Minnesota Vikings News:
From MLB.com, Acuna is first in All-Star game voting, and 6 other Braves are in the voting.
The Braves won their 8th in a row last night, defeating the Phillies 4-2, from MLB.com.
Jordan Addison says that ‘he fell to the perfect organization’ when he was drafted by the Vikings, according to NFL.com.
Vikings.com shared the Minnesota Vikings training camp schedule, which has two nighttime practices.
CBS Sports ranks the NFL’s top 10 wide receivers. You’ll see a familar face at the top of the list.
Video of the Day:
Here’s a classic from Metallica, this is For Whom The Bell Tolls. Enjoy!
Punched in the DN (been months). Showed 7 comments. That possible? I get more scam phone calls than that!
Laughing… I’ve never been back since I got booted with everyone else.
Busch Light of the sports community.
Where was that? Can’t believe you would ever get thrown out – you conduct yourself too well.
The Daily Norseman.
They were booting people for post pictures of Pansys.
Lifer level of woke and political correctness.
They’re so woke they make lifer look like Ronald Reagan
Do you mean woke as in politics or woke as in behavior?
Yes
Guess best not worth getting into
Think freezey got called out on the word pansy. Not sure if banned or a warning. Mods are over the top there.
Thank you – pansy is so mild a word don’t know what to say. Strange times we live in.
Woke site. You can say or think what we say.
Hope you’re getting some clubs out.
I’m getting better. Play 5 hole rounds twice a week. Thanks for asking.
Play some vicariously thru Lifer.
Well I’ll have 36 holes on two top pristine courses in Kiawah to share with you over the next four days. 18 Sunday morning at
Then 18 Tuesday morning at
I’ll have to strategize on how I plan to play them. Cougar I’ve played multiple times shot 98-105…last time almost walked off from working on to much stuff going in and just fell apart. Won’t be that way this time.
Osprey never played supposedly one of the best in the area.
Best of luck. Enjoy, but play smart.
Lifer level??? I was at the top of the Admins most wanted listed and got cast down to Dantes 27th level of hell.
Update from my beer lunch. It turned into a 3 hour lunch, I had 4 beers, so did my co-worker. Unfortunately, his wife has that tracking thingy on his phone so she knew he spent 3 hours at the bar for lunch…he is now out in the parking lot getting his ass chewed….As an accomplice, I am a little scared.
No man should ever get chewed out for having some relaxation. WTF? Tell her to hit the bricks. I’m the boss of me, not you.
truth
He’s a beta cuck
-big five
Exactly
I miss you and Karenfingers debating societal issues
We certainly massaged both ends of the issues and then ultimate ended up threatening to find one another for retribution.
I’d pay to see that
I offered it to him many times….he was scared. Afraid Mick would give out his real name, email or address. Smart that he was concerned, at least he knew me that well,
You’re scared – How big’s his wife?
She is small but she is nasty….
Ankle biter…the worse.
Better than a pillow biter
If she is worried about ‘the family’ I don’t blame her.
My dad went from Social Drinker to Mean Drunk and it all fell apart.
Wish my mom had been willing/able to put up more of a fight.
Please….he’s a grown ass man. If she has to put a fucking tracker on his phone he needs to wise up and leave his phone in his work desk. If she requires constant update responses he needs to launch her ass.
Listening and watching him at a podium is something.
It does make me wonder if he is just a bot moved by remote control.
Incoherent at times, just lost. Scripted crap. But he has a nice backup in Harris.
The guy has a card in his pocket that tells him exactly what to do and where to go and he still gets lost. Oh, and he was talking about the ocean train again yesterday.
Those bridge pylons seem pesky.
Small sub gets crushed. Biden wants a whole train underwater for a mass catastrophe. Sounds about right.
Can we make sure he is the first one on it and somebody open a window?
I do derive a great deal of humor from sniffer and cackles.
Maybe the train tracks are going to be floating on the surface. Or, hear me out, they will build a train that floats and doesn’t need tracks.
I’m sure as safe as the Titan.
I’m surprised he hasn’t just announced teleportation devices to be installed around the world. That would make more sense to me.
I like it. We know money is not a issue.
