Happy Thursday folks…the week is winding down quickly and guess what…the wait for the NFL offseason to end has come to past, we have NFL football tonight. The HOF game in flyover..excuse me…Canton, OH. The New, New York Jets with douche pickle who will not play but will be 80% of the conversation tonight face the Cleveland “we don’t care what he did” Browns. Hey….it’s better than watching the Batchelor unless your MT.

About The Author
This is a nail biter. And Josh Allen (Verizon commercial) needs a haircut.
You’re getting old
I am old. But, seriously, Allen looked like he was taking his first grade picture after his mom cut his hair.
DTR has eyes in the back of his head
Just happened….once is an occurrence, 4 times is a trend….this kid is going to be a gamer….
He keeps playing like there’s a dog emergency and nobody but the cops can slow him down.
Also,
he sucks, cut him
-Skolly
I think so too. Kid is shifty.
SKOL!
Mond picked by Chazz Surratt – little ex-Viking on ex-Viking crime….
It’s funny because I’m sure they faced each other a lot as rookies in training camp. Also, Surratt has put on some mass/muscle. Looks totally different than when he was with Vikings.
Thought the same thing. He looked way bigger.
Holy smokes…. Joe Thomas is unrecognizable. Glad he made it to the HoF – deserving despite playing for a terrible franchise.
Most of those O-linemen drop about 100 pounds after they retire. They consume 10,000-12,000 calories a day just to keep their weight up.
Thank god football is back….
Can’t watch it here. DirecTV is in some contract dispute with the local NBC broadcaster and so I couldn’t watch the British Open, and can’t watch this game either.
LAME – I’m streaming on Peacock on my Roku.
I hated that, happened all the time. I launched DTV 6 months ago for Apple TV and use spectrum and a bunch of other apps, netflix, Amazon, espn, peacock, YouTube (has sunday ticket this year). Costs half as much, all 4k streaming and none of the BS you’re dealing with.
I recently switched from Spectrum to Allo here in Lincoln. We just need internet here and Allo is all fiber. Then HuluLive for RedZone (I get most Vikes games here and the ones I don’t I either bootleg or listen to the call with Bercich and PA) We’ve got it all – Hulu, Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, Peacock, Pluto, Disney, Paramount – Hulu/Spotify/Disney are all on a package deal. We pay for Prime & Netflix and have passwords from the outlaws for the rest.
DIGITAL ANTENNA FOR THE WIN! FREE!!!
I have one of those as well for locals. Works nicely.
I had to power cycle man and re scan channels to get things back to normal but, works great. And with my TV , I hook up a portable HDD to it and I can pause and rewind live TV off the antenna, its sweet.
Well this is good news.
Doomer Skolly in shambles
One series in, and Mond still sucks…
Zim was right about something…
I see him in practice every day…
2nd series, even worse.
Give me Kirk!
Wish the media would ask some hardball questions of KOC. Like “what are you going to do to stop your QB from being the most hit, sacked, knocked down, and pressured QB in the league?”
If they do ask, I hope they won’t be redundant and just ask about pressures, and sacks/hits or knockdowns, since knockdowns = hits + sacks.
P.S. also, as previously explained, Cousins wasn’t the most sacked. Not even top 5. Which is another reason you should focus your schtick on pressures and how many times he was hit (I.e. QB Hits + Sacks).
I’m speaking to the broader picture. Combining all those numbers is the total view of how Cousins is at the top of the league every year in being beat down.
By the way….there is a Vikings full night practice tonight so packed practice stadium. Should see some video clips tonight on all the action.

Holy smoke Dak has looked like 2 week old dried up dog shit this camp. This is the second just horrendous pick I’ve seen and word is he has not looked good and defenders are talking shit to him. He’s losing respect. Cooper was ahead of the curve apparently not that comparing him to Cousins is fair because he’s no where near the stellar QB Kirk “chains” Cousins is.
Hate to tell you this Lifer… he was out of bounds. No interception.
Still a bad read and a bad throw. Well, maybe read was OK but throw was terrible.
Yeah, but it’s training camp. He’s feeling it out with different receivers right now. My take on Dak is he believes the hype about what a great leader he is and he is the top dog on the team. He would do better to just focus on executing the plays, than thinking he’s the playmaker IMO.
I think all the interception king stuff has gotten in his head. Be fun to see how he handles it.
I actually like Dak…I hope he doesn’t flame out although I have no love for Dallas as a team.
