Minnesota Vikings Discussion
Not much news out there, lots of speculation about who the Vikings will target in free agency, and that’s about it. The Vikings have not re-signed any of their own free agents, but I doubt any of those guys will sign without testing the market to see what kind of contract offer they can get. Kwesi hasn’t shown any desire to offer more than a one or two year deal, and I’m guessing guys like Byron Murphy will want at least a 3-year deal, so it’s not shocking that they haven’t come to terms with any of those folks. We’ll have to wait until March 12th.
NLNVF posted a great comment late yesterday, a ‘wish list’, that I’m going to copy and paste here because I’m not sure how many of you saw it, and it’s well worth a read.
The following was posted by No Longer New Viking Fan:
In the “a man can dream” realm, here are some folks I “wish” we could garner in free agency:
First, Trey Smith, Guard, KC Chiefs. Smith is a powerful mover in the run game, as his run block win rate of 75.1% ranks sixth among guards. In pass protection, he has the foot speed to mirror interior defenders and the strength at 6-6, 321 pounds to anchor against bull rushes. He’s 26, and unfortunately, given his traits and age, Smith should reset the market at the position. Still, I would want him on the Vikings O-line, like, immediately.
Second, D. J. Reed, CB, NY Jets. I think Reed is one of the best pure cover corners in the league, with press-man skills and the transition speed to break on the throw. Over his career he has 40 pass breakups, and six interceptions. He is a scheme-agnostic corner who can fit in multiple NFL systems.
Third, Osa Odighizuwa DT, Dallas Cowboys. Osa had 4.5 sacks this season, and his 30 pressures were tied for the second most among defensive tackles. Odighizuwa fits best as a 3-technique and can be a pass-rushing threat in nickel fronts. I like this guys motor, and he’s a handful at the line of scrimmage. Immediate upgrade to our defensive front.
If I were KAM, I would make a serious run at these guys.
Vikings News
KX News thinks that trading down from 24 seems inevitable for the Minnesota Vikings. I think KX News is making the false assumption that the Vikings will enter the draft with the same number of draft picks that they possess right now, and I think it’s inevitable that the Vikings will make moves to procure more draft picks prior to the draft. I’m guessing one of us is incorrect.

Yahoo Sports grades every NFL coaching hire. Grading a coaching hire prior to seeing them coach a single game for that team is about as useless as grading a draft pick prior to that draft pick playing an NFL snap, IMO. Oh well, they need to have something on which to click.
Matthew Stafford plans to play in 2025, according to NFL.com. The headline doesn’t specify WHAT Stafford plans to play, whether it’s Monopoly, or pinochle, or football, or whatever, so you’ll have to read it to find out. Let me know!

Read an interesting line today from Harry Truman – ” Show me a man that gets rich being a politician and I’ll show you a crook.”
Indeed… story of Joe Biden’s life.
Amen. FJB!
Oh noticed you had a big birthday last week hen I was out of town. Happy Birthday and welcome to the big seventies club.
Thanks JR. Gonna go play 9 holes of golf tomorrow. Supposed to be sunny with a high of 78 degrees tomorrow. Hope I don’t kill or maim anyone on the course.
FJB
FJB. Pass.
and Dick Cheney
And Polosi.
There are 100s of them currently.
It’s amazing how many politicians get paid for doing nothing. You can be vested 2 years in congress for pension money and get health care for life. Wish i could have voted for such issues.
Had a eye exam. Dilated pupils. Look at computer screen i feel like i’m staring at sun.
Oh yeah, that’s fun. Try sunglasses, those should help until the stuff they put in your eyes wears off.
Of course today is a bluebird day in Minny.
It’s crazy warm here, high in the 40s. Supposed to cool off on Monday, I think there’s a high of 5° that day..
Not going to address global warming. I don’t mind a cold front on occasion. What i do like is lack of snow. Man, pulling up to a 4 way stop and you can’t even clear the intersection.
LSD does that, too.
I cut back on that brad.
Only using on days that end in Y?
I just watch evening news now, same affect.

Tim?? 😂😂😂
Does The Davenport have an agent who is a graduate of the KC School Of Contracts?
If I were KAM, I would not look for a trade with the 24th pick. If a team called me asking for a trade, I would do my best to fleece them. If he could trade back and stay in the 1st round and get maybe a 2nd or 3rd. Jump on it.
