Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
Man, these late baseball practices are tough on an old fart who likes to go to bed fairly early. Practice started at 7:30 last night, didn’t get home until 9:30. I’ve been going hard since 7:00 in the morning, and my batteries are running low. We have a great group of kids again this year, it’s gonna be a fun season.
Vikings & NFL News
From the USA Today, Adrian Peterson opened up about his departure from the Vikings in 2017. Man, I was a fan of Zimmer, but I’ve become less of a fan as we learn more about his tenure in Minnesota.
Vikings.com looks at new Vikings WR Jauan Jennings in the filmroom.

Grilled some walleye, played some Fortnite, now kiddo and I gonna go chill in the hot tub while it’s raining. Today is a good day.
It is a good day GF… enjoy.
“chill in the hot tub” good thing I’m not literal minded, might spend the rest of the day trying to figure that one out.
I guess that is a bit contradictory.
Kathy is gonna love this…
That’s friggin awesome. Teddy is one of my favorite players, such a good person.
My son just made a good point. Teddy got fired for being a good person. The *aints coaches didn’t even get fired for paying guys to hurt other players.
That is a very impressive point.
Gettin edgy up in here… and I fully agree with Sam.
I’m sure he will get called things stronger than “controversial”.
Definitely
Love it
I wonder how it would go over if the players that were Jewish or Muslim were forced to wear a arm band to support the pork producers of America?
Or vegetarian. Are there any vegetarian football players?
Seahawks won’t get a call all season.
Its not real. He never said that. Yall gotta learn to sift through the bull shit on the internet. If it sounds made up, it probably is.
Especially in Seattle, that’ll go over like a fart in church.
He never said that. This is a fake tweet.
There are so many of these fake posts about players making big cultural statements, I assume all are fake now. If any player did say something shocking like this, I wouldn’t even know because I will have already assumed it’s fake.
Carson Wentz looks like he should been cast as corky thatchers brother in the show life goes on
my vote for the poll up top
None of the above. Like on Brewster’s Millions
Grilling some walleye (caught in ice cold April water) and sauteeing peppers. I’ll post a pic when it’s done.
Kiddo’s last day of school yesterday, so I get to stay home today & hang out. Too bad it’s raining, or we’d be playing ball.
Holy hell, this is yummy
Nicely done GF!!!
LOL
NSFW language
My wife is a teacher. Kids are and always have been morons. That’s why we need good teachers and good parents. Some teachers are good, others bad. Some parents knock it out of the park, others struggle because they were never taught the skills to parent, and other are bigger morons than their children.
Rec for Truth.
Amen, brother
Moron is kinda harsh, I prefer to think of my kids (and myself) as knuckle-heads.
A few random thoughts….
Something to be said for the hard-work therapy thing, or just hard work as a validation of one’s self esteem. Never felt so good as when I was dirty, tired and had done something physical.
I grew up a country kid – not a farm, but an acreage. No cattle, no crops (dad had a massive garden) but the place was in rough shape when my folks bought it. Sweat equity followed – clearing trees, flattening hills, ripping out hedge lines. We razed two old barns, built a 40×60, remodeled the house (new basement, massive kitchen remodel) We rerouted the driveway, poured and spread tons of crushed white rock. Much of the hard labor done by me and my dad – I hated every second of it, but I’ll be damned, it’s 35 years later and I’m thankful for the experience.
I worked for farmers as a kid – some livestock work. Lots of de-tasseling, walking bean fields. Worked at Walmart during the winters – that wasn’t hard work, that was fucking off and stealing candy. My last two years of high school I worked for my girlfriend’s father – a contractor and Viet Nam veteran who might’ve been the most patient man I’ve ever met. Which came in handy with a dullard like me around. But I worked hard. Frame work. Demolition work (my forte as bull in a china shop clumsy kid with big feet) Lots of shingling – a bundle over each shoulder going up the ladder made me feel like a god. The thing I remember the most – the way my boss, and the farmers treated you. Lunches at the house. Massive spreads that would choke a wood chipper. Like clockwork in the afternoons the wives/daughters would often come out to the field – lemonade, basket of fried chicken and cookies – for a goddamn afternoon snack. No vending machine bullshit. Unreal. Good people. Fond memories.
