Minnesota Vikings News:

We took a look at the Vikings’ potential compensatory draft pick allotment for the 2023 draft.

From the Strib, Les Steckel’s son, Luke, is working his way up the NFL coaching ranks. Steckel was actually a very good coordinator, he just wasn’t a good fit with the head coaching position, as Vikings fans know all too well.

Fansided has the Vikings pegged as a potential destination for Trey Lance.

Chillen now in hospital room. Won’t get TMI but sounds like it could be a bit. Meds gotta kick in before the action happens.

Could come tomorrow or 48 hours. Who knows.

The wifi sucks here though…

Documents with classified markings were found at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home last week, officials confirmed Tuesday.

Pence’s team notified the National Archives on Jan. 18 that a small number of documents were “inadvertently boxed and transported” to the former vice president’s home at the end of the last administration. 

I think the time has come we should all check our own personal files because chances are you also have classified documents you’ve “inadvertently” kept.

Culpepper was the most talented, but injury derailed his career. Pep, TK, Kirk.

cousins is by far the best vikings QB for the amount of years he has played, LOL tommy kramer has as many interceptions as td’s, including 26, 24, 24, and 23 int’s respectively.
it laughably shows the kirk bias for anyone to compare all 3 qb’s statistics and team record etc and think there is any argument to be made for anyone but kirk

cousins, culp, kramer

If Rodgers really does get traded (who knows), bet Paton will have even more regrets for over paying for Wilson.

Peter King is saying it will cost two 1st’s for Rodgers and that Woody for the Jets is willing to pay that if Rodgers wants to play there. They do have a decent defense and Hall returning at RB. Ole Woody might not be as crazy as we think. Still I personally think Rodgers is washed.

Seems folks are bored. I recommend these two videos from Americas Untold Stories, laying out the evidence that LBJ was involved in the assassination of JFK. Likely by now most folks know what a mean, corrupt jerk he was, but it was even worse than I thought. Part 1 lays out the evidence that LBJ manipulated JFK to return to Dallas because LBJ could control everything that happens there, including law enforcement and having the body taken to the plane instead of the autopsy being performed in Dallas.

Part 2 is even more interesting involving the cover up and LBJ’s absolutely despicable behavior on the plane and how he treated Jackie.

Part 1

Part 2

I don’t know that I want to know….

FYI my favorite LBJ story is that when he had to talk to someone he didn’t like in the White House…he would go take a dump and make them come along and talk to him while he was shitting on the toilet…Just a really gross way to try to intimidate someone.
Yes he was a jerk.

Yes, I had heard that story long ago as well. He was a disgusting person (my goodness, his behavior on that plane was horrific), but even more corrupt than I thought. Just one example, he had the car transported (to Detroit IIRC) and had the front windshield replaced (to remove the evidence of a shot from the front) and had the whole car detailed to remove any evidence of anything whatsoever.

They really know they’re stuff. You know you’re on to something good when Robert Barnes recommends them. As I said when I recommended their series on CIA involvement in JFK (and Bobby Kennedy BTW) assassination. I stick to their series videos. The “Free Form Friday” stuff can be entertaining, but they just talk about whatever comes to mind, so I find those too all over the place.

Should add that sometimes Barnes is a guest on the “Free Form Friday” ones, I sometimes watch those. They’ll say some very interesting things about stuff I didn’t know, but they move on to the next subject so fast. I’m always thinking, whoa, wish they’d talk more about this or that.

Whatever you do, don’t try to do breathing exercises with your wife while eating french fries.

Yes, there is a story about that.

We were in the hospital waiting on our first born and I was getting hungry. My sister ran out and got me something to eat. As I shoved some fries in my face, my wife started having a contraction so I was trying to eat fries and do breathing exercises at the same time. Eating fries is good. Breathing fries is not good.

Was it NYC that put out a list of things to do if somebody was trying to rob you? Things like start a conversation with them and other stupid stuff.

That Pat Pete question isn’t so black and white. We need a veteran presence if we are trying to rely on Rookies. Is that vet Pat Pete? I don’t know. But he has found a way to be solid (not great) while he has lost a step clearly.

Depends completely on the new DC’s scheme, if it is man coverage based then no, he is not a fit, he played well in the zone scheme though.

Called off the relationship? Is that the polite way to say she dumped him like a hot potato?

He definitely has issues with finding a woman. Maybe if he tried to find someone normal instead of most of the women he dates are weirdos.

Interesting the spin on this. They stacked the one end with cats and dogs to make it look like the line is further to the right. Why isn’t there multiple kinds of pigs, chickens or ducks in their line up.

Yeah, and what about sheep and goats? Are they not good enough to include? I would swap the horse and rabbit, add sheep and goats to the right of that and my temporary line would be at the horse. I would try horse meat but I’m not about to butcher one and put it in the freezer.

Ever had a 29 hand?

I’ve played thousands of games of cribbage, only once in my life have I had a cut where I could potentially get a 29 hand (I did not).

My dad got one when playing in a tournament in the military. Had the cards framed and a plaque made, etc. Of course I tossed it along with all the other hoarded junk when we emptied the condo when my mom moved into a senior care facility.
