Congrats to the US Men’s hockey team. I’m still pretty pumped about that game and the memes and videos from it are awesome. The team getting Gaudreau’s kids from the stands to take a picture with the team holding their dad’s jersey made my house get pretty dusty. Jack Hughes’ interview after the game should be required viewing for any athlete representing the US in competition for the rest of time. Other than that, let’s have a great week. I’m starting it with a sick kid, but my wife got her email from her school and is now officially graduated and can be a real teacher. May God have mercy on her soul. I couldn’t do it. Dealing with stupid adults is bad enough.

Media Selection
And he OWNS you DE!
State Of The Union was a lot of fun to watch.
But then I don’t have TDS.
Can not be true as it does not support the Woke/Libs/Dims/Fake News Narrative.
Woke people just aren’t happy unless they have something to bitch about.
Seriously, have you ever see\n a group that bitches so much.
Here’s the whole post for those not wanting to click the “Show more”
The Sanitary Workers reaction was priceless.
OK…
…very helpful…(KOC’s sentiments, not the post). Gosh I love this team.
Yeah… typical KOC commentary.
Doesn’t sound like the 49ers are interested in trading him from the rumors i’ve read.
barf
They could do worse, and of course they could do better.
Thinking Mac is valuable to the 9ers as he kept them in the playoff hunt when Purdy went down for awhile last year. Purdy goes down frequently enough that Mac has real value in Frisco.
By the time the Vikings offer enough to pry him loose they could probably get a better option with those picks. Of course in typical fan fashion I have no idea who that ‘better option’ might be.
Yeah that twitter account isnt legit.
If a trade doesn’t get worked out, he will be cut.
Too expensive for his lack of production.
I am ok with it.
Of course he will break out with his new team because Vikings.
I’m going to put it right here in black and white and expect to be ridiculed when I am wrong.
-if the Vikings offer more than a ham sandwich/vet minimum for a QB2 I am going to be pissed.
-we are not winning the SB the 2026 season
-we are not winning the SB the 2027 season as we will be rebuilding the front office and presumptively starting over with another QB
-we are not winning the SB the 2028 season as the QB will be developing
-we could potentially win the SB the 2029 season
-therefore, I have gone into casual fan hibernation until February 2030 when I expect to wake up to a Minnesota-Jacksonville SB in Mexico City.

Amen!
FIFY
Makes me think of men playing women’s sports. How long until we start debating whether having bionic implants provides an unfair advantage? Some cybernetic arm wielding pitcher throwing 160 mph fastballs?
Also, why haven’t men invaded women’s tennis? The lowest ranked male tennis players could beat the top ranked women…plus three sets vs five…shoot that’s a no brainer.
Same with Golf.
Not sure if the WTA has rules against trannies.
I think the LPGA has a rule against trannies.
Renee Richards was a trans tennis player in the 80s that played vs women.
I saw him/her/it compete vs women and lose.
My buddy was even more childish than I am, and was copying the “grunt like a man” Richards performed with each swing of the racket.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_Richards
I was wrong about timing. late 70s is when I saw her/it
She has also realized that if she had transitioned in her 20s or teens, no woman would have been able to beat her, so she has actually changed her perspective of biological males ever competing vs women.
The only way to fix this, is blood tests required and only biological females compete vs each other.
Trans can start their own sports leagues, and they probably will.
@good luck with that@
What would their goal be, to make women’s sports look successful?
PS this is why I would be putting out strong feelers to trade Jefferson this offseason. Realistically the best he can do is be as effective as Thielen was this season by 2029.
You are not wrong about trading Jefferson.
Pretty sure that will happen, since I just bough his jersey.
The contract and dead hit says that would be an absolutely horrible idea. Why would you trade somebody that is one of the best at his position and take a bigger cap hit than if you just kept him on the team?
He sure didn’t look best at his position last year. He looked positively pedestrian. You trade an asset when the asset is valuable.
Not when it’s going to cost you more money to get rid of than just keeping him though.
I disagree. Trade him while the memories of seasons past are still fresh in GM’s minds, not after another poo poo season. Get a younger WR that won’t mind withering on the vine as much as Jets.
Trading him prior to June 1 would increase his cap hit by $7.5 million. Trading him after June 1 would give you $25.5 in cap saving in 2026 but would mean a cap hit in 2027 of $33 million, all for a player no longer on the team. That would be extremely idiotic.