Quick question: are the Vikings able to sign would be FAs from now to the end of the SB, or do they have to wait until free agency opens?
The can sign players to ‘Future Contracts’.
‘To be eligible for a reserve/future deal, players can’t be on an active roster when the season ends. Once a player signs such a contract, they are committed to join the team’s 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.’
Okay, so I should not be concerned that they have not signed any of the upcoming free agents? I understand that some of them are going to want to see what their market is, but I would think there are some that would prefer to stay in MN.
Players under a current contract cannot be signed until the new league year begins, and that contract expires, that is in March.
They can extend/sign their own players now as long as they are under contract.
March 12th:
> The 2025 League Year and Free Agency signing period begin at 4:00 p.m., New York time.
> Trading period for 2025. Trading begins at 4:00 p.m., New York time, after expiration of all 2024 contracts.
> The first day of the 2025 League Year will end at 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 12. Clubs will receive a Personnel Notice that will include all transactions submitted to the league office during the period between 4:00 p.m., New York time, and 11:59:59 p.m., New York time, on March 12.
They can sign any of their own free agents, but it’s in the players best interest to test the market first.
Moral question –
I have one of my grandfather’s deer rifles. It’s a Winchester Model 1894 .32 Special, with a Lyman tang peep sight on it.
I will not use it. I don’t ‘collect’ guns. I am wicked accurate with the rifle I’ve used since Dad gave it to me on my 16th birthday, and I won’t use anything different unless mine gets stolen, and I would replace it with the exact same rifle.
I would really love one of them cheating fish finders that Minnesota is considering making illegal. It would be about an equal trade for one of the older models.
Do I sell/trade the gun?
yes
Is there another family member that would appreciate/use your GFs rifle?
Is Minn considering making the ‘selling’ of the fish finder illegal or the use of?
As it is a ‘Moral Question’ your own set of Morals will determine the right or wrong of the question. I just ask the questions for context.
Started to reply pretty much the same thing after my smart ass answer, if you were given the gun to own it’s up to you what you do with it.
When my mother was cleaning out her house to move into assisted living she had a truly horrid set of formal dishes with a ‘bamboo design’.
She tried to sell them online and couldn’t so she offered them to family but only if they promised not to sell them.
She failed to see the illogic of that, but she can attach whatever conditions she wanted on the gift I guess.
The family who hunt and were a part of his life are pretty well stocked with guns. With Dad passing last week there will be several more rifles available as well.
I believe the push is to make ‘using’ the forward facing sonar devices illegal.
Do you think forward facing sonar should be illegal? Never fished with one, but from watching YouTube I guess I understand the argument.
I don’t believe they should be illegal, but limit numbers must be decreased or we’ll end up with lakes full of rough fish only.
Of course, that will piss off the people who don’t have FFS, having lower limits because of the “rich folk and their toys.”
Maybe lower limits will reduce the population of “rich folks”?
Do you have a home water?
Not really. Fishing is fairly poor locally because I live in a higher populated area and relatively few lakes – the decent lakes get hammered. Good fishing is at least 90 minutes away.
We fish mostly “up north” – 2 hours away. We also take a few trips waaaaaaaaay up north – 5-6 hours drive.
We stop just a bit short of the border, but stand on a bucket and you can see it from there…….
There’s a good sized lake here within city limits. I’ve lived here for 25 years. I used to fish it a lot. In 25 years I’ve had 2 good days on the ice. Daily limit is 10 panfish in aggregate. The lower limit just hasn’t made the fishing any better because a jillion people fish it.
Last time I fished there I caught 3 perch.
3 weekends ago drove an hour away – son and I caught over 100, all tiny. Last weekend, I drove 90 minutes away. Fished 2 hours, son and I caught over 80 bluegill, kept 34 good sized fish, threw back a bunch of other keeper-sized fish.
I miss panfish, always a lot of fun. I quit fishing trout about 8 yrs ago because I got tired of floating rivers with 100’s of people. Way too many guides. Closest walleye water is about 2 hrs. Limit is 5 but only 1 can be over 15″. Doesn’t make sense to me, hasn’t seemed to change the age classes since implemented. I did get a 32″ out of there and daughter got a 30″
They are a crappie killing machine, that’s for sure. I mean, yeah, you still have to get the fish to bite, but it puts an X on the ice for you to drill right on top of them.