Of course you’d love him, he’s the white Kirk cousins
?????
true
Quadroon Cousins*
I like him, too, even though he went to the wrong Mississippi college.
Just get a team to start Jameis Winston, then Dak won’t be the interception king anymore.
Black Kirk sucks, go figure.
Wangu is definitely gone
He’s the kick returner, and a damn good one…
Eh, thats not enough to keep you on the roster if you are banged up. Its replaceable.
Hell yeah!
FTP!
As expected. The Vikings have Team Cap Space of : $10,270,679 after Hunters deal.
Good call, you nailed it.
Thanks.
ive been trying to learn about the salary cap.
Now go get us a guard.
This MF’er just says shit to say shit lol…..he’s in his own little world of pity. It’s been 2.5 years lol…
Have to agree. He must have never driven through the SE side before. It has been f’d up for a long,long time. And some would say the capital are, where Congress works, has been equally screwed up just as long.
Surprised the Stupid Libs are not blaming him for the condition of that area, they blame him for everything else.
Probably has to do with him pointing it out took them by surprise, they will get back on point quickly.
TDS is a sad mental issue.
Its been 2.5 years and he is still rent free in your head. Move on. Get over him.
That city has been dogshit for decades.
Book your Vegas SB tickets now boys….it’s a preseason prediction you can count on!🤪
Yeah, but I think this is still just pre-season speak. Every team is saying stuff like this.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Stomp the Bucs in the opener, then go to Philly and stomp them.
If and this a big IF, if we stomp both the Bucs and Philly, then get your tickets.
I really think last year they poured everything they had into that first game against the Packers. They planned, they schemed, they practiced, and they put everything into it physically and emotionally. The next week in Philly they looked unprepared, and got run over.
Dear KOC, be prepared to play more than one game in a row.
Yeah beating Philly at their house week 2, which by the way WTF do we have to go there two years in a row why aren’t they coming to us, anyway Eagles open at the Patriots which should be a W for them so hopefully we catch them on a short week feeling a tad over confident and we can draw on the Bills game last year after a tough win on the road in Washington and pull the upset. Tall tall task.
Home team covers the spread in a silly fashion on short week TNF
I expect doom for the Vikings.
Better beat Tampa since an 0-2 start would really suck
Pretty safe bet we drop that game. 0-2 start would be panic time.
A minority opinion here. I thought Philly looked worse than it was.
Kirk and JJ had bad games and KOC had a bad game plan. I think all three got sucked into game one hype.
Still, Irv flat out dropped a perfect TD pass and JJ broke his route off the wrong way that would have been a second TD. And our defense wasn’t that bad.
We would have still lost, but not so lopsided.
You just have to keep it within 10 points, don’t let them get a big lead then go in to power run mode and keep us on the sidelines then we come out to their fresh defense and it’s a bad bad scenario.
And your point about us having to go there two years in a row. How in the hell did that happen.
And Philly is a real shitty place to go play at.
Slight fix.
Yeah, giving up 26 to the Eagles isn’t a bad performance by the D, especially last year’s D. Any time we gave up fewer than 35, it was an accomplishment.
Guess over/under with Purple is 8.5. Vegas crap i guess.
Kitties 9.5 i think. Place your bets boys.
Vegas oh boy….The kitties have never won the NFCN…favored lol….k
Bet the over on the Vikings…
Just send that money to me instead, Ill get you a nice bottle of bourbon with it rather you get nothing in return
I have placed my bet, and the homer in me required I take the over.
Kirk still fails though
K
Thats where I have em. between 8-10 wins. Mid. One and done. Tale as old as time
Got the vasectomy done today. My balls are sore!
how did it go? i need to get that done. nervous.
It was quick. It’s weird, the right hurt like hell and the left was very easy. Doc said it’s common for one to hurt more than the other. I’m 7 hours out of it and it just feels a little sore. Like a kick in the nuts but not too bad. Nerves are the worst part and not really the pain.
Good news is you’re not reproducing!
LOL. i knew that was coming, sort of speak.
Finally, something we agree on!
You should schedule it for the Friday before week 1. Use it as an excuse to watch football uninterrupted.
I could do it for you with a pair of tin snips and a needle nose plier.
Did you freeze some for future family planning with a new bride?
Nope, I have a niece with a genetic developmental issue and an autistic nephew. Too risky and I am getting old. Oh, and I don’t want kids!