Then we are opposites.
If we DON”T offer more than a “ham sandwich/vet minimum” for a QB I’m going to be pissed.
One of us will be pissed. I’m pretty sure which one of us it will be. Stay tuned.
KOC wants to keep his job.
We had Cousins in 22 and won division.
We had no QB in 23 and did poorly.
We had Sam in 24 and won 14 games.
We didn’t have much last year and were out of playoffs with a month to play.
Think KOC picked up on this?
LOL on Mexico City.
I think the team could compete in 2027 if McFragile plays like he did about 10% of the time last season. If that becomes the normal for him, and he improves on, well….everything QB related, he has the physical skills.
If he is not the guy long term, then I agree with you completely, and I am fine with the team going complete rebuild. but they will not.
8 wins still sells out the stadium, and that is all the owners care about.
I am still looking for the team to improve over last season in 2026, but I am not delusional enough to imagine a Super Bowl at the end of 2026 season.
Regarding Trump’s words to the men’s hockey team about “having to invite the women’s team, too”…
I took it as just a dude talking to dudes saying “Yeah, we’re gonna have fun, but just so you know, the “Mrs.” is gonna get an invite, too.”
Yet I knew the media would take that in the worst way possible.
The Woke/Libs/Dims/Fake News does not get DJTs humor. Usually it is on purpose as they pander to their base of Cat Ladies and Beta Cucks who have no idea what drives regular people.
You know, sometimes guys are just guys and act like guys. No matter how much the lib women want to beat the ‘guy’ thing out of them.
They cuss, and even make fun of women and all of that.
The Dems are losing male voters in droves these days, after years of lib women condemning them. The whole “Toxic masculinity” narrative rubbed them the wrong way. As you said, men are gonna be men. Screw the lunatic leftist’s.
I know some friends who are struggling to find Christian women worth dating and marrying.
Social Media has ruined most females these days.
Good women are still out there they are just harder to find and therefore worth a whole lot more.
Social Media and boys/men (FTFY)
I can agree that Social Media has messed up both of the sexes but since I am not interested in ‘guys’ they concern me less.
I suspect that guys are less effected by it but there are always losers that have no ‘real life’.
I helped raise my stepson…if I ever saw him send a post like the ones mentioned in the article he would have been stripped of any privileges, his phone and computer taken away for at least a year, and grounded for months.
You and I have raised our kids. This misogyny is on the post gen x parents and their worthless parenting.
‘Better to be friends to your kids then actual parents.’
Woke parents.
I sat down with my Nephews when their dad passed. I told them that I have to do some of his job since he won’t be around to do it. I explained that I would rather be the ‘Fun Uncle’ but sometimes the Dad part of the job means that I can’t be.
We had more fun times than rough ones between us but there was some of the later. They both seemed to have turned out pretty good although being in SoCal made them more woke than I would have liked.
Great on you taking on raising your nephews.
We raised three kids and would note my wife was much better at it than I was.
But no matter what, there must always be a line of who’s the parents an who’s the children.
And in the bigger picture of events, our principle job as parents, is (was) to prepare our children for adulthood.
‘my wife was much better at it than I was’
Their mom was/still is a bit of a flake. The Teacher gave them some stability and some motherly influence. At least one of them likes her better than me, the other one about 50/50. I am good with that.
Yeah, delete the social media apps. They’re all ultimately trash and used by internet idiots and even bots designed to offend.
I’ve got a couple daughters…
Since it is a slow news day, I’m just curious, is there a particular reason your friends will only date Christian women?
I hope it’s not some 1 Timothy 2:11-12 BS. Rather I hope it is that they are so adherent to Christian faith that the idea of their life partner being of a different faith is abhorrent.
I’m not a believer, but my wife is…I’d like to think she found me worth dating and marrying.
Quality is where you find it.
Even JD Vance married a good woman even though she was not Christian. My daughter married a Jew and converted, I have no problem with that.
Religion is a tool to help you get closer to God, ‘Religion is not God’.
So true. If your religion makes you a better person, it is a good religion.
I agree completely.
Now lets explain that to the Islamic types that want to eradicate us….
Yeah, the sharing the faith with their lifelong companion thing.
But also the “top values in life” aspect flows from that, too. One friend told me that women in CA are “undatable.”
