FOX News yet…so it didn’t happen.
I didnβt want to post this earlier.
itβs a bad situation all around.
Yeah when you let corps run with impunity and skirt safety standards and put the public at risk in the name of profits this is what you get. They simply donβt care if you die their profits are more important.
Whereβs the gubmint?
there isnβt a peep from them on this.
Yet they can break down an oil spill into a shitswamp into pints, to make the number bigger for outrage. Totally silent on his one.
The government?? Theyβre bought an paid for by the lobbyists like the ones from the railroad that got the safety standards and inspections reduced to nothing to save the industry billions. Now they can ship extremely dangerous/ hazardous chemicals right through the middle of towns and cities and farms.
Youβre not going to hear shit from the government except the progressives who have been calling for stricter standards for DECADES.
LOL
ok.
π€
Wellβ¦. Guess theyβre never gonna win the Super Bowl. Alienz iz huuurrrrr
Then we signed him in 2011. We wonder was this poverty franchise has never won a SB.
https://twitter.com/treblaw/status/1624251328259129344?s=61&t=1GvJofVF32RJFg1ZEhxHrA
theyre going to frustrate us this off-season.
hope Iβm wrong like Flores coming hereβ¦ but I donβt have anything to believe theyβll do otherwise.
If theyβre aggressive, purge some vets and salary and get Flores some day 3 picks to work with and let him select some key FAβs we have a chance to turn this around. If they keep a bunch of these old guys around then yeah weβll be frustrated.
I feel like frustration is on the menu.
what if Rick took Hurts instead of Gladney?
Oooof
Howie Roseman with Rick in the 2020 draftβ¦.
they did draft Reagor ahead of us and we got JJ fwiw
Trueβ¦..proves teams mostly stay to their script of building the roster they want. We didnβt need a QB, Gladney was a good pick at the time, as usual it all turns to shit for us and roses for Philly.
Nah I know Iβm just saying Hurts got dogged in the draft and they still had Wentz and foles.
cant get em all right
I agree. Howie hedged his bets planned ahead he got it absolutely right.
Maybe thatβs why KAM should draft hooker.
maybe so.
I think theyβll be slot of restructured and only a couple key cuts.
Well, weβre fucked then
Maybe it was scheme and not players. I think this year will be the answer to that question
Ahβ¦.to be young and still hopeful. Life will teach you Skolly that the answers are usually the most obvious choice. Sure the coach was bad but good players can also make up for bad coaching as well. We have old highly paid players who clearly on tape have lost a step. Itβs the players and the coach. Want to fix the issueβ¦how about get rid of both potential reasons to ensure you address the root causes instead of guessing it was this one and taking the chance itβs incorrect and losing another year building on the fix. Look at the history hereβ¦.weβre on a 5th βrun it back againβ episode. Itβs time, move on.
I hope not. Theyβve run it back for a few years now.
cook/hunter only ones with a trade value.
doubt hunter players under his current deal. Itβs like 5.5m cash this year which is robbery on the Vikings part.
im looking to the future to win than wkth this current group of vets.
Correct
Smith
Hunter
Kendricks
Cook (they wonβt but should)
Peterson
Tomlinson
Thielen
Release them all before FA. None have trade value teams will just wait for us to let them go.
Hunter does.
cook might.
thatβs about it.
Tomlinson and PP are already gone.
No actually both Tomlinson and PP are not gone. Rumors donβt count.
Yes.
PP signed a 1 year deal last season.
Tomlinsons deal voided.
neither are on the team anymore without a new deal.
π
Until the team announces theyβre not resigning or they sign elsewhere Iβll count them still in the fold.

I feel really meh about the game tomorrow. I’m pretty sure I will have it on, but I’m not sure how much I will pay attention to it.
Thatβs where Iβm at.
not interested.
at all.
Same. Usually my daughter and fam come for the 1st half (kids bedtime), I was actually relieved when she said they weren’t coming this year.
My oldest wants to watch so she can talk about it at school on Monday..
it does nothing for me though.
commercials sucks
halftime sucks
cut em
Iβm going to make some bets with some friends to have some reason to watch. Iβm going to offer KC and 12.5 points see if I get any takers.
Commercials are normally better than the game.
I will watch, since I can see two talented QBs play, and root for not the Eagles.
Waste Management final round will be interesting today. I hope Rahm can catch and pass sausage nose Sheffler. Canβt stand that motherfuck, but dude can swing a long ironβ¦son of a bitch.
that 16th hole is fun to watch. That is my pregame viewing for sure.
Go Chefs!