* Teaching is hard, it’s harder when administrators and politicians have agendas. Harder still when the emphasis is technology based – iPads, laptops, smartphones. Do they even teach penmanship anymore? Personal finance? Youngsters these days live life in 30 second increments – or however long a Tik Tok video is. How do you educate that?
* Carson Wentz is meh – tough SOB. Good chance he takes snaps for us this year and if he does, I’ll root for him like I would any Vikings signal caller, but meh.
* Kyle Busch’s death is shocking – not a big NASCAR guy but WTF. Condolences to his family, fans.
tl;dr
Happy Friday!
Everyone be safe – except GF who is likely to drive fast and take chances.
FTP!
SKOL
Good stuff Mjolnir.
Personal Finance is absolutely still taught. I think the focus on tech is something that was needed when it was the generations that weren’t born and grew up with the tech and needed to LEARN it. Now-a-days, probably not needed as much. Penmanship? waste of time. Outside of signing your name, what’s cursive needed for?
I’m not even talking cursive – just literal putting pen to paper and what comes out is legible.
Not everything is done via computer – my office is required to keep paper apps for 2 years. Most of my dealings are with college age students who are filling out these apps and it’s…. Awful. Just terrible. Mistakes get made because of this – large, time and money consuming mistakes all because a 19 year old kid never learned how to write anything past their names. Shit like that happens a lot.
Nowadays it’s common to hear parents talk about limiting ‘screen time’ with their kids – probably a good thing. But is it then a good idea to give a child of 7/8 years old the technology to access the world – and all the terrible in it? Passwords, firewalls, whatever – how is that a good thing? I’m not a parent (luckily for all involved) but that thought alone would keep me up at night: Who has access to my child via the tools they’re given for schoolwork?
And I have my doubts as to whether or not Personal Finance is being taught – or to the degree it should be. Do they still teach how to balance a checkbook? Just curious…. I rarely write checks, but still balance my checkbook, albeit quickly…..
Last year I had a battle with a raccoon who took a liking to the sunflower seeds in my bird feeder. Had to put the feeder back together several times.
This week I’ve been waking up to the feeder on the ground again. All I can say is that sucker put on some weight over the winter……..
i bet that squirrel looks like a bear
Raccoon???
Yup. Just reread. Thought he said squirrel.
I have racoon scat on my deck I need to get rid of. I guess I need to put up a sign that says, “This is not a bathroom!” That will teach ’em.
Education…..
I think if you are outside large cities public education is ok. My wife and daughter are both teachers, and the crap they talk about with kids and their parents. Complete moron parents.
But the education system in general is so anti American and God, it’s no wonder that educated news media are outraged that the Speaker would recite the Declaration of Independence. They don’t even know what the country was founded on.
They are taught this in public schools. The country is founded on racism, misogyny, and white supremacy.
Edge makes some interesting points on education and there are many thoughtful answers.
I’m no expert on this although we did get three kids thru college and on there way. But a couple of thoughts I recall from the past.
Years ago George Will published an OPEd in the Washington Post and it went something like this – many at the time were sating we needed more money for the education system
‘ DC spends more money per child on education than any area in the country. Yet, the kids have the lowest test scores, but interestingly the highest self esteem. North Dakota (could be SD) had the highest test scores but were low in self esteem.’ Found this very interesting.
Second thought and I’m a little older than most here. I had heard for 50 years parents NEED to get involved and take change of their children’s education. Then following Covid, they did and OMG. Now the message became parents stay out of it and leave it to the teachers.
For what it’s worth.
I remember this.
Big fan of George Will.
Solid points, all.
Don’t want to overdue my welcome on this but one more point we encountered with our children. Dinner chats at supper.
Our kids could tell us about some Native American who got wrongly slaughtered by the cavalry, many stories of this.
But they knew nothing of Vally Forge, founding fathers, Pearl Harbor and the actual what I would call the meat of our history. Who was Henry Ford – they were clueless.
‘I had heard for 50 years parents NEED to get involved and take change of their children’s education’
The Teacher has long held that Parents were a worse problem than kids or administrators (both are issues but not the worst one). But again, that is in SoCal. When you have parents coming into the classroom and throwing their kids uncompleted homework on to her desk and saying ‘It is your job to teach my kids not mine. If you don’t want to do your job then quit’ then you know where the problem lies.
I meant it more along the lines sitting down with your kids every night going over their homework, making sure they do it, that kid of stuff. NOT people going into classrooms and raising hell.