I should have done that. Ended up getting the plumbing reconnected when I remarried.
Ice cubes would have been much less expensive.
Made the outie an innie
I got that done years ago and it didn’t work!
Wife keeps getting pregnant.
The only thing it did is change the ethnicity of my kids.
Weird.
Laughing… so hard.
“Hard”
LOL!
We’re you complying with a court order?
Knee-jerk hawt taek after initial reports of Mattison’s injury:
What’s most interesting in this snippet is the statement “….above-average offensive line that is ranked 8th in the league heading into pre-season…….”
Ross Tucker’s pseudonym must be Mjolnir.
Was that not the area the oline ranked in run blocking? I don’t recall.
They must not count all those third and short where we get stuffed..
They were 27th in the run last year…sooo
Eh….pff grades on blocking prowess not result of the run which is a RB grade. I think PFF had the oline blocking grade higher.
“…..above-average offensive line that is ranked 8th in the league
heading into pre-seasonon plays that gain more than 10 yards…..”There. Got it fixed.
I’d smoke Ross Tucker under the table….
Jarrid Williams: 2022 UDFA signing with the Iggles, released, signed with Loins, released, signed with Steelers, released 4 days ago.
Strengths
Fundamentally sound and understands blocking angles, using body positioning to his advantage. Disciplined awareness and good intelligence.Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.He has the quickness and growth potential, long arms and powerful base to be one of the most popular players in pre-draft film sessions. If he impresses in private workouts, he could climb draft boards.Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.Weaknesses
Attacks when necessary, though he won’t consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.Has only average measurable with limited arm length and no overpowering qualities.Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.Isn’t an elite quick-twitch blocker and his height causes him to be out-quicked. Leaks inside pressure when his technique gets sloppy.Struggles to be consistent blocking in motion and doesn’t have the natural foot quickness to cover a lot of ground.Camp body.
Strengths: Being released
Do it well. Do it often.
He sucks, cut him
So the Vikings have one of the best tackle duo’s in the NFL, allegedly, they let the guard go but sign more tackles?
Not risking Darrisaw/ONeill getting injured in pre-season.
….or Risner, for that matter.
I think he had medical red flags…hence why all teams are staying away
thought we were weak at guard not tackle.
They’ll make excellent guards!
Sniffer on track to set vacationing record at 39%. Sadly, when he’s at the WH he thinks he’s in Delaware.
He’s been on vacation since 2019.
Camela thinks there’s approval polls out there that say the czar is doing fine. She failed to mention one, however.
At his best when he is out of town dong nothing
Just think this country is in deep shit.
Oh yea !!! Second best day for the American people is when congress is out of town and not doing anything.
Give me one positive JR.
Well, believe you and I aren’t spring chickens. Thus, we won’t have to put up with this shit as long as the young bucks around here.
I’ve voted. Voiced my opinions. It ain’t working. As i have mentioned on here i believe the voting base gets dumber by the minute. Guess i’ll just watch it burn.
Everyone knows that if you want to change things, you run for office and get elected…..
…….where you find out you can’t change shit.
“dumber voters” – hell, we now graduate kids who can’t add numbers or read Dumb kids become dumb adults.and unfortunately dumb voters.
Something MUST change. Keep voting.
Oh, and it doesn’t help that our side is run by idiots.
This^^^^
We all know he isn’t the one running the country.
He can’t run a bath let alone a country
Why aren’t we talking about the guy getting his mugshot right now?
I don’t know if the Trumpster ever said that, but it is true.
Yeah I know I’m on shaky ground what with the natural membership bias towards the notably left leaning Minnesotans but I absolutely believe the current administration cares not a whit about my liberties or preserving what I’ve worked hard to achieve.
You Sir would be absolutely correct!
He literally says it every day, tweets it on his social site, says it at his rallies. Doesn’t matter he’s a con-man milking his supporters for his legal fees and in the same breath brags about being a billionaire lol…and they still send him money. Can’t make it up.
You’re right about him bringing in all that money- he needs to get a lot smarter like any respectable politician would, Maybe set up a Foundation like the Clintons, or just as good an S corporation like you know who, that gets funding washed through 20 different accounts.
Trump really does need to get his act together.
Majority you’ve listed have followed campaign finance laws…he blatantly ignores them but has so many outlandish bigger crimes committed no one has time to focus on them. He’s so fucked.
