Report that the Vikings want to keep #23 in the upcoming draft, also JJ’s draft slot is overinflated.
Mond signs with the Saints, author suggested he could “prove” Zimmer wrong when NO plays the Cowboys, LOL I doubt Mond even makes their roster.

I don’t understand why these people aren’t thrown in jail.
Because that might hurt their feelings.
Not to mention Calif it too broke to feed that many prisoners.
Im betting most are overweight and could use a good 30 day fasting period.
All about putting political pressure to get the Biden Administration to keep backing off it’s help for Israel. And, it’s working.
Take a look what states they do it in
I did so much work today that it almost makes up for all the times I goofed off.
You should goof off more tomorrow. No one wants a balanced budget.

‘bird tears’?
Is that worth going to find the reference?
Falcons fans will be crying once the season starts and they realize that ownership mortgaged the future of the team to pay Kirko.
Or they win the Division and rejoice.
Ben It’s really no big surprise – George likes a big booty.
So…we’re voting for Obama then?
Nothing More never fails to disappoint. Intro gave me goosebumps. Alan Watts and his wisdom.
Absolutely awesome vocalist! I enjoy them as well.
Johnnys voice is stellar. I can sing some nothing more songs when im on but boy you gotta feel it, no half assing those notes
Who’s your favorite Vocalist? Mine is Mikael Akerfeldt.
Of all time or…current?
Current, because if it was all time I’d have to give consideration to Dio!
Man, thats a tough. I like so many for different reasons. Chris Motionless, Johnny for sure, Vessel from Sleep Token for range and uniqueness.
Dio auto rec
his is probably Michael Bolton
Big fan of Alan Watts. Kind of sad that his son is selling so much for profit. The buick ad comes to mind……
THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE HAS COMPLETED ITS PREPARATION FOR AN IMMINENT ATTACK AGAINST IRAN
This could get interesting, since Biden won’t support this move.
Do you think the Jewish people in this country will ever wake up?
well this feud has literally been going since…..Genesis….
True. But the Jewish people in this country have been strongly democratic. And you may noticed the last two democratic administrations have been a lot more positive towards the Arab world and tougher on Israel.
It is amazing to me that they continue to vote democrate.
Me too.
FJB
For Joe Biden? Misjudged you ben.
Well Ben said he did vote for Al Gore.
Let em kill each other. Im sick of playing teacher at recess for the rest of the planet.
Just from a political point of view, Israel is the single democracy surrounded by a bunch of nations that are basically theocracies, monocracies, or just a bunch of thugs. I think it is prudent to support the democracy.
The take away from this whole mess is that saying “Don’t” really isn’t a valid foreign policy when it is being mouthed by a weak Administration.
Squatters, rampant crime, death to America chants, open borders, cost of living, on and on……….
And yet 49 percent of the population appears ready to vote for him at this point…..
So incredibly disappointing.
Well, not sure I would call it voting….
It’s a clown show. Take in 5 trillion dollars and spend 7. People will vote for free shit. Eventually you run out of other peoples money. Voting base is basically ignorant. Buy votes, make it a one party system. Even if you destroy the country.
Not sure they’re “ignorant.” They know exactly what they are voting for – the one who will give them (free) what they want.
There will be a day of reconning, but they also know it won’t be them paying for it.
Exactly.
Timber Puppies get the Suns. 0-3 against them and all by double digits. Looking forward to another 1st round knockout, Cuz, minny sports.
Sad but true.
I’ve been saying this since January.
@But at least they were number 1 in the west for most of the year@
Unless they raise the average life span for a male to 150 doubt i’ll see another title of any kind.
Stop demanding wins.
LOL
I thought I saw that Scrabble released a game version with no scoring points….cause ya know….can’t have winners and losers!
Yep.
In the new version, a double-sided board offers the traditional game on one side and Together mode on the other. Instead of competing to see who can score the most points and show off their knowledge of obscure two-letter words, Scrabble Together encourages working with friends to conquer predetermined challenges. Players win Scrabble Together when they complete 20 challenges. If players have used up all the helper cards and cannot complete a goal, they must concede.
The idea behind Together mode was to make the game more interactive and inclusive, said Ray Adler, vice president and global head of games at Mattel. Research conducted by the company revealed that competition was not as important to younger players as having a way to connect with others and have fun. The new version prioritizes teamwork in order to adapt to those changing values.