Yeah. Or they could build a big tube and use big capsules in it that get sucked through. Basically a really large version of what the banks have at the drive throughs.
This admin is capable of anything.
Since he claims it’s for climate reasons and as the party supposedly worried about the environment you’d think he’d be worried about how it would affect the sea life. Once again, even if this were true they would push it and ignore the consequences in the name of climate change. Just like all the whales dying on the east coast around the wind farms.
At least he didn’t do a nose dive.
Pretty sad that the bar for a good public appearance by the President is that he didn’t fall on his face.
According to what I heard on the news earlier today, experts believe it imploded Sunday based on recordings in that area. The knocking noises they were reporting in the middle of the week are now judged to be biological ocean noise.
Yup, Cameron confirmed that as well. Wild
Posted here late last night, saw a post where the 19 year old’s Aunt said he was terrified and didn’t want to go. He only agreed as a Father’s Day gift for his Dad. That poor Mom.
Oh i like the texas rangers even more, they aren’t doing a pride night.
good for them
Company picnic starting in an hour. Beer food and games outside
Get a job Skolly.
He hooked up with the office secretary at the Christmas party…wonder who he’ll be lurking on today?
Grilling in your backyard as a stay at home dad does not constitute a company picnic.
It does when you work fully remote, are an independent contractor, and are able to grill properly (not like Kirk).
Although I took the full time job, so now it is just my lunch break, beer allowed on Fridays.
You should get hammered and tell your boss to fuck off
That always goes over well. I personally like hitting on his wife.
When you’re the boss you got a little better chance hitting in the bosses wife, not much but a little bit
pfff I never gave my bosses any respect unless they earned it. Ass kisser I’m not.
Lol, I meant when you’re the boss and hit on the bosses wife, aka your own!
Oh didn’t get that…yeah that’s to easy lol..
I’d rather partake in food and beer games outsides……..
My arm is being twisted hard to go drink beer during lunch…
I have no will power.
But no A.Busch products.
Never…they are dead to me.
Grainbelt Elite is a pretty good alternative light beer.
Does this help?
I am on my way out…I will check back in later to see what other fascinating insights you all have.
I’m in.
I just got back from a long road trip vacation. Driving all around Scotland with the wife. Great time and great views! I highly recommend it.
Did you all settle the Kirk debate whilst I was gone?
Did I hear that they cut Dalvin Cook?
Hope you all are well.
Sounds like a blast!
No. Yes. and No. are the answers to your questions.
LOL! As expected.
Yes, yes, yes.
The kirk debate has been settled for a long time.
He ain’t a winner.
I disagree…therefore the debate is not settled.
Ain’t seen any Cousin talk on here.
No need for it. The course has been established for SB victory next year.
Sounds awesome, have any good scotch whilst there?
Oh yeah, lots of good whiskey.
Good scotch? From Scotchland?
Yes, Kirk does not suck and is also not elite
Well, he’s the only QB in the league to have thrown at least 25 TD’s every year since 2015, and in the last 5 years only three other QB’s have thrown more TD’s than him. I guess elite is one of those things defined by something other than production.
A number of QBs better than him weren’t in the league five years ago
Just saying… Cousins consistently produces at an extremely high level.
Wonder if 9ers even inquired about him.
Nothing to inquire about, he’s under contract and will be a free agent after this year.
I know, talking trade proposals. He has a no trade and can’t be tagged. Man can change his mind.
I’d be shocked if ANY GM seriously considered a trade given his price demands. No other GM is dumb enough to get fleeced by Kirk.
9ers may be missing a window, not sure. Purdy might get it done.
He’s already won more playoff games than Kirk, so…
Hmmmm DE you are forgetting history here. Cousins camp offered Bruce Allen two below market deals which he scoffed at, then franchised him for more money. Then Cousins signed with the Vikings for less money than the Jets offered. Now KAM has turned down a below market offer too. He’s been fairly good about trying to work with teams. Not fleecing them.
Wasting your time. A lot of hate here.
Laughing… no doubt JR
KC should be rated higher, given line play. No doubt. I just hate qb contracts.
I don’t know, I think Kansas City is rated pretty high. They did just win their second Super Bowl in like 4 years.