Damn, who wouldn’t. you don’t need to scam a campaign if you can set up a foundation and flush a billion tax free dollars through it.
And you’re right, he may be fucked, but let’s see Joe on a stage debating someone -get your popcorn
“I remember growing up in Scranton, PA and sitting at the dinner table with dad who was worrying about making ends meet.”
Yep, Dad wore an ascot and had his polo stick in the closet.
Seems pretty middle class to me..
LOL, I can barely recognize him, his skin and the jumpsuit blend together so much
Fascinating article on the F-35. Seems it has finally met it’s potential, it’s death as a never will work fighter is vastly overblown and dozens of countries want to buy them. One general said this fighter keeps america at the top of the mountain without it we won’t win wars in the tech age.
Lockheed Martin’s $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet is 10 years late and 80% over budget—and it could be one of the Pentagon’s biggest success stories
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lockheed-martin-1-7-trillion-100000423.html
I really don’t understand the different mission profiles of the F-22 or F-35 but hey I’m no fighter pilot.
Warthog. Need one for Mpls.
Seems like the F-35 might not shrug off a few 23 mm shells like the A-10, but planes are cheap, eh?
Ever see video of a warthog? Close combat it is lethal. Pilots fire so much ammo the cockpit just shudders.
F35 can evade all Chinese and Russian current surface to air missile systems. An A-10, although I love that plane, would never make it to the target before being shot down.
True, not made for that. I’m sure lots of ground troops loved it.
The article above spells out what the F35 can do…man it is on a different level. Like in Top Gun 2 when he’s saying we won’t last 2 secs with a 5th generation fighter…that’s what he means…enemies see the F35 they bug the fuck out real quick…see below and that’s just an F22…F35 shows up and they want absolutely nothing to do with it if they even see it before it lights them up.
Love these videos. Guys are so skilled and have more balls than me in 10 lifetimes.
Different breed….rare air to say the least.
How’d they get the video?
Badass simulator I’m guessing?
You can tell at 0:34, the cameraman is clinging to the engine nacelle and filming the action from above. Quite admirable how steady he keeps the camera despite the lack of oxygen at 35000 feet and the buffeting 600 mph winds.
this is a simulator.
You see some of these cockpits rich guys set up for DCS? MFDs, tactile controls, fovea tracking headsets, etc etc etc.
NVF has two of these set up in his den sat-linked with NORAD drones that he gets up early and does gods work with.
Heh heh I can almost believe it.
F35 has a 25mm cannon.
ZSU 23 4 Shilka
I got a 25 mm cannon too!
BSF does math. Realizes that’s about an inch….still posts.
I hear Warthog and just think of this
Read the article it spells all of that out. We’re in the digital age and this plane uses all of it to be superior.
Tee times this weekend?
Oddly enough I’m playing at a Trump course tomorrow afternoon. I hope I don’t burst in to flames on the first tee being a lib and all or end up like below when they see my rainbow driver shaft.
Not this weekend at my local course, they’re hosting a Shriners event Saturday. Maybe I’ll book one for Sunday morning.
Trump course. LMAO.
No shit….I had to laugh…buddy I know who is a member called me and asked me to play with them. I know all of them big high rollers and Trump guys i would see at my golf shop, they know I’m a lib and we talk shit and they live for it. Probably half the reason they want me to come play there. We’ll see lol… shot a 110 the first time I played there but was right after winter. Hope to shoot low 90‘s this time around.
Keep in short grass and luck with flat blade.
That’s basically golf in a nutshell….have 2 of the 3 disciplines working ok and realize one of the 3 (tee, approach, short game) is likely to be off.
Yep.
I drove and putted well yesterday.
Fairway shots sucked.
Shot a 92
That’s a damn good round none the less..I mean by perspective only 10% of amateur golfers shoot 85 as an average (10 hdcp) so 5 to 7 shots worse is literally a few holes you do better on.
I am playing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday…at my age (or general physical condition) that 3rd consecutive day is pretty brutal.
It would help if I would ride a cart, but I know walking the course is good for me, so I walk, but my score will suffer on that 3rd day.
In my youngin years, I played 45 holes on a Saturday, and 36 on Sunday.
Yes, me too…in my early 30s could do that. I was worn out by the end, but I coiuld do that.
I couldn’t do that in my 30’s.
I’m talking teenage years.
Cooling in Minny, maybe rain. Need it.