As I said it was in SoCal, probably almost as bad in other blue states and cities.
An involved/active/supportive parent is vital to raising good people. Unfortunately there are fewer of those than we need in this country.
Now that I see that nobody voted for Wentz, I wish I could change my vote. If he wouldn’t have gotten injured last year, we may not even have a QB battle.
I was actually thinking about it. If they truly have a “fair’ competition, he might win. Before he he got hurt, offense looked good with him
Believe the real competition will be Wentz and JJ for the backup. But not sure it’s going to be fair – team politics.
That’s probably correct, the outcome is likely already decided, unless someone REALLY shines in the preseason.
Wentz is the definition of meh. He’s a career backup, nothing more
I think he’ll start again, he can play at a high level. The injuries are his main issue, but they’re caused by the way he plays the game.
Injuries and he isn’t very good
There’s a nice fridge in the house I’m working on, gotta be a $2,000 fridge. The dumbasses left food in it when the power got shut off, I have to take the fridge to the dump, there’s no amount of cleaning that’ll get rid of that smell. Blech.
I’d post a picture, but like the toilet picture, I think it may cause some to become nauseous.
I like sending these pictures to the office people at the state, just in case they want to bitch about the invoice when I send it. I could leave them out of the photo package, but nah.
I also don’t understand how TF people live when they don’t work. I understand a safety net, especially to make sure kids have enough to eat & a place to stay. I don’t understand how an able-bodied single person can continue to live with most of life’s luxuries, yet not work at all. I hire people to help me, and man, I’ve heard every excuse in the book for why they can’t show up, just worthless shitbags. I used to party a lot, too, but I never missed work and I’ve always worked full time. Hell, when I was in the military, we’d party until three in the morning and still be up at 5 am for the morning run, and we never fell behind. Pansies.
I also believe that not working harms people mentally. There’s a confidence and sense of self-worth that comes with being self-reliant.
I think more psychiatrists should prescribe digging ditches instead of medicine to their patients.
Right, not sure a day of hard work ever hurt anyone.
Tell that to OSHA. But I know what you mean. Hard work will definitely give you personal satisfaction as long as it isn’t done against your will.
At the prison when the inmates were in lockdown I would have to clean/sweep/mop/etc the entire section myself. Inmates would watch from their cells and often comment about how it sucked that I had to do that.
I always replied ‘work never hurt anyone’ and that it wasn’t ‘beneath me’. I figured it was a lesson quite a few of them could stand to learn.
I had no choice but to work hard, it was the only way I could make enough to pay for all the partying I did.
That’s 90% of us.
Yup.
How are folks nowadays able to continue their habits whilst not working? I try to hire people who are in recovery, but man, it’s frustrating as hell sometimes.
Working highway construction will make a man out of ya’. Hardest job I’ve had. I also poured concrete flat work, which was also not easy, but it paled in comparison to highway work. 15 hour days splitting time between jackhammering (70 pound hammer) and pouring concrete.
Any time I’m having a crap day, I think back to a job we did in Ft. Smith Arkansas in the middle of July, 80-85 hours a week. It makes my crap day feel much better.
Agree highway work, especially pushing Georgia Buggies loaded with cement, is big time.
Also, hauling shingles up the ladder and then putting them down all day can be taxing.
Roofing is another tough job. I haven’t done much of that, other than to shingle my sheds & stuff. I gladly hire that stuff out, especially now at my age, not a job I need to learn.
Being a hard worker and being dedicated to taking care of your family is a working formula for me.
Amen.
Adrian Peterson opened up about his departure from the Vikings in 2017
Imagine a season or two with both Cook and AP
Yeah, saw that. Sounds like Zim was a real butt hole.
Man, this business is showing me that there are some REALLY messed up people out there, and there are far more than we realize. You never know what’s going on behind the facades that people build.
I talked to the neighbors of this home I’m working on last night. They said there were at least 3 kids living in the home, ages ranging from 3 to 13. Friggin’ sad, it pisses me off. If you want to screw up your own life, it’s your business, but kids don’t deserve to have to live in it.