“Scrabble has truly stood the test of time as one of the most popular board games in history, and we want to ensure the game continues to be inclusive for all players,” Mr. Adler said in a statement. “For anyone who’s ever thought ‘word games aren’t for me’ or felt a little intimidated by the classic game, Scrabble Together mode is an ideal option.”
The Suns and the Thunder is who it will come down to in the West.
the Sun always goes down in the west…
Naw,The wolves have lulled them into overconfidence…that was their plan all along.
Evidently T. Brady stated that he would consider a ‘late season’ return in the right situation.
So of course the Vikings were among the speculated possibilities.

Oh I agree, Clickbait generated on a random comment.
For those so bored they choose to read a MT post.
Sunday was moving day. With any luck this will be the last moving day that I have any control over, and the next move will be to a nursing home when I am a drooling demented vegetable. The good news is that the addition is for all intents and purposes complete. The bad news is that I’m sore AF (of course I refuse ibuprofen). The good news is I had my son-in-laws able help and my tractor with pallet forks to make the short transport from the shipping container to the shouse. The bad news is everything smells like stale shipping container and musty cardboard.
Hey, at least nothing broke!
So you moved about 500 feet?
Yes, only took us 2.4 years.
This is hardly a true MT Viking worthy post.
The soul of brevity it is.
Thinking of you today with your upcoming move. We have a few restoration hardware pieces whose appearance belies their true weight. Even with those forearm straps you just can’t avoid some awkward transfers and my back doesn’t recover as quickly as it did when I was 18 and laughed at such things as using my back to lift instead of my knees.
I did get my shelter belt tilled out on Saturday. That’ll be another week of back exercises as I still need to run water from my shallow well to the irrigation pipes, lay out the drip irrigation system in three rows, and plant 340 little treelets. Oh, and mustn’t forget another three strand fence to keep the cows from munching on the treelets and scarifying the ground with their hooves.
Our moving company said their price is determined by space not weight or even the price of gas.
We are planning on signing a contract so we can lock in the dates in early July. The Teacher says she needs all of the school year to get that part worked out/finalized, then we can work on the house.
The pro movers definitely do a better job of packing than my novice attempts. Monster scrabble board, TVs, big ol’ dressers and cabinets were pristine. Hauled a heapin’ pickup load of cardboard to recycling and burned a forest worth of musty packing paper.
We just have to figure out the best date in early July, avoiding the 4th I assume.
And we have stuff we will take along if it is not costly, stuff we can replace cheaply in Idaho.
Hope we don’t sell the farm draft day. See what’s there at #11. Maybe a modest trade up if should it present itself. We have more holes than a block of swiss cheese. We give up picks and draft a bust we will be mired in muck for years.
Mired in mediocrity since 2017, so what’s the difference, take a chance for once
I can verify that the Vikings have been mired in mediocrity since 1978.
But yeah, take a chance.
The Vikings have never drafted a QB in the top ten of any draft.
KAM has stated that he plans to judge any ‘trade up’ considering that the player taken has to be worth more than all the players those picks would have gotten.
It doesn’t sound like a missive trade up is planned. He might make a ‘modest trade up’ if they are enamored with a certain player.
What I like most about what he said was “we love certain players, we love certain players if we can get them for the right price”.
As in real estate, business and whatever most everything is a ‘function of price.’
I agree. I think KAM is so far much better than Wryck, although the low bar was set very low.
KAM seems willing to let talent leave if the value is not there (Thielen, Kirko) and also willing to move up or down if he thinks the value is there.
He just needs to make sure the scouts have properly valued the players they are looking at. (Cine).
Yeah, I mean he is 1-1 for first round picks which isn’t that bad really. And Cine who knows if could have ever been serviceable without his injury.
Cine couldn’t get on the field before the injury, he’s why Smith is still on the roster.
That was when he was a rookie, many rookies struggle to get on the field early, like Diggs and JJ. They turned out shitty too huh?
Diggs was on the field game 3, JJ game one. Cine just flat out sucks. The end.
Saw some story from somewhere that Cine hasn’t seen the field because he was too mean for the lovey dovey KOC or something.
