Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
We made it to Minneapolis, and made it to the hotel without getting carjacked! After getting checked in, the fam & I went to Oceanaire for dinner, and it was absolutely amazing. If you’re in town & want a good place to eat, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It isn’t a cheap place to eat, so get ready to spend a bit, but it’s worth it, IMO. On the way back to the room, we stopped by Candyland for some snacks & popcorn, and I also highly recommend stopping there if you’re in town.
We’re heading over to the Timberwolves-Bucks game tonight, which will be the first NBA game any of us has attended, so it should be fun. We picked this game because my son’s favorite player plays for the Bucks, but unfortunately, that player is ‘injured’ so we won’t be able to see him play. Oh well, we’ll have fun anyway.
On Thursday, we’re visiting U.S. Bank Stadium for a tour of the joint before we head back home. I’ve been to many games at this stadium, but have never gotten a tour. I hope they allow us to take pictures. If so, I’ll do a post on here to share it with y’all.

New thread, I’ll update the mythical words up top, but here’s the thread for now.
NBA games move slow, too many commercial timeouts.
That is true of all televised sports.
Wolves have 15, Edwards has 13 of those.
Pretty fun event, glad we came.
Word to the wise, do NOT buy tickets ahead of time for a T Wolves game. We could have gotten much better tickets for less $$$$ if we would have bought them today.
Shoulda brought the binoculars.
Sunset over a dying city.
Nice picture.
City was dying before the riots and covid put the nail in the coffin.
It just got expedited.
Enjoy the game tonight!
I’m still shocked at how much the downtown deteriorated. I know 10 years is a long time, but damn.
Woke up today feeling rather conservative and did a couple of political things. Felt good, even wore my MAGA hat around a bit. That felt good. But then I came here and read some comments. I like disagreements and arguments, to a point and they shouldn’t get personal.
Now I sleep well at night because we have guys like NLV, aka MR PENTAGON today, who give us 50 years of their lives, serve all over the world in very dangerous places so I and all of us can do that. And I appreciate all the veterans who served.
And if you can’t tell by now, I don’t appreciate some limp dick draft dodging asshole make a comment like “Mr Pentagon” for the sake of belittleing slomeone else to win an argument. And spare me the it was made in humor and all that bullshit.
If I get throw off this site for saying this, so be it. NLV thank you for your service.
I think you are taking things a little too personally. I highly doubt that NLNVF gives a rat’s ass about what anyone has to say about him or his service on this football site. This is just a place where we all come to discuss football. I won’t act deferentially to a veteran or LEO or teacher or toilet scrubber on the topics of football. I sure AF don’t expect anyone to lick my balls because I have a couple of initials after my name. Now, if Troy Aikman came on here and started wowing us with football knowledge I might defer to his knowledge of things.
Calling people names on a discussion board can either be taken as good humored banter or as originating from a prick. If it is the latter that says more about the prick than the person getting called out. It’s just not worth it to get personally vested in the banter.
I also doubt any of us are of an age to be draft dodgers. Myself, I didn’t enter the country until I was 22 and by the time I became eligible for selective service I was aged out.
Not personal – I wasn’t attacked. And I suppose I use the term draft dodger inartfully as I simply mean those who didn’t serve. There was a draft in my day. Regardless, and no problem with me of those that didn’t – none of my kids did.
But when someone who didn’t serve choses to dispearage someone who did with reference to his service, in a FOOTBALL argument, I have a problem with that. It’s a cheap shot and totally uncalled for.
Perhaps I shouldn’t get “vested” as you say, but I spent my life with and working with military people. Sticking up for and supporting them is just part of my DNA and unlikely to change.
JR, that was kind, and caring post, and I appreciate it. You are very good man. You and I are men of a certain age, and we clearly do not agree on everything, but we conduct ourselves with decorum, even when we disagree.
Yes, on an internet blog, folks get nasty, insulting, denigrating, etc We both consider this beyond the pale, and unnecessary. I find it boorish, but it’s blog.
Remember, people fire for effect when they have nothing else to offer.
I don’t like LA Dodgers, either.
Why? When I see someone abusing a checkout clerk should I just lighten up and look the other way? So if I see someone here taking a cheap shop at someone else here, just look the other way and ignore it.
But I guess since the guy here that was being the ass was on the same side of the argument as you, it’s OK to look the other way. How convenient for you.
