Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
Winter is here. 8 below zero when I took the dogs outside this morning. Days like this make me wish we had gotten cats instead. December is less fun when the Vikings are already looking to next year. I am still hoping they somehow ruin the holidays for the Packers. Sunday night football should be entertaining. I want to see more of the new and improved JJ that they are just “letting play”. I honestly do not care if he has a wonky release, as long as he completes passes.
FTP!

Minnesota Vikings @ Dallas Cowboys Game Thread: 14 Dec 2025 – Skoloholics
Lions and Packers lose… so, that’s good.
Very good.
So does that asshat Rivers.
Looks like FTP are going down. Just sacked on 4th down, down 34-26, 2.5 min left.
Loins are down 7 with 2.45 left, Lambs with the ball.
Both results would make me happy, @nojinx
Ahhh.
Love throws short for an incomplete on 4th down, Poor FTPs.
SeaHawks with the 56 yard field goal to go up by 2 points. 18 seconds left.
Groupie hits a 60 yarder, Rivers might yet win this one. Noice script.
Screw Phillip Rivers and his Bountygate Denying Ass.
He did deny Bountygate? Fuck him then.
Said at the time he never heard anything about it and doubted that it even happened.
Colts kick a 60 yard field goal to take the lead 16-15… 47 seconds left in the game.
Hmmmmm… not good.
He is already on the list of Inactives I posted 8m ago.
Yeah page refreshed after I posted…
It has been doing that to me a lot lately as well.
I thought it was due to my old-ass computer.
Yup, saw that.
Our Inactives for today.
CD out is the worst part.
Lions are getting screwed over by the refs right now with calls and non-calls. NFL wanted LA to win.
Hmmmmmm…
Magnanimous….
Were our playoff hopes dashed since the Bears won?
Yes
Like eliminated (with 4 games left)?
If so, that sucks!
Yes. eliminated.
We were basicly eliminated 2 weeks ago.
I have gotten used to the idea.
Yes, we are officially eliminated. Hope they don’t play for draft position now, Queasy will eff the pick up anyway.
TD pass Rivers!
What’s his age again? Fun script right there.
44.
And retired in 2022, right? Awesome scripting, love it.
Really pulling for Rivers. I think most folks are.
Indeed, would be fun if old man Rivers beats Sam and the SeaHags. Excellent entertainment.
Nice play on words… Old Man Rivers…
Screw him and his ‘Bountygate’ denying ass.
Love the Rivers move. NFL script writers are really going crazy this season.
The Phillip Rivers Bowl has started, Colts doing a lot of running at the start.
And of course FTP vs Buttholemouth, GO Meteor!!
Mahomes down.
Chiefs losing 16-13 to Chargers with 2m left.
Can Minshew bring it home and save their remaining hopes for their season??
He got them into FG range and then threw forced a ball that was intercepted.
Doesn’t look like KC is making the playoffs this year at 6-8.
KC eliminated. First time in 11 years.
That’s a crazy stat. And often they go far in the playoffs.
Fun day
It’s a good place to be in December…
This is not the Biden Whitehouse…
You mean that there can be ‘consequences’ for attacking and killing American Service Members??
Shocking concept… I know.
This is the shit…
Yea the Germans and French soldiers were impressed with how many and varied ways the US GI could use ‘Shit’ and ‘F*ck’.
This the reality we need to throw in the liberals face whenever they scream about getting rid of guns. This is reality.
‘If you make owning a gun a crime then only criminals will have guns’.
A point that they are too stupid to understand or just prefer to ignore.
I think it’s purposeful. The left wants to enslave and rule the populace. Socialism means taking away your rights and freedoms, and citizens handing their lives to the Government.
But first, you have to disarm them.
MFers come to North Dakota, they’d better bring a couple armys along to help. They’ll need them, we’re armed. To the teeth.
Amen… they have been getting their people elected into office, with the intent of basically flooding the Government so we can’t do things will legislature against them. It’s time we put our foot down.
Come on Browns, Broncos, and Rams!
Never fired a Creedmore round. Don’t know anyone who ever has either.
What the hell is it?
Small caliber rifle round. 6.5mm. Like a .224 round basically.
Why too much info/technical data on it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5mm_Creedmoor
Not sure I get the joke though.
Bow is saying it’s a gun for sissy’s… turns a man into a girl…
The creedmore was really popular for long range for a bit but then real men showed it may be good at shooting targets, but it is horrible for shooting anything but paper. Gotta be a gun guy to get out, but I thought it was hilarious.
I think we will beat the Cowboys today. Their pass defense is terrible… worse than Washington’s. McCarthy should be able to replicate his game last week against them. Our defense is better too. Should be able to kick a little sand in Dak’s face.

