Beware the Ides of September. Happy Thorsday, everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics! Join us as we discuss the latest Minnesota Vikings news, Minnesota Vikings updates, news from around the NFL, and virtually any other topic. On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here.
Whether you’re a bdoomer, a homer, or anywhere in between, we’re glad you’re on board with us here, because I have a feeling that this is going to be a FUN season for Vikings football. I really like the direction this team is heading in right now. It isn’t just because of one game, although that was a great game, but it just feels like they’ve finally got this franchise stabilized and moving in the right direction. Am I predicting anything? Nah, but I won’t be surprised if this team makes some noise later into January, and from there…………. Hell, let’s see how we do against the Eagles first. SKOL!!!!
Minnesota Vikings News:
Vikings.com highlights five Vikings-Eagles storylines.
Video of the Day:
My son found this last night while we were relaxing & surfing youtube, so you have him to blame for this one. Enjoy!
Just curious how the insurrection was going to work? Can anyone explain it to me? Did they think Buffalo man (who is mnetally ill but is getting 4 years in Federal prison- good use of funds and he did nothing violent, hmm) would announce he is President and then they just all gave up? How does that work?
Holy shit, you guys, this is great! Here’s another thread for you: Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion-Part Deux: 15 Sep 2022 – Skoloholics
has never lagged for me
Me either, but a couple folks said it was getting a bit boggy for them. It isn’t much trouble to post a second thread.
Tell them to get out of the swamp
THIS
love this movie.
hilarious
One of my faves.
Thielen? Cook? TE du jour?

If the Vikings can hang around most of the game, I like our chances.
I’d feel better if they jump out to a lead and stay aggressive
Sunday was a joy. No stress, just a well-played game that they seemed to have in hand the entire time. I like the drama games, too, but we’ve been subjected to heart-attack inducing finishes for far too long, a few easy ones would be nice.
it was great – my wife and boys were out doing various things, so it was a tremendous game for me and my youngest to enjoy
I liked simply getting cell service at 9 pm and seeing they kicked the Pack’s but and all the texts from my wife saying that JJ was making them look stupid.
that’s a pretty good feeling, too. miss the whole game, then find out it went perfectly
I had the best no drama Sunday. Played 36 holes of golf while drinking a few decent beers. Got back to the clubhouse in time to see some crying FTP fans at the very end of the game.
Yeah, the number one thing is to score enough TD’s that we don’t have to friggin kick.
I don’t mind kicks when they increase a lead from 7 to 10, but from 10 to 13 feels like a harbinger
Depends on when it is, early in the game you just take the points, if Denver had simply kicked two chipshot FGs on MNF they’d be 1-0.
sure, so long as the different scoring doesn’t affect the other team’s play-calling, etc.
I do hear what you’re saying, but remember when the Vikings lost to the Colts 21-18? I believe it was 18-0 in the Vikings’ favor at one point (6 field goals)
Yeah, I also remember a game back in the late 80s where rich karlis kicked 7 FGs to win, and it was not Bob Schnelkers fault!
I remember that game, we were leading 15-0 at halftime. Then Manning decided to play some ball the 2nd half. Vikes just couldn´t put the pigskin into the endzone.
I have confidence in Greg The Leg
May I remind you of either the guy who never missed a kick in the regular season or something and the other guy who set the all-time record for most 50-yarders?
I remember
I’m just taking regular season, if the Vikings make the playoffs Greg will surely poop his pants.
.
He seems different this year. Really locked in
one fricken game there Homer
Yeah playoffs are a different animal though, especially for Vikings kickers
Most dominant athlete in the world at one time, loved watching him play
Ya he was insane
I’d expect Rafa to retire sometime fairly soon, maybe next year, he’s hurt a lot lately as well and old af. We’ll see though. Its complete bullshit that Djokovic wasn’t allowed to play in the US OPEN this year also since we’re on the subject.
Agree
Wow, this is busy. Please say something if the site gets boggy, I can always post another thread, if necessary.
we might want one at some point during the lunch lull – it’s a little groggy for me, but that could be my laptop (not new, lots of things open)
https://www.vikings.com/news/5-vikings-eagles-storylines-prime-time-matchup
New regime, a changed team, I don’t believe in curses.