Share your results, I’ll share mine. I’m going to grind hard tomorrow it’s a tough Trump course redesigned by Greg Norman about 10 yrs ago. Very hilly lots of elevation with doglegs and not an even lie to be found so really have to focus on set up adjustments ball below/above, down hill / up hill grades and such. Greens usually fast will be a tad slower with the rain we’re getting today.
I did 2 hrs on the range yesterday and finally fixed my fucking pulling iron and wedge approach shots. The fix I figured out after 100 of 150 balls…I was standing to freaking far away from the ball. I inched up, made my swing steeper and hit 10 beautiful 52 wedge shots high 95 yards straight to the green. I knew that and had gradually forgotten about it and kept getting a little farther and a little farther over time until I was pulling regularly.
Never liked hilly stuff when i played, unless looking down at a par 3.
Will do sir…hope your iron fix works on the course.
I used to belong to the Minot Country Club from 2015 to 2021…That is a hilly som’ bitch. Maybe 2 relatively flat holes on the whole course. Usually a down hill tee-off but an uphill finish, and of course lots of side hill lies….but it was beautiful…in true ND fashion there was exactly 1 tree on the whole course.
Is it true you no longer belong to the Country Club; rather you now own your own golf course?
Wow I wish! We moved to the Semi Private Vardon.
You can walk the Vardon, you cannot walk the country club.
Hey, looking at that course from space it looks pretty nice, right next to the river and all.
They are both very nice golf courses.
The River next to the Vardon flooded it out in the great flood of 2011. They had to basically re-seed the whole course, reshape the greens that had been washed away…They lost a good number of trees as well so they added a few sand traps to compensate.
Back in 2001, when the Lockheed X-35 won the Joint Strike Fighter program award, I told my Pentagon buddies “I bet it will cost us a Trillion dollars before it’s over”. They all laughed at me. They were right though, it cost a lot more than that.
Is there ever a price the Pentagon won’t pay for a weapon system they want.
Nah, it’s easy to spend other people’s money.
Actually this thing just grew and grew, and grew. Scope creep as every month it seemed, some new capability or technology was added to the mix. You see, you can take the F-4 as an example. It could do everything… but to do everything, you can’t do most things well. The insistence that the F-35 do everything, and be the best in everything at the same time, was the challenge. Speed, maneuverability, lethality, etc, etc, etc. The costs climbed and climbed.
Seems to happen with ships tanks, missles or whatever they do.
Maybe necessary but there’s a lot of beltway bandits getting rich over this constant escalation of added capabilities.
Oh well, as the Navy guys say – nothing but the best for the boys in blue.
Morning skolasses.
Any new Trump indictments?
I guess sniffer is at the beach again with his privacy wall.
NY mayor says migrants are overwhelming the city. Wants federal assistance.
That be you knuckleheads.
Twins suck.
I think most people are sick of Trump on here. But I’ll just post this for fun.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr just caught TDS.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday undermined a key pillar of his old boss’ defense in the special counsel’s probe into 2020 election interference, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Donald Trump “knew well he lost the election.”
The former attorney general also described Trump’s alleged actions as detailed in the indictment as “nauseating” and “despicable,” saying on “The Source,” “someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.”
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/03/politics/bill-barr-trump-arraignment-2020-election/index.html
Never mind me over here.
He didn’t describe them as illegal though
Well, according to CNN:
Barr obliterates Trump’s defense: ‘He knew well that he had lost the election’
He obliterated it, Ben.
Kinda like some stranger does to Five’s SA while he watches in the closet.
No but the federal jury that charged him, JURY not the doj being weaponized, it’s a jury has nothing to do with the Biden admin it’s a jury of his peers, they seemed to think the fact he hatched and endorsed the elector fraud scheme in multi states and told Pence to not certify the actual results and recognize the false electors was where he crossed the line and took illegal action. He has freedom of speech to say the election was rigged but as president he can’t act on it and he did and he will be found guilty. Case closed.
Its a “Jury of his peers” from a city where 96 percent of the population voted against…yaok. Or was the Jury from ND? Now if a Jury from ND charged him you would really have something to talk about…as it is just seems like more political BS…
Not to mention the extremely low bar that is the burden of proof for a grand jury. It’s extremely rare that a case gets denied by a grand jury.
LMFAO
What a tool you are….
LOL. I’m sick of lots of things. Politicians mostly but mostly this Brain dead admin. Also, KC talk, Cook talk. Cook must be trying to leverage with these visits.