Made me chuckle. Because it might be true.
I highly doubt its true, he just sucks. KOC isn’t all lovey all the time either, he hate stared and chewed players asses on the sideline.
I don’t think it’s true either.
But It is the Vikings and the whole Minnesota Nice label.
Yeah, they haven’t won anything, but they’re nice to eachother, yay
And Cine was injured game 4… seems like a pretty good comparison… I am NOT saying he would be good but you can’t say how good he could have possibly been without that injury though. You can’t. It’s literally impossible. This isn’t rocket surgery. You guys get so damn absolutist and it has to be black and white. This is a gray area. It’s very possible he could have been at least serviceable without the injury by the end of the year or year 2.
I also wonder if he still has lingering effects from the injury.
Diggs basically had no one in front of him as a WR1. JJ had an aging Thielen in front of him.
Cine had Harry and Bynum, which are two pretty good safeties. I believe the original plan was to have Cine sit behind Harry for the season.
He sucks and is a candidate to be cut in his third year. He also made a full recovery by training camp last year.
A different take on Cine selection. Believe there are certain key positions – offense, QB,WR left tackle and on defense rusher and CB. Not saying other positions aren’t important, but these are key.
I just don’t see using a first round pick for a safety – especially if you have other holes. Now, there are exceptions – if Ronnie Lott is out there, go get him.
Would think the way colleges are turning out pro ready WR’s, it’s a lot easier to select a WR with a number 1 pick compared to other positions – like maybe a QB.
Yeah, just ask the Eagles lol
You more than anyone here I would think would look more at the ‘norm” than the outliers. I’d say lol too, but will hold my water until the next political type argument arises.
See below…
Also, I was just trying to make fun of the Eagles. I’m aware that was an outlier but shit it was funny.
Why you got to make fun of the Eagles?
They were a pretty fun band while I was growing up.
Love Joe Walsh!
Someone say Eagles…?
FTE
Soft music, put me to sleep.
I’d rather listen to Kenny G
Want a good mix? Try Kryptonite by 3 doors down.
Played that song in my middle school rock band lol.
Taste of music mostly generational.To each their own.
Sniff n the Tears. Driver’s seat.
The first time I had sex that song was playing. Also the second and third time.
So you only last 6:30?
It took him 3 times to reach 6:30. 🙂
Like Carrey in Ace. Got his girl off 3 times and apologized . Sorry, that’s never happened before.
-1. Hmmm. KFEY? Most peculiar.
Edit: – 2 now…hmmmmm
How dare you have your own opinion!
Appropriate to see A. Lincoln so prominent in todays thread since it is the 159th anniversary of his death. Best President ever.
https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/this-day-history-april-15-1865-president-abraham-lincoln-passes-away
Curious – how did you move this to the top?
Magic.
He was pretty liberal for his time… good to know you support liberal and progressive thinking politicians…
Some of his policies were considered progressive in his day.
Allowing that a black man was ‘equal in his right to keep the food that he raised by his own hand’ was considered shocking to many.
I’m aware… It’s why I posted what I did.
And he was the 1st Republican Presidental Candidate.
Lincoln would make a better president “now” than sniffer.
He would have made a better president than many recent presidents… But you make a good point, he would have had to run as a Dem if he ran today. Pubs of today would have been pro secession. Hell, many of them still are in the south! lol.
Not a fan of politicians in general. I just look at the State of the Union. Not rocket science to see it sucks on many levels.
I think South Park did a great job with this. Have you watched their voter apathy episode? So good.
run as a dem today? Do you think Kennedy and Truman would be Repubs today?
Well I should have backed that up. Maybe not a Dem, I was just thinking he wouldn’t be a Republican. But that doesn’t mean he’d be a Dem. He’d never be able to run as a Dem, because he has his own thoughts and as we saw with Bernie, anyone who thinks outside what they want the DNC rigs that shit BAD! Dirt bags!
Lincoln was an exceptional man in many respects and far above most of his successors. Maybe all.
Different times and circumstances coupled with party movement, and who knows what party would have been appropriate.
It’s tough isn’t it because we use to have presidents with some moderation to them, and/or actually willing to work with the other side. I mean even Clinton by European standards or classical definitions would have been a Classic moderate conservative.