Vikings suck in primetime, especially with Krik, we’ll see if that changes with KOC.
right – is it Zim’s fault? Kirk’s?
I’d love to not be embarrassed to be a Vikings fan after nearly every nationally televised game
Just look at it as comedy.
FTFY
At least there is no laugh track.
That would be classic. Like Joe Yuck/Buck programming the programming.
Yes
Some things will never change
i see you’re drinking 1%
is it because you think you’re fat? because you could totally drink whole milk if you wanted to
More than 500 comments, already? You guys are chatty, today. No time to read ’em all.
just read mine
You need a subscription to Amazon Prime to watch the game tonight.
FYI
you share your login info for those less fortunate that do not have amazon prime
Sure.
User: fuckthepackers
PW: bezos_is_a_rich_fuck
LOL
I have one! WHEW!
I already have it, thankfully. I’m not going to watch the game, though. Maybe have it on in the background.
doing the wife’s toe nails?
Nope. I have a couple houses to show early, then have a meeting. I’ll be home before the game’s over, but I don’t watch very much non-Vikings football. Screw the NFL & their kneeling asses, I get further detached every year.
agree
I don’t have it, I watch BezosTV over at Canoe Girl’s, who does. I’m not driving 40 minutes each way just to watch that game.
streameast.com
pron.virus.hackers.LOL
Thanks.
Now I can see the game!
I’m glad it worked.
no problem, gets all sports too
Amazon Prime can stream game up their ass.
Beating the Pukers Sunday was about the best thing ever.
The 2nd best thing ever is the Florida Governor sending the illegals to Martha’s Vineyard and the Texas Governor dropping the illegals off outside of Camela’s house….
STUDS – both of them.
LOL, I read about the Martha’s Vineyard deal – pretty funny
And these clowns are claiming that its racist to send illegals to their towns.
There is nothing to low of hypocrisy for these democrats.
They just double down on hypocrisy.
Esp if you call yourself a sanctuary city.
I can’t wait until they find a way to arrest DeSantis or Abbott. I’m pretty sure Obama and his puppet Biden are pretty close.
They bitch about them but where is the democratic process when this regime decides where to insert these people?
It’s not legal to hold the doors open to begin with, so I don’t believe they give a hoot what process is used
But…but..Word salad said border is secure.
Lol
Typical nimby behavior.
I’d drop the illgeals and the dem pols into the marianna trench
93% of prisoners would vote democrat if they could vote.
Oh, the dems will get that law changed…..they are working on it…..
Yup, put all of us taxpayers and traditional citizens in jail for political purposes.
it’s our Owl every year
*Cum-all-ya
I have also heard it pronounced ‘Camel-toe’ but that doesn’t seem right to me..
Measured by the gallons.
Its really interesting what gifs will come up when you start typing in the search bar, like this came up in a completely unrelated search.
What was the unrelated search?
“hookers”
As a couple approaches the altar, the groom tells his wife-to-be, “Honey, I’ve got something to confess: I’m a golf nut, and every chance I get, I’ll be playing golf!”
“Since we’re being honest,” replies the bride, “I have to tell you that I’m a hooker.”
The groom replies, “That’s okay, honey. You just need to learn to keep your head down and your left arm straight.”
LOL
call it h
Wow, Fletcher Cox is still there?
wrong, GB’s DL is meh. Their ends are the strength. Wyatt is a rookie as he might get better
Used book sale time! Off to the scuffed tables piled high with paperbacks, the dingy giant room that holds the ghosts of craft fairs, 4H displays and long-ago dances, plus the smell of musty pages! There will be roughly 1,000,000 Louis Lamour books, but there is hopefully a few treasures among them. Five bucks can literally get you 20 books.
Then you flip em on eBay and Amazon and get RICH
Where is that at?
have fun!
I would love to get a hold of some old Nero Wolfe books. The lesser known books are hard to find or very expensive.
I have a stack of Rex Stout paperback books that I need to look through. I got them at an auction from a lady that was a book hoarder.