I think it would have looked better had he called the USW team after their victory. Now I understand that the reason he was on the phone was because Patel called him, not that he made a special phone call…but optics. I would feel the same way if the Harris/Walz team did the same thing.
This is all with the understanding that many women’s sports are less appealing to the average viewer in terms of speed and skill, but I imagine how I would feel as the father of one of those players.
That’s the thing, he didn’t call either team. Kash called Trump. Nobody was at the women’s locker room with a direct line to Trump.
But that fact does not support the Left/Woke/Dims narrative so it must be ignored.
I don’t know exactly how Trump phrased this in his address to the men’s team, and I don’t care to go back and listen to his words to parse them out. The liberal media consistently does everything in it’s power to denigrate Trump. That includes blatantly lying to the public. Trump continues to sue them (and win) over their lies, which I love. The BBC is about to learn a $10B lesson in that regard.
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-remarks-us-mens-olympic-hockey-team-february-22-2026/
Trump could say, “I want to cure cancer…..”, and the dems and media would take it out of context.
He says hi to someone, and they take it out of context.
It would be more like, I want to cure prostate cancer…I suppose I’d better fund breast cancer as well or I might be impeached. Hahahaaaa…..throat gurgles
Man I’m going to miss him tonight.
Who?
Trump or Schiff?
Shifty is not planning to attend the SOTU.
Also…
Well instead of ‘fund(ing) breast cancer’. It would be better to fund breast cancer research/cure.
Dammit! LOL
So here’s how I see the cap situation playing out for the Vikings:
1. Contract Restructures (Maximum Savings)
Justin Jefferson: As the highest 2026 cap hit ($38.9M), restructuring his deal could save over $19 million.
Christian Darrisaw: A full restructure of his deal can open up over $11 million.
Byron Murphy Jr.: Restructuring his deal can save roughly $10–$11 million.
Jonathan Greenard: A restructure or extension of his deal can create upwards of $12 million in space.
T.J. Hockenson: Restructuring his $21.3M cap hit could free up approximately $11 million.
Total 2026 cap savings: $64M
2. Strategic Cuts/Releases
Javon Hargrave: Releasing or trading Hargrave is a primary option, saving roughly $11 million.
Aaron Jones: Cutting Jones can save approximately $7–$8 million.
Ryan Kelly: Moving on from the veteran center could save over $8 million.
Jonathan Allen: Releasing him can free up over $4 million.
Brian O’Neill: While a key player, cutting him could save over $14 million, though an extension is more likely.
3. Potential for $100M+ in Total Relief
In the end, depending on what they do with O’Neill, the Vikings have the flexibility to create between $95M and $110M in total cap expansion if they use a combination of simple and advanced restructures, along with cutting high-priced veterans.
I think Ryan Kelly will be cut first.
You’re welcome.
Damn I thought you said there was a problem. There’s money all over the place to be had.
$110 million sounds pretty damn good to me ( I’m no GM though).
I never said there was a problem. I stated the reality that the Vikings are second worst in the league in cap space, and $42M in the hole.
In the end, kicking $110M in cap space down the road doesn’t “fix” the problem, it resolves it for 2026.
So what, everybody kicks the can, and then kicks the can the next year, and so on. And the cap keeps going up evert year and everyone is happy.
I’m sure that’s exactly how you operated back in the day… not.
As you are quite aware in business you have no choice – you have to win the short run while at the same time be preparing to win the long term also.
If you don’t win the short term, there will be NO long term.
If it’s not a problem, why do you keep pointing out ad nauseum that the Vikings are in the worst cap space?
Your obsession with it, implies that there is a problem.
Truth.
The dude has zero ability to take accountability and own up when he was wrong. He’ll twist his words around. “Well I never meant it this way, I simply said this”. Thanks, you took what I was going to type and did it for me. Just keeeep scrolling
Ech, not the worst thing in the world.
Been getting pretty boring around here and some don’t like the politics.
So good to have something “football” to argue over.
We’ll start seeing movement soon.
Have faith, it’ll all get worked out and we’ll be fine.
It has to get worked out… under league rules. Fine is matter of definition.
We get the QB position taken care of and this team can win the division.
In my opinion all other matters pale in comparison to getting this right.
Well $42M gets us to exactly $0 in cap space, so let’s start there. Who are you going to sign for $0?
McCarthy is the QB. The backup is likely Brosmer.
I don’t know.