And it’s interesting you would show the picture of a military guy given the very point I was making about military service.
Perhaps someday you and I should exchange bona fides and then decide who should provide council to whom.
You want to back people acting like jerks, your choice. But don’t suggest I should except such. No way in hell I’m going to except woke ass behavior.
damn. I guess you are just a grumpy old man.
The military pic is just a great quote from a fun movie. I would tell you to relax, but you are obviously in the mood to be angry.
NLNVF has been very condescending to those who question the ability of Saint Kirk.
So, I have absolutely no issues with someone calling him out on occasion.
Enjoy your rage. Yell at some clouds, maybe they will change for you.
English is hard. I didn’t object with someone disagreeing with NLV over your Saint Kirk, but rather that person choosing to attack him personally through his military record. Because that person was on the same side of the argument as you, I guess you had no problem with the methods, I do.
So to you that makes me a ‘grumpy old man’ and I can go in the same bucket as your ‘ very condescending NLV’ label. This is indeed quite a day and maybe I’ll just enjoy a few “clouds” today.
Just ignore the ‘limp dick draft dodging assholes’ by ‘considering the source’.
They/he are/is not worth engaging with.
That is better for your health overall.
Probably, But my best friend a retired Marine Colonel died yesterday and wasn’t about to hear someone take a cheap shot at a military guy.
Google changes to Gulf of America !
Love it.
Just think,
Only 7 more months of me complaining about Kirk until we have real football to talk about again.
Ha, yup! The silly season is fun, isn’t it?
Yes. Saw a proposal JJ to Jets for their #7. Nonstop clickbait shit.
Well, if we did that we could pick up a #7, and get Cousins back on the cheap!
Lets do it!!!!!!
The ugly rumor that got my blood pressure going, is once Kirko is canned/released, he comes back here on the cheap to help guide JJ.
I almost threw up
Kirk. 3 years, $150 mil, guaranteed, no trade clause.
Just wait until Kwesi signs him to a one year deal for the league minimum.
So I am curious: Why does everybody love Teddy and think he was such a good QB? In his best year, it appears he had 18 TDs and 7 picks (Broncos). He was nearly even with TD’s and INT’s a few years. His passes were mostly all lobs with no zip, IMO. I don’t remember being all that impressed, but I think everyone HOPED he would be good, and then the injury left a “what if”. But he was not good.
Always thought he was maybe a QB2. JMO.
Yes, backup at best. Not atrocious, but just not good. Which is why I think it’s so funny that people give Kirk such a hard time and call him bad. He was twice the QB Teddy ever was, IMO.
Teddy didnt over extend his welcome or hold the team hostage financially for half a decade. Probably has something to do with it.
Front office didn’t have to cave to his demands/requests for pay. Hate Rick for that.
Yep, Rick was not a smart general manager
True. Got me there.
Teddy never ruined the teams ability to build a roster with stupid salary and contract structure demands.
Kirko is hated by me and millions of ALT/Vikings/Redskins fans for doing just that.
Blame Rick for being dumb, then.
I do. I thought Rick was the stupidest front office hire ever.
Glad the team moved on.
Yeah, I hate him way more than a lot of players that didn’t pan out, mostly because he should have known better in many cases.
Agreed. I dont understand the undying love for Teddy either. World class, actual genuine human being that every loved behind closed doors and at the podium. But his passing left a lot to be desired. He was looking great in preseason in 2016 but his history after that is all a lot of what could have been. I was fine moving on from him when we did.
I like him as a person, good guy to cheer for. Never under the delusion that he was a Hall of Famer, but his trajectory was upward prior to the injury. You’re right, a lot of “what ifs”. I do think he is a class A person.
Teddy was an upgrade over Ponder. It really was that simple for me.
I wanted him to be better than he was, but he was an easy guy to root for.
We never got a chance to hate him because of ridiculous salary demands (Kirk) and his knee exploded before he could give us a reason to dislike him.
2016 looked to be a good year, building the team around a rookie qb contract.
I am ready for that to finally happen again.
Kirk was an upgrade over any QB we’ve had since Favre, and even much longer before that if you don’t include Favre’s short tenure.
I can agree with that, but he was still massively overpaid for what he brought to the team. Just because he was the best out of a bunch of misses and injured players, does not make him great.
His pay was top 10. His play is not top 10.