Did not see any. If I had, I would run back and get them for you.
Had a decent haul…
Stepford Wives
Rosemary’s Baby
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ghost Story
Beast Within
Twilight Zone Anthology (serendipitous considering the GIF above)
Flash Gordon
Dark Forces
Stargate
Sharky’s Machine
Burnt Offerings
Yes, all books that had movies, basically.
any bibles?
There was a religious section, but it is usually dominated by LeHaye fiction and not Bibles. Not a millennialism fan, so I don’t browse there much. I am almost 100 percent Internet-based when it comes to religious stuff now. The Interwebs has made it so easy.
I did get a copy of the Evangelical Heritage Version of the Bible recently, though. It was a new conservative Lutheran translation I wanted to see.
But most, if not all, were movies first, correct?
CEOTTK, ROTLA, Flash Gordon and Stargate were all novelizations of the movies, yes.
The others were books first, I believe. Was surprised to find The Beast Within. I’ve heard it is fairly trashy, though. I’m only out a $1 if I don’t like it.
Ghost Story was only a quarter, so I got that, even though I’m not sure I’ve ever been able to make it through a Peter Straub book. Maybe Koko.
Just read wikipedia about beast within. I remember seeing the movie and it was watchable and scary as a kid. But as an adult, I don’t think I’d waste my time.
I have not seen it. I seem to recall it has a transformation scene in it, which were cool at the time with The Howling and American Werewolf In London.
I distinctly remember watching this movie. I remember who I watched it with. And I remember my friend’s reaction to the transformation scene and his vocal comments leading up to the transformation scene.
It’s weird that part of my memory is dedicated to this movie. But it was/is terrible. Regardless of what I remember as a kid. You’d be better of rewatching the Howling or American Werewolves of London. People still talk about the transformations in those two movies. Nobody talks about the Beast Within.
I’m always on the lookout for Matt Christopher books, they’re the best.
Anyone here waiting in line to pay respects to the Queen?
I just had a beer in her honor the day she died
You can laugh at this one
LOL
LOL
Great band
I played some Sex Pistols… does that count?
I have raised a glass of Canadian Whisky in her honor while out eating with friends.
If I was that would mean I was on vacation and not at work. That might be ok.
I paid my respects to the queen in a response to PPB with a gif below.
No, lol. queen? lol, brits are silly
Our Constitution doesn’t allow royal titles in the USA, in spite of what Me-again Markel thinks.

Love his detail on that convo….clear concise and shows appreciation on a great effort play.
LEADER
Man Kirk seems so much more confident. Love it.
He does seem different this year.
Just wait, his shart games are coming
lmao
Absolute classic.
You know those games are coming
If we get a good showing Monday night then I am on board that I’m not just going to assume it will happen. SKOL!
What if we get destroyed 38-7?
Then I will have that feeling of, “Oh crap here we go again. Can’t win in primetime, can’t win after an emotional victory etc…”
love kirk.
i bet he is a great dad
he converted his entire 2022 salary into Kohl’s bucks
Lol, probably, though it’s called kohls cash
i love kohls.
are you ripping on kohls?
you have any granimals?
i don’t know what this means
Can’t keep up with us old folks, sonny?
Underoos after that
My wife buys those all the time for our kids, used kohls cash often, bet Kirk does too
we’re in midseason form
Cool here today, rain & a high of 67. Yuck.
this is fucking awesome
those hoodies are really cool
wish they weren’t $100 and sold out
Anything with the old 80s/90s block type font is great, don’t know why anyone would spend $100 on a sweatshirt though
christian watson took the name of those sweatshirts too literal…
Ha! strong dad joke, frz
So glad the pukers got to hear that “annoying horn” plenty!
The two times I have been there, that was the coolest part of the day.
Awesome that the fans got a great home win.
You’re not the only one……..👀
That was way better than our old mascot thingy with Ragnar, who I talked to at an event last week.
how’s he doing?
He’s sitting there in a walker, but surrounded by cool Viking weapons. Lost most of his gut, so not sure if he’s healthier or not.
He wanted to talk basic Viking knowledge, like the fact that Viking helmets didn’t have horns and stuff.
