The news about Danielle Hunter’s plans to miss mandatory mini-camp has hit every corner of the NFL news world. I’m sure they’ll get something figured out. Hunter is SOL if he thinks he’s gonna get another high-priced long-term contract, the new GM doesn’t make those mistakes, thankfully.

Video of the Day:
Here’s a great tune from the grunge era, this is Soundgarden with Black Hole Sun. Enjoy!
Wonder if he’s seen those rustlers?
Interested what was offered by the Vikes
whatever it is it’s probably less than what he ultimately gets, that’s usually you’re these things play out
Denver already said they’re out on Dalvin. Miami is holding firm. He’ll sign a poverty deal and look like a fool.
Yeah that’s usually what happens
Lol…Musk on space x 1.

Well…this just doesn’t look right.
Zim did hate rookies.
Lost a step and won’t get 3 moves to get open anymore.
It’s bc Rick was boom or bust and KAM doesn’t even have one good players he’s drafted yet
They collaborate just admirably. Let´s see if it brings us a SB win.
The guys love Kirk. Fuck all ya’ll who don’t.
Yepppp and KAM gonna let a top 10
QB in league and 2nd best QB in NFC walk…
I bet the bengals and chargers are going to let burrow and herbert walk too right?
Because their deals arent done yet?
Did they show up to camp?
Kirks deal is done buddy you not know that? Burrow and Herbets aren’t haha
That’s the day I’ll be done with KAM and go on a never ending tour of fire the pirate.
It’s gonna happen. If he wanted Kirk he would’ve resigned him. He’s only more expensive after this season when he balls out
I like, don’t love Kirk.
OMFGLGBFJBTRUMP+++ I can’t believe it.
@Can’t be true.
He is just pretending to be ok with it.
He’s going holdout. You watch. @
I’m watching LOL
The drama of JJ is unbearable….
All I said was there would be drama if he didn’t show up. He did show up so no drama.
Well see if KAM can get something done before season starts otherwise I could see them just tabeling it to next offseason once they figure the QB situation out
Lol Cine is 4th string
From… “he may never play again.”
to “sucks, so bad.”
in about 8 months. Lol
Sounds like he hates the organization.
But…. He’s unhappy and wants that bag and only wants to play with Burrow or Montana or Elway or Willie Beamen….
No no, thats not the narrative, the narrative is he only WANTS to play with Kirk and will leave if Kirk isnt extended.
Yes. That is the correct interpretation, I was worried about you KFEY, but you seem to be coming around.
I’ll be pissed if he gets hurt at stupid mini camp.
HES SO DISGRUNTLED
Doing his Adam Thielen ‘fall down after the catch’
@He is only catching passes from Kirk@
BTW, a terrible pass by Kirk.
good now skolly can stop being dramatic
LOL…..
Never seen him do that before.
SKOLLY IN SHAMBLES!
OMGFLGBFJBTRUMP++++
@They must be talking about his holdout@
He looks disgruntled to me.
Think he gave him the finger.
He thrives on this shit, so glad Bills got him.
Oh, so he’s injured……….
who cares about diggs.
@Slick was pansy for shipping Diggsy out@
Kwesi is going to do the same for Hunter.
He should IMO.
Hunter is nothing but a headache.
I’m over him. Is he good? Yes. Do I care? no.
Writing has been on the wall for everyone not named Harrison Smith who immediately worked out a new deal.
the rest… they didn’t want to and were shown the door.
You either buy in or GTFO in my opinion.
Lol
Remember when JJ ripped Kirky for throwing a bad pass??
@JJ only wants Cousins for a QB@
LOL here’s your answer brad.
Bravest. Audie Murphy like.
@Audie really wanted to be a woman, but life was so racist and bigoted back then he couldn’t come out@
gross
I assume they served Tranny Fluid at the event.
We should get MT to google tranny fluid and see what comes up.
Nice pull from the past. Stupid Coral.
LOL…
I don’t think I’ve heard that story.
Read where sniffer and cackles were photoshopped in here, can’t find anything.
Here you go
Nice work ben! LMFAO.
man she has a nice rack just like the hottie below.
They are your people, Lifer, enjoy.
Yes they are and I will.
I figured you would…
OMFGLGBFJBTRUMP+++
I could never tell him and Dalvin apart on the field anyway because all dreadlocks look the same to me.
racisttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
@one’s 2 and one’s 4@
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!
What would the purpose be of not reporting him being in town for minicamp?