I agree he was overpaid in retrospect, but you pay for the market (and an admitted big upgrade), and potential. It was an experiment that failed, like all other signings and drafts, etc.
I thought Teddy was a good person and a QB with potential.
Agreed! I loved Teddy as a person, as a leader, and he was an O.K. QB.
His deep outs lacked zip, he had nowhere near the arm talent as Cousins or Darnold, but he was a huge upgrade over Ponder.
Fun fact for the day. The roof of Target Center is covered in grass.
That’s weird.
It’s cool…literally. See JV’s post above.
One of the Ford manufacturing plants has grass on the roof. It keeps the building 10-15 degrees cooler in the summer.
I am sure that keeping the place cool is a primary concern up there in Minn.
Have you ever been there in July? It gets hot in the Target Center. I think it also helps keep it warm in the winter. Added insulation, I guess. I just remember seeing the Ford plant on Modern Marvels or some show similar to that.
Yeah, it’s legit, and generally energy-friendly as well.
I was reading about that, too. Interesting.
Modern Marvels was such a good show. When the History and Discovery Channels actually had educational programming and didnt turn into trash reality TV like all cable.
I agree. There was some good stuff on there years ago.
Early 2000s was what I remember most.
I’m old enough to remember when Music Television (MTV) played music
Haha yeah, and VH1
VH1 was still around when I was surfing channels on my own
How it is Made is one of my favorites, along with Dirty Jobs.
Yup, it gets hot and humid a couple of weeks a year.
That is cool!
Do they water it?
Could someone release a few mice and snakes up there just to add some excitement?? asking for a friend.
We’re just trying to kill a few hours before the game, but it’s not possible down here. Unless you wanna go to Target. I’d rather slam my dick in a patio door.
It’s on Fanduel, will try and see you. Dress in blaze orange, be helpful. Guessing Ant goes for 30-40.
We’re in the nosebleeds, I think we’re in the 300s section.
Kiddo is wearing a Bucks jersey, I’m wearing a fishing T-shirt.
‘slam my dick in a patio door’
There is a visual I didn’t need today.
@thanks@
Hey now, don’t go disparaging Target. Once you live 200 miles from a Target for a few years you will see the error of your ways. I love that store. Had one only a couple of blocks from our home in Rochester, you could get everything you need in there and be checked out in under fifteen minutes.
Sure, but not a place to go for enjoyment whilst on vacation.
Agree to disagree
Target in downtown MSP is mostly under lock to prevent to thievery….
I am not proud of myself. I am in a bad mood and trolling people on X because I am out to watch things burn today.
Yet, it is kind of fun.
One guy said…
“We never should have let him attend the Super Bowl. If you think it is okay to spend $20 million on that but cut cancer research, you need to do some soul searching…”
I said…
“You are right. We never should have let Paul Rudd attend the Super Bowl. Totally not worth it, in retrospect…”
It cheered me up a little! I’m going to get a cheeseburger. That should help.
My wife got into a FB slap fight with a med school classmate of mine, he was virtue signaling that as a EM physician in MN he encounters many traumatized trans men and women, and that he stands by trans women being allowed to compete in women’s sports. My wife said that trans women are ruining women’s sports, and all that women fought for years to achieve in sports. His reply was that cis women are on a spectrum, some are stronger and more athletic than others, and that trans women are also on a spectrum. Apparently as an EM physician he worries not a whit that “real” girls can get injured or suffer emotional trauma after a beatdown in a competition with a “fake” girl … it is all about the trauma of a trans women not being allowed to play sports with her peers. My wife suggested the formation of a trans sporting league, probably have enough interest in MN. Then he digressed into the emotional trauma he suffered in dealing with his sexuality, which makes me laugh as he was popular and good looking and I doubt he wanted for attention from either gender in the dating realm.
Maybe he is Virtue Signaling because he prefers Trans Women??
Not ‘shaming’, just pointing out possible motives.
Is it just me, or is Minneapolis less busy than it used to be? Downtown traffic is almost nonexistent.
Just go for a nice circle drive on 494 and 694 at 5.
Downtown Minneapolis is a shadow of its former self…most of the shopping stores have closed…..Liberal Woke management at its finest….turns everything to crap.
Maybe Canada should buy Minnesota?
I’m really shocked. I haven’t been here in years, but it’s totally different. Nothing here downtown except corporate clowns walking around looking miserable.
We were hoping to walk around and find a little bit of shopping, but there’s nothing. The candy store was cool.