Clinton for sure was willing to work across the isle (gingrich) and as such got a lot done. And perhaps equally important, thins tht got done were more acceptable to people.
^^JR types like me.
Sorry – think faster than type. Will try harder.
Lol, giving you crap. I do it, to lazy to correct. people get the point.
Gov’t works better when things don’t get done, like NAFTA for example, which destroyed Mexico’s ag industry leading to increased immigration.
Sometimes for sure, but sometimes not.
NAPTA was crap, but reducing welfare benefits was pretty good.
Why did they have to reduce welfare benefits? Because at some point in time they agree the previous price, I guess in a way when they can agree to undo previous things its not bad.
Undoing a lot of things that have already been done would be pretty good in. many cases.
Raised taxes on the elderly.
And balanced the budget (Big help from Newt who I give most of the credit to).
But didn’t he balance the budget by stealing from SS?
He may have (they all do). But they actually made big, real cuts on several of the welfare type programs.
Ran a surplus
that’s true, and as much as I hate to admit it, Big George took care of that and we have never been close again.
I think George W had a good heart and wanted to do right by the country but that big heart was easily manipulated by
SatanChaney. haha.George W did 9/11
Oooof… That’s giving him way too much credit. That’s like saying Biden wrote and recited a coherent speech… Waaaayyyy too much brain power to get that done.
George did have a big heart. But how he responded, like attacking Irag, is a subject of strong debate.
But what the government did to fund the war was pretty poor -basically, funded the entire war of balance sheet.
Agreed, maybe Chaney had something to gain$ from the US attacking… hmmmm lol.
Chaney was arrogant. But then again, there was Haliburton. Believe they made a few bucks.
A shekel or 4.
I kid, George has done more good since leaving office, I find his friendship with Michelle Obama interesting as well.
Oh pish the Republican Demigod in their eyes Ronald McReagan raised taxes like 10 or 15 times in his terms.
President for 8 years.
Congress passes a budget once a year.
Therefore Reagan raised taxes 10 or 15 times.
On the cruise ship, we had dinner at the same table with the same people each night. I ask for a large table since meeting new people is fun until they become assholes.
Met a great couple, and the guy had 40+ years in the Navy. now retired, and loves being on the water, so they cruise all the time. spend less than one week at home per month.
He was in Nam, on the ground during the tet offensive. Man, that was eye opening for sure. Not all people are asshats. He and his wife are great people, and I am better for having met them.
Now, back to complaining.
Awesome!
Did you ask him about Hot-Bunking?
Not as bad as it sounds, but fun for teasing the Navy Guys about.
LoL. nope. I got no details, other than all the years at sea, two rounds on the ground in Nam , and that getting spit upon when returning home got him a bit angry.
He really seemed like the type that is very slow to anger, but man.. I would not wanna see him angry. 76 years old and would still easily kick my ass if he were so inclined.
Navy didn’t have a lot of forces on ground during Tet in Nam and those that were there were medics, Seals, or the guys on Riverboats. All pretty tough guys
I knew a Viet Nam vet, who upon his return got spat on. They had 6′ tall steel barricades lined with MPs. It wasn’t enough to protect the protester that spat on him. He cleared the barricades and it took 6 MP to pull him off of the protestor.
I hope the protester got hit several times before they pulled the hero off of him.
You’re old enough to remember his term? Crazy.
QOTD. Not sure Darnold will work out and a drafted QB probably won’t be ready. They may well need someone to step in capable of ‘running’ the offense – and that’s Mullens.
So, I don’t think it’s fair and Hall didn’t have much of a chance, but believe he’ll be odd man out.
Darnold will probably start all season. And the Vikings will finish with a better record than ATL.
I’ll take that bet all day long Surly…
We are still in the silly rumor period of the NFL calendar, so take this with a grain of salt.
I heard a rumor from someone who supposedly knows someone who knows stuff that the Vikings have an agreement in place to trade up and get the #3 pick.
Assuming that is true (probably isn’t) then the question would become why haven’t they made that trade already?
The answer could be they are indeed waiting to see what happens with the Falcons tampering issue.
Most likely the trade is contingent on a certain player being available that the Vikings want at that spot and a certain player not being available to NE.
I kind of thought the 1st two picks were foregone conclusions.