Why are you sick of Kansas City talk?
Hank Stram.
Because their QB sounds like Kermit the Frog?
Hey chief, when you call your kids do they say, hey I’m in a work meeting, I’m going to put you on speakerphone so you can say hi?
Geeting old MT. I pretty much say what i want w/o fear of consequence. Poor kids, 2 in Az and 1 in Cali.
Just scheduled a Lasik appointment. If its good enough for my boy Kirk, its good enough for me.
Did it last sept 2022. Best investment and outcome. 100% worth it. Pays itself back too if you use contacts.
The 10 min during the procedure sucks a$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ though. Not fun but is short. Ask doc for presciption for anxiety drug. They’ll give you one pill to take before your appt
I’m not going to pass up the chance for a valium.
Valium is a good sleeper pill. No hangover.
Yeah I asked for it and they didn’t say anythign and gave me 1 pill to take 20 min before my procedure. Took like 45 min to hit so didn’t even help for the surgery but zonked out right after.
Pretty sure you have to go to sleep or keep your eyes closed for 4 hours or more after the appt.
Post appointment its pretty trippy. Your eyes are all cloudy and cant see much. But after you wake up from the nap its better than 20/20 vision
i wish i could get lasik….
BLAST MY PERFECT VISION!!!!!!!
I heard OVO is the place to get it in the TC
That’s where I’m going.
Doctors Whiting and Lobanov are the “legends of lasik” allegedly
I got Dr. Lobanoff.
Dr. whiting sounds racist.
If you ever need info on cataract surgery, let me know.
If I’m still around by then kid.
Just got it done in March. If they do SMILE it is better than traditional LASIK. Less chance of nighttime vision issue and no chance of it getting damaged in the future.
Also, it takes 15 seconds per eye. No flap they cut open.

Fail. Not Found !
Is this what you were trying to post?
No, looks like the person that tweeted it must have deleted it.
Looks like my man cave but with vikings related stuff and Kirk fatheads
I just noticed.
I think we have that EXACT sofa/couch.
LOL
Cute, nice rack.
I finally found this place by going to the home page. I’m going to change my bookmark I guess as the open thread bookmark doesn’t show the current day’s thread any more.
I fixed it
I basically asked for a life preserver to get thrown in the water on the Aug 2nd thread. After treading water for another 30 minutes I figured there was no way there wasn’t a thread up somewhere…and no one was going to throw me the preserver.
I had a nice breakdown of this week’s Bachelor episode, only 13 paragraphs…let me head back over and do a cut and paste.
Night practice is tonight right?
Football is back tonight!
Mond vs Wilson
Mond > Wilson > Cousins.
Its weird Cleveland is starting their 3rd stringer, usually you see the backup at least play some.
Maybe they think Mond is their backup??
Maybe the Vikes let a diamond in the rough go??…..NAH
Maybe they want to see mond actually play against a different team, Dobbs is listed as the backup but he is what he is at this point, a lower tier backup. I’ll be curious to see Mond, he sucked the only time he played in a regular season game for the Vikes.
Actually I am curious as well, it is obvious Zim had no time for him.
Browns have 4 preseason games so maybe that’s why or they want to see if its worth keeping over that rookie they drafted
Yeah, probably right, my guess is he doesn’t make the team
Probably not
The Vikings O line coach showed up at the gym my wife goes to this morning. Is it weird he doesn’t work out at the team facilities?
On a side note, I told her she needs to do whatever is needed to get free tickets.
No way is this going to back fire!
Ok Adam22
me neither.
He’s beta cuck bitch who sells his wife to other dudes to get banged, he recently offered her to that MMA guy that Greta has a crush on, I think his name is Andrew Tate
ahh…sounds like a really pathetic man.
Correct, sounds a lot like 5
probably sold her off to dirty mike and the boys
This convo outside of my comfort zone but who is dirty mike and the boys? Sounds like a death metal band.
Oh okay lol
i’m WAY more innocent then ben is, apparently.
what a perv he is.
I’ve never seen that movie – The Other Guy apparently
it’s pretty good. i’d recommend it being seen once.
So you don’t know about dirty Mike and the boys?
Well someone (cough cough freezey cough cough) posted some memes implying digital rectal exam and soup kitchen (whatever that is) in a Prius.
Its from the movie The Other Guys, you should watch it.
It IS weird. Maybe he’s scouting “outside the box.”
