Minnesota Vikings News:

The Vikings reportedly attempted to sign RB David Montgomery earlier this off-season, according to SI.com. This seems to support the theory that the Vikings are planning to move on from Dalvin Cook.

ESPN looks at why the future remains unclear for Za’Darius Smith and Dalvin Cook.

Here’s a great tune from Stone Temple Pilots, this is Meatplow. Enjoy!

I mean…Mayer on this offense with Hockenson, Oliver and JJ and KJ would be pretty sick. Mayer is one of the best TE prospects to come out in a long long time. Real good blocker and just elite at catching the ball. Our run blocking in 12 personnel would be amazing. Think about it.

Trump: “If They’ll come for me, they’ll come for you. I am all that is standing in the way of them coming for you.

Yes because all of you have slept with Porn Stars and paid them off with hush money from campaign donations. You’ve also tried to overturn election results in Georgia and obstructed justice with classified documents.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to support this clown. If you still do send him your money please he needs it to keep the stupid people wrapped in fear.

it’s always been the haves and have nots and this is the haves fighting over having it all for themselves.

Trump is a horrible human and a con man criminal from day one. He’s used the court systems to screw good hard working people over for decades. Any person, outside of NVF who’s probably frantically rushing to Mar-a-Lago to see him speak, that has dealt with this charlatan always gets used and thrown on the pile of bones of his victims. He needs either put in prison or stood in front of a brick wall and shot. He’s ruined a lot of peoples lives.

The fact that anyone can’t see Trump for who he is is ridiculous. I voted for the guy in 2016 knowing he was a already a criminal at that time (look up his business history…if you’re not a self made millionaire you should by all rights hate him because he hates blue collar workers) hoping he’d be smart enough to surround himself with advisors that knew their ass from a hole in the ground that he’d listen to. You can thank Hillary for that voting mistake by me.

He ultimately got rid of everyone that wasn’t family and created more division in this country than any president in history.

He’s evil. If you can’t see that, God Bless.

I traveled a lot to Europe when Obama was president and I never sensed that. You’d know better than I but Obama, unlike Trump, wasn’t a racist, IMO: If anything, he just offended racist whites because of his skin color:

To be clear, I’m not an Obama guy although I did vote for him in his 2nd term when McCain was stupid enough to bring on Sarah Palin as his running mate. But he didn’t inspire race hate like Trump. It surprises me to hear your Euro experience suggests otherwise.

Not saying you’re wrong…I just used to take all kinds of shit from my Euro friends for voting for Bush (twice), and Trump is way more fucked up and dangerous than Bush ever was.

This is ridiculous, another statement completely void of reality and historical context. I won’t let you use the”eyeing from across the pond” excuse because that’s just built in when you’re proven wrong.

With Obama there was literally no drama at all over 8 yrs, the ONLY division Obama created was with his skin color. The white racist grievance crowd couldn’t and still can’t handle there’s been a black president.

With Trump it was literally a bombshell report every night of something he did, said, accused of, accused, political or legal norm he broke. Literally every night some BS this pos did. There is not even a comparison between the two who created more division.

Above, I expressed my views against Trump. Here’s where I balance things out by saying Biden is a clown. He’s incompetent and has the worst VP in history.

Bottom line: forget partisan politics. The people who run for office have all sucked since Reagan. It’s a sad satiate of affairs because no one that’s worthy of the office wants to fill it. They’d rather cash out in the private sector.

I’d say he should be paid in the top 10 percentile of the best DE currently. That would be if you look at the range of the top ten DE currently they range $16 mill a year for #10 (Ogbah) up to $25 mill a year for #1 (Garrett). These contract lengths and guarantees are 5 yr $100 mill (Garrett) to 4 yr $32mill (Ogbah).

I would assume Hunter is somewhere on this spectrum. If you cut it in the middle it would be a 4-5 yr $65 mill guarantee range. Sounds about right.

Id do that for like a two year rental of MAC (and a 3rd or 4th round pick, even futures). Mac can start in 2023, we would win 1-3 less games than we would with Kirk which isnt much of a difference between 6 wins and 9 wins. Draft rookie, and he can still sit and chill.

When Belichek made a DC and STC the co-OCs nothing made any sense so in an attempt to grow and get better Jones got help from somebody outside the Patriots organization. Bill is pissed because Mac should have let the non-offensive coaches teach him how to play QB, not somebody who actually knew what they were doing.

Every team has injuries. Its the teams job to bring in depth and bench pieces to account for those. They did an AWFUL job of that last year. So far, I like the depth they added this year. Buxton WILL be hurt again, Maeda probably wont make it a full season. Hopefully Polanco comes back healthy and stays that way as well as Kirloff.

Kind of. Kirk gets more power but they could easily say no still. However, they’d have to draft a QB very early and they would likely have to start. Unless they want a bridge QB cheap in 2024 and let the rookie sit.

Problem is Kirk has a 28M hit so a bridge QB with that you might as well work something out with Kirk for 1 year

Honest question for the conservative/Patriotic minded on this thread.

Why not support a guy who is conservative, a proven leader, and NOT a Narcissistic ass?

That would make sense to me, the vast majority of rebublicans outside of florida know very little about Desantis or his policies but are very aware of Trump’s. I don’t know shit about Ron other than the people in Florida seem to like him and he won re-election in a landslide, surprisingly crushing his opponent when it came to latino voters. I do not know who from the Republican party will run or not, but outside of Trump people are generally unfamiliar with potential candidates until the primaries actually start.

The corrupt RINOs and establishment elites are backing DeSantis, throwing lots of money his way, and meeting with him behind the scenes, meaning he would be beholden to them if he were to win . They also promised him Trump would be indicted on something to convince him to run. That is why the polls supporting DeSantis have collapsed, and there is no way he would win.

Yesterday I learned about quantum entanglement, not because I’m smart but because it came up on Youtube in between funny cat videos.

Theoretically, if you split an atom, you could manipulate one half, and even if the other half was light years away, the other half of the atom would mirror what you do to your half instantly.

Practical applications are maybe communications. You could have one half of the atom and your partner could have the other half, and you could communicate real-time with no one able to listen in or intercept the message. It’s basically like two tin cans with a string, but the string is invisible and limitless.

Mind-boggling, really. Humans think they are pretty smart, but the intricacies of time and space are quite unnerving in scope. We are just scratching surfaces.

Not as cool as cat videos, though…

Cousins has made dozens and dozens of great plays in tough situations in his career. He’s the reason the Vikings had a chance last year. Basically it was Cousins, JJ, and Hock. KJ too to an extent, but three guys were the one part of the team that kept us in games. You act like Cousins crumbles under pressure, etc. He doesn’t. His line, our defense, the kicker, yes. They crumble repeatedly under pressure. Cousins hangs in there, takes big hits, and delivers the ball.