Iβm watching, weβre having burgers and sausage on the grill with broccoli and mushrooms with garlic
Sounds good. WeΒ΄ll have home made pizza with a cheese filled crust, should be awesome. DonΒ΄t think IΒ΄ll pay too much attention to the game.
Watching. Eating out for a family thing for lunch, so dinner will be beer while watching the game.
Go Chefs!
Agreed, I’m taking the kiddos fishing. Zero desire to watch this game.
How can this site be this dead before SB?
Wellβ¦.Kodiak would have a fine retort for you something about so many years and countingβ¦
The i told you so is a bit redundant when obvious.
Very true.
45 degrees out up here. Spent all day at the sledding hill.
church this evening and family overβ¦
priorities fella
Young bucks, been there, done that.
Yupβ¦.not that I donβt like kids but donβt want kids. Ever.
$$$$, amongst other things. Tough damn world now, glad i paid my dues.
I am glad my kids are off the paywall, but having children is still the best thing I have ever done and the only useful contribution I made to this world. They both turned out to be decent humans.
I am still shocked and confused by that.
Kids are pretty resilient even when raised in bad environments but clearly you did a good job raising them. Much of it is just the human, some can be raised in good homes and turnout to be flat assholes and some in terrible homes and turnout to be amazing people. Iβm just not willing to take those chances and theres enough people on this planet already I donβt give a fuck about passing on my lineage to the future. The future is fucked on this planet for humans that is 100% guaranteed. Only question is when.
When the Vikings make a Super Bowl again. That will signal the end.
Iβm pretty resolute that Iβll never see the Vikings win a championship in my lifetime.
Kudos to you Surly for raising decent humans…too many fail at that and I am not sure why…is it the ingredients or is it that parenting…Generally I find that good parents have good kids…but not always…Sometimes good parents have bad kids…hardly ever see bad parents with good kids.
You calm down, ain’t nothing for me to steal a mans chickens.
Played a round of golf today for the first time in a month. Shot a 91 which was pretty solid in semi cold air. Shot a 44 on the front side and a 47 on the back. Oddly had the strangest back 9 Iβve ever had. Over nine holes had 5 doubles, 3 pars and 1 bogey. It was the weirdest mix of amazingly great and awful shots. Short game was on all day. Normally that many doubles is easily a over 100 score. Real close to taking the next step to better scores. Drives and second shots are what I need to fix. For the first round of the new season pretty pumped to have played that well.
Hack.
Not on this course in sub 50 degree weather. You wouldnβt break 110.
I average 300+ off the block. Can hit fades and draws at will.
Soβ¦Iβve averaged 2.1 putts per rd over the last year and averaged up and down with my wedges 70%. So that beats long drives all day.
I lied. Give me a pick tomorrow Lifer.
Unfortunately Eagles by two tdβs or more.
Yeah, think poopeaters do it. Their D and Hurts.
Jealous. Cold and snowy here still
Youβll be out there soon enoughβ¦maybe. πΌπΆ
Skolly is used up, wondering what the hell i get myself into.
Lol
That is cool.
Wife and I are going to get a season pass again, to the same course as last year.
91 was my best round. Sounds like you are playing now the way I am hoping to play by years end.
Yeah my goal is to break 85 on this course by years end and it is a super narrow, hard angles, difficult lies course with tough putting greens, theyβre pitched and slow which is very very difficult. Shooting <85 is easily breaking 80 on most average courses. I was very close to shoot less than 85 yesterday with the first rd of the year but had 5 holes on the back side I got doubles on. Had 3 pars on that side so easily could have shot a low 80βs score. Just topped some second shots, hit one bad drive. It was right there in front of me. Iβll get it this year eventually.
As long as you enjoy yourself let the score happen. Golf is a game, and should be fun. It’s a social event. Swing freely and unencumbered. Let go and laugh heartily.
Absolutely. Played really well just had a string of poor shots on the back side but hit way more great shots. Felt much more in control. Looking forward to taking a big step forward this season.
Sounds good. Met some friends of my sister’s at dinner last night. They brought their 14 year old daughter with them and she was quite shy being surrounded by a bunch of adults. Then I mentioned I lived on a golf course and she lit up like a Christmas tree. Turns out she’s very into golf and has had instruction for 3 years. Started showing me video of her golf swing and I groaned. No way I could achieve her finish position. I’d lose my spleen. Gorgeous swing. She and I jabbered away most of the night.
Cool
Lots of SB chatter.
Mother Nature is the only religion
Fucking Wicken.
Guess burning at the stake is in order if you donβt believe in fairies and magical deities.
I don’t believe in burning at the stake…would never persecute someone for not having my religious beliefs…my post was meant in gest.
Is it time to get up yet? Apparently since thereβs a thread up now.
@no@
Thanks Rob!
