Minnesota Vikings News:
At MSN, they feel that the Vikings are a great landing spot for Ole Miss WR Jonathan Mingo in the third round of this year’s draft. You know me, I’m always on board with adding guys from Ole Miss.
Trae Waynes is now a hunting outfitter, Vikings.com has the details.
The Jets have FINALLY landed the former Packers QB, as they signed Tim Boyle to a one-year deal, according to NFL.com.
Rumors starting that many teams have Hooker as the 3rd best QB in the draft. There goes that dream.
Wait until they find out about Tune
Amy nobody drafts him?
Who you calling Amy?
Sarah
This is exciting news!
Keion White has a visit scheduled with the Vikings.
This kid is a stud!
All workplaces should be closed on Good Friday. The place is dead. Everyone is just waiting out the clock. This time of year is a wasteland for holidays. We have nothing between New Years Day and Memorial Day.
It’s time to make Good Friday that day.
Summary:
GM FTP
Surly will be bitching three weeks from today one way or another
No need to hold on to guys for half a decade if they aren’t publicly nude according to Wrenage
Eldrick Woods being called Tiger is somehow the same as men who wish they were women wanting to play women’s sports according DE
Hooker discussion
Mick still dreaming about Lamar as Viking
DE went to Chicago then MPLS, hope he survives
Chunk tells women they’re pretty at the grocery store, then follows to the car and asks for a number, next up he whips out his cock and starts masturbating, MT follows and watches
Skolohilics did a podcast, apparently Brad and Skolly’s mics suck, Mick’s does not
Bowbunch had never heard of Jimmy Kleinsasser before today
According to Lifer if he agrees with you, you must be wrong
Rather slow day here. Happy Good Friday and enjoy the Easter weekend all.
Finally get Masters and they blow the horn.
Skol brother!
Is this you Skolly?
Four-round 2023 NFL mock draft 2.0: Raiders trade back into Round 1 for QB; Chiefs move up for WR
Not a fan of the pick, or that he has the Vikings only selecting the RD1 QB and a RD4 CB.
No way Kwesi settles for 2 picks in the first 4 rounds.
We should be all over this for a 3rd round pick….
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/07/trey-lance-could-use-a-fresh-start/
Has ND ever produced a good NFL player?
He was NDSU.
Not too sure. Billy Turner was at least an average OL guy for a few years.
I just meant the state. I guess Lance is from MN though. That might be worser.
Kleinsasser
Well apparently you’ve never hear of Jimmy Kleinsasser
Nice call, Ben-jam-it-in!
LOL, that’s good.
Who?
I saw him at a restaurant in DT Minneapolis (pre-war zone days) one time. Dude is enormous.
I had a teacher that had taught him in HS. Said he was a really nice kid.
He was a huge pot-head in college. I have a friend who played at UND with him briefly.
Well UND obviously a higher caliber player will come out of UND. Finest med school in the country as well.
Phil Hansen was a very good, though unspectacular player for the Bills back in the 90’s.
Phil Hansen! I have not thought of that name in years. I think he was a member of one of my church’s sister churches back in the day, so theoretically, I could have tracked him there and had an “in” for a conversation starter.
“So…Phil…how about that ‘real presence’ thing, eh?”
Kleinssaser was a beast! Can’t believe you forgot about him.
Meh, just a FB, nothing important about that.
Early in his career he was more of a traditional TE and was good enough at the position to be Franchised Tagged one year if I recall. Later on in the Favre years, he was more of just a role player FB/HB though.
Yeah, I’m just being a smart ass to try and not have to work.
Whatever floats your boat, blow-munch……..
I agree so you must be wrong.
We need to do SOMETHING at the position this offseason. FA, Trade, or Draft. Problem with this scenario is you know SF is going to way overvalue Lance–because they were the ones who traded up and blew the high pick on the kid.
I agree 100% we have to take the best chance at a developmental QB as possible. I detailed a possibility of a Hunter for Lance swap below this morning.
It would be beyond fantastic to get a raw talented player like Lance to mold for a year under Cousins.
You’re probably right Shanny likely would want to save face and try to get some picks for Lance beyond a 4th and maybe even more than a player of Hunters caliber.
…
He’s afraid of milk? This guy is an all around weirdo freak.
I love Kraft Cucumber Ranch on mashed potatoes…
I like it on baked potatoes.