But I’ll bet you all the beer in Florida there is no way in hell KOC is going. into the season with JJ and Brosner.
They will add a Vet.
Who and now cheap are the current questions.
I think of it as a BIG bowel movement after days of no joy. Gotta flush a lot of shit down the toilet. Shit players + shit contracts.
The moves have to be made in the next two weeks, so it will all be reveled shortly.
Let Kirk Tuesday commence.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48022693/falcons-gm-informed-qb-cousins-released-march-11
Yeah, I am fine with whatever the team does.
I am resigned to the fact that the Vikings will mess up the QB position until long after I am dead.
Not a shock, expected even.
Next question is what will KC do? Retire?? Find a team that needs a QB??? Vikings on a short cheap deal???? Probably another QB needy team will over him more and longer deal than the Vikings will.
I don’t see any situation in the league where Cousins fits. My expectation is he’ll be in a broadcast booth, or on some TV show for this year. Sure, there are some teams out there that could use him, but he would only take a job that gives him some chance at winning. He’s not going to the Browns or the Raiders, or the Jets. He’ll move on.
He will be in MN…..
I have my doubts NoDak. It just doesn’t feel like that is really in the cards. In many ways, Cousins has simply priced himself out of the market. Teams are looking for that fiscal balance at the QB position in the NFL. There are guys who are costing teams over $50M a year. Finding a “cheap” QB who can still produce is tricky.
Projected Highest-Paid QBs (2026 Annualized Value/Cap Hits):
Dak Prescott (DAL): ~$60M+ APY (Top contract extension)
Lamar Jackson (BAL): ~$74.5M cap hit
Josh Allen (BUF): ~$55M+ APY
Tua Tagovailoa (MIA): ~$55M-$56.4M+
Jared Goff (DET): ~$55M
Jordan Love (GB): ~$51M
Patrick Mahomes (KC): ~$56.8M (Restructured/Active contract)
Brock Purdy (SF): ~$47M
Deshaun Watson (CLE): ~$46M
Matthew Stafford (LAR): ~$40M
That is some list.
I think Stafford and Mahomes are worth the pay they are getting. I think the rest are overpaid, some by a lot.
Not sure how you move on from Lamar and Allen, but that is too much money going to one role. Yes, the QB is critical, but that is too large a % of the cap in my useless opinion.
Dak is the funniest.
Eff the cowpies.
I agree… NFL teams get cap increases every year, but that just means players want to be paid more. Cap goes up, salaries go up. Nature of the business. No one is going to pay Cousins a top shelf contract anymore at this point though, and he isn’t interested in being the next Joe Flacco.
Not sure what a list of the priciest QBs in the league has to do with our situation. We are looking for the best QB vet that we can afford. That could be KC if he is willing, probably not, or some other FA QB who hopes KOC can ‘Sam Darnold’ their career.
And what if Cousins would come play here next year for like 10 to 15 mil?
Something about being paid what you’re worth…
You’re only worth what somebody will pay. I can say my skills in my job are worth $1 million per year, but if nobody will pay me more than $100k, then I am not worth $1 million. I am only worth $100k, no matter what I think.
Yeah, but you’re never going to be a top shelf, highly productive NFL QB… now are you?
The point is that if the most a team in the league will pay him is $10 million a year, then that is what he is worth, no matter what his personal feeling is. Now, he can decide that $10 million is not worth getting beat up on a football field, but if that is what somebody is willing to pay him, that is what he is worth.
The point is, Cousins remains a top shelf QB. His brain and arm are as good as ever. Teams know he’s not signing some BS lowball contract. They know he isn’t coming in as a backup, and they know he isn’t signing with a loser team.
I expect that he will get offered more than that by someone.
I believe he signs for the most guaranteed money available.
He has publically said he wants to play another year.
If the Jets offer $15 million but the Vikings offer $12 million, he probably takes the Vikings offer.
Short of a reasonable competitive offer, he takes the most money. Always has. Always will.
Even though he claims it’s not about the money.
It’s always about the money.
That wasn’t supposed to be a number I think he would be offered, just saying that if all somebody will pay you is $10 then all you are worth is $10.
I get it.
You’re correct.
His value will be whatever team wants to pay him. And I predict he takes anything over $15 million guaranteed, regardless of the team.
The $10 million versus pain and suffering on your body, is likely his threshold.
Just my absolute WAG.