He does consistently produce at an above average level, it has not correlated to team success.
Yeah… because you know, he’s only one of 53 guys…
I’m learning it’s only a team game when we win.
If the Vikings win it is in spite of Kirk. If they lose it is because of Kirk. Pretty simple really.
Thanks. Actually quite remarkable – a simple, unbiased down the middle way of thinking about it.
Oh, and if Kirk has a good statistical game it is just because he was padding his stats and Hock and JJ are all world. Anybody would be good with those 2 to throw to.
Ha This just keeps getting better. And certainly if Kirk throws 5 TD’s and we win the SB, it was only because KOC called the greatest offensive game of all time.
Sounds about right to me. If they lose on a missed field goal, they a good QB would have just scored a TD.
No Cn’t use that one – already been used when we lost year before last to cardinals when Joseph missed xp length FG to win at buzzer.
We need sig lines on this site so NVF can just use this one….
Cousins is the only QB in the league to have thrown at least 25 TD’s every year since 2015, and in the last 5 years only three other QB’s have thrown more TD’s than him.
Then a few need – 4th and 8.
For sure.
That sounds like an awesome trip!
Hi Kathy. Life trending up in the new crib?
Yes, we’ve crossed lots of stuff off the “to do” list. Mostly still left is waiting for the furniture we ordered and need help hanging pictures. Then, we’ll have a party. Thanks for asking. Still behind on NFL news though.
Camp July 29, you got time.
Agree, starting to feel like a normal human again, haha!
You and sis have had some bumps in the road. Looks like things are going right direction.
Yes, it was definitely a rough year. We still love the new place though, it’s perfect for what we needed, so that really helps.
Can’t remember if I mentioned it here, but about a week ago my cousin was in a head on collision when someone just crossed the center line (CRAZY drivers). Car is totaled and she’s banged up and broke her sternum, but nothing like my sister’s injuries, thank goodness.
Driving now days is a crapshoot. Bad.
Pretty much every day I see drivers do dangerous, stupid things.
Nothing to see here.
Hunter Biden used his father’s name to extort Chinese business partner: IRS whistleblower

History to be made! After Trump is re-elected, he can become the first president to pardon himself.
first president elected from prison AND to pardon himself.
LOVE IT
Zero chance he wins.
And I don’t mind trump fwiw.
I will go even further.
Zero chance any republican wins.
Mass Ballots everywhere…..
Yep, as Sniffer admitted, they have developed the largest voter fraud organization in the world.
Yep
It’s electronic now we don’t need paper to cheat boomers.
He’s a sack mommy concerned with nothing but himself and a dipshit who can’t get out of his own way, some of his policies were good if you can’t get past the douchebaggery though
Supreme Court rules in favor of Biden.
GOP needs to make better cases set on precedent/standing before thinking they can win.
Student Loan decision imminent.
They absolutely need to.
But this is a terrible catch 22. The Feds have the authority to enforce the immigration law. They choose not to, so the states step in for self protection. And the court says you have no right to protect yourself – that’s the Fed’s job.
Student loan will probably be similar.
don’t know if the states or plaintiffs have standing to sue for something thst hasn’t harmed them yet.
Better chance as there are several other plaintiffs besides the states.
There are, but do they have standing because they haven’t been harmed?
Not sure about that, but this is a stronger case. In the immigration case, the courts have always given federal agencies much deference in what they enforce and what they don’t. In the student loan issue, the White House is twisting some other laws for use on student loans. Would think a conservative court would not buy this,but we’ll see.
Correct.
The only thing would be executive spending without congressional approval. But that’s iffy because the courts have allowed executive spending in the past.
Student loan forgiveness is dead.
They’ll cancel it.
Viking Udoh. In a months time cited for 97 mph in a 55. 64 in a 55 and reckless driving. Rhodes scholar.
i’ve done that many times.
trick is don’t get caught.
I do it all of the time.
I get caught once every 3 years.
Idiot
if we have a top 15 defense and a top 5 o……
It will be Kirks fault the D is not Top 10.