Sorry this is response from a few days ago, been super busy. About the issues in education. My wife has been a teacher her whole life too and MANY of my friends are in education as well. So this first response is to SoCal about his wife being in education and I think maybe the difference is area? Because I live in South Dakota and we don’t have those issues I guess to a lesser degree. I guess I will just have to take your word for it, about stuff being forced into your wife’s schedule. But the other part of this response is also to No Longer and this gets to some the point of the both sides issue, where it’s almost ALWAYS the case with people who are indoctrinated themselves. It really shows if you only have issues with calling out indoctrination in schools if it’s something you disagree with. You guys all only point out the woke/DEI/Trans stuff, talk about how facts don’t matter and that’s wrong… BUT you don’t mention ridiculous issues in red states of forcing religion and usually, specifically one religion into the classroom. So, don’t pretend you ACTUALLY care of indoctrination in the classroom unless you also take a stand against that kind of thing too.
My best friend is a high school teacher and he has challenge to his students that they can never figure out his actual political opinions because his is to teach them TO THINK, not WHAT to think. Too many teacher on both sides get real preachy. I find that wrong, again on both sides. He tells his students he will play devil’s advocate. Tells his students any stand/opinion they take, he will take the opposite to make them THINK about their stance. Because, if you are just preaching your own BS, you have made education about you, and not the student.
But in everyone’s reply, their only issues they talk about are woke/dei etc…, so it really looks like you DON’T have a problem with indoctrination in the classroom, it’s just used as mask for you just have a problem with opinions opposite of yours. Which is fine, just say that then. Because there are LOTS of teachers out there that I experienced in South Dakota in my education that were VERY preachy about their faith and political beliefs on the right which is just as wrong as being preachy about woke/dei items. Either it’s wrong or it’s not. I had an English teacher start preaching one class about how evolution is fake. I told her to submit her peer reviewed article giving facts to disprove and then claim her Nobel Prize in Science… She wasn’t a fan of my comment.
Agree, I wish schools would stick to teaching subject matter. Leave it to the parents to teach their children morality.
As I’ve aged, I’ve gotten MUCH less politically idealistic, because I realize that both sides are full of **** and don’t care about the country, only about retaining power.
I’m one of those who can get along with anyone, regardless of political ideology. I just stick to conversations about the things we do agree on. No sense in arguing about subjects where neither person is going to change their mind.
My wife taught high school in ND. She never really had woke/DEI garbage mandated on her curriculum, but some stuff was included or suggested she just chose not to teach.
She was sad to see how much society has declined and how messed up her student’s were. One day a kid wanted to be Sam/he the next day he wanted to be Samantha/she, and back and forth it went. She always tried to be respectful and accommodating because she was afraid of losing her job – but those kids don’t need us to participate in their warped sense of reality, they need mental health counseling.
So she never felt like she was forced to teach woke shit, but she was afraid of getting fired if she slipped up and said something anti-woke. She is extremely happy she retired.
Yep. We’re pretty spoiled up here in the greater Dakota, our school systems are far better than most.
I haven’t heard much about the trans stuff here in Bismarck. As far as I know, kiddo hasn’t been exposed to any teaching about that, and I ask him periodically. I suppose it’ll come into play now that he’s going to enter middle school.
I really want to home school.
One of the guys who helped coach the baseball team last year home schools their children (well, his family does, I’m assuming his wife does the schooling part), and they are absolutely awesome people with really great kids. I need to talk to him and get more info. My wife is opposed, so I have to win that battle first.
As I have said before, as a Christian I am philosophically against home schooling. Who will be the light to the lost if not our children?
I know others have strong opinions in the opposite direction, and I would probably have different view living in some place other than ND. But as of now, I think all Christian ND folks should send their kids to public schools.
I lived in Mississippi for a few years, where they have the worst education system in the country. No way I’d send my kid to public school down there, it’s horrible.
Yet, DC, Baltimore, Philly, are all worse. nd you also have to worry everydayt about your childs safety.
I can’t even imagine.
I know it’s likely illegal, but I will NOT enter Minneapolis without my firearm.
It’s probably not illegal, I suppose, since it’s in a locked biometric safe while it’s in the vehicle.
Out-of-state permit valid in Minnesota:
North Dakota (Class 1 license only)
My kids have plenty of exposure to non Christian kids, and interact with them a lot. They also know a lot more about history, geography, and a few other subjects than many public schooled kids (like some of their cousins). They also learn to be self motivated (with some prodding from their teacher and Mom).
Our kiddo is WAY ahead in math and reading, we started working with him long before he ever went to school.