This is kirko and his entire career in a nutshell.
The guy had the balls to bet on himself with two franchise tags, and it has paid off handsomely. Good for him and his agent.
He’s 38 not 28, and not like he’s coming off a career enhancing season.
He still has a fast brain, and one of the most accurate arms in the league.
That may well be true, but he is coming off two rather lackluster seasons with the Falcons. Some (many) think he is over the hill.
If he goes to some shit team for more money, the final stages of his career will be crap, and he knows that.
Better to go to a better place for him (like us) at less money, and resurrect his image and career.
As I said earlier, he’s not going to some team that has no chance of winning, and he isn’t going to a team as a backup.
I expect he’ll retire.
Then it’s door number three – he’ll come here and lead us to the SB.
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
FTP Auto Rec for the 2nd time this thread.
Honestly one can never have enough FTPs.
Amen to that!
FTP!
Yeah, I am not creating a new post today.
I know it is Tuesday and Kirko still sucks, but
USA USA USA
No need to create a new thread.
Just saw the picture up top and thought about the good ole days.
Miracle on Ice !!!!!
Did you see who the last player cut in the movie was?
I don’t recall it, no.
Jack Hughes.
MOAR POLITICS!!!
Not sure how to read this?
The Teacher would say ‘by sounding out the words’.
#grin
usually it’s best to go from left to right….
The daily norseman would never publish the pro-American photo associated with today’s post. God Bless Skoloholics!!!!
Strange isn’t it. When did it become so un-American or out of form to be pro-American
Tuesday Nov 5th, 2024.
Close. Think it was Tuesday Nov 5th,2008.
Ummmm.
Nov 5th 2008 was a Wednesday.
NoDak, have you retired yet or are you still working reduced time? No real reason for asking except curiosity.
VP, I have successfully engineered a merger with a larger company which will save everybody’s job but mine. I negotiated that I needed to stay on as a .75 FTE through June. At the end of June I am calling it a career.
Thanks for asking!!
Excellent. It is great that you could save all of those jobs. Enjoy retirement. I’m following close on your heals, I’m retiring the beginning of Sep.
Good for you. I am looking forward to it. I think I will be able to fill up my days just fine.
Enjoy the retirement. I love it
I had all these plans for my retirement. Travel, work part time, visit relatives, etc.
Dec 2019 we went to Boise and purchased a house, closed in Jan. Then the Pandemic closed everything down for about 3 years. Most of my plans went out the window at that point.
As you would expect, the majority of posters on the Oilers fan site are Canadian, so they were naturally a little down after the hockey result. I tried to salve the wounds with a little “just a bunch of millionaires playing a game” and “much more important to me to end the drought of Stanley Cups” and the comment was made how seeing Patel guzzling champagne with the boys and Trump calling and making a somewhat sexist remark about women’s hockey (women’s hockey holds no love for me) really grinded their gears followed by my comment…well DJT says a lot of things that are offensive, it’s in his business DNA…they pointed out the eagle stomping on the goose was unbecoming of the office which I have to agree with so I decided it was best to get while the getting was good. Read the room!
The DN room is very padded.
“Somewhat sexist remark” is a bit of a stretch. He was joking with the guys and said he had to invite the women’s team too. Whole big nothing burger there. If anybody wants to find fault in that they are just looking for something to be mad about and they were probably mad that Kash was even there to cheer on the team.
People can always twist a statement into something to complain about.
It has become something of an art form with DJT.
Personally I think the Eagle/goose thing is unnecessary….but he just can’t help being a jackass.
I don’t think if in an alternate universe Canada won the gold that Carney posting a pic of a beaver doing who knows what maybe slapping a bald eagle with it’s tail would be well received south of the 49th…so I understand the consternation.
Maybe not necessary but hilarious.
Trump being Trump and most guys are fine with it. Shit talking about sports is a time honored tradition.
Not to mention it wasn’t a comment in a vacuum. It was a response to Turdboy saying the US couldn’t beat Canada at hockey.
How many Vikings were playing?
The DN rarely post anything that isn’t a podcast – or so it seems.
not interested in listening to a bunch of slapdicks talk Vikings football.
rather read a bunch of slapdicks talk about Vikings football.
Also, saying ‘slapdick’ would get me banned over there.
because, you know….. slapdicks.
And, rec for Slapdick!