Kirk will wither, only lead one scoring drive when the playoffs come around and throw short of the sticks on 4th and 8.
i wish kirk would have subbed for….well really anyone on defense, and just made a play and then said YOU LIKE THAT to donatell
Even if the defense were top 10, it will be the defenses fault for a 4th and 8 throw short of the sticks.
It would be scary to meet this little girls mother.
I can imagine but only in my Nightmares.
Agree. She’s mimicking something she’s seen before.
Unfortunately probably something she has seen often.
Correct.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Would have been better to throw to JJ in triple coverage so we have an interception or incompletion ….. then we all will sleep better.
Still would have been Kirks fault for throwing into Triple Coverage and causing an Interception.
Yep.
Holding the highest paid player on the team in the most important job on the team comes with a high performance bar. Shocking to many.
I know.
And he is the lightening rod for anything goes wrong, fair or not.
Shocking to many, I know.
Holding the highest player to the highest standard is indeed appropriate. but evaluating such player through the appropriate lense with proper context is also appropriate.
Yup,
The Criticism goes with the job.
But that doesn’t make all of the Criticism accurate.
We will have neither imo
Daytime high for Solon Springs tomorrow is 80 degrees. 30 miles north, Superior will top out at 58.
WTF!! Wind must be coming in off the lake….
Anyway, I’m planning on doing some walleye fishing Saturday morning on the St. Louis.
sounds like climate change.
stay in your house, reduce trips is possible
We have a graduation party in Stanchfield tomorrow. It is way out in the boonies of Minnesota. Hopefully we can find out way out of the woods.
Nothing town between Cambridge and Mora, what a shithole area, woof.
It’s a wonderful place of peace and solitude
I’m not surprised city boy ben would think being away from all the rat race is a $h!t hole
Easy there. That’s not far from where I grew up. Loved it so much I moved 800 miles away as soon as I could.
Have you ever watched the “Terror in the Woods” series?
RIP VP
I have not watched that series. Maybe I’ll wait until I get out of the woods before I watch it.
Here is a survival tip…don’t be out in the woods at night, and if you are staying in a remote cabin/house be sure to lock all the doors, and it doesn’t hurt to be packing heat.
And if you hear clawing sounds high on the outside of your dwelling don’t be a dufus and go out to check unless you are armed.
What happens in Stanchfield stays in Stanchfield.
I don’t fish and I haven’t watched baseball in years. Apparently this is me during the off season.
I play in the diry
Name of your sex tape
i fish AND watch baseball…
been a very busy summer for me
I just play softball and go to the mountains. Summer is just preparation season for September when the real fun starts and arrows hopefully fly.
what mountains?
i’m heading out to Kalispell/Glacier in a couple weeks. Renting a cabin that is right on flathead lake.
Nice. I haven’t been to Flathead for a long time. We go all over. Little Belts, Bighorns, Beartooths, Big Snowies, Little Snowies, Absarokas, and one or two trips to the lake. We don’t really go to the west side of the state. It’s a long drive with the camper and unnecessary with so many mountains closer.
i will be driving across the entire state of montana….
unfortunately driving through the entire state of ND to do so, send me thoughts and prayers
That’s why ND is there. It’s Montana’s moat to keep the riff raff out. They’re slacking though and Minnesotans are getting through at record numbers.
oh that is unfortunate.
Need a deeper moat.
We need to do a better job advertising the bear and bison attacks and start training them to be more aggressive when they see blue and white license plates.
We’re going to start busing illegals. What’s your address?
Montana’s full.
Supposed to rain all weekend here, which is good because we need it. I think kiddo and I are gonna go up to Minot tonight & do stuff up there, hit the zoo & what-not.
Minot’s zoo is awesome! Have you been up since they did the new Tiger enclosure?
Hit the “Wee Links” while you are here.
2013 Vikings defense under Leslie Frazier
32nd in Points 31st in Yards
2014 Vikings defense under Mike Zimmer
11th in Points 14th in Yards
What a difference a year makes.
can Flores make this jump?
how far does this team go if the Vikings have the 11/14 ranked D and a top 5 O?
Probably a first round playoff exit.
No change.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Probably right.
Depends on who they draw.
I don’t think it matters.
We were home against the the #6 seed and lost.
