Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I’m still playing with the functionality features of this site, so there may be a blurp or two throughout the day. Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions as I learn to navigate. I can’t fix something if I don’t know it’s broken, so I appreciate your feedback.

Bryant McFadden, two-time Super Bowl champion, wants fivefingers to send me cigars. Well, pretty much, anyway. From MSN, the former Steelers cornerback predicted that the Vikings would get to double-digit wins AND take the NFC North.

Over at Vikings.com, Eric Smith shares observations from training camp, and you can catch some highlights from OTA 5.

I haven’t posted rules, but I actually have. At the end of each post, you’ll notice that I say “be cool to one another”. That’s the rule. Simple, concise, and direct. So, let’s get to the comments, and please remember, be cool to one another. SKOL!!!!!

The president’s fiscal 2022 budget, which is the first to project deficits of more than $1 trillion for 10 consecutive years, estimates that FY 2022 interest on debt of $26.3 trillion will be $305 billion and reach $941 billion in FY 2031, or more than triple the amount for the current fiscal year. By that time, interest payments will account for 59 percent of the projected $1.6 trillion deficit.

It´s unfortunate how things played out, but none of that was our doing. We just got gradually forced out of that place, and we are in a much better place now.

DN will carry on as a shell of its former self, best of luck with that for them. We are here now, let´s enjoy this awesome new place.

It is a symptom of an issue throughout western civilization. The rights of the weak or at least proclaimed weak and least tolerant supersede the rights of the average or strong. Tolerance is only allowed and in most cases actually demanded from the majority, while the weak minority is allowed to be completely intolerant.
This needs to change but currently it is only getting worse.

We know you like that authoritarian rule where the majority are suppressed so a few can flourish and rampant atrocities are committed on minorities, women and those who think or look different. You blame every ill in the world on progressive change, which is inevitable, and even when the direct result of a tragedy is from outdated policies of suppression you twist the narrative to blame those seeking a better way. Suppose its always been this way as the old and outdated slowly become irrelevant.

He won’t. He’s been around for like 8 years. They aren’t building the offense through him, they will try to run a lot. All coaches know that about him. Any pressure and he throws the ball away and falls over.

Hey five, if you are looking for a great shotgun for the money for upland, I got a Browning Citorri in 20 gauge a few years ago. Awesome gun. Light, 5 lbs, fast and handles really well. Great for grouse, quail, chukars, pheasants. Not so much for waterfowl. I have a 12 for that.

25 May 2022 5:22 pm

That’s what I want, a 20 over/under. If you stay in that price range the choices are Browning, Beretta, Rizzini most likely. Then, it’s 26 or 28″ barrel and really how it fits me.

Adrenaline
Reply to  Fivefingers
25 May 2022 5:25 pm

Yeah, I got an 870 with the 30 inch barrel when I was a kid, which is pretty close to useless in upland, so I’d take the Beretta. 26 is the way to go, if you ask me.

Fivefingers

more compact but the argument guys have made to me is the 28 has more balance. Not sure it matters

I can get on point much much faster with pheasants with a shorter barrel, much like the close-quarter combat guys all use shorter barrels on rifles.

Reply to  Fivefingers
25 May 2022 5:31 pm

I strongly recommend getting the Citorri. Get it custom fitted by extending the pad for $100 after you get it. That’s what I did and it’s the best shotgun I have ever used.

Per pro-football-reference.com, Kirk Cousins’ 8.2 air yards per pass attempt ranked him eighth in the 2021 season.

  1. Russell Wilson: 9.9 AY/PA
  2. Justin Fields: 9.8 AY/PA
  3. Lamar Jackson: 9.3 AY/PA
  4. Jalen Hurts: 9.0 AY/PA
  5. Baker Mayfield: 8.6 AY/PA
  6. Matthew Stafford: 8.5 AY/PA
  7. Josh Allen: 8.2 AY/PA
  8. Kirk Cousins: 8.2 AY/PA

His number of air yards per pass attempt is higher than the number of some high-profile names. Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, and Patrick Mahomes all have fewer air yards per attempt to their names. Cousins throws the ball almost a full yard, 0.9 yards per attempt to be exact, farther than Patrick Mahomes, who is known as a great deep ball passer.

Not true, scoring allowed in the last 4 minutes of half and game were the worst ever recorded in nfl history in the 22 years they have been keeping the stat.

If we cut the scoring to half of what was allowed during that time last season, it would be the second worst ever allowed in nfl history.

That is how pathetically bad we were.

Vikes gave up 426 points last year… which was 24th in the league.

1/3 of that was from the last 4 mins of each half… well say 126 to make it simple.

Half of 126 is 63. 426 – 63 = 363.

363 would be good for 4th best defense in the league last year…1 point less than KC.

I would welcome them to do that. We would probably be 14-3.

You said if we cut the scoring in half without the last 4 mins of each half we’d be the second worst defense in nfl history.

Either you stick to your stat or fix your words.

We weren’t even the worst defense in the league last year so … in history would be impossible.

The one specific category… yeah you could be correct.

If we cut thst number in half we would still have the “2nd worst ever” yet be a top 5 D.

Kodiak
Reply to  Mick
25 May 2022 5:42 pm

I never changed metrics.
If we were to be twice as good by allowing only half as many points in that time, we would be the second worse defense ever.

Not in yards allowed, not in points allowed, not in running D, not in passing D, not on 4th down, not on first down, not on any other metric you want to throw in or make up, but in the metric I mentioned. Why would you change metrics other than just to argue?

We weren’t the second worst defense last year so how could we be the second worst in history?

In one stat… points wkth less than 4 mins in a half we were historically bad.

To cut that number in half… are we still the 2nd worst in history? Points scored within 4mins of a half? Is that what you’re trying to say?

Pretty good year for Vikes so far.

  3. Could win 6 games if they stay healthy

Hi Mt, Glad to see you wandered over to the future of Viking fandom. How is life in the shouse? Hope the wife isn’t beating you too often and you have become accustomed to life w/o a butler and groundskeeper. Still riding the bike to work?

MT Viking

Life is simpler. Moving out of a 5000+ sq ft home (size of five’s coat room) meant we gave easily a metric tonne of crap away to neighbors and Goodwill. Even then we filled a 40′ shipping container with stuff. Just sad how much crap one accumulates when you have the space.

No bike yet. I’ve contemplated throwing it in the back of the pickup and riding in from the old K-Mart but that would be a bit of a hassle. I’m currently employing my typical deception by driving my 2011 Ranger beater to and from work. Always good to have patients see you are dirt poor.

Concrete crew just called (they are out of Chinook)…they just left Saco on their way to start work on the monolithic pour of the shop pad this afternoon. Bills bills bills!

The new commenter you briefly mentioned on the other site…that is odd. I wonder if it’s an admin? I mean several comments about breath of fresh air/better mix of commenters/volume not important to advertisers/thinly disguised political views of a bunch of sub-literate cretins who don’t read and deeply resent and distrust people who do/now can discuss football (but no posts about football). Admin or one of the known trolls I would think.