I don’t think they necessarily are, you have a HOF potential WR in Harrison in this draft as well, and I don’t believe there is consensus on the 3 QBs after Williams.
Agreed. I think Washington goes QB after trading Howell away but who they take is a total guess. I’d think it would be Daniels or Maye but it wouldn’t surprise me if they took McCarthy at 1.2.
I could see Washington taking Harrison, then trading back in for the Jr. Penis or Nix, or possibly NE doing that.
Makes sense – both have high 2nd rounders and could see if Penix/Nix fall.
I think there’s a real chance teams panic and there could be up to 7 QB’s drafted in the 1st round
Williams
Maye
Daniels
McCarthy
Nix
Penix
and…..
wait for it….
I could see someone making a drastic reach for Joe Milton if they love his athleticism (4.56 40 @ 6’5” 244) and arm strength.
Milton?
Auto Rec! Great movie! We had an Office Space party at my parent’s house in high school. My mom loved that movie. She had an employee who’s girlfriend worked a bank and the bank was upgraded their computers so were just throwing out a bunch of old computers and monitors. So they got a bunch for the Office Space party to destroy after the movie played. It was a lot of fun. We had to try and sync up it playing on 3 different screens. One in the kitchen, on in the living room and one in the basement. We pressed play at the same time and then saw which one was lagging behind the other and by how much. Took a little bit but we got all 3 on basically the exact same spot haha. I have a red swingline stapler for a reason lol.
Just from having the experience of living in DC for a long time, QB of the Skins is the second most important position in town, only behind the President.
They will take a QB.
I think the QB of the foreskins is more important than the President.
At least the QB can be entertaining.
I was going to say it’s really 50/50, but was trying to be a bit respectful of the position.
I could see Chicago going WR with #1 and QB at #9.
I think they are waiting to see what QB goes where. I can see them trading up if the guy they truly want is still around. Otherwise it will be QB at 11 or 23
QotD: I believe Mullens will be released if we draft a QBOTF. I think KOC was very frustrated last year when he threw for 500 interceptions.
We were all frustrated with his willingness and ability to throw the ball to the other team.
I guess we all fondly remember the INT Mullens produced by trying to throw the ball away lying on the ground and practically handing it to the defender lying next to him.
That’s the kind of shit that would get a HS QB yelled out and possibly pulled from a game lol.
LOL yup.
Mond looked like he should have been cut when drafted. He was very frail looking from the beginning. Pretty sure even kickers bullied him.
According to RGIII though, “Kellon Mond represents exactly what Cousins doesn’t do well. Mond is the big, physical quarterback. He can run it, throw it all over the field, and I don’t think that’s something that No. 8 is able to do in Cousins in Minnesota. But, I think that’s what the coaching staff and administration is looking for.”
Mond is just waiting to break out.
RGBadKnee strikes me as the type of fella to really enjoy the aroma of his own farts…..
Is there something wrong with that?
Got big plans for Saturday?
Lol…. Not really. I’ll certainly enjoy the day and I’m usually celebrating 4:20 daily on my porch so I’m guessing that won’t change.
When I was younger I made a bigger deal out of it – but that’s when cannabis was still considered counterculture. It’s mainstream now.
My nephew is coming over Saturday for a Madden session so I’ll likely pop a handful of gummies beforehand and commence to show him the meaning of the phrase ‘most of the time…’
Someone needs to do a drug test on RGIII.
RGIII would never be petty. He’s too good of a man for that.
I wouldn’t waste my drugs testing them on RGIII
Just like Irv and Cine.
I didn’t know much about him when the Vikings selected him, so I went and watched several of his games from his senior season and came to the conclusion he sucks, cut him.
BTW, I think the Biden administration secretly signed an emissions standard regulation recently, that will basically “outlaw” any fossil fuel vehicle beginning in 2027. I read an article about this, and it’s irritating how an administration can enact a regulation like this that affects most of the vehicles (and their owners) in the country. There is no proof of “Man-made climate change” and to have liberals doing this kind of crap behind the scenes is gonna cause a lot of problems. For instance, there isn’t enough electricity available to charge all the vehicles. Read an article where Virginia says they need ten new nuclear power plants now, to keep up with demand.
