VIKINGS NEWS – Nothing.
NFL News – FTP
No question of the day. It’s Tuesday, have at it.
Media selection – More politics
Good morning, FTP SKOL, and FJB.
I read that the BBC’s David Aaronovitch suggested that Biden have Trump killed, as he’s a “threat to America’s security”.
Twinkies take 1st game from Detroit 5-3.
Richardson did ok, 3 ER in 5.2 but didn’t get the win.
Coke sniffing, illegal gun toting Hunter now attending presidential meetings. Can’t make the shit up anymore.
Of course, he needs his dad to stay in the office in order to get his pardon. Duh!
Nothing to see here…our secondary sucks.
Vikings secondary rated among worst in NFL (msn.com)
If PFF says it’s bad i feel good.
Pass rush or die.
Turner. Send him. New LT.
Well, the defense might be better this year overall, with Flores in his second year. Last year we had the highest rate of blitzing, and lowest rate of pressure on the QB in the league I believe.
Highest blitz rate, lowest pressure – that translate to. ” Houston we’ve got a problem.”
Bashed the Dims enuf today, will take a break. Feel like some sweet corn toady. Maybe a BLT.
‘sweet cron toady’?
Love home grown sweet corn, short season though. Tomatoes too.
Assisted living for some.
Looks pricier than the one my mom is in.
If you lie and cheat well enough, it’s free
My mom is a planner.
She volunteered there for 10 years which moved her up on the waiting list so she was ready when her name was called.
Hope your Mother is in a nice place. She certainly earned it.
‘She certainly earned it’
She had 5 kids fast enough that we were all teenagers at the same time, with a drunk husband that was not much help.
She did everything she could to get us right, mostly succeeded.
she seemed to have done very well.
I sent her a Mothers Day card thanking her for helping me become the man that I am.
Her reply was ‘your welcome’.
Minneapolis hospital waiting rooms are boring.
Maybe I can get Ben to deliver me burritos or something…
Taco Bell?
One sad thought from the debate.
Was talking with my wife and saying one of those ‘old farts’ is going to be next President.
She then reminded me – Biden in NOW the President.
What the hell must the rest of the world think?
That’s pretty dangerous.
I don’t have a problem with age as much as loss of vigor and cognitive decline.
Biden just had a bad night because of his aids. Trump is the one who is experiencing mental decline and showing signs of dementia. Mimosa Nancy said so.
She’s a true first rate POS!
They deserve each other.
Age – I don’t either. In fact, I think Trump is one of those one in a million people that doesn’t appear to have lost anything mentally from age. And he has the energy of a 25 year old.
Doubt anyone here has a problem with age, we are all going the same direction. Sniffer has no business being in the WH.
As probably the senior citizen around here – have some experience with the aging thing – and freely admit slippin some. But also believe, Trump is a bit amazing in this regard.
Biden on the other hand, is in my opinion actually worse than the ‘normal’ aging individual.
I wish Trump would have called Biden’s bluff and said, okay we can go play 18 holes tomorrow. Both of us will carry our own clubs and every possible news outlet will be invited as well.
Yeah. Guy can barely walk. No way he can even swing a golf club, much less carry a bag full.
Needs a Marine escort to Marine 1.
A golfers thought.
Trump could challenge him and both can ride in carts. And trump can play from 20 yard farther tees.
And Trump will still beat the hell out of him. Trump can actually play pretty solid golf. Biden couldn’t start an electric lawn mower.
His hands couldn’t grip a club.
And his mind can’t ‘grip’ a thought.
He’s as sharp as a tack. Just gotta make sure the tee time is about 10:30 am so they’re done by 4.
Even between 10 and 4 you better have a 5 pound sledge to drive that tack.
Find a 1 hole par 3 between noon and 12:30 PM.
No, no, no. You are just falling for the right wing, MAGA extremist deep fake videos.
Just experience – I trust my eyes and ears.
And let’s face it, even going back over 40 years and reviewing all the tape, Joe has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer.