I mentioned “the other Vikings” and he just about wanted to get up and fight me, lol
some pretty cool stuff set out there
Didn’t he want an absurd amount of money to stay the mascot if I remember right?
Asked for an 833% raise. Shockingly, he didn’t get it.
I mean what was he thinking?
Yeah, not sure. Dude had a great gig, got in for free & got to stand on the sidelines for every game.
drugs, probably
Gave me a reason to post this, one of my faves
I remember an interview with him and he was like a HS counselor and he talked about how he was wild when he was younger and did drugs and alcohol so he felt he could connect more with students having issues since most counselors he knew had been straight laced their whole lives they really couldn’t connect with the kids. That was many moons ago so maybe I got that all mixed around.
Next Zelda was announced a couple of days ago.
May 12th next year!
I hardly ever buy new release games, but this winter I’m looking at Dead Space Remake, Callisto Protocol and System Shock.
And I just got the Cowabunga Collection.
Yet, when I actually play, I often still go to Fallout 4. I play survival mode permadeath, and that never gets boring to me, just frustrating when I die.
I get that – I buy new games from time to time and then often go back to playing old favorites
I’m still waiting for them to release a new version of Stronghold…
don’t hold your breath
Funny how a lot of old stuff was mismanaged after it’s heyday
Man, I used to play a TON of Zelda on the original Nintendo, & then on the 64. Haven’t played it in MANY years.
We play a lot of Minecraft, that’s a really fun game.
great game for parent/child fun
It really is, we play it a lot, especially in the winter or when it rains.
I know the original game inside-out. probably my favorite game all time
It is an amazing game. I still remember first hearing about it and then eventually getting it. Great experience to play through. I’ve never topped experiencing some of those original NES games in video gaming.
Dead Space was a heck of a play through the first time, though. Guitar Hero III was also a pretty good time.
I need to try Dead Space
I think my closest gaming experience to that might be Alien Isolation, but I might be totally wrong in my ideas about what Dead Space is
Dead Space is basically Resident Evil 4 mechanics in space but more immersive, with a cool limb-cutting feature rather than simply blasting enemies.
No HUD either. Weapon and health display on character.
Great horror survival game.
Dead Space 2 on hardcore difficulty was the most stressful, yet exciting time I ever had playing a video game. Really had to be on my toes to complete it. I wanted to get the prize for it, which was a foam finger gun, and the character would go “pew! pew!” when he shot it…
Yes, you have to. Do yourself the favor.
Great game, guess the best survival horror game I ever played. Looking forward to that remake. In case it should suck, grab the original version for a couple of bucks on any sale.
I found Fallout 4 playthrough to be the most fun I have had gaming since the 80s.
It’s a neat game for sure.
Rumblings about Fallout 5 are starting, but it sounds like it is years away yet.
Strictly Nintendo still I take it?
yup – the Legend of Zelda franchise is developed and published by Nintendo, and is exclusive to Nintendo hardware
i heard the UK didn’t announce this to the public for a day or two…
isn’t it called “tears of the kingdom”?
talk about dumb (of the UK)
also, tears of the kingdom sounds like a great emo band name
They didn’t livestream the announcement in the UK because of the period of mourning, but the video was available on demand after the event ended
I played some Zelda back in the NES days, was not my favorite game but was definitely one of the better ones.
respect.
One of my favorite first games was this game called MagMax that my my mom actually bought by mistake, she meant to by mega man. Gunsmoke is still probably my most favorite game ever on NES and likely the most enjoyable game I’d have played if not for RDR2.
MagMax, hmm. never heard of it.
Really nothing special, just another arcade game someone converted for Nintentdo
Monday is going to be a TOUGH matchup. Playing on the road in a tough stadium against a pretty good team. I think the Vikes can pull it out if they can play smart, avoid turnovers, and protect Kirk like they did on Sunday. A win on Monday would be HUGE.
gonna have to get the ball out quicker on passing plays
They protected against the Peckers pass rush, which is slightly better than Philly’s, so I’m hopeful that they can figure out a way to keep Kirk upright.
Big difference in pass rush playing at home vs on the road.