Electric vehicles will never work in the apocalypse…
Excellent point.
not a surprise. the way they want to absolutely control the population.
no more road trips, when you have to re-charge your vehicle every so often, but then only have charging stations available to charge from 1pm to 3pm and 10pm to 12am because our grid is so overrun that it can’t sustain it all….
oh the future looks bright!!
that’s just the glow of all the EV’s burning alongside the road….
Arguably the best cold opening of that show. The cat toss gets me every time.
without googling, can you remember the name of the cat she tosses oscar?
Sprinkles?

Nope. Bandit.

One of his more edgy quotes.
He does not lie
Makes me wonder if something like that has any teeth. Or is it simply something they can say they did to show they love hugging trees to gain the hippies’ votes lol.
Can they ‘legally’ do this without congress passing some kind of law..
WASHINGTON – Today, March 20, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced final national pollution standards for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles for model years 2027 through 2032 and beyond. These standards will avoid more than 7 billion tons of carbon emissions and provide nearly $100 billion of annual net benefits to society, including $13 billion of annual public health benefits due to improved air quality, and $62 billion in reduced annual fuel costs, and maintenance and repair costs for drivers. The final standards deliver on the significant pollution reductions outlined in the proposed rule, while accelerating the adoption of cleaner vehicle technologies. EPA is finalizing this rule as sales of clean vehicles, including plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, hit record highs last year.
EPA projects an increase in U.S. auto manufacturing employment in response to these final standards, consistent with the broader Biden-Harris Administration commitment to create good-paying, union jobs leading the clean vehicle future. Strong standards have historically contributed to the U.S. leading the world in the supply of clean technologies, with corresponding benefits for American global competitiveness and domestic employment. Since President Biden took office, companies have announced more than $160 billion in investment in U.S. clean vehicle manufacturing and the U.S. auto manufacturing sector has added more than 100,000 jobs.
I can make up random numbers also. For example, 15 million people will die when there isn’t enough electrical producing plants to heat homes. Another 25 million people will die when all of the nuclear plants malfunction. See, it’s easy to make up numbers.
I knew there was a reason that I liked old Abe.
He was known for his honesty.
Good ole’ honest, racist Abe.
I haven’t followed the “hush money” trial of Trump. so no idea what the premise is. It’s not illegal to pay someone to not disclose things they know, as far as I know. I have signed dozens of non disclosure agreements in my career. This is basically the same thing to me. Dunno, but it seems like the liberals are just doing anything they can to discredit Trump and paint him in a bad light to the public. Yet, when he was the President, the country did great.
The largest extrapolation and expansion of misdemeanor laws to arrive at a felony in the history of our nation.
the only reason the country did great when the sexist, racist, white supremacist trump was president was because the benevolent obama had everything EXACTLY where we needed to be….

…an even better question: Will Mullens beat out Darnold for the starting job? Mullens has 2 years in KOC’s system. He may win the battle for the starting job.
Well then KOC and KAM are stupid. They’d be paying a QB $10M to sit on the bench. A guy with a career passing completion percentage of 59.7% and 63 TD’s to 56 interceptions. I guess everyone thinks he will have a breakout year with the Vikings.
On the bright side, that beats paying a QB $28.5 million who isn’t even on the roster.
Or overpaying an average QB for 6 seasons and getting 1 playoff win.
wait….
You mean the most prolific QB in Vikings history? That’s “average” in your perspective? Come on man…
Well above average. I heard it’s a “team game”. Correct?
Looking forward to Falcon tears this season.
Met two groups of people from ATL on the cruise, one group was all in on Kirko and expecting a Super Bowl this year, and one was on the doom wagon already.
Just like here.
I didn’t know birds could cry
Except no one is paying a QB $28.5M who isn’t on the team. That’s just a cap hit pushed into future years by KAM. Thanks for misrepresenting reality as you usually do.
So the $28.5 dead cap hit for Cousins is a myth?
This from the guy who posted that it’s a problem that the Vikings had the highest dead cap in the NFL?
Shocked I tell you.
Nah, Sam I Am is the starter. Probably for the entire season.
If/when he has a bad game, idiots like me will be clamoring for the rookie.
Mullens is gone once/if we draft a QB in the 1st round.
Voluntary offseason exercises begin in Eagan today.