Sure. It’s a cool gun, but it is not ultra unique beyond sentimental value, I don’t think.
Consider it your grandpa helping you enjoy some fishing.
I like that spin!!
Had a similar situation: Late paternal uncle gave me a custom single shot scoped .223. Composite stock, sweet trigger. Shot many pdogs 150 yds +. Quit shooting it for a variety of reasons, mainly was shooting other stuff. Wanted to get Humminbird CHIRP with SI and DI etc. Wife wasn’t big on the upgrade. Asked my dad what he thought, he thought I’d use the Humminbird much more and the pistol would continue to sit. He thought his brother would approve. I sold and bought the fish finder. You looking at live scope?
Wife thinks my fish finder is cheating.
I would actually get the older Panoptix. It doesn’t have the definition the Livescope has, but it has a longer range.
I use a .243 Winchester single shot for deer. My buddies land and my stand does not require 200 yard shots. Deer are magnificent animals, don’t want to screw it up.
Good attitude. Wish more people would take ethical, steady shots. A single shot forces you to do just that.
Last time I needed 2 bullets on a deer was Thanksgiving, 2007.
Think it’s fair to deer. 1 shot disciplines you. Some of those meadow hunters just unload.
Keep the gun and buy the fishfinder anyway, just ask for forgiveness later.
I’ve been watching the coverage of the terrible accident last night. The commentary about what the helicopter was doing I think is off center. The helicopter was on a training flight, which the news folks inappropriately assume means the pilots were engaged in flight training, to improve, or maintain their skills. This isn’t quite right. This was a Continuity of Government (COG) training flight. COG flights by a military helicopter take specific Government officials including the President, away from the Capitol, in the swiftest possible means to preserve the function of the Government in times of crisis. Think of an impending nuclear attack on D.C. by an enemy to destroy the Government leadership. The military trains to take the Government leaders to specified safe spaces as quickly as possible, to maintain continuity of Government. By the way, night goggles are not viable in highly lit areas, basically blinding the wearer.
Lots of speculation going on here, that are missing the mark entirely.
I have not read much about it at this time. The bit of news I saw was too politicized, so I was waiting for a cooler summary.
Why not do these training flights after midnight when Reagan is closed.
These training flights go night and day JR. The flights are indeed conducted after midnight. The pilots fly in bad weather, and all times of the night and day, so if they are needed, they can execute at any time, and in any type of weather.
As a former Huey pilot this is a bad place or situation to be in. You (thses guys) are going about 110 mph and the Jet is going at 150, closing speed 260. Not much time for left or right. The jet is probably falling at over 100 feet per second. So really hard to adjust altitude that quickly. I’m saying by the time you’re ‘there’, you screwed.
Something is wrong. Put the black hawk on the far side of the Potomac at 200 feet and the planes will be at a higher elevation coming in or going out.
Maybe because they want them to train in the conditions in which they will do the actual job.
Would guess if we are in a condition where we need to remove senior officials from DC Reagan as well as Dulles and BWI would be closed.
So are you suggesting that every time a senior official is removed from DC by Helicopter they need to shut down 3 airports??
Seems most un-logical to me.
No. I was replying to NLV’s comment Continuity of Gov’t post. When they are in that situation, the airports shut down.
Now. I’m sure they are many shuddles daily of officials but doubt many of those are flying in the middle of the Potomac in the glide paths of in/out aircrafts. It’s a big river, lots of space.
Interestingly, just read on Fox this was a ‘night pilot certification’ which I think is different than what NLV is suggesting (maybe not though).
Additional the potential sec of Army is questioning this place/timing of training.
And at my age, logic sometimes escapes me.
Logic should be informed by facts.
I often lack the pertinent facts to make logical choices/decisions/opinions.
This is one of those times.
I have no problem with questioning the choosing or mandating the routes that the helicopters use.
But if the routes were chosen or mandated for valid reasons they the pilots need to be trained and familiar with flying those routes.
At night a lot of flying is instruments and one degree is far greater than the width of the Potomac.
Would guess after this, training routes will be changed or it will come out the black hawk wasn’t quite where it should have been.