True.
yeah, 3 points
I expect a much more competitive game from Philly in their house.
Yeah, agreed. They’re going to be focused & ready, we better be, too.
Beat NFC N opponents and steal one of Philly, NO, or Miami and were 4-2 into bye looking solid
Miami is a loss
guaranteed
Likely.
I’m going to wait and see what happens in Philly before I go full doomer on the Miami game.
fair
Why would you think that?
I’ve already told you that we won’t lose to Miami because I’ll be there, and the Vikings have never lost a road game when I’ve been in attendance.
Then you need to sacrifice and go to EVERY road game.
I’ve never been to a road game, Miami will be my first.
LOL
lmao
you’re undefeated: 0-0
1st rd game for you?
First road Vikings game, yep.
I think Philly is a way better team than the Fin’s
I’m sure there’s a good argument for it – it’s just not where I’ve landed
Fins D and cb’s are legit. Have Tyreek, waddle, wilson and Gisecki.
those 3 losses likely, can beat the lowly bears
Don’t bet on that one. We always have at least one clusterfuck game when we get killed even though we are heavily favored. Lions likely sweep us this season.
lol, pay up ladies. Big 5 played you all like a ukelele
Morning nerds. I got a little baby skolly boy. He’s going to be filled with purple kool-aid and purple hopium just like his dad
Homer Jr
Thanks Freeze!
Congrats!
Awesome, man!
GOOD WORK
Congrats! Remind me to buy more stock in purple koolaid!
did you buy Nintendo stock when I told you to?
I’ll do better next time.
Congrats,
But… poor kid. Up for a lifetime of frustration.
likely
I can’t wish that on my grandkid, either. Hopefully he becomes a rugby fan or something, or just goes fishing and hunting instead of living the vicarious life.
gonna be?
it’s a boy now!
know what i like? it has been known he will be a boy before the foundations of the earth were created
you’re not wrong
IDK, that’s the gif that came up its a boy now and is gonna be a boy when Mrs. Skoldiers gives birth.
A BIG CONGRATS to you sir!!! Just sent my only kid of to college, you are in for a fantastic ride.
Starting the suffering at such an early age.
If I could go back in time, it wouldn’t be to kill Hitler. It would be to stop my old man from sitting me down to watch my first Vikings game.
Lol, same here.
My grandpa was a big fan, died without seeing a Super Bowl title
Same with Dad
Here I am, half ded
I take the blame for turning son into a dumb Vikings fan
And the grand-kiddo is next.
Congras skolly. I like Cornelious or Fiver for a name.
Congrats Skolly! 🍻
congrats on comment #5555, fivefingers!
here’s a look at the top 10 commenters so far:
5555 total. 5 that were quality.
I assume 5 is on track for five 5’s in the future?
Comment 55555
it’ll take a bit
but yeah
woo hoo!
amendment: I’ve moved past benjammin into 9th place, dropping ben to 10
too soon?
NAH
Call it an homage
LOL, about 5,550 of them are either anti Vikings or anti Democrat, which is kind of impressive in its own way.
Holy crap. 270 comments and it’s barely 8:30, this reminds me of the old DN days.
My sleep is all messed up so most are mine. woke at 330. MAGA!
Still jet-lagged?
not too much but I woke up at 300 and was up. I went to bed like 8, so tired
mine is the opposite, going to bed at 330 am
I woke up at friggin 4 this morning. Couldn’t go back to sleep.
4 is not morning. It is the middle of the night.
I was up really early, too.
sell a little advertising and you’re making money
Yeah, going to turn on AdSense at some point here, working on it with the devs. I just want to be careful to make sure they ads aren’t too obtrusive, I want to keep the site as user-friendly as possible.
I like this
WHOOP WHOOP.
and hello new guy.
your name reminds me of Tool’s fourty six and two
change is coming through my SHADOWWWWWWWWW
no, the name is the answer to life, the universe, and everything
What a great song, have you seen this?
Why is the girl the only one in black and white? Sexism?
climate change
the thread got a big head start with politics, climate change and teachers unions, but some football discussion is happening too
we welcome it all…
we don’t need to be cavemen and only discuss one topic…
the earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old
Shhhhhh, If Trump said it’s so then Fivefoxnews would believe it.