I prefer to do my scouting “inside the box”
If you know what I mean
step one….
How would he meet middle aged chicks willing to do the deed for tickets at the teams facility? This guy has it together.
I have one question…you and your wife go to different gyms? Isn’t there a family discount?
following
His wife goes to the gym where the Vikings players and coaches workout. BSF goes to the fitness center at the local retirement home.
You have drilled down to the fundamentals of my question.
Like, my wife goes to the top plastic surgeon in the country and I go to the vet.
Vikings not happy with their RB options? Or just looking for someone the defense can thump during TC?
Patrick played 10 games last season, only topped 50 yards in 3 of them, and never broke 100 unless you add in his receiving yards.
The Vikings have spent 3 first round picks and two second round picks on the oline and as a unit they still suck in pass protection. Le sigh.
*2 first round picks and 3 second round picks
The drafting of IOL guards specifically is not easy or guaranteed. I’m a firm believer you should pay in FA on a proven commodity like KC did. Sure draft a few 5th rounders see if you can catch one but there have been a lot of 1st / 2nd rd guard busts for all teams.
Yeah that’s what I said
Not according to my screen
Nevermind your screen, just trust me
Whatever Ben.
Everyone knows we do nothing to address the line.
NOTHING!!!
Good morning skolhomies….
Contraband run complete. 12 dispensaries, 900 miles round trip – Fresh flowers for everyone! Thankful for some almost real football tonight. Watching Eagles/Patriots SB repeat now, followed by Titans/Bills ‘Memphis Miracle’ – my favorite Doug Flutie game of all time. Then I’ll round out the day by watching Vikes/Bears from AD’s rookie year – his coming out party. Hope everyone is enjoying Friday Eve!
Skol!
Where do you go? Montana? Denver?
Eastern Colorado. At one point I was 465 miles due south of you. I waived, but I doubt you saw it.
It’s hard to see very far when the sun is out.
The little blue dot is me. The rest was the Biblical storm I drove thru to get there.
I go as far west as Fort Morgan – about 70 miles from Denver. Avoid Denver city sales tax on top of the marijuana taxes, which differ from county to county. Denver can get a little pricy.
Enjoy your stash! Maybe we should all be on the stuff to get through the season…I am sure my liver would appreciate it.
I’m sure it would….
I washed something like that out of my bellybutton this morning in the shower……..
HA! Did you try to smoke it?
It went down the drain too fast.
Lucky you….
Denver sucks in general, so does FOCO
12 dispensaries? You sound like a shopaholic hitting West Edmonton Mall. Do they even have malls anymore?
Lol. Gotta make it worth my time.
Lil ol Glendive has seven dispensaries. You could have just about satisfied your itch right here, no state tax! North Dakotans like their herbs, and are happy to drive over to get some.
Same with Nebraskans – and we’re not afraid to travel a long ways to do it. Lincoln to Fort Morgan was 810 miles round trip, plus driving around to find the ‘dark’ dispensaries. 60% of the cars in the lot in Colorado had NE plates.
I’m definitely keen to try it out there as I’m sure due to the proximity they are probably in some way getting supplied out of Vancouver and Humboldt County – some of the finest marijuana in the world grown in those locales.
That’ll carry me to the rest of the year. It’s a 1oz per dispensary limit – which amounted to 10 ounces of flower and 2 ounces in Vape/edible form. I’ll probably make another run in mid December as the prices/deals tend to be pretty good. I average about an ounce and a half a month – plus I give a fair amount of it out – a joint here and there to my wife’s friends or to my old man. I don’t sell, and I make zero from what I give away, but weed is meant to be shared and I’m fortunate enough that I can do so and sustain my habit.
Do they require your ID to prove age when you buy and if you have an out of state license still sell it to you?
They absolutely sell to out of staters.
Yup. Errybuddy likes money.
Yup. As long as you’re over 21 with valid ID. Medical cards allow for you to buy larger quantities with higher doses of THC than recreational alone.
You need that Med card.
I’m waiting for a state close to NC to pull the trigger on full legalization. Won’t happen here soon with these red shit kickers.
The number of marijuana purchases for medicinal purposes has dropped like a stone in Montana, while recreational purchases of course shot up once legalized for recreational use. There is the whole shitshow of finding a provider to prescribe and then the cost of a medicinal card.
I for one would never prescribe. I worked way too hard to have the feds snatch my DEA license.