I’m glad I am not the only one who knows of this tasty combination!
Be nice to us 🙂 Mick’s mic was legit. Next audio will be better from Brad and I. New mic comes tomorrow.

None of you sound at all like you do in my dreams…and fantasies…
LOL!
Let me guess, you guys sit around and talk about the same shit as here everyday?
Yeah pretty much but another way to capture other people and lure them in to the thread.
Yeah, well I’m gonna listen to it anyway
want To be on it sometime?
Sure, depending on scheduling
IN AUDIO FORM!
It is nice to put a voice with the name.
Can I be on the next podcast?
Sure
Do you have call-in ability or you have to be in person?
We have the power for remote.
This is true.
I watched Goonies the other day, it holds up well.
Mick has a nice and smooth radio voice. Well done, gents!
Face too
You should see Mick’s cock.
Kwesi: “Hey Tobin, I hear you’re in the market for a RB………..”
Imagine what they would charge Dennis with.
Filling gas in the metropolis of Glendive.
Cheapest gas in the state! (Probably cheaper than ND, too).
Grocery shopping yesterday. Saw a fairly hot older sloot bagging her groceries in the lane next to me.
Me: “You know, a pretty gal like yourself ought to have a man to bag her groceries…..”
Sloot: (laughs) “He’s at at home, watching The Masters…”
Me: “Well next time you see me–I’m gonna have my PGA Card, babe!”
F-you, Fat-face.
The man to bag your groceries line has been my go-to for 20+ years.
What is its success rate?
Curious for a friend.
2 out of 3
7/10, easy.
I used the same logic at the gym.
You see a hot chick–go ask her out. If she says yes–you got a date. If she says no–you take out the aggression on your next set.
If you can pull 3/10 numbers w/it–you’re HOF level in baseball.
I used to pull 6/10 being conservative.
Real men to work bagging groceries its a dumb line lol
I would have just asked her if she wanted help.
Crazy, I know.
It isn’t about helping her–it’s about telling her she’s pretty, moran.
If she needs that attention for validation she aint worth it
Or you can make somebody’s day w/very little effort. So there’s that.
Sure you can, in a less creepy way than hitting on them at the grocery store. There’s a time and a place. Her immediately telling you she had a husband at home was her nice way of telling you to fuck off lol.
LOL, no it wasn’t. She loved it/appreciated it and told me as much, moran.
They’re just jealous of your game Cane.
Pulling in close and sniffing their hair is another good way of telling them you’re interested………
Ok Joe, whatever you say.
I heard licking their finger is another solid move.
Ewwwwwww. Did he REALLY?
Just for fun since Viking news is non-existent we should write a How To Pick Up Women manual, full of just such helpful tips.
When picking up a woman, always lift with your legs…
If you’re committed enough, you can make any story work. I once convinced a woman to sleep with me because I was Jared Allen, and it worked because I believed it.
Dude is clearly a cannibal. For years, there have been rumors of the elites engaging in human sacrifice. This is proof…
Creepy fuck.
My fav…that look of determination gets me every time.
Is italics the sarcasm font?
Sarcasm is assumed
Yep. By offering to help her, it’s saying she is attractive by not saying it.
Yikes, thats some cringe/creepy shit to say to a woman you dont know if that actually happened
Telling a gal she is pretty is creepy/cringey?
GFY, snowflake.
Lmao!!!!
Heh heh you could hide user names and I would immediately recognize this as a Cane story. I mean, you could just tell her she’s beautiful although my rule of thumb is never say something to a woman that I wouldn’t say if my wife was standing there (for the record at a party I told a friend of ours she looked hot meaning attractive with my wife standing next to me and my wife’s feedback was – she was ok with it and knew it wasn’t sexual but be careful who you say that to). For that matter, living in a small town again one thing has changed and that is that I now realize every single person in the county knows who I am simply because I am a local MD. So I keep my commentary close to my chest. Sounds like this lady was accepting of your compliment but my wife has gotten compliments and leers from strangers in stores and for the record she does not enjoy that even if the guy looks like Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson. Cuz there is a creepy factor to someone saying pretty gal you need a man to bag your groceries. Next up he follows you to your car and asks for your number. Next up he whips out his cock and starts masturbating. You know how it goes in Glendive.
Next up he follows you to your car and asks for your number. Next up he whips out his cock and starts masturbating.