The Giants game was unfortunately trash. going forward, believe we can beat teams like Seattle, maybe Rams and Detroit. But if we draw 49ers or Cowboys, believe those are tough match ups for us.
They drew the worst team in the entire playoff field last year and got embarrassed at home in the WC round, it was the best possible matchup and they shit the bed. It does not depend on who they draw.
They shit the bed last year because for whatever the reason they decided to make Jones look like the second coming of Dan Morino.
Going forward, I have some hope that the defense will improve.
And also going forward, just me I guess, I would rather draw Seattle than the 49ers.
With a top 15 defense and a top 5 O we would win our first home play off game. After that hard to say.
With a top 15 defense and top 5 offense – if you stay healthy and are hot late in the year, you can go far.
Unless the QB throws short on 4th and 8.
If we have a top 15 defense and a top 5 O we won’t be in a situation in the 1st round where we are forced to go for it on 4th and 8.
OK. Keep telling yourself that.
If we have a top 15 defense and a top 5 O we won’t be in a situation in the 1st round where we are forced to go for it on 4th and 8
…..If we have a top 15 defense and a top 5 O we won’t be in a situation in the 1st round where we are forced to go for it on 4th and 8
..If we have a top 15 defense and a top 5 O we won’t be in a situation in the 1st round where we are forced to go for it on 4th and 8
LOL….
“Light as a feather, stiff as a board….”
the 4th and 8 throw – I prefer the 4th and 18.
You would prefer a meaningless pass in a regular season game to a meaningful one in a play off game.
Well maybe because I played sports and was trained to move on and focus on the positive.
So what, many of played sports, some still do
You know many that focus on the negative?
Vikings currently have neither
It was a hypothetical question you chuckwagon.
Ben is Dum Dum
LOL, WTF, why you calling me a food wagon
But what’s the point, the Vikings have neither and will continue to have neither for at least a couple years.
zim Went 32 to 11 on d.
why can’t Flores?
Well Duh!!!
Zim > Flores.
because there’s this fable that says you have to tank and suck for a few years, then you will burst out into glorious sunshine on the other side.
‘fable’ is the right term for that belief.
Not much different from the fable that says all we need is a top 10 defense and OL.
If we have a top 10 line, and a top 10 defense, with our skill players I’d bet on us against anybody
Over the course of a season, I agree.
In the most important game of the year I’m not convinced.
Well, if we get to the SB and play the Chiefs, I want 3 points.
That is an interesting point DE,
It should be researched. I did the research that showed there is no correlation between sucking and then winning a Super Bowl at any point up to 5 years after sucking.
If you have a top 10 defense and a top 10 Oline do you have a statistically better chance of winning a Super Bowl vs teams that don’t. I would think so, but research would have to be done.
I would think you would to.
But I doubt any direct correlation can be determined. Football is not a static concept. It’s dynamic.
OL improves to top 5. Gets great pass blocking, gives the QB more time. Does the QB think, “I have more time so I can wait on my decision to throw” waiting for the perfect time to throw? Rather than improve, the QB gets sacked more thinking they have more time to be better.
Same could be said for the play calls. Does the offense take less risks because the OL and defense is much better?
I don’t automatically buy that a better OL and defense improves the team. What’s between the ears of the players matters.
Who knows for sure. But I’m very confident if you ask any QB that has played at a fairly high level, pressure has a big affect on performance. All these guys in the NFL will perform better with less pressure – it becomes 7 on 7 drill.
WRT play calling. if you have a line that can block a 3rd and 1, life is a whole lot easier for the play caller.
Lifer protects trans kids
My boy said he was an airplane the other day… so my wife and I started giving him jet fuel at every meal instead of water or milk.
Waiting for him to say he’s Hunter so I can load him up on cocaine and hookers.
We should protect kids from groomers, teachers who encourage them to be trans because they are psychopaths themselves, and parents who give them hormones and have their genitals lopped off.
yes to all.
Yes we should protect our children from being groomed….
How many mind and body altering drugs and surgeries did this kid have to go through?
Not a salient point on the issue. He was groomed and murdered people.
He saved and defended his life against pedophiles. That’s not murder.
LOL….
Great gif right there !
Eh, I think we’ve all done that.