I will go with Answer C: Both.
People and businesses have left in droves. Add in the liberals who wanted less law enforcement. These same fucking idiots complain if they call 911 and no one shows. MPLS is fly over country to me.
it seems that rioting and looting are bad for business?
Getting into suburbs too. Closings, staffing issues, shoplifting.
Wow. I’m really surprised. I knew it changed, but not this month.
Truly shocking. We just need to kill a few hours, and there is absolutely nothing down here. We have no desire to drive anywhere. I guess we’re going to the fitness room and kill an hour working out.
When heading back to Dakota? Friday?
Tomorrow. We’re doing a stadium tour at 10 AM then we’re heading out.
No customers and insanely high taxes (or rent) are bad for business, too. College professors are going to have to rewrite all the economics textbooks.
We haven’t really been here since 2018, and haven’t spent long stretches of time in the city since 2014, the changes are shocking
I just realized it was Wednesday, not Tuesday, I fixed the words up top
Looks like you caught it before anyone could call you out for it.
Good Job!
I’m pretty sure it is Tuesday, given the dominant topic of conversation.
LOL
Happy Birthday Abe.
Happy Hump Day! 🐫

i so much enjoy soda slut
So watching the House Oversight Committee subcommittee war on waste hearing, the Dem’s are just attacking Trump and DOGE endlessly on their “wrecking ball” methodology and highlighting how all these program cuts will ruin peoples lives. They have charts, and powerpoint slides and they are screaming about how people are losing jobs, “Government services protections and safety nets” etc. These are the Oversight Committee members responsible for getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse.
All I can say is, these people do more to enable fraud, waste, and abuse then get rid of it. I hope more Americans are watching this and garnering this same perspective.
All they have is histrionics to try and save their gravy train.
This is true. But America stood up on November 5th, and told them to STFU. Unfortunately, their mouths are so big, they get in the way of their ears.
So as we witnessed a couple times in Super Bowls with Mahomes, no matter how good a QB is, without a great O-line, they are ordinary, and even subpar. The fact is the Vikings interior O-line has been a weak point for many years. Many attempts in the draft and free agency have been made to rectify this glaring issue, including drafting Garrett Bradbury in the first round with the 18th overall pick in the 2019 draft. Still the Vikings QB get pounded every game it seems at the crucial moments, right up the middle.
This year, with McCarthy looking to start, KAM needs to fix this.
It helps when you have a decisive QB, the Vikings haven’t had that in many years. Teddy was the last one we had.
That’s a cop out GF. The Chiefs have a generational QB. He was completely ineffective without O-line protection. Decisive? If a throw is there, and the QB has protection, every NFL QB will be decisive. Even when protection isn’t good, a QB can still be decisive when the throw is there. What we see is before a QB can get to a read or a throw, and be “decisive” he is under siege. That is the fact of the matter.
What I don’t understand is, why KOC insists on long developing plays given the lack of a solid O-line?
Putting duck-tape on a weak line might win you some regular season games but it will fail you against playoff quality defenses.
Get a better IOL and KOC can run whatever plays he wants. Seems like simple logic to me, wonder what I am missing?
Nothing is easy SoCal. As I mentioned, the list of players the Vikings have brought in via the draft and free agency to fix the IOL over the years, is quite lengthy. The GM is responsible for building the team. There are a lot of in’s and out’s in that regard, with the draft, free agency, and trades. Andy Reid went out after losing to the Bucs in the Super Bowl, and rebuilt his line. He will likely make some moves in this off season too, although the Chiefs had some significant O-line injuries this year.
It can be done, if it’s a priority, and the right guy is doing it.
I get that they have tried and mostly failed.
My question is about KOC once he knows that his IOL is the weakness continues to use his long developing scheme. Is he ‘hoping’ that it will hold up long enough for the QB to get the pass off enough to be successful?
Hope is seldom a good strategy.
I have plenty of criticism regarding KOC’s play design, scheme, and play calling. From a pure QBing perspective it is one of the hardest in the NFL to execute. In their second year in the system, Cousins and the receivers were finally gelling, and Cousins was leading the league in TD’s and second I believe in yards, when he went down with his Achilles. He was on track to have a great year, and probably his best year ever.