Well,
Genesis:
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
There was no timetable mentioned as to how long the Earth was formless and empty.
Not to mention it’s the old testament. Jewish book, Christians need to stop pretending it’s their book. Most Jewish folks will admit that it’s a book that gave their people guidance and teach lessons not factual descriptions of things that happened.
LOL – the branch is grafted onto the root
Yeah, I’ve heard that one before but I’ve never seen a branch and root contradict one another in numerous numerous ways.
Paul wrote it. You know who contradicted Paul?
Saul.
lol. Do you think Paul ever met Saul? Were mirrors invented?
Point is, I don’t see how the OT and NT are incompatible. When progressive revelation occurs, some accept the new revelation, some don’t. Those groups contradict each other, sure, but it the former group is correct, then the two revelations are reconciliatory.
There are many contradictory points made things like the old testament fire and brimstone eye for an eye stuff in the OT that Jesus was like, “nah” lol. Old Testament supports stoning adulterers to death, again, Jesus said let he who is without sin… There some pretty direct contradictions and then many indirect contradictions.
Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
I don’t know man, Jews have over 600 Mitzvah’s/commandments. Christians have 10 lol. It’s a cute saying but it still doesn’t negate the fact that there is much contradiction in that infallible book. I always, even when I was little and first learned humans are flawed and God didn’t write the Bible but rather told man what to write… I was like OK, so this is a warning that this book was written by people who make mistakes, get things wrong etc…
lol, not to mention what the catholic church decided to include or not back in the day. I’ll leave it at that.
Very true. Concerning that book…
“It was the stone rejected by the builders”
Jews rejected the Son. Many still do.
Well in a lot of ways it was the culture of focus on religious rule keeping Jesus set out to change that culture and promote grace. I mean they both worship the god of Abraham right? Want some real fun, study up on the Henothiesm as it pertains to god of Abraham.
I was kidding
I lean old-earth these days, but I wouldn’t bet my soul on it
ha ha ha ha ha ha
perfect
Well at least you’re not a flat earther
not yet!
Pete, do you ever hear from your flat earther person?
a couple of times in June, but not since.
One of my college buddies is the main publisher sidekick to Ken Ham at Answers in Genesis.
oh yeah? was your buddy a party animal in college?
Nope nope nope.
I believe it. I imagine most of the AiG folks were a bit stuffy as youngins
Brad – you called the doomers “boomers” in the mythical words (LOL)
well it honestly fits…
same reply works
ok doomer
ok boomer
I’m a gen-x doomer though
ok doomer
ok millennial
go have some avocado toast – careful not to get any on your scarf
shoot, i have to get some more beeswax for my mustache, and get a fake prescription for my fake glasses, i’ll be back to settle this soon
he might spill on his man purse as well
I’m a Boomer Millennial™
They are called Centennials.
Born in 1963, last year of the boomers.
So, I am proudly a BOOMER DOOMER.
Except, it is September and hopium has been consumed.
OMG KIRK IS AWESOME SUPER BOWL FOR SURE THIS TEAM IS AMAZEBALLS FTP
I was born in 1964 and told I was still a boomer.
I wear the badge proud. Not really a doomer however.
depends if you were raised rural, suburban or urban
rural folks are a few years behind culturally
I was raised in a small town. Wabasha.
Lay a lot of pipe there?
more than Wabasha plumbing
almost posted that one instead.
I was fishing with this guy once. He said after fishing we’ll go to the bar. “I’m taking Jake, the one eyed snake, dancing down in tuna town”. I lol’d hard
Oh boy, here come the Grumpy Old Man jokes
Wabasha Brewing in St. Paul is pretty awesom.
Born in 1962.
I saw that, too. Boomer Doomers are the best.
Good, fuck those doomers. Owl baby!
You still pouting? Good grief. Grow the fuck up.
lol
Whoopsie does it, my mistake.
Wait, is there a difference?
it takes a nuanced view to see the difference – it’s slight
I fixed it. Go look & see if you approve.