Is it Un-American of me not to really be that invested in the US Hockey team winning Gold? Or anyone else in the Olympics? I watched some curling and some hockey over the past weeks but was pretty apathetic.
No.
I don’t get into any other Olympic sport other than hockey.
I was 18 for the 1980 games.
That is etched in my memory forever.
Greatest MN sports story of all time.
One of the greatest movies ever.
you are way older than I am. I was 17 then.
Great games, and I did not play hockey, but man that was fun to watch.
yep
and i downvoted…..ya anti-american, commie lover
<3
I had curling on in the background quite a few evenings as I was reading. I was getting sick of it and even after all of those hours, I had no clue about the rules of the game or how it was scored.
The scoring seemed pretty obvious, the strategy was beyond me.
I obviously wasn’t paying attention because the scoring wasn’t obvious to me.
At the end of the turn have your rock/stone closest to the center = 1 point, having the 2 closest = 2 pts, 3 closest = 3 pts.
After 10 turns who ever has the most points wins.
I was told there would be no math….
You were lied to. There is always math.
I don’t watch either flavor of Olympics.
I watched very little. I used to love the olympics, but coverage has moved away from a focus on sports, to a focus more aligned to the mainstream audience. Ivcould watch skiiing and bobsled alldy but have no interest in the “up close and personal” human interest stuff
I also do not care for the human interest stories. I just prefer to watch the sports. On USA Network, they had a bunch of not mainstream sports and very little in the human interest stories, so I watch that channel.
We all know you’re too busy playing Madden to waste time with something so mundane as the Olympics.
I bet he has 2026 madden pre ordered
😂 😂
LOL….
He needs a better beer choice.
Surly Furious.
Surly sucks since Todd the ace man left
Disagree.
While the new beers are not as good, all the recipes are property of the company. Todd the axe man is now just Axe Man. Same great beer though.
Darkness has lost a bit imo.
Bender was my favorite by them, and they stopped canning it.
If I see Furious or Axe man on tap at a bar, that is my order still.
Unless it is breakfast time. Then I order Guinness with my eggs.
makes these guys seem normal, other than the insane amount of talent.
That is indeed insane.
MN hockey sucks, but they had 7 on the Olympic team?
The 1980 team was like half Golden Gophers with Herb Brooks.
Thats the best MN sports can do I guess.
Looks like current and former Gophers.
7 of this olympic’s hockey gold medalists were Gophers? Brock Faber, Abbey Murphy, Grace Zumwinkle, Taylor Heise, Lee Stecklein, and Kelly Pannek…who am I missing?
Jackson Lacombe??
the seventh one
The talk about Newsom is interesting and speaks a little to qualifications and performance.
I’m a little older but earlier in my time a candidates qualifications were a solid consideration for considering election ( to varying degrees). For example, prior to Bill Clinton service in the military was a big deal for Presidential candidate. Even later, Senators were thought less of compared to Governors as they lacked executive experience.
Was listening to DeSantis talk yesterday. He is not a very polished politician (a la Newsom) but is an extremely capable Senior Executive and it shows as he executes the duties of his position.
No company worth two cents would hire a CEO without extensive executive experience. Yet voters will select a President or Governor with virtually none and then everyone wonders why everything gets so f’d up.
Substance and experience always matters.
We hired KAM though… so.
KAM is very smart, a little light on Common Sense though it seems.
Looking at football through an accountants filter is not the best way to go. Yes contract numbers are important for a GM but they are not the most important-est.
Time killer mock…..
Part duh…
I like Jake Rodriquez, LB, I think Coach Flo can do a lot with him.
Newscum claims he’s dumb, making him just like other black folks.
Makes him ‘just like’ them aka similar?
Or makes him ‘just like’ them aka fond of them??
If that was a conservative, many of us would be saying, “His point wasn’t about race but about your everyday, run-of-the-mill American.”
I don’t like Newsom–at all–but I think both sides can try to manufacture rage by taking things out of context and we have to be careful about that.
Maybe we should just accept him at his word – he is dumb.
Given the state of many things that have happened in California, seems like adequate proof to me that he is in fact dumb.
Yeah, he didn’t even need to say it. It’s been clear.
How do you get to be governor with that low of a score other than nepotism and the deep state? I’m smarter than the average bear, and never took the SAT, but don’t consider myself a genius, but the conversions online say I would have scored 1400-1500 on the SAT. 960 on the ACT is like 18 on the ACT. That wasn’t even enough to get accepted to college when I graduated.