JR, the helicopters take the officials to safe places not to an airport. I can’t talk about locations/sites. They don’t fly them to an airport to catch a flight though.
Cute!
Keeps the fly population down.
Kill it with fire!
Actor Idris Elba has solved the knife crime problem in England.
“Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them. That sounds like a crazy thing to say, but you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to look at it…”
I wish I had the wherewithal to be able to say something that stupid in public and be able to live with myself afterward.
Victim blaming of knives! How dare he?!
Charles Minor has always beeen an idiot.
He probably also thinks all of the knives should be forged at Saticoy Steel
At least he is aware of his effect on women…
The man certainly doesn’t appreciate the effort it takes to turn all the bagels into C’s…… for Charles.
At least she knew it was a crazy thing to say.
They’re up front paying, came up to stand next to them.😀
You are an envelope pusher…..I wonder what the origin of the phrase is?
Ahh, my curiosity is satisfied…
It still doesn’t explain to me why they use the word envelope
Envelope is also a mathematic term that has something to do with curves.
I believe it is used meaning the envelopment of all the aircrafts capabilities, not an envelope one would send a letter in.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhbh
Stated better than my post.
A Rec for you.
The ‘envelope’ is staying inside the boundaries of what is believed to be safe.
If you are pushing the boundaries you are pushing out the ‘envelope’ of the ‘norms’.
Boundaries suck
Thanks for confirming that you are a ‘boundary pusher’ aka ‘envelope pusher’.
@Forgot the sarc font@
Good Gif is good.
Rec for you.
+ Well Plaid.
I regret that I have but one Rec to give this post.
Yup.
I don’t know, that one never made sense to me. It must be something, they used it in top gun.
I was expecting them to be old.
The guy seemed all right, that girl was crabby as hell.
Crabbier now. 😀
Maybe it was just her time of 3 day crazies.
I’m pretty sure she’s just a psychopath
What a rabble rouser!
Me
Hey, that’s my wife, who is she with?
That’s definitely not me.
LOL, they’re leaving. She glared at me on her way out, I smiled back mischievously, pissed her off. Mission accomplished.
Impressive!
Trump just said “bullshit” regarding a politicians activities in his address to the Nation, on the tragedy last night. I love it.
They were pushing DEI hire for flight controllers and staff.
Don’t know for certain that one of those caused the crash but having DEI personnel staffing those positions is stupid regardless.
Long story, but I took the Air Traffic control test in 89, without knowledge that there was even a study guide. I did well(88 out of 100), and was scheduled to start training in Oklahoma in January 1990. I was very much looking forward to that job. It felt like playing Missile Command a bit, and I am sure I would have been good at it.
Never got my paperwork. Called in December 89 to see what the issue is.
“We are only taking female and minority candidates at this time”
I was incredulous, as I had turned down two job offers because of that career choice, and I was shocked that my score meant nothing. Anyone that fit the preferred profile only needed a score above 80.
I have hated all quota’s and DEI things since that day.
I would be fully retired now, if not for the need to please people on the left.
And yes, that was a Bush Sr mandate.
I hate all politicians.
‘I hate all politicians’ especially when they play politics.
Not getting that job maybe extended your life.
DJT just talked about that the stress from that job shortens life of air traffic controllers which is why we need the best and brightest doing the job. That is the opposite of DEI hiring practices like the ones you experienced.
Thank you for that commentary Surly. It was bad 25 years ago, as the military was indeed directed to increase the numbers of women and people of color in those days. Still surprising in regards to Air Traffic controllers, because the FAA requirements are pretty strict.
And the airlines have been pushing for DEI hires to FLY the planes.
Having landed at Reagan many times do not at all understand how this can happen. This is a very busy airport and with all the restricted air space around there, the Potomac North and South is all there is. What was an Army helicopter doing in this air space?
They were on a training flight, normal for that area.
They are supposed to stay to a certain corridor and hight. I have heard that their ceiling is suppose to be about 200ft and the crash occurred at about 350′.
Wearing my “I hate pulling out” shirt today. Some Karen at another table says to her boyfriend “JC, do you see the shirt he’s wearing”. I’m sitting up straighter so she gets a better look. I can only hope this ruins her breakfast.
