Wow, I’m glad we’re not the Broncos. $250 million and gave up a bunch of picks for…….Ponder.

It’s interesting because I think many of we Vikings fans feel that Wilson would have been the best fit for our offense given the OL problems of the past, and many would have been happy to give up a similar haul for him.

Credit the Seahawks organization for pulling the trigger at the right time.

PS I hate the Broncos. I hate the Broncos far more than the Packers.

I’d never be on board with giving up that much for a guy coming off of a bad year. I’m very glad we dodged that bullet, and that we dodged the Hackett bullet as well, he’s a shitty coach. We fared MUCH better with O’Connell.

I’m curious myself. Maybe he doesn’t like Elway’s horse teeth.

That game was hard to watch last night. It was like a train wreck. You want to look away, but you just can’t.

I watched zero minutes of it. I wouldn’t have even know it was on if my phone didn’t send my alerts every half an hour.

It was so horrible. I seriously think it was worse than the 2013 Vikings-Giants MNF game. It was eerily similar, I could almost hear Tirico and Gruden apologizing to the fans for the shitty level of play on the field.

Gotta check an hour or two before the game if people who get traded are going to suit up, son.

Heh heh. What kfey is saying is dumbass MT left Kamara on his fantasy team only to tune in and see he was out. No way do I have the time or desire to check on the status of all my fantasy players minutes before the game starts. I guess that immersive experience is the point of fantasy.

@I did get a lot of sympathy from the other fantasy players when I whined@

He was on the Saints. He had a few decent runs against us in London.

Whoops. I had both Gordon and Boone, I got lucky that they both scored decently. I also had Jeudy. I need to shed a couple Broncos, not good to have 3 dudes from one team. I thought Wilson wouldn’t be a

It was 20 degrees this morning. Once it gets below freezing, camping is out of the question.

It’s the witchcraft that turns this place into Hoth for 6 months out of the year. It’s a real treat, you gotta come visit some time.

We used to do that all the time. Big cabellas tent, dual propane heater, a computer and a projector. It helps if the tent is white. Otherwise bring a sheet. sit back on your cot and drink beers/whisky and watch the notebook or la la land.

Cool weather camping is AWESOME. I hate camping when it’s too hot. I’d rather winter camp.

Nothing’s better than sitting next to a camp fire in the woods on a crisp fall morning.

We camp in our pop-up icehouse in the winter. I LOVE cold weather camping.

I agree with that. To a point. I used to ski into the BWCA and winter camp.
Last trip, 4 days, the high temp was -5 for the entire trip. On the last night I asked my dad, “what the hell are we doing here?”.
That was my last winter camping trip.

5 below is a little colder than I’d enjoy for more than 1 night, these days.

Kiddo & I camped in 20 below one night in the icehouse. It was 65-70 inside the icehouse

My idea of camping is a Holiday Inn Express. I haven’t been what you guys describe as camping in 35 years or more. The last time I remember camping was my brother-in-law, nephew and I camped on an island on the Chippewa River near Durand and then the next day we tubed down the Chippewa until close to where it joins with the Mississippi.

I LOVE camping. We get out quite a bit in the summer, we’ll go a few times in the winter after the ice gets thick enough.