Give us something to speculate about?
getting people excited.
That was my exact question. What does JJ gain by not showing up? Looking like Diggs?
WHAT A TEAM
THE FRONT OFFICE IS PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH A GREAT UNIT
SNITCHES GET STITCHES BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
CULTURE CHANGE COMPLETE!
Very tight lipped
nothing to leak.
Loose lips…something…something…
Stunt double.
What a drama queen.
bring back diggs!!!!!!
@can’t be. there have been no reports of him being in town. I need passenger flight logs to be sure@
its weird that there we no leaks that he wasn’t going to be there.
Rampant speculation
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
rampant now means… made up.
Correct.
What, no gritty? And he didn’t even wave at the camera. We’re totally screwed.
Practicing too it looks like
never a doubt.
Maybe they’re close to a deal
Just saying…. like i had been saying… JJ isn’t going to be a bitch. Its only year 3 and if hes going to lock in 4/140 with 75m guaranteed hes gotta show up.
Deal done before season or does he wait another year to see what the QB situation looks like?
IMO him getting paid his prob his first priority. Then deal with wanting out in the future if QB situstion is a mess and we don’t sniff relevancy
gets paid. thats why its only 4 years so he gets paid again.
I don’t think it matters who the QB is to him. KO is building an offensive system that you’ll be able to plug a QB into and WIN. YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE YOUNG SKOLDIAK YOU GOTTA BELIEVE.
This whole, ” i only want to work with Kirk” shit is just total nonsense.
It would be completely stupid of JJ to tie his future to anybody but himself.
Correct. Kirk has thrown him the ball his whole career…but thinking he’s the only one who could throw to JJ is silly.
Did you know there will never be another good Vikings QB except Kirk, so we much extend him and clone him, over and over and over
You are delusional.
The Vikings haven’t sniffed relevancy with Kirk.
I’M SHOCKED AMAZING UNBELIEVABLE
JJ showed up
Just avoid any contact stuff, nice to show.
shocking. to no one except you.
Where was Judd expecting him to be? Selling beer up in the stands?
OMFGLGBFJBTRUMP+++
Lol what? His HC said he wasnt
He’s hiding under the medical table.
LIEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
DRAMA QUEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
LOL you could put 99 in here as well.
Now… to come full circle, the Vikings are going to trade JJ after he holds out and take Diggs back.
right?
Only if Cousins is the QB – Skoldiers
LOL i don’t know if thats how it works. Diggs h8s koik.
Maybe he’s changed his mind after playing with Allen?
I suppose Vegas will clinch the Stanley Cup on home ice tonight. That will be two years in a row the Oilers lost to the eventual SC winner in the playoffs. Yay moral victories.
Yay!
So Minnesotalike.
Diggs is untradeable pretty much
Get that signing bonus and retire? Well played Diggs.
Diggs gave the Vikings fans a great moment with the Minneapolis Miracle but I’m so glad we traded this malcontented drama queen for a better player and person in JJ.
Yeah.
But JJ is just as bad of a sitting out crybaby dramaqueen or something…
JJ is just mad they haven’t given Kirk an extension, not that he isn’t getting paid or playing with a winner QB again like Burrow.
something something or another thing or something.
Wut? This is almost the norm now.
https://twitter.com/theseanborman/status/1668625300857720834?s=46&t=Q891Eaqn4KCwWb4d_1l_Uw
Weird how a new FO and coaching staff wouldn’t want to retain all the players from the previous regime and want to bring in other guys that they pick or sign.
Especially when that prior regime had such a rich history of winning and success
Indirectly tanking for Williams. All they need to do is move Kirk
You think Flores of all people would be ok with being on a team doing that and go along with it on the defensive side of the ball?
It’s a joke dude. Impossible to tank with Kirk, JJ, and co. GTD to have 7 wins regardless if the defense is the same or even worse than last season.
LOL…
Delusional
Top 10 offense easily. That’s good enough for 7+ wins regardless of the defense
You think they’re just packing it in to a certain extent though which makes zero sense with a new GM and HC and a defensive coordinator who was around an actual tank job and went after the team because of it. You may not agree with the moves, but they are making moves that they as professional football peoples think will lead to a winning team.
Lol what? It’s a competitive rebuild. Obvious to everyone with a brain. Yes, I agree with some moves but not others. We aren’t winning a SB anytime soon though.