Awesome, By the way, Ebeneezers has great breakfast as well.
Awesome, good to know. I have a house to go work on a few blocks from there, House is on N 6th, would make a great investment property if you’re interested. 1115 6th St NE, it should be on the MLS.
I will let my guy know…
The state’s Minot inspector sprayed the mold on the walls but didn’t remove the moldy sheetrock first, which is about as effective as pissing into a fan to take a shower.
Pretty sure I’ll be taking over the Minot area soon.

Oops 1115 6th Ave NE
You’re such a rabble rouser GF…
I’m harmless if people leave me alone.
I’m not a big fan of taking Jesus’ name in vain. If she hadn’t done that, I would’ve reacted differently.
Pulling out?
@It’s a shirt about camping@
of course it is.
I sympathize with the poor man she has her hooks in.
This ass hole woman has bitched at the wait staff twice already. Bitched that it’s too hard to find parking when she first sat down. I’m parked at the front door WITH MY PICKUP because I know how to parallel park. What a crabby asshole. People like her deserve to be miserable. I only hope I find another way to annoy her.
Laughing. There’s one in every crowd GF. They must make everything about them, and their misery.
A lesson you learn in the army, always be nice to the cooks.
And the supply clerks.
Yep, & the medics. They can accidentally lose your shot record and you’re getting them all over again.
Oh yeah…
My wife has a friend that insists on going to eat with us on occasion. She is normally a decent person, but when she goes out to eat, something changes. For one, she can never order off a menu, everything she orders has to have either something removed or substituted. If there is a small thing on a menu or a special that does not make sense, she makes a big deal about it. Or, she will be the first to complain about how long it takes to get food, even if the place is busy.
As a former restaurant owner and service worker, I just want to explode every time we go to eat with them. My tongue is bloody from biting it the whole time.
I always treat the wait staff well, and I tip well. They do a job I would never be able to do, I would be fired within 10 minutes.
Amen. The crap most have to put up with.
Maybe she is mad because her boyfriend/husband has one that says “I hate going in”.
Eating at Charlie’s Cafe in Minot, best breakfast in Minot by far.
Agreed!
The owner is an awesome lady, she’s a runner, my son & I have gotten to know her a bit through our visits.
When something breaks you build it stronger right?
My attempt at build back better.
35 spline Moser axles, 4.56 gears, pinion brake
When I first saw the pic I thought it was freeze’s shop.
Holy shit, those are some low gears
Acceleration is critical in derby. I know several guys that run in the 500s for gears. That’s too much risk of breaking stuff for me though.
Fun!
Hair is growing on my chest just looking at that picture.
I do feel more manly when I’m working on my cars.
Beautiful
If this is your build back better, I assume you are going from the beefier axle to the weaker one.
For those of you who participated in our fantasy football league, we’re getting some little prizes made up, hopefully we’ll be sending them soon. The fella at the print shop is working on them right now. We have awards for everyone, we tried to have fun with it
Do I get the Vikings/Bills award? Stellar season just to come up short when it matters?
Kind of, you got the “I was in first until it mattered” award.
I reviewed The Killer. Mostly because they needed an article today.
I find that movie infinitely rewatchable. I think it is because it speaks my my ideal existence: not to be a killer, but to live a lifestyle without extras, so I can concentrate completely on my interests.
Yet, it is flawed, no doubt.
you could have just told me Michael Fassbender was in it, and i would be all over it.
LOVE him as an actor.
I love Fassbender, too.
I feel like we are missing out on a couple great movies featuring him.
300 was on the other night and i had forgotten that he was in it. i liked his character.
I also really enjoyed Slow West with him and also The light between oceans which is rather devastating
I really like him in Inglorious Bastards.
He probably could have been a decent James Bond.
Good call.
Agreed, Fassbender would be awesome as Bond.
Life is flawed…
Adam and Eve wrecked it for everyone.
I blame Ponder. Always.
^^This^^
Kirk’s Fault.
I enjoyed that movie
Hey Gone fishin,
Shoot me an email when you have a second (I’ve lost your email)
I have something I want to run by you….no hurry, no worry.
You bet. Actually, just send an email to [email protected].
Pron incoming!