My wife got me a nice glass bong on my bday in May and I haven’t used it yet, which shows what a “pot fiend” I am. These hot summer days I prefer to crack a beer after working outside on the weekend. I don’t drink or THC on weekdays which also restricts my usage. I think I might have had one gummy since May, I’m not sure. I really need to burn through my flower as I’m sure it’s getting old.
Take a Q-tip – wet the end of it and tape it to the top of the container or just toss in with the buds – will rejuvenate nicely. But yeah, smoke that shit soon doc. Or cook with it.
Re-posting this from the since deleted duplicate daily thread. Great watch with 6 more episodes, IIRC, to be released between now and the start of the season. These guys did similar productions on Mariners and Falcons in the past (haven’t watched them so not sure why those teams) but it was through their work on the Falcons that they decided to do their next project on the Vikings…I think we have Gary Anderson to thank for that.
They’re not Vikings’ fans…more like sports historians/storytellers. I learned some things I didn’t know before about the early days, like a Vikings player who drank 56 pounds of beer in a 24-hour period. Must watch TV for Vikings fans.
So no new threads for a few days a couple times recently and now there are two threads, wtf lol
Man, I deleted the other one. Sorry LIfer, I didn’t realize you’d posted a thread already.
Ope!
No prob buddy….I wasn’t sure if you were around or had one set to drop.
I posted one but didn’t see that you already had one. I just deleted mine.
Comrade Lifer – you taking over. Seems like it was a peaceful revolution.
Yes…we had to cancel Mick and weaponize the DOJ but the takeover was completed without firing a shot.
You hauled Mick and GF off to the clink?
GF is on the run….whereabouts unknown. Mick had hidden tunnels under his chicken coop and like El Chapo had a motorcycle rigged to train tracks in the tunnel to allow him to escape the FBI raid. We’ll find him.
Skolly is building up his superpowers. Look out for a counterattack.
He’s stockpiling dirty diapers and building a diaper cannon. That might be more than we can handle.
That’s pretty good Lifer
Thorsday!

(based on cap $ allocated to offense)
His deal has been much better than the first contract.
I still think 2018-2019 throwing that much money at him did hurt the roster.
However, since Wryck was in charge it really did not matter.
Zim and Rick were desperate for a QB, Zim still believed his defense was stellar when in reality it was quickly becoming a patchwork with a secondary that couldn’t cover and a scheme that couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down and lost games in the 2nd half.
So not enough money to find just ONE guard?
And if we’re not spending it on offense, just where are we spending it? Can’t be on defense – look at it.
And looking at that chart, how does Dallas and SF put more expensive offense on the field, and still put together defenses that put ours to shame?
Not that I don’t trust you’re number crunching, but this seems pretty strange.
Look at Philly way down the list…that’s criminal but what a rookie QB contract can do for you if you hit on one. Their window is closing fast.
I agree, the fact we can’t draft or sign a competent guard since Hutchinson borders on criminal.
I’d add, Dallas is paying their QB a fortune and they have a good line and a stout defense.
Seems to me we aren’t spending our money correctly or something and it can’t just be QB money.
Well we’ve had regime change and leftover debt to clean up that’s part of it. Then you have a different philosophical roster building approach more analytics driven so the cap won’t make sense for a few more years until the contacts and dead money age out.
Dallas built their O-line long ago, had it in place prior to Dak. They’ve had a stout O-line for many years.
I agree about timing of o-line. But they still pay them. Lifer’s overall numbers show they pay their offense more than we do That would lead me to think then they have less money for their defense – yet their defense is top five.
I don’t know the cap stuff, but this would make me wonder about our spending on the defensive side of the ball. But I really don’t know.
Parson’s is on his rookie deal and is a huge disruptive force…lawrence has his deal but it isn’t a back breaker and lil diggs hasn’t gotten paid yet. They’ll be some decisions coming soon. I personally think Dak will be out of Dallas soon after a bad year this year.
We need another Randall McDaniel.
Damn straight. Every contender we’ve had had a stud LG.
That man was an awesome football player…
GB lol
That is an interesting graphic Lifer….
Why would someone give it a negative??
????
Because it’s Lifer. Lifer posts get an automatic down vote.
Oh…Well that makes some sense…
I shall go and down vote according to this protocol.
What it shows is that 5 of the top 6, have their QB on a recent, longterm, contract extension?
This isn’t really all that shocking.