Thank God he was able and ready to defend himself from the “mostly peaceful” rioters who were trying to kill him.
Rittenhouse? He didn’t murder anyone, he shot three felons including a pedophile, but yeah, we all know you support those kind of people.
Pedophilia is a sexual orientation, not a mental disorder. If you don’t support them you are just a right wing bigot.
Rather be a right wing bigot that someone who supports kid diddlers.
Yep. I’ll wear that one proudly.
So, teaching a child how to defend himself and those around him is grooming? Okay
Yeah, guns are a good tool to oppose psychos who seek to sterilize children.
terrible trigger discipline.
I was going to say the only thing wrong with this picture, is his finger on the trigger.
Indeed.
Just another reason why the Lynx are not valid to me in the sports world.
Shove it Lynx, losers.
The WNBA is a joke

With this guide we aren’t going to have too many members of congress left.
Yeah, many fit that description, I like Pat though
GOOD MORNING ALL YOU STUPID LIBS!
That you’re a stupid lib?
Or is he only saying good morning to Lifer and Slusher?
Very few on here have not been labeled a stupid lib by KarenFingers
Yeah, I didn’t get it until the end and then I became baby Zuckerberg somehow.
LOL, I missed the baby zuckerberg
LOL, that was funny
Yeah, I have zero power here so not sure how we got to that point but whatever. Colorado IPA drinking logic.
So baby Zuckerberg is another way to call you a stupid lib?
He’s never called me a stupid lib.
I do have other nick names though hahaha
I feel left out.
He hasn’t called me any names.
^^^ stupid lib.
Reposting today…. Because I’m a big dumdum here.
I do believe the Democrats would pull a lot of crap, but this a little over the top.
Note that the term “Top Secret” is used… that’s actually true. Our defensive underwater sensors are top secret. This information should not be public. Thanks media leakers. Weaken National Security so you can score points.
The national media has absolutely no integrity any more.
Yes. There are certain things that should be secret.
Ok.
I said yesterday or the day before there was more to this story…
and there was.
FALSE FLAGGGGGGGGG
happens all the time
*Formerly top secret acoustic detection system
They became dust in a blink of an eye
What does this have to do with anything?
also, really hard to be dusty underwater Skolly.
I’ll bet that was a quick death, that’s a good way to go if it’s your time.
So what are you thinking about how it happened?
Like, their bodies just exploded instantly?
Pressure is 380x bigger than on the surface. A millisecond.
Still…
the pressure on the dems with the Hunter chargers and Durham report was greater than that.
And yet, not a vote will change because of it.
That pressure would be a force inward right?
A hole opens, water rushes in, and the ocean pressure crushes you.
Seems like it would be more like being squished to death rather than exploding. Like a giant wrecking ball landing on top of you.
Inward, yes. Rather that than no oxygen.
Here’s a visual.
All that in a millisecond
Wow.
Interesting.
As soon as the smallest crack or hole developed the carbon fiber vessel would have imploded immediately and violently. Along with their bodies being crushed the carbon fiber would have been inward shrapnel.
Ya, it would be instantaneous. The mind probably wouldn’t even register that there is reason to be alarmed.
Probably is, but would like to have time for a quick prayer before it happens.
I was a boy scout. I just try to always be prepared. One could die a sudden & tragic death pretty much any time.
I was one too and do try to be prepared. But if given a chance, would take one last one.
Sure, can’t hurt.
this is what you call a false flag event dum dum mick
Gm.

Mornin, FTP
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
79 days until the Bucs come to town for the first regular season game. Heard Baker Mayfield is doing great here in Tampa. Hopefully our defense doesn’t make him look like Tom Brady.
Baker does have some talent but believe the Bucs receiving corps can be handled, But yes, if we can’t handle the Bucs offense, we are in for a long season.
There is sufficient tape on Mayfield to know what he does well, and what he does not do well. Belichick’s fundamental strategy on defense his entire career has been based on one premise. Take away what a team does well and force them to beat you with their weakness. Flores needs to take away what Mayfield does well… whatever that is.
True. I believe Baker’s biggest weakness is trying to do too much when nothing is there. And to this end, he makes mistakes under pressure. Sure Flores knows that, but can our guys execute what Flores wants.