Why KOC runs the plays he runs, knowing his QB is at risk, I don’t know. Arians was the same way and when Brady went to the Bucs, he was getting sacked and pressured a lot. He was holding the ball, and it wasn’t working. He went to Arians and told him the offense needed to be changed, and to his credit, Arians did so.
Yeah, when ‘The Goat’ suggests a change it is logical to listen to him.
Yeah, I mentioned a few weeks ago that Cousins was on MVP pace and people claimed I was wrong or lying. He was doing great before his injury, stat-wise, top-5 and even leading in several categories I think.
And he would have finished like 10th in MVP voting. So no, he wasnt going to be an MVP. And to assume he would have kept that pace (never has in 10 + years in the league) was laughable at best. Fighting against history is a losing battle. So yes, you were wrong stating that. Take the L.
Haha, feisty and wrong today, huh KFEY?
MVP pace doesn’t mean for sure he would win. You can’t assume he wasn’t going to keep that pace, just like I can’t assume he was. Regardless, he was legitimately leading some stats and was playing better than other “MVP candidates” at the time, and that is a fact, like NLNVF said.
Sam Darnold caught lightning in a bottle for one year, like Case Keenum seemed to do as well. Perhaps that was Kirk’s year to surprise everyone, but we’ll never know. Regardless, he was playing like a top-5 QB that season.
They definitely need to beef up the interior offensive line. He may have to do it via free agency this year.
I agree GF. Gotta give McCarthy a chance.
I’m not sure how much of it was the play calling, and how much it was Donald not throwing the ball. There were a few plays in the Lions game where he had a wide open receiver, and didn’t pull the trigger.
I agree with this take. In that game, Sam was slow on draw as it were.
Yep, I think people give him more credit than maybe he deserves sometimes.
Didn’t help that the Chiefs receivers consistently dropped easy passes or failed to get open at all.
Hmmmm…. yes, receivers drop passes. Yes receivers fail to get open too. All QB’s face these circumstances. All QB’s have to deal with pressure and faulty O-lines as well. It takes a team to win, and no QB can overcome it. You saw it in two Super Bowls with Mahomes. QB’s can’t succeed without their teammates.
QB WINZ. Mahomes clearly sucks under pressure as he was blown out, had 2 picks, and got sacked like 6+ times.
Then you’d have to ignore the two previous Super Bowl wins, though.
Mahomes has 3 Super Bowl wins, and has been there 5 times.
He has played in the AFC championship game 7 straight times since becoming a starter.
As a QB, he does lift the team and elevate the play of those around him.
Even more impressive, is that there are games where he is THE main reason the team wins.
There are a handful of QBs that can do that that are playing today.
Kirko is not one of them, and never has been. I am glad his career is pretty much over once he gets a Russel Wilson type chance next season.
He should be good at announcing. Nobody should be trying to tackle him while he is just talking.
No, it isn’t. Kirk sucked at getting rid of the ball, that’s why he got sacked so damn much.I’m same with Donald
Shhhh, Kirk does not wrong GF! He is perfect and with out fault or question! AND IS A PROVEN PRODUCT!
LOL, I’ve noticed.
I just have to disagree here GF. Cousins is one of the fastest processors in the league. If the throw is there, he makes it on time. Are there exceptions to that? Sure there are. Sometimes you just aren’t sure if the throw is actually “there”.
KOC doesn’t run a West Coast scheme with timing routes that allow a QB to be decisive. He makes the QB read the defense AND the receivers, which ends up looking like the QB is holding the ball.
Sorry, but this is totally delusional
Actually it’s factual GF. He was tested, and scored amongst the highest ever.
Was anyone blitzing when he was tested?
I test well with no pressure
Surly, there isn’t a QB in the league who can’t beat the blitz. We have seen Cousins stand in there and take massive hits, while delivering strikes. The problem arises for all QB’s when they’re pressured and there is nowhere to go with the ball.
I do not expect this kind of response from you GF. You are mature, sensible, and rational. Cousins was indeed tested on speed of cognitive decision making with the S2 Cognition test, and scored amongst the highest ever. Why you laugh at factualm rational data, is perplexing.
It’s funny because game results are what matter. Doing well on paper means nothing when it comes to sports.
I’m not on the extreme where everything Kirk does is horrible, but his indecisiveness is his biggest weakness.
That’s a false narrative though. Cousins isn’t indecisive. He makes reads and progressions quickly and if it’s there, he delivers the ball.