Listen slick, i’ve been watching football a long time. I know things about football that make a ton of sense and even though I dont have one of those 32 jobs as HC or GM or even one of the 100’s if not 1000’s of jobs somehow related to what they do.. they are dumb. And I know it.
So are reporters at the mini camp?
You would think a picture or tweet of JJ or not JJ would have been posted by now.
I think the coach speaks first but could be wrong
Hahahah yes love it
What a bitch, what’s his problem now?
doesn’t like that they don’t use charmin toilet paper in the clubhouse
That’s a legitimate gripe, TBH.
Give him some one ply.
or some leaves
Poison ivy style
Pine cones
I think he could afford to bring his own charmin.
More diva shit.
Time for a cryptic tweeter.
https://twitter.com/WagiesLs/status/1668634044635168768?s=20
Haha so true. Since you are sick, you should go hang out in a waiting room with a bunch of chronically ill people so more people get sick.
I just think, if you’re legitimately sick, stay away from others.
Read Cook might want close to 10 mil.
Yeah.
He is high.
Want in one hand, shit in other.
He must be over in Montana smoking hooch.
Montana just has it all, great breweries, great vistas, great pot, great crime, great homelessness, great poverty…
They don’t call it Big Sky Country for nothing….
Big High Country now.
Billings has sure gotten to be a dangerous place in recent years, noticed a lot more homeless there, too.
this is trash.
LOL….
Kirkistans will have a melt down…..
But it does seem like a pretty stupid list.
I guess in the context of “new” but I’d still throw Kirk and Addison in there over a few of those other pairings.
When did we move to a base-9 society?
Kirk must have been 10, so they only listed the top 9 to specifically exclude kirky.
Kirk and who? Addison? There was probably only 9 new WR/QB combinations to consider.
Shhh…..that’s not the narrative they are looking for…..
Lamar-OBJ? A QB who isn’t great at throwing the football and a WR who hasn’t hit 1,000 yards since 2019 and hasn’t been elite since 2016? Splendid.
Over-under on OBJ blowing his top because Jackson can’t get him the ball, Game 6
I think Jackson will be just fine getting him the ball.
One of the 2 will probably be on IR by game 6.
Hunter for white! straight UP! 😂🤣😂
Absolutely would do that trade.
Sounds racist.
Vikings aren’t on the cusp of a superbowl.
Trash.
I LOL’d
Not with Kwesi doing what he’s doing
I’d say it’s the QB over KAM.
But that’s me….
NBA super racist, obviously won MVP only because he’s white
the nba needs more diversity
Correct, there are way too many non black players in the league. Also, Serbians probably celebrating like crazy, Novak Djokavic just won his 23rd major at the French Open to become the GOAT, and now Nikola is finals MVP.
i don’t recognize Novak Djokavic since he is unvaxxed. selfish selfish human being.
He’d probably have 25 by now if he had given in, but he is a principled person who would rather miss tournaments than be forced to do something with his body he isn’t comfortable with.
How did this vote get past the diversity committee?
It certainly wasn’t approved by Labron
Transgender topless with Biden.
LOL
If Trump/Republican did this, it would be called sexual assault.
Is this implying that the transsexual person was topless in the photo with Biden?
No idea.
You can see she/he/it/thing is topless at the white house.
Didn’t he say something about restoring dignity to the white house during the last election?
LOL.
Dignity…..
Forgot decency and honor. funny how those words are not brought up.
LOL, “dignity”
le sigh
Joe in 2020,
“We need to restore honor and decency to the White House”. OK sniffer.
Hawt
It’s interesting when you think about it…a man posing topless is no biggie. A woman posing topless is practically obscene in most districts. A man posing topless that has implants…no biggie or obscene?
Crazy.
Women should be allowed to go topless, same as men. It would suck if I had to wear a shirt all the time when I’m out in the hot sun.
I am 100 percent on board….women should be encouraged to go topless.
I mean, they’re part of the reason we’re called mammals. I get they can be a distraction, but men have adjusted to being able to see women’s hair (gasp), legs (the horror) and buttocks in pants (scandalous) to yoga pants (obscene). I’m outside working and get dirt and grass all over me stuck to the sunscreen first thing I do before going in the house is strip down to my skivvies or less and hose off. I bet sports bras catch a lot of dirt and dander.
LOL.
Probably not all women should be allowed.
Good point.
One year permits, if you get my drift.
Not all men should be allowed either though.
Correct.
That’s so gender neutral of you.
Man, back when I worked at the Y, there was an old chubby dude who came there every day to swim & he wore a friggin speedo.You can’t unsee that.