See, no mental decline at all. He’s just always been an idiot so there is no reason he can’t serve another 4 years.
Idiots don’t get better with age. They just don’t express their idiotic ideas as well.
Sort of like a bad bottle of wine that turns to vinegar after time.
Maybe between 1PM and 2PM.
1 – 2. That’s probably nap time.
I think Joe just misunderstood. Somebody told him he had 6 documented handicaps and he just thought they were talking about his golf game.
It’s all the Big Macs Trump has eaten.
Always works for me. You young guys should go for it.
I do if you are not keeping up with the times and the way technology works in the world. If you are 70-90 and dont know how to browse the internet safely or run your phone you shouldnt be running our country. There so much going over your head in scary enough.
No Twins to watch, need football. Although i don’t want to wish away summer. I want to see that big gun of JJ’s.
Hmmm……..
Can’t get away from anything on here.
Don’t care for Wimbledon and the British open? Good escapes from politics..
Open yes. July 18.
Like to watch Novak Djokovic too
Used to watch alot in old days. Conners, Borg, McEnroe. Just grew out of it.
That was must watch TV back in the day.
What you mean? Twins play tonight?
Tigers i think. Got effing Comcast. They and Bally decided to screw the fan.
Start streaming the game here about 10 minutes before first pitch.

Hear’s a funny take. Just heard the WH blamed the makeup artist for Thursday night as Joe was ‘painted’ too pale. Noticed last night when he spoke he had a real Palm Beach tan.
The Doctor is on the war path.
Love her $10,000 vogue outfit and says she understands the pains Americans are dealing with.
Well yeah, she used to do the grocery shopping for the Biden family when she was their babysitter and was sleeping with the married Joe (and he was taking inappropriate showers with his daughter). But remember, Trump is the one with questionable morals.
Upgrade her wardrobe allowance and see that sniffer is tan and juiced. (10AM-4PM)
Hopefully somebody sent a memo to Putin and Kim and told them they can’t do anything outside of 10-4 EST.
LOL
Just remember anything they accuse Trump of they do in spades – and then some.
Yeah and what is one of their biggest ones right now? That Trump won’t leave office. Just wait, there will be some manufactured emergency and the only way to protect democracy will be to suspend the election or after Trump wins they will claim he is ineligible and such a threat to democracy that he can’t be allowed to take office. To keep him from potentially not giving up power, they will refuse to give up power.
Never imagined such a 2 bit phony admin could be in charge. They are as transparent as a glass window.
FJB
No President in our history has ever been given the “passes” this administration has. Even the crooked Clintons got much more grief than the Bidens get.
All these excuses by folks are just hilarious.
You didn’t see what you saw.
Kind of reminds me of all the excuses made for a former QB that’s no longer on the Vikings roster.
The bad clips of the debate were nothing but cheap fakes and the video of him struggling to get down 2 steps afterwards was 100% fake.
That’s on a GOOD day!
It was Trump’s fault!
Well Joe is a 6 handicapper.and carries his bag!
^^^Fake news.
I noticed he was pale and almost “out-of-focus” as well. Was wondering if they were piping in footage from his rehearsals beforehand the prior week, haha.
ben, i know you haven’t been around much, but hopefully you see this..
my in laws are in town.
mother in law made dinner for everyone last night. Sloppy Joes. and you guessed it full of PEPPERS…
It’s derby week boys and girls.
Lot of work put into that car just to smash it up.
I build one car a year during the winter. So it gives me time to enjoy the build.
I saw the Riviera at Pin High, what a beauty!
Since you were nowhere to be found, I put a Packers sticker under the driver seat.
I’m guessing the site has hung on my side…either that or my post was a turd that cleared the place out!
Everybody is being productive today I guess.
Hay you Montana boys – how’d you get a Democrat Senator?