That’s what I’m expecting
Well no sense in just sharing my selfies with Gone Fishin
We’re looking at getting a water filtration system for under the sink. We’ve been using the Britta filter type thing, but that’s getting old and we want something better. Water in Bismarck is horrific.
Anyone have any suggestions? I’m gonna look at Home Depot while I’m up in Minot.
I have had good luck with Culligan, but we rent it, and that is throwing away money. ($33/month)
If I were to buy a system, I would probably go with Waterdrop.
Awesome, thanks!
And, we got the Culligan system 25 years ago. I have looked at buying a new system several times over the years, but I keep delaying that in the hope that my wife will finally want to move to a warmer climate.
I hate spending money on the current house, since I want to leave. Since my wife gets her way, I will probably die in this house.
I can relate. I’d love to move somewhere else, but my wife doesn’t wanna move further away from her family in Billings. I’ve always been a bit of a nomad, I love moving to different places and learning about different people & cultures. I’ve been to 46 states and lived in 12 different states..
I have zero desire to move to Billings, although Spearfish SD or somewhere in Wyoming would be OK with me
BUT both of our businesses are thriving now, so I seriously doubt we’ll move, unless it’s to a smaller town, which would make me extremely happy. I hate living in Bismarck, way too big, far too clique-ish. I have my eye out for land out in the boonies.
Happy wife, happy life!
Amen
That saying works both ways.
So it will never be as valid as ‘Happy Wife, Happy Life’.
We have a whole house Express Water system that I picked up on Amerzon after reading reviews, pretty easy to install if you have intermediate plumbing skills (if not call a plumber, it is tied in to your main line). Then I have an RO system plumbed to the fridge and kitchen sink with that little 1/4″ propylene stuff called iSpring that I also picked up on Amerzon and was pretty easy to install if you have basic plumbing skills.
Get an RO system. Pretty easy to install. When I put one in, my wife “got mad” because I ruined the taste of water. I don’t use the “re-mineralizer” filter. I like the water just pure and clean.
On my way to Minot today.
Magical Minot! You should stop in for a beer except you don’t drink and I am as sick as a dog.
Safe Travels!
I can drink non-alcoholic Stella & Heineken 0, neither affect my celiacs. I just rarely bother drinking them, I just drink coffee.
Hey GF, kind of flattered you used my comments I posted last night in your discussion points above. You also mentioned that KAM is averse to long term contracts. The Vikings have reportedly had extension talks with Byron Murphy. This is KAM’s M.O. He will extend a players contract, vice offering them a 3 year deal. This gives the GM the most flexibility with managing the roster, but it gives the players the least sense of commitment or security. We’ll see how KAM moves forward with the roster, and we can discuss his methodology over the next few months. Players want a team to commit to them, but GM’s prefer not to. Just business.
Yep, that’s why it’ll be hard to get them to sign prior to free agency. They’re gonna want to test the market.
Liked your pickup choices. After these three maybe get a just an above average second guard.
Don’t know enough to comment about the contract stuff.
Honestly, we need a far better center as well. Darrisaw and O’Neill are as good as it gets in the league when it comes to our starting tackles. The interior of the line though needs to be built up. The offense has all the skill players they need, with Jets, Addison, Hock, and Jones, as our key weapons. McCarthy should have open targets to throw to, if his protection holds up.
KAM simply must address the interior of the O-line, if he intends to start McCarthy this coming season.
I am willing to suggest that Bradbury will be good enough WHEN we have better LG and RG. i feel like having BRUTAL IOL makes bradbury look worse than he is.
but that’s just me. i’m not GM or NFL scout
I think Bradbury was the weakest link once Ingram was out of the lineup
maybe so, i’m not going to die on any hill that suggests bradbury is good.
i just wonder if we actually have competent guards, if that makes his job any easier, idk.
Yeah, I understand that. It just seems that we’ve improved the guard positions, but Bradbury’s sucktitude remains
I think improving the line is a big deal if we really want to go far. And I’d go as far to suggest trading one of our skill players, like JA, to pick up some talent in the line.
I hope we spend all of our cap space money on special teams players.

Smart… wicked smart… Harvard smart.
No Dak and JR got me sick.
If only I had gotten vaccinated and wore a mask before visiting this site, I would have never gotten sick.
Yes, you should have stopped the spread.
Two weeks to flatten the curve. That is all you had to do…