There’s lots of issues in the Dakota’s as far as the education system goes… It’s like you guys think the ONLY thing that matters in school is the woke subject. Like that’s it. You guys act like if we were saying Up was down, left was right but only boys can be boys… you’d be like, Yes, this is the way. There’s other components to education.
This is where I am going to disagree. Are we OK with calling Johnathan, “Bubba” or some nickname even though it’s not their name? Because if a Timmy wants to be called, Tammy then fine. Just do that. If you won’t then you are once again making it about you, not the kid. How are you going to get that kid to care about what you have to teach them if you won’t just call them by what they want to be called by? At the same token… I have a big issue with Timmy wanting to play girls basketball ya know? That’s different. You choosing to be called something else has no consequences for anyone else.
It’s not just about being called a different name though, it’s about expecting society to accept a mental condition as normal.
I agree with this, your friend sounds like a great teacher, but he does have the advantage of teaching in a red to moderate state. I have a lot of friends that teach here in Minnesota, that wish they could quit or retire due to the CRT and DEI type stuff that they are being forced to teach.
I bet it’s pretty bad over there in the Eastern Bloc.
I talked to a female teacher after going through the CRT training, she said she felt sorry for all of the white men in the class. It was basically a beat down on white males, and how they have destroyed the country, especially for minorities.
Wish I would be in that class, see how long it would take to get kicked out, because I don’t have the ability to keep my mouth shut when listening to stupidity.
That would just be use showing your toxic masculinity and proving their point.
But in a super red state like Oklahoma that passes some crazy religious indoctrinating shit is just as bad my buddy would want to quit. That’s my point. This stuff wouldn’t be so bad if people just stood on principal that indoctrination was bad and shouldn’t be allowed in schools.
Politics masks the real issue.
English, Math. Science scores are all dropping and have been.
Why is this?
True, scores are falling, even though kids spend more time in school (far too much time, IMO) than they did decades ago. The teachers aren’t the issue, in my experience, most of them are very good at what they do.
I have noticed that schools are extremely top-heavy, administratively. You have numerous vice-principles & yada yada. I’m guessing that doesn’t help, I know a business that’s structured that way will suffer.
Because teachers aren’t allowed to teach. Plus the whole system is broke right? Did you know by law (at least in SD) if a school puts out for bids for something like repairing a roof they HAVE to accept the cheapest bid. You are literally going, I’ll accept whomever can cut the most corners lol.
But schools spend HUDNREDS of thousands on curriculum text books without real input from the teachers. My wife teaches 2nd grade and they buy this new curriculum and she has a large amount of students who are still learning English, so they are already years behind, they aren’t ready for 2nd grade curriculum. So she spends a LOT on making and buying her own resources… in reality she could get in trouble for this but the curriculum they got isn’t appropriate. And that’s the real issue. Let the professionals be professionals about their job.
If they aren’t ready for a 2nd grade curriculum, then they shouldn’t be in 2nd grade. Too many kids are just pushed through to graduation. At the high school my wife teaches at, the average student reads at a 5th grade level. That is abhorrent. Hold students and parents accountable and stop the conveyor belt. At some point, with some students, some kids aren’t going to get it or do it, but the world needs ditch diggers too. Try to help em, but an automatic conveyor to a diploma does nothing for society or the student.
Why are teachers not allowed to teach?
Every parent wants there kids to learn to read, do Math, maybe some science.
So why aren’t teachers doing it?
Sounds like your wife has a real heart for teaching. Also sounds like you need a new school board (easier said than done). This is the reason my wife wanted to homeschool, concentrate on actual schoolwork without the other distractions. I had a great school experience (small school in the late 70’s) her not so much (late 80’s) so we argued about it at first, until I realized some of the things happening at our local school (drugs, kids being unruly, etc.). I realize it’s not for everyone, but I don’t regret it. One of my daughters works at the high school as a Para, some of the stories she tells are unreal (she works with kids needing extra help, but is involved with the general school population as well).
‘So this first response is to SoCal about his wife being in education and I think maybe the difference is area?’
Oh I have no doubt that Commiefornia is 1000 times worse than The Dakotas and the rest of the logical middle of America.
You are proving my point again. They are NOT 1000 times worse about indoctrination which people keep citing is the issue but then their only issue they refer to is woke ideology… ALL indoctrination should be kept out of public school.