The Bucs were dead last in rushing last year, and wholly dependent on Brady’s arm to move the ball. He threw it a ridiculous 733 times for almost 4,700 yards last year, and put up 25 TD’s. If the Bucs think Mayfield is gonna carry the offense like that, I don’t think they’re gonna be very happy with the results.
If healthy, he does have arm talent. He’s cocky too.We just need to keep him in his place and not feed his confidence with stupid mistakes and easy throws..
Mayfield is decent when healthy, but he’s mostly been beat to shit throughout his career so far.
Would be nice if the Vikings could add to his ills…
They had their chance.
Browns won 14-7.
The defense sucked in that game.
For those of you in the area, practice tickets for fans are available.

I’m sure there will be a pride practice for Lifer.
Reading some of the posts here, seems like Lifer will have some company enjoying pride practice.
I’m proud I’m a heterosexual male, but apparently I’m a terrible person for being so.
Dang I didn’t know that. Believe I had read here several times about you having relations with a certain Viking player.
Laughing… you need to consider the source.
Sssssh There’s a certain buddy of his lurking who puts red flags on comments.
Oooooohhh… red flags! My self-image is all but destroyed!

Just call out who you think it is.
I suspect you think it’s me.
I haven’t put one red flag on you.
But I will now since you think you are so smart.

Thanks That’s thoughtful of you.
You started this particular thread poking some fun, I just poked a little too.
If the shoe fits wear it, if not, why respond like this.
If you make inaccurate claims, I will call it out.
Whether its football or anything else.
That’s just who I am.
Well, since you have been around here a lot, I wonder about something you may know.
Lifer gets a lot of red flags for his political junk – understand.
I also see red flags get attached to posts that even in a small way defend Cousins – even true stuff.
I’m not the smartest guy, but would figure that’s probably not guys that like/support him. More likely coming from the crowd that are his detractors don’t you think?
I have no idea who it is.
I wanna know
It’s not me…I blow up in your face bitch.
It’s a lurker…they down vote mine as well.
And I am crushed every time they do that to me.
Makes me chuckle
I know it’s not you.
you’re a stupid lib but you’re not a downvoting stupid lib.
Down voted, just because.
Fair.
I would definitely make, without a second of hesitation, this trade for Caleb Williams.
Now Florio talks about what the Vikings should do with Justin Jefferson in regards to his contract and I agree 100% with Florio on his opinion, PAY JUSTIN JEFFERSON NOW.
The reasons are justified, economically sound and simply the right thing to do. Below is Florio’s takes on the matter, starts at the 3:35 mark of attached video. His points…
I detailed this several days ago. Hate when Florio does this. Although plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, I’m getting tired of him stealing my stuff.
Great minds think alike. I’ve always thought he’s usually right on most topics with his pragmatic lawyer mind.
We do seem to have our problems getting contracts done for important players.
KAMs gonna botch this 100% with JJ cause he sucks.
^^^^ Super GM Book it
You’re just racist
I know it’s a lot for your guys small brains but you didn’t answer the initial question would you trade JJ for the #1 overall pick to acquire Caleb Williams?
I believe i would.
Nah. Trade Cousins, let Mullens play the year and trade up. Or let Cousins play the year, barely miss the playoffs or go one and done and have to give up the farm to move up for a QB. Should have just drafted one this year to sit behind Kirky.
I would not.
Meh, I’d prefer send him away for 3 1s.
Yeah…put the pipe down PA.
I don’t want to answer the question simply because it’s stupid. I don’t like “fantasy land” questions that have no bearing in reality. The fact is, until next year’s draft comes around and we know who has the #1 pick (presumably, that’s what will be required to secure Caleb Williams) and what their draft needs are, there’s no way to ensure the outcome of this make believe trade.
Well unfortunately your inability to answer the question is less that it’s stupid, fantasy land or has a lack of bearing on reality and more that you have the reading comprehension skills of a mushroom. It clearly stated if it guaranteed the #1 overall pick so it is inferred that whatever scenario required, team, position etc…would ensure the option to draft Caleb. Thanks for playing.
I knew what you implied, would you do it?
