Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
Holy cow, I’m almost finished with phase I of this insane cleanout. We got the outside debris removed along with the bio-hazardous materials from inside the home. Yuck. I’d post the before pictures of the toilet, but I don’t want to make anyone puke. I thank God that fishin’ buddy owns a drain cleaning service, he saved the day, I owe him big time. Anyhoo, I’ll do my best to get the thread posted regularly. Surly and Ben, I owe you guys. Many, many thanks to you & everyone who has helped keep this place afloat.
Before
After
The fam and I are heading to Fargo on Saturday, we entered kiddo into the T.J. Hockenson football camp on Sunday morning. Here’s a link, in case anyone is interested in enrolling a kiddo. I’m not sure if there are spots left, but it may be worth a look-see. Next Saturday is the Justin Jefferson football camp at the Vikings training facility in Eagen. We’re heading to that, too. We’ll post some pics & such here & on Tweeter.
Vikings & NFL News
Yahoo Sports reported that the Vikings laid out some hefty cash to secure a top UDFA offensive lineman, Tristan Leigh, this offseason.
Minneapolis was selected as the site for the 2028 NFL Draft, per Vikings.com. I suppose that’s IF Minneapolis hasn’t been burned to the ground by then, but that goes without saying, which is why I said it.
From Sports Illustrated, the Browns are giving Deshaun Watson a chance to start this season. Uhhhhh, he’s in the last year of his fully-guaranteed contract, they might as well try to get SOMETHING out of the $230 million they spent so foolishly. What a defunct organization they run.
Media Selection
Guys like this is the reason I could never be a cop. I’d just pre-fill the end of every arrest report with “and that’s when I shot him”. Much respect to these cops for being able to control themselves. Also, kudos to the good Samaritan boaters for helping out & saving this lady from further abuse.
Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
Burger King for lunch today.
6’7″ veteran from Wisconsin who was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
All you heathen are saved.
Was reading this morning you can go to California, sign up for medicaid, and get a fully paid exorcism.
I didn’t know that the Catholic Church charged for exorcisms.
Maybe they just want to be able to charge the state and pocket the money.
That is a very Dim thing to do in Commifornia.
Good to know… thanks for sharing!
Time for NFL records to come with an asterisk…
Wow that guy in the video above. “Im a disabled vet, im gonna sue you” Yeah those make sense, as well as give you the right to beat your wife. Guy should get the shit beat out of him and thrown in a cell.
”……he shit himself….’
Of course he did, he’s was drunk off his ass and was getting man handled and throwing an adult tantrum.
My God, what law enforcement officers have to put up with!
A least the Woke/Libs/Dims are looking out for them and offering constructive criticism.
*Is Sarcasm Font needed for this post??
Yes it is!!! I was all ready to roast this take and post a 5 paragraph rant on why you are wrong and should be kicked off this site! (* This is also sarcasm. Just in case.)
I wondered.
I was preparing my own 5 paragraph response to rebut your 5 paragraph rebuttal so that I can win and prove to you that I have lots of words too.
(sarcasm alert)
Yet there is an irony about your thought as the Dems/Libs do “claim” to be looking out for them and making the whole situation better.
‘Dems/Libs do “claim”’
Yeah they lie about most stuff that they talk about.
Yup.
totally agree with GF’s assessment. I could not be a cop.
if I’m the responding officer I empty my clip into his belly and roll him into the water.
Sure looks like he would make good gator food.
Have you heard about the massive cholesterol problem among gators?
I second that…
They are certainly doing an extensive dog and pony show to announce Brez as the GM.
The Bills have ‘won the draft’ multiple times supposedly.
That would be a good get IMHO.
Rob would be a safe hire, giving the HC, OC, DC more input on players which might not be a bad thing.
Let’s hope Banks is devoting as much time, detail and attention to his foot as this piece of Jewelry.
Given that The Bank is his teams home stadium I will allow it.
I hope two things. First, I hope his foot issues aren’t chronic, or something that will end his career early. Second, I hope he has a credible wealth management advisor helping him put most of his money into investments that will set him up for life after his playing career is over.
Amen to that.
Invest wisely young man
UN Climate Panel Quietly Admits Its Doomsday Climate Scenarios Were ‘Implausible’ – How much money has been spent on Net Zero because of lies?
Argued with my Nephews about the Climate Change/Global Warming BS that they were taught in HS. I got to send them a text yesterday about this UN announcement.
No reply back yet.

I think there have been more than a few discussions here about it. Scientists come up with a hypothesis, then go about trying to find data that proves it.
In the mid 1800’s, Scientists like John Tyndall and Svante Arrhenius began to study and understand the greenhouse effect and its implications for Earth’s climate.
A hundred years later, in the 1950s research on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere began, revealing a significant increase due to human activities.
In 1970 the first Earth Day is celebrated, raising public awareness about environmental issues, including climate change.
Eventually liberals around the globe recognize the financial and political treasure trove climate fear produces. It drives this mania like a freight train day and night for 45 years.
Now the world is seeing this was nothing more than a sophisticated scientific fear mongering campaign for political gain.
The Nephews were parroting what they were told by their liberal/woke teachers. When we explained ‘logic’ to them they doubled down so we mocked them for it.
It was loads of fun and now, Bonus, we get proven right…. Again. #grin
“Boy, I say boy, pay attention when I’m talkin to ya”.
The older one actually thanked me for discussing politics with him while growing up.
He said none of his friends parents did that with them and so they have no idea about what is going on.
In Commifornia there is no reason to talk politics because of the ‘groupthink’ everyone ‘knows’ the right answers.
Also don’t forget about the “Global cooling crisis” in the 70’s. It was based on pure conjecture of imminent cooling of the Earth. This resulted in a hypothesis we were going through a period of extensive glaciation due to the cooling effects of aerosols in the atmosphere. Some press reports in the 70s highlighted this speculation about continued cooling, stoking climate fears. Politicians and environmental alarmists went off the rails claiming the next ice age was upon us. And of course garnered power from the climate fear they helped create.
Eagles OLB Nolan Smith, 25, was arrested in Twiggs County, Georgia on May 15 for reckless driving and speeding in excess of limits after being clocked at 135-137 mph in a 70 mph zone.
Smith is a first-round 2023 draft pick. He was booked into the county jail but posted bond and was released. This is his second known speeding citation.
So other teams have idiots to??
Good to know.
I heard he was attending the Jordan Addison life skills classes.
FTP!!
That is all for now.
Hard work there GF. Admire that. Yeah, I probably don’t need to see the toilet.
It’s Thorsday and my wife is at the gym. I’m on my second cup of coffee, and the cats are sleeping on the couch next to me. It’s all quiet and peaceful on the home front.
Got Wordle in two today.
Video of Northwoods pitching in his son’s little league baseball games.
Stupid bird.
Guess it FAFO.
Last night, my son told me if the tickets to the draft in 2028 are free, he’ll get that for my birthday. He and a friend of his are planning on attending.
Generous to a fault.
As parents, it’s interesting to sit back and watch your kids live and learn.
I hope he finds you free tickets.
first
Words and pictures above, I have seen the toilet 🤮
First auto rec
I just realized this gif says “frist”
And, now I do too…