My wife asked me what I wanted for lunch when the games come on. I said I would love Cheeseburger Hamburger helper and some warm Cuban bread with butter.
She went to the store, and that’s what I’m getting.
Love that girl.
Cuban Bread?
Don’t think I ever had/heard of that before.
Hamburger Helper?
My what high end tastes you have. #grin
I got out frozen chili and turkey soup. Both good for a late game on a snowy day
Guess you guys are freezing up there. Chili and soup are always the go to food in that case.
It was cold yesterday but we’re supposed to be up to 50 by tomorrow. This is the banana belt of the Rockies.
Glad you’re not freezin your nards off.
Weather is ok. 6-7 inches of snow last night, now it is about 28 degrees. 2 cold days, then a warmup. Friday is 50s and rainy.
Yes, Cuban bread. It’s very popular down here in Tampa. It’s used to make the Cuban sandwich. Crusty on the outside, doughy on the inside. Ybor City which is basically connected to the Western side of Tampa used to be a huge factory town where Cubans made cigars. They brought their food and culture here. Delicious.
Google/Wiki says Cuban bread is a white bread formed into long, baguette-like loaves. Though similar to French bread and Italian bread,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_bread
Yep… difference is Cuban bread is more crusty on the outside.
French bread is pretty crispy usually too.
So is Italian bread it seems.
Muslims need to understand the fundamental difference between the U.S. and the rest of the Western world they intend to destroy and dominate.
We’re armed.
The problem is that they are outbreeding/out-immigrating us and they are being assisted by the ‘virtue signaling left/woke. So they are taking over places like Minn/Detroit/NYC/Seattle and then they are expanding from there.
Good thing it will take awhile before they reach Idaho.
The violence going on around the world, and Muslim attacks need to be fully publicized and stressed to everyone. Laws need to be enacted to protect the citizenry, and we must also remove the people who are a threat to the Nation by deportation. Need some reasons to rethink our “politically correct” views?

But FJB said that White Supremeist were they ‘greatest threat’???
Well…
‘The far right is a very real threat’.
To the woke/lib ideology and plans.
And…
We MUST get rid of the Government leaders who refuse to accept reality…
Just like that moron congressman who called the shooting of the National Guardsmen ‘an unfortunate accident’.
They try to frame evil in a way to make is acceptable to the public.
Absolutely, and it is insidiously intentional.
Complete video of the whole thing…

More extensive video of the terrorist attack in Australia today…
Looking at that, how many shooters were there?
Report is 3 shooters.
‘Police say there were at least two gunmen involved in the attack, and they are investigating the possibility of a third’
https://www.foxnews.com/world/least-10-dead-after-mass-shooting-during-hanukkah-event-australias-bondi-beach
Truth…
We have all been listening to the BS.
I remember arguing with my teenaged nephew about it, he knew nothing but what they told him and school but believed it all. He defended it vigorously though guess I have to give him that.
Footage of a bystander tackling a gunman during a mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach today. This hero’s quick intervention likely prevented further casualties by wrestling away the weapon amid parked cars and beachgoers.
This incident, described as a terrorist attack targeting a Hanukkah gathering in the Jewish community, resulted in at least 10 deaths and 20 injuries, marking Australia’s deadliest shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, with two suspects in custody per official reports from NSW Police and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
For you Northerners…
Even The Teacher was impressed with this idea.
Thank God I no longer have to shovel snow or chip ice off the windshield. But that is a damn clever idea! BTW earlier thread about pet peeves on flying. Folks who are sitting in the back of the plane stuffing there sh*t in the front overheads so when you get on no place to put your stuff. Take your damn stuff to the back of the plane with you. You a$$!
I was wondering if it would work on my front walk? I have enough tarp for it.
Maybe if a big storm was coming I could lay it out there and anchor it down with stones/bricks. Something to think about.
Insider Update on Coach Flores.
Pretty much just speculation but probably logical speculation.