So if it is not 1,000x worse tell me what you, with all of your knowledge and experience with Commiefornia Public Education, would it be.
As my kids were educated in North Dakota, Colorado (in the 80s), and in DoD schools in Germany I think that it number is pretty close to accurate.
Good morning from NYC.
Visiting my daughter.
FTP!
Good morning to you as well good Sir.
Condolences for being in NYC.
And of course Auto Rec for FTP.
I love visiting NYC for a couple days.
Love the hustle and bustle.
Driving an 18 wheeler there is NOT fun at all.
Buenos dias, have fun in the city! I hope you don’t get attacked by rats.
Who dat?
Kyle Busch meeting a fan while driving. Today’s a tough day in the racing world. We lost an all time great one. He was a lightning rod for sure and I couldn’t tell you how many times I actively cheered for anybody but Kyle to win the race, but there may have never been a more talented driver. I even started pulling for him the last couple of years. Being almost the same age and having kids the same age as his makes it hit a little harder too. The guy was racing go karts with his son on Tuesday, won the truck race last Friday, goes to the hospital for what sounds like a sinus infection yesterday morning and then, just gone.
I didn’t know he died. Was it during a race?
I kinda quit following NASCAR (or whatever they call it now) after Dale Sr. died.
I have not heard the how/why of it but it wasn’t during a race.
Nope. He’s had a “sinus cold” for the last couple of weeks. There are reports that he passed out in the simulator yesterday morning and was taken to the hospital. His family and RCR said he had been hospitalized with “a severe illness” and would not be racing this weekend. By 4 o’clock mountain time, they announced he was gone.
Wow, only 41. Sad.
Ebola?
No idea. Lot’s of conspiracy theories popping up, but I’m not going to give them the time of day. Today is just a sad day and I can’t imagine what his family is going through.
My vote is for JJMac, as I have stated several times. He is familiar with the playbook and receivers. Murray is on a vet minimum contract, and if the stories are true he will not be familiar enough with the playbook at the start of the season. He may be the starter by the bye, due to injuries or being better, but not to start the season.
Murray only signed because he knows he needs to get a new contract next year, in order to do that he needs to play and show out to get as much money as possible. He is starting.
Ya, I think it’ll be Murray. He’ll be motivated, his status as a starter is at stake. I think he & KOC have a good relationship.
Yes sir. Again, I have a theory he was checked out as he was because of where he was and who his coaching staff was. Its not an excuse, he shouldn’t have that shitty of an attitude but that’s just how some people are. I think he will be more motivated to learn and try under KOC and in this building. Time will tell if my feeling is way off or not.
I think Arizona is a pretty shittily run organization at the moment, they have been for quite a while.
He hasn’t seemed to change with all of the different coaching staffs he played for at Arizona. Maybe it is the orginization, but he had the option to go to the MLB, knowing he was probably going to get drafted by Arizona.
Fair point
Nah, they got him on the fast track……
Fist
FTP
regarding the poll question Murray will be the starter, JJ the backup and Wentz the emergency QB.
a much better question is who will be the next GM. Looking at what the wilfs have said about what they’re looking for as far as a consensus builder and ability to work with the existing scouting and coaching staff I think it’ll be Burckhardt from Denver, he has the most experience scouting college and pro players and worked for the Vikings for over ten years, or Bruzynstrski, who has zero experience scouting players but is good with contracts. Best guess is they go with who the front office, KOC, and B-Flo are most comfortable with. Maybe the owners trust the coaching and scouting staff enough to have a purely administrative person in charge, or maybe they look for someone with actual personnel evaluation experience. It didn’t really work out with KAM, who also had no real player evaluation background, just statophilia crunched by humping nerds. I hope it’s the Denver dude, who actually has extensive history scouting players.
Geez thats a long post for the first of the day. But rec for FTP.
I dont do polls or surveys. Usually the questions are wrong. Real question, “will our QB situation start to stabilize in a place to drive the team to success?”.
Anyway, off to golf
Good luck putting it into the little hole under the windmill, that one always gets me, those stupid blades get in the way on the rare occasion I don’t miss the hole.
tl;dr
I had to double check who wrote this. Half way through I could have sworn it was MT.
Whoa, is that Minot State?
FTP Auto Rec.
All this drama just to hire Brez.
Right?
“Fist”
Oh, you meant slip, not slip.