Failure of the state Republican party. They put up people against him that are too easy for the Dems to run ads against. They ran Rehberg once while he was suing the city of Billings Fire Department for not putting out a grass fire quick enough and therefore hurting the value of his property he wanted to sub-divide. Last go around they ran Matt Rosendale who they quickly painted as a rich out of stater and labeled him “Maryland Matt”. This time they are running Tim Sheehy who they have already labeled “Shady Sheehy” and there are non-stop ads about him buying a ranch and closing down hunting access. They leave out the fact that the ranch he bought didn’t allow access anyway and that Tester doesn’t allow access on his land. Tester just comes back every 6 years, drives a pickup around and puts out an ad that he is a real Montanan. The Dems in Missoula and Bozeman will vote for him anyway and there is enough people that aren’t Dems that fall for the I’m one of you line even though he votes 100% with Schumer and takes more money from lobbyists than anybody in DC.
Thanks – real shame. Very red state with a blue senator. Just doesn’t seem right.
Yeah. It’s infuriating to see the candidates the Repubs put up and how easily they are painted as a bad guy. Sheehy is a former Seal and they are painting him as a villain and even taking shots at his military service and people fall for it.
A NavySeal – those guys are the real deal. This shit people fall for nowadays.
Tester probably wasn’t even in the service.
Have you seen him? The only service he’s participated in is meal service and he is on the receiving end of it, repeatedly. He just gets to say that he is a 4th generation or whatever Montanan and Sheehy is the evil out of stater.
All the Repubs need to do is put up somebody who didn’t just move here after they made a bunch of money somewhere else and they would run away with it. It would help if the national party took it seriously and didn’t keep assuming that since it’s Montana that Tester is an easy victory.
Maybe I’ll run against Tester in 6 years.
Go for it!
Did notice that Tester looks like a lard ass.
I’ll use you guys as my sounding board to test political slogans and policies.
Met Sheehy about a month ago at a meet and greet in Anaconda. Thought he was sincere, didn’t get a chance to ask him some fiscal questions. a lot of people at a local diner and no press here or in Butte. Hmmm…
Can’t rule out straight up cheating at the polls these days, either.
That media clip is awesome.
Monty Python Auto Rec.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python
Media clip ? Thought that was a video straight off the DNC website.
So Obama was the ‘water tart’ that ‘tossed a scimitar’ at Biden?
Thought it was well cast although the role of Trump ( the King) was a little skinny.
Love that clip!
This concept of other teams players practicing together and touting someone from a different team just seems like something the NFL and NFLPA would discourage.
I know I’ve brought it up before, but I just don’t recall this phenomena in prior years.
I’m sure it happens during the official offseason, but I was just never aware of this once OTA’s start.
Just seems like “ethical” lines are being crossed. I know ethical isn’t the right term.
Seems like I have heard stories of WRs working out together before. Same personnel coaches maybe?
I think it is just being published more, not sure what the ‘end game’ is for this type of thing.
Maybe just publicity, trying to get more people to follow them on Social Media?
Thielen is going to make his way back to the Vikings and will be the SB MVP in 2025 on a vet minimum contract.
From the pic up top and the suggestion in the QOTD area, are we being lead somewhere?
Not if you don’t follow…
Oh hell, I woke up today thinking about QB play, but guess I’ll consume the day thinking bout the weather.
Excellent choice.
Are you sure you’re not from Minnesota?
In the Army we used to call those type of glasses RPGs.
Cause soldiers wore them as ‘Rape Prevention Glasses’ since they made people that unattractive.
#armyhumor
When I was in the Army they were called ” Birth Control Glasses”
Or BCDs Birth Control Devices
I have heard that one as well.
What about Chi-mo’s? That’s what they used to call them in prison.
*Minor Attracted Person
That is a protected class now. Watch what you say.
Haha yeah, better be careful.
Vikings News !!!!
No Vikings are in legal trouble. Yet.

Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
It’s raining again.
But it might not rain tomorrow!
But then it will probably rain again Thursday and Friday. And maybe Saturday and Sunday. I suspect lots of Fourth of July stuff will get cancelled.
Yep, but it’s been so dry around here, it’s nice to see a little rain.
Yep, the lakes are almost back to having having a beach area again.