He blames his Dyslexia, so he can play the victim card.
I have dyslexia. I have never taken the SAT but I did score 127 on the ASFAB. The recruiter said ‘that means you qualify for any job in the Army that you want’. I thought that was pretty good.
I thought a 99 was perfect on the ASVAB? If not, I’ve been living a lie because I got a 99 and was told I couldn’t score any higher.
Looking it up you are right, the current Max ASFAB score is 99.
Not sure when they changed it but 120 was the highest score to qualify for any MOS back when I was in. I heard of people claiming to have a score in the 140s to 150.
Ah Google with the answer. I retired in 1998.
‘In the 1990s, a computerized version of the test (CAT-ASVAB) was developed and successfully implemented. In 2002, the content of the test was revised and two years later scores were adjusted in order to ensure that the percentile rankings accurately reflected test takers’ abilities.’
My questions is…how in f#$k does someone with a 960 SAT get in charge of a state the size of California??? I mean, I get it, someone has to be below average…and not trying to IQ shame anyone…..but if you have a below average SAT you should not be running a state…..just sayin.
Just curious – what do you think the SAT score is of that guy running Minnesota?
Do they go negative?
Those are both really good questions…Tampon Tim’s intelligence is hard to gauge….I think he is actually smarter than Newsome, but since he has totally bought in to socialism/Marxism it becomes hard to say. I mean I know some really smart Marxists – but they are just wrong. But Newsome appears to be a handsome face with a nice hair cut, and not much else….
What we in the rural farming/ranching communities would call “All hat, no cattle”
Newscum’s aunt is the only reason he is a public figure. He is a cog in the machine.
Tim’s smart? How many folks think Italy is in the Middle East? And, after retiring from the military, you forget your rank.
Doesn’t seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer.
That was ‘selective amnesia’ on his part.
More like just hard to keep lies straight.
Amen brother. I don’t know how my wife does it. I’d be in prison because I would have killed a few little brats.
I have a teaching license, never used it, but have it just in case
What grade level?
The Teacher taught 1st and 2nd graders.
My nephew and Daughter In Law teach High Schoolers.
All agree that Middle Schoolers should be avoided at all cost.
She taught high school for over twenty years. A few years ago, she switch to middle school.
Which did she prefer? My wife will be able to teach HS and MS science. At the moment she is leaning towards trying to get into a HS.
She was glad to switch to middle school just for a change, but after hearing her complain some evenings about middle schoolers, I’m not sure which she prefers.
Sorry for the late post. Just getting on the computer. Sick kiddo at home and had to finish packing the latest snack sticks and brats.
Tried to make some buffalo flavored chicken snack sticks. I think the smoke overwhelmed the buffalo flavor a bit. I always fry up a little of the leftover meat and that tasted awesome. The sticks are a little underwhelming so far. They tend to get better after a day or two though. Also made some apple chicken brats that turned out pretty good. I’m not big on sweet flavors, but I still thought they were pretty decent.
Thanks for the bright, shiny, new thread Bow.
Rec for the snack sticks, not the sick kiddo. Hope the kiddo feels better soon.
I’m pretty sad about these sticks. They’re probably fine, but the worst I’ve made in awhile. I hold myself to a fairly high standard on it. The dream would be to figure out how to upscale this without actually butchering because while I’m ok at that part, I don’t enjoy it. I’ve got people offering to pay me to make stuff, but I don’t have the room at the moment to make it economical. Hopefully that part about the wife being able to get a job will help with that. I need to do some number crunching and see how much sausage I have to make to make it worth my while to quit my job.
How much would you charge for a set of them? Possible to mail them to WI?
So far I’ve only “sold” a couple packs of sticks to friends and charged about 6 bucks. I wouldn’t sell these chicken ones cuz they’re not good enough. For somebody who could give me their meat, I’d probably do 10 lbs for like 30 bucks (or 20 and a six pack). Tell me a flavor you want to try and I can ship em to WI. If I freeze them, wrap them and do priority shipping, they’ll be fine if they’re vacuum sealed. Best luck I’ve had with seasonings so far is Waltons. My kids absolutely love the taco snack sticks.
I sadly don’t have any meat to give you.
I mean that in a wholesome way, in response to your reply, btw.