What a total dipshit.
I don’t see where chopping off your dick and gluing some tits to your chest is braver than saving a baby from a fire or running through a hail of bullets to help save your fellow soldier.
Societal collapse. Country is in decline. IMGDHO.
Yeah, it’s hard to say it isn’t happening anymore.
Yes, and Hunter is the smartest man he knows.
Joe loves blow and ho’s
Don’t be shocked if Mettlus beats out Cine the bust
https://twitter.com/theseanborman/status/1668608340132241409?s=46&t=Q891Eaqn4KCwWb4d_1l_Uw
We don’t KNOW Cine is a bust…but it seems more likely than not.
For what? the backup job?
CINE IS A BUSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Bust
0-62
–Skoldiakiers
man he’s tore up lol….
Damn. LOL
Lol
‘…Glass half empty, half full, I’ll spill ya
Try me and run into a wall; outfielder
You know I’ma ball ’til they turn off the field lights
The fruits of my labor, I enjoy ’em while they still ripe….’
Lil Wayne played baseball?
Probably.
Basketball
How much does Yannick Ngakoue being a FA hurt Hunters trade value?
Zero
why 0?
because I sez so
Fair.
IDK why but Ngakoue doesn’t seem a highly coveted pass rusher despite being pretty consistent at getting double digit sacks close to every year. He doesn’t play the run at all and apparently thinks he’s worth a lot more than teams do. Same age as Hunter and doesn’t have the injury history but not as good. Any team interested in Hunter could have signed Ngakoue anytime since March so I don’t see it having any impact on Hunters value.
i get it. Kinda like Zeke and Hunt being out there. 28 year old edge players aren’t in high demand?
What does their head-to-head record matter? What a weird stat to include.
I hope KAM fines Hunter. He’d move up a couple notches from being a pansy to a fairy.
But if they are trying to do a deal, wouldn’t that piss off Hunter even more?
I did see a report saying JJ could show up but not practice
who cares about a 2 day mini camp, nothing matters until training camp
The coaches do. If it wasn’t important, they wouldn’t schedule a mandatory training camp.
Correct, Ben just thinks everything is honkey dorry within the Vikes covenant
LOL, you’re such a drama queen. I never said anything like that, just that it doesn’t matter much until training camp.
From a fan’s perspective I don’t know why anyone would care about it.
Pop quiz to see who’s digesting the play book and who’s not?
Disagree. You’re just putting your head in the sand like most Vikes fans and think it doesn’t matter.
Him skipping OTAs was already a sign
A sign of what?
That Hunter is disgruntled? Again?
Send him packing.
No, I just don’t care about a meaningless two day mini camp. I know you love all the highlights of the players in those weird soft helmets but they do nothing for me.
Yeah, I don’t think his decision to practice in this mini-camp will affect his performance in 2023-24.
Nothing on JJ. Wouldn’t he have shown up last night?
Pretty odd everything with JJ is so tight lipped. Different than many players
if there was something to spill… it would’ve spilled.
my Guess is he shows up and doesn’t do a whole lot.
I don’t see how he helps himself by skipping.
Hurts is the only guy who’s signed right?
Not burrow… or Herbert… or lamb….I guess Jordan Love did lol
My guess as well.
No point in doing too much to risk an injury.
I got you skolly.
LOL
I’ll let ya know if he gets back to me.
Thanks 🙂
Hunter holding out!!!!!!!!!
JJ missing mini camp!!!!!!!
Doom !!!!!!!!!!!!
JJ is missing now too?
something come out?
Nothing yet
Nothing official.
I figured I would just get the overreaction out of the way early.
I do think he is pretty entertaining. I remember a few interviews on KQ back in the 90s. guy is funny.
Been watching that show for years, and I am still not quite 60 years old…. Just prepping for old man things. Golf, BBQ, Wheel of fortune, Early dinners at restaurants at 4:30 for the bargain pricing, etc
I haven’t seen it in forever…but hes a legend. 41 years on TV is a hell of a run. Kinda like when Bob Barker left the price is right.
I remember when he took over for Chuck Woolery. Back then, after players solved a puzzle, the stage revolved and was covered in prizes – the winner immediately selected whatever prizes they could afford, spending down to zero.
It usually ended up with them having like $10-15 left, and the only thing left that cheap was a ceramic frog or similar.
i have no idea what you’re talking about grandpa.
Going back on the memory bank there.