2 Killed, 8 in critically injured in shooting at Brown University Ivy League in Rhode Island.

Love Jon Gruden…
Yup, hope he sues the hell out of the NFL.
CO2 does NOT cause temperatures to go up… and does not cause climate change. It’s a total lie.
But we were told to ‘follow the science’.
Who’s science is up to debate, the ‘Woke Science’ or ‘Fact Based Science’?
Science…
Montana up 38-22 on S. Dakota with the ball.
4m left in the 3rd.
45-22 now.
Ummm I mean 52-22.
Still in the 3rd Qtr though.
4th and 1, Navy makes the first down! 17-16 Navy. Kneel down time now. Great game.
Hard fought, would not expect anything less.
It was hard fought. Great game.
This shit is gonna be fun
So accurate…
This is a beautiful thing… makes me so proud…
Awesome!!
The Libtards will never really understand that.
All those cadets have pledged their lives to the service of the USA. Not to make money in congress or part of the bureaucracy but because they believed it was worth fighting for.
Our kind of people.
2 Soldiers and a civilian were killed in Syria by an ISIS gunman.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-vows-very-serious-retaliation-against-isis-after-deadly-syria-ambush-kills-us-soldiers
Obama didn’t destroy ISIS when they were small, and we could take them out easily. He let them grow and fester. Said something like “remember the Crusades”.
O-bumma always saw everything thru the lens of race.
Landed!
On the airplane’s wheels, thankfully.
Can’t wait to go outside, kiddo & I are going for a run after we get to the room.
Believe it’s about 75 outside with little humidity.
Yup, can’t wait. Just another 2 hours while we wait for the blue hairs to retrieve their 600 carry-ons.
If you’re at MCO getting bags has become pretty crappy too.
At least it’s Saturday and traffic should be light around airport.
Yup, we’re currently waiting @patiently@ at the carousel.
Yeah… it’s like that…
Nothing more than a cheap race hustler. And of course, Trump hater.
Old news, she said this months ago.
She has said much stupider things since then.
Army up 13-7 at halftime.
And they will receive the kickoff to start the 2nd half.
So far so good. #nojinx
Good deal, I have an ex-Navy buddy, we like to give each other shit.
‘we like to give each other shit’
As you should.
I’m of the belief that if someone doesn’t give me shit, they don’t like me
It’s either that or they’re just really nice, but if they’re really nice, why would they be hanging around me?
Good thing you get what you need here then.
Don’t want to know how a navy guy gives his shit
Any Wild fans out here? Any thoughts on the trade? Can’t believe it was barely brought up.
My hockey fandom died with the NorthStars.
Yep, that was pretty shameful what they did to the NorthStars.
Haha that too
Norm Sucks!
And same, no longer watch the NHL
It has been so long since I’ve watched the NHL that when they show scores on the bottom of the screen on ESPN, I have no idea who most of the teams are.
Brilliant… built in 1997 by the City of Palm Springs for about $1 million as a flag-stop on the Sunset Limited route, the station sees only 2-3 trains weekly and minimal ridership—around 2,900 boardings/alightings annually in recent years—despite serving a tourist hub, with no major upgrades since opening.
How very California like, Your tax dollars at
workwaste.Go Army!!
Yes I know NLNVF that Navy has a better team, a better record and is favored by 6.5 points. I still want Army to win and will root for them.
Trump is at the game, on the field for the coin flip.
He actually flipped the coin, poorly but he did it.
I fricken love it!!
Love the rivalry. Such a great tradition.
I was in Bosnia a long time ago, and believe it or not had a young Navy kid in the unit. The Army guys picked on him incessantly. Then one day at the mess hall, a Frenchie tripped him as he carried his meal to the table. The Frenchies all laughed as he laid there sprawled on the floor.
The Army guys mopped the floor with the Frenchies and made them go get food for the kid and bring it to his table and apologize.
We were constantly talking sh*t and razzing the Navy/AF guys in my prison academy. One of the female cadets asked me why we ‘hated them so much’.
I said ‘Hated?? We love those guys like brothers, because that is what we are. This is what brothers do!’ She didn’t get it at all, pretty funny actually.
Absolutely… we’re family.
Amen
Yep!
The truth, and what we need to understand… there is a plan.
Is the Wild’s new superstar playing today?
Had better be. Buium isn’t playing. Lol
Bought 1984 on Audible to listen to on the trip, about 3 hours into it
I struggle with Audio Books.
Probably a flaw of mine.
I found that when I’m traveling, I can listen to them. When I’m at home, I prefer to read the old-fashioned way.
I tried them a few times on trips between Ft. Hood and SoCal.
Traffic or something else (bladder) would distract me and I would either have to go back to find what I missed or continue the book hoping what I missed was not all that important.
Dear liberal “useful idiots”… please read this and adjust your inane attitude accordingly.
Works for me.
True wisdom stands the test of time.