Son of a bitch–you were following us!
LOL! Nice.
hurricane is still of that time and age that believes any comment he so bestows on someone of the opposite sex is not only received well, but also the start of a porn movie.
I dont think people grow out of that stage if they were ever in it.
They say whatever age you become famous–is what you stay your whole life fwiw……
And also of that time and age where I DGAF whether or not my comment is received well or not……so pound sand, flab-face…..
You didnt just tell her she was pretty, you told her she needs a man to help her bag her groceries and that you are going to see each other again via a lame joke. And you called her babe. Allegedly. She doesn’t know you and this is in public. If it was in a bar or something, different story.
Again, only to someone living in a clown world (like you obviously do).
Why don’t you go work on deciding your pronouns or something. Perhaps you’ll choose to identify as a plant………..
Can I identify as a millionaire and the government has to make it so?
Do they actually have to make you a millionaire, or do they just have to mandate that everyone else treat you like you are?
Make me a millionaire. How are people supposed to treat me like one, ie give me expensive things, if I don’t have millions?
I guess they are trying now by destroying the country to the point that the dollar is worth nothing so with inflation everybody will be a millionaire soon. A dozen eggs will soon cost 50 bucks.
I’m going along the lines that I’m supposed to treat Kyle like Kylie, when (s)he still has a penis.
That’s fine, I don’t need the money, but when I want an expensive bow because I am a millionaire in my mind then it should be given to me. I also will not be going to a job every day and the bank is not allowed to take my house from me because I am a millionaire and don’t deal with peasant things like mortgages.
Lol you have such a fragile ego dude! Why dont you go ask your dad why he never loved you and thinks you’re a failure? See I can generalize about people I dont know too. Tard.
Welp, now you just crossed the line with that “tard” insult. GF bans for that on here–FYI.
But I don’t need to generalize anything to know I’d kick 7 different kinds of dog shit out of you, Mary…..
When I was tending bar back in college, I successfully used the “Have you ever heard of the Make-A-Wish Foundation? I’ve always wanted to date a beautiful woman like you before I die, and the doctor says I’ve only got 75 years left on Earth.”
Chicago
Minneapolis with a look at US Bank Stadium.
Nowadays you are almost as likely to get shot in either place…..
Very true

LOL, old busted ass hooker for the Vikings, sounds great
I don’t think vikings draft a qb.
If Kwesi ignores the QB transition for a second offseason in a row (remember it is usually the FIRST thing a new GM does when arriving)–his time here is probably going to be pretty short.
Why?
I just dont think they swing for a 1st round qb this draft.
I personally think Clayton Tune would be a solid choice. Especially for the capital involved to get him.
But..
I do not run the Vikings.
Next year take the swing we have holes to fill.
Hookers a hole filler
For the right price anyway.
It doesn’t have to be 1st round. Just like it didn’t have to be first round last year either. Point is they did nothing. They also opted to do nothing regarding the transition in free agency either. If you don’t have your QB of the future–everything you are doing as the new GM is simply spinning your wheels. As for the 2024 draft, if drafting a QB in the first round then is their “all eggs in one basket” move for filling QB–that’s really dumb and not a good plan.
I think Kirk will be here this year and next year.
Just posturing righ tnow.
Again…I like Tune as a flier in the mid round.
Tune or Hooker. I could go for either. I hope they get one.
This year–of course. He’s under contract and nobody wants him.
Next year? Again, it wouldn’t make sense for the new GM to stick with a guy from the prior regime. Typically, the new GM gets his guy year 1 right away. He didn’t last year and we’ll see this year. He is setting himself up for failure the longer he waits IMO.
They should be trying to address the position before its a major need. Waiting until you don’t have a QB leads to reaches like Ponder.
They knew and know Kirk was not their guy from the get-go though. It is more about finding the dude to strap your future employment as a GM to then it is just having a warm body in the position like it presently is with Kirk. No one cares about that.
Agreed. They should be trying all options to find the next guy, not re-signing Mullen. Hell, I would have rather them sign Wentz as the backup than Mullen.
LOL. Mullens is a never-will-be. Wentz is a never-was. Same difference, both suck. I’d have gone after a young guy who showed some flashes like White.
I still say they should draft one this year and trade the Jets for Wilson.
Drafting one this year would be smarter than doing nothing (again).