OH? Game results matter? You mean when Cousins plays out of his head, and the team loses… game results matter? Kickers missing chip shot field goals don’t matter though. RB’s fumbling the ball at the goal line don’t matter, defenses giving up TD’s on 4th down with 3 seconds left in the game, don’t matter, but as for Cousins, game results matter? As you clearly just witnessed QB’s don’t win and lose football games. Teams do.
This is Trump levels of “Probably the best ever” syndrome. Im genuinely getting a kick out of this ego. Keep going.
Uhoh, you gonna put him on the porch too Mr. Pentagon?
No, he is not a child, and GF is very sensible. You on the other hand, need to stay on the porch son.
Really because he’s making the same arguments I have been since this website existed. He’s just been gone so he hasn’t grown as weary of your “Im the smartest person in the US” schtick. It will happen in due time.
No, I just avoid the Kirk debates. Mainly because I’m neutral on it.
I think he was a good quarterback, he just wasn’t worth the contract he was paid. When you demand that much, you have to be able to overcome the limitations your contract creates. He wasn’t that good.
He also didn’t suck.
he did when it mattered most.
The thing I go back to is that the team was 13-3 & went to the NFCCG without him. The following year with him, they didn’t even make the playoffs and never again got close to the success of 2017.
We can play the “yeah, but” game, and I understand the arguments, but you can’t ignore the above paragraph.
Remember, I fully bought in (and even got a damned #8 Jersey).
I was at the Bears game that ended the 2018 season. While there were multiple issues in that game, Kirk’s play was issue number 1.
At that moment I realized Kirk is Fools Gold.
Cousins would throw if it was obvious to a high school QB that it was there, but the great ones will make the throw if it might be there in a step. Kirk was too risk averse.
Umm not true Bow, sorry. Don’t you remember the amazing throw (one of hundreds in his career) where he was getting clobbered in the head by Fletcher Cox in his own endzone, and tossed an amazing pass to Thielen, who was well covered, that went for 63 yards? Of course you don’t.
The reality is, Cousins routinely made “wow” throws, that you choose to ignore.
Yeah, people like to criticize him for some bad plays, but conveniently forget about all the great throws he made, particularly with people about to hit him, or just throwing into some tight windows. They only see what they want to see.
This the case.
I think people think Teddy was a way better QB than he really was. Not sure why.
Because he was not Ponder.
Just like Kirko was better than Keenum.
And Darnold this year was better than Kirko.
Makes sense. All relative to the time, I guess. But I have to say, I was never under the impression he was a great or even very good QB. In fact, I don’t recall any games where I was like “thank goodness we had Teddy back there to make that throw”.
Enjoy the game GF, it should be a lot of fun. Also, Lil fishin’ needs to switch to Anthony Edwards, he is much more entertaining.
Thanks, we’ll have a blast!
Kiddo & I are laying around watching a video on NFL free agents right now.
I can’t offer much advice on the NBA, I know nothing about basketball, except you never bet on the white guy.
I thought that was boxing.
Ha, yup, I ad-libbed the quote from Naked Gun. I was hoping somebody would catch that.
Happy Hump day,
With apologies to vikesfanincheesleland….if you didn’t get a chance to watch the Musk/Trump DOGE Q&A from the oval office yesterday, it was fascinating. Highly recommend finding an entire recording.
I was going to mention yesterday that the “Greek freak” as people call him is not playing tonight but I didn’t want to be the bearer of bad news for yous. You’ll still have fun, that place gets rocking, especially if the wolves are putting on a show. You gotta tell your son to pick a new favorite player. I’d recommend the guy that wears number 5 for the wolves. They call him ant man and he’s been on fire lately.
…..and he’s a top 5 player in the league imo.
Timberpups are 6.5 point favorites…..definitely take the Bucks and the points.
Book it.
With Giannis out, T’wolves by 10.
I don’t see it, but my optimism has been beaten down after 53 years as a Vikings fan.
SNOW DAY!!!
Gratz!
Plus…
Lucky!
GM!
FTP!
SKOL!
Glad you liked OceanAire. That and Manny’s are my favorite places to eat if I am downtown. Both way too spendy for me to go there more than once per year.
Happy Hump Day!
Too PHAT.
She looks like she is reaching the peak.

Oceanaire was awesome. Trying the halibut next time.
What did you have last night? And, the halibut was awesome last time I was there.
Crab cakes for an app are a must for me as well.