Wilson blows though. I’d have rather signed somebody like Mike White this offseason.
I just throw Wilson out there because he has the talent to have been drafted high and is still young. Maybe sitting behind Kirk will help him process the field, maybe not. If you can get him cheap then take the chance. I would absolutely try to draft one this year though too. Worst case you end up with 2 good QBs. Or even worse, Kirk is MVP this year and takes the Vikings to the SB and you end up with 3. Big deal, extend Cousins and sit on the rookie for a couple years.
Wilson had issues coming out of BYU that made me not care for him. I was never impressed.
Probably.
I just didn’t buy the hype on him that draft.
I think it was mostly that he was one of the best QBs that year and that automatically pushes them to the top of the draft. Sort of like the Mariotta Winston year.
Partly yes, but at least those guys went to more power-house schools in Oregon and FSU.
I thought the Daniel Jones pick by the Giants was also ridiculous being that he went to fucking Duke.
At least they didn’t trade up to draft somebody with almost no starting experience from North Carolina.
Oh man, did I hate that guy. He is another reason why you should NEVER buy into preseason production/hype for a rookie QB either.
Watch that be the only QB move Kwesi makes this year. Trade Pittsburgh for the turd. Hey, we could have Turdberry snapping to Turdbiscuit I guess.
They’d never do that. There are still plenty of people left in the org here that were here during Trubs’ run in Chicago. He was vomit-inducing bad. I remember the game we knocked him out and it ended up costing us the game (cuz Chase Daniel was better and beat us). LOL, only the Vikings.
Last year’s QB class was ass, we’ll see if they take anyone this year though.
Sure, but they also chose not to do anything via trade or free agency for the future of the position.
They extended Kirk a year, my guess is they planned to do something this offseason either with a longer Kirk extension or in the draft, we’ll see though.
I actually understood that extension because it was necessary for cap flexibility needed after Spielman fucked them in that respect. I don’t fault Kwesi for giving Kirk that one more year. I looked at it as means to an end. There should be now way he extends Kirk again though. It would make no sense for Kwesi’s long term employment here as GM. You want “your guy” at QB. Not the leftover…….
That’s why Lamar is coming post 6/1
No. Kwesi wants flexibility and control. Not to pay an injury prone running back who can throw the ball guaranteed money. If he wanted to stay in the guaranteed contract game, he would just extend Kirk.
Hahahahaha
I agree they had no choice last year and not a great class, I’m hopeful there plan was to extend Kirk one year and draft sometime this year
They could have traded for Russell, that worked out well.
I guess sometimes you MAKE a shot you don’t take……..
The legend. Love that guy.
Tune sucks
Lol
Is he still recovering from an ACL injury? Probably worth a try at #23. Put him on the roster and see what he can do.
Yeah, he’s walking and throwing in a limited capacity at least. He’s trying to be ready for training camp I think. Best case would be to let him sit for a year, fully heal, learn, and then take over next year. The Vikings are one of the ideal spots for him because there wouldn’t be a bunch of screams for him to play, unless Kirk gets hurt of course.
and we still have Mullens on the roster, correct?
Yeah
Kirk was like 29 when the Vikings signed him and that feels like ages ago now. Assuming Hooker ends up being good, being set at QB for 15 years is a pretty long time. They would be set until 2038.
Eh, even with Kirk healthy 2023 is a bust season. No ones going to be screaming. Or rather, they shouldnt be.
Then sounds like a good time to get a QB and start preparing for the future to me.
Would you be happy getting Mahomes right now on a rookie deal and not worry about his age? I’m guessing that’s a yes. He’s 3 years older than Hooker. If they think Hooker is going to be good they should get him and not look back. 15 years of being set at QB is still better than what they have had.
I like Hooker. My #2.
Idk I’m starting to think now they may not go QB and extend Kirk later. Which I’m fine with too.
brining in zero QBs is weird for top 30 visit
I found only 15 of the attendees yesterday – maybe there’s a QB among the remaining 15????
They met with Levis and Richardson at the combine, right?
Have a good day everyone 😁👍
LOL, ok trannycrusher
Mental illness should be treated, not encouraged.
Yes. Exactly.
And no one can force me to participate in their mental illness.
How do you treat this one. I keep saying that said but you offer nothing of substance. How do you “treat” that? I think the biggest treatment is being accepting of people and then they’ll feel comfortable in their own skin and don’t feel the need to try and physically change under knife or hormones. Either provide some idea of what that means or admit that’s just your veiled way of not actually caring.
Let’s get more down votes from the same people who 50-60 years ago would have also down voted integrating schools and allowing women to vote before that 😂
Democrats are the ones that voted against those things.
Shhhh…no facts allowed.
Does it say Democrats and Republicans or Conservatives? Republicans were very different back then and you know it.
Oh yeah, the party swap BS. One of Joe Biden’s best friends in congress was a former leader of the KKK, also a democrat, but please tell me how the Republicans were the bad ones. Pretty sure it was a democrat who voted against integrating schools because he didn’t want his kids living in a “racial jungle.” I can’t remember who that was, do you?
Dems and Republicans are so brain washed. I crap on one they assume I have to support the other. I don’t. Biden is a old man racist just like Trump. Difference is Biden’s crimes bill hurt way more people of color than anything Trump has done. Keep lying to yourself about this. Conservative people (not saying Dem or Republican) are typically the ones opposing change like women voting and such because the Bible thinks women are dirty trash other than Mary.
Hey Edge, before I forget….
Happy Good Friday!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter Weekend!
Thanks you too! Speaking of facts about Easter… Enjoy your Ishtar! LOL
Let’s say women couldn’t vote and School’s were just starting to get integrated. If that were happening today which group would most likely oppose it? We all know the answer to this. It’s telling though to see if you are being honest or not. That’s not to say liberals aren’t full of dumb shit too but this one is the conservative’dumb shit.
That makes me think of this
Classic! 🤣
I missed where Kid Rock was demanding, crying, whining and having parades funded by governments in his quest to be called Kid Rock.
And calling somebody a different name is not the same as pretending somebody does or doesn’t have something between their legs.
Yep.
Tiger Woods being called Tiger rather than Eldrick, is the exact same thing as a guy wanting to have a pussy and play in womens sports. Apparently.
My favorite actor is still Marion Morrison.
Pffft, way to change the argument. Nice strawman there.
Nobody working on Good Friday I see….
Slow day for me, working from home.
Nope. Currently at MDW in Chicago headed to Murderopolis. Picking up my Mom and headed back to DE for Easter.
Busy busy.
welcome to the motherland
working both jobs.
One more week and I am back to one job.
Same. Been doing 70 hours a week ish since February
Off til Tuesday
Here’s the RB I’d love to see the Vikings pick.
Israel Abanikanda
this guy is smooth coming in and out of cuts and you can see his speed on tape.
Love the yards after contact. He’d do.
Me too.
and the draft capital it would cost to get him.
hes gknna he a sneaky good pick for someone
He doesn’t look like a consistent homerun hitter like AP and Cook were, but he will move the chains and get into the EZ.
was cool a consistent home run hitter?
he was/is a good back but nowhere near AP’s league.
No, definitely not nearly as consistent as AP, but I had much higher expectations that he would bust a long one pre-ACL than now.
Abanikanda looks like a powerful runner, but takes a bit to get up to top speed. He’ll be caught from behind by most DBs…..after gaining 20 yards.
He sucks
perfect fit fot the rest of em.
Why, they suck too?
6’4 and runs a 4.3 40?
hellllloooooo Matt Landers
Lot of comparable numbers here… especially with the size.
I’m 6’4′
I think I am a bit slower, however.
Gm.
FTP.
What about Hunter for Lance straight up?
He looks really slow.
Just great tempo that’s all. 😁
My son got to play against Trey in baseball and basketball, his senior year. Very gifted athlete, but he was pretty small as a Junior in high school. Didn’t get to see Tray play his senior year, as my son did not play football and that was all Trey played his senior year.
Bust
Bust you say?
What is Huntet worth?
Three weeks from today I will be complaining that the Vikings either failed to draft a QB or they took the wrong one.
Here you go….you can practice.
I cannot really complain about that mock, since I do not know who most of those guys are.
But I can still rage!
Qwesi needs a solid draft or he’s a bust. I have a three-year limit with GMs and coaches. Do something at least on the cusp of greatness by year three or take a hike. No need to hold on to guys for half a decade if they aren’t flashing.
Good Morning!
TGIFF!
And of course, FTP!
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
Good morning!
FTP! FT*!