I’ve got to get totally caught up on de-yellowing comments before I dare refresh
Yeah, I’m really hoping they can get some sort of z key going.
it doesn’t bother me much at all
I always was thorough (or shift+A) back in the z-key days anyway
Nope. I’m both and they are interchangeable.
But……
Sounds like they want to kick it to Reagor and hope for mistakes – could be a good opportunity for Jalen to get some revenge? Or maybe he’ll muff one. They’re afraid of Nwangwu, though.
I’d say this article had some pretty good observations overall. The author (Jimmy Kempski) seems to know the Vikings reasonably well – the only notable mistake was assuming Bradbury > Ingram.
Not sure how good their tackles are, but the fan that wrote this believes in ’em
Lane Johnson hasn’t allowed a sack since like…week 10 of 2020……..
UNTIL WEEK 2 2022!!!!!!!!
maybe the Vikings will pull some more stunts and send 99 or 55 through the middle while a DT harasses one of the OTs
They are good, the Eagles oline is light years better than the mostly 2nd team oline the packers played Sunday.
I’m sure they’re better than the pukes 2nd stringer OTs
First play… like I said last week would be a bomb to Reagor. Just like the Pukes did with Watson and he dropped it… except I’d hope that Reagor catches it.
that’d be a great way to start. if he drops it and we still win, that’ll be a hilarious talking point against the puker fans saying the game would’ve been totally different if Watson caught it.
Seems like running through the B gap (or further outside) for Cook could slow that interior pass rush – and perhaps hammering Mattison up the middle a few times will weaken the DTs’ resolve…?
-phillyvoice
Sure, these are all good observations, but LOL at this:
Ha! They don’t know how well Ingram did in the preseason and at camp. They see a couple of struggles in week 1 and assume he’s the weak point. I wonder if the Eagles coaches are similarly fooled.
We Vikings fans know that Bradbury is the weak link here.
Yup, quickest way between two points is a straight line, meaning a noser going right through Bradburied.
I expect to see Mattison tackled for a loss in a play that makes us hold our breath wondering if Quirk got the ball into the RB’s hands successfully
That’s very encouraging.
-phillyvoice(dot)com
Darius Slay? He was targeted 9 times in week 1 and allowed 3 catches. PFF score: 73.6
Other members of the secondary don’t score as highly. I’m not too worried about Slay locking down JJ, but even if he’s locking down whoever his assignment is play-to-play, there’s enough skill players to spread the ball around … IF the oline can do a decent job against the Eagles dline. That’s a big if.
Yup that’s the matchup to watch… our OL vs their DL.
Slay is good as is Bradberry. They aren’t going to let JJ beat them. we have no other threats. Nobody else had over 38 yards last week. thelen is slow and old.
They’re good corners yes. But they aren’t the top “lockdown” guys that others in the league are touted as.
They have Epps and CGJ as safeties. It will be a good matchup of our OL can hold up.
We used to have Epps
did you know the Eagles waiver wired him?
we drafted him in the 6th round!
never even made it to our practice squad
so now we have Cine
and no depth at center
deli at center depth, schlottmmann
Someone had mentioned this before…. Just can’t remember who….
on grass and outside, we have 2 winning road records since 1998. I suspect they will get pressure up the middle on turd and future all pro ezra
Jordan Davis vs the IOL will be a fun matchup to watch
he’s a back-up but I’m sure will rotate. Old Fletcher still can play maybe
Is there a different LG we should start?
Someone that’s… BETTER THAN EZRA?
Yeah he’s on another roster though.
somebody wasn’t listening to music in 1995
i got it
I was thinking of you when I posted it
i appreciate that
no
Must be Good if Better Than Ezra.
^ this guy better than ezras
Slay is a top lockdown corner in this league imo when he’s healthy. Now saying any corner in this league can lockdown JJ is another topic for debate. I don’t think there is one who can.
He will almost certainly do a better job of limiting JJ than the packers did, but part of that might be due to the running game finding success (as I think it might)
Fun fact… Eagles DC is a Zimmer protege. Was asst DB coach from 14-17.
we might win!
LOL – advantage: us
correct and they won’t do what pack did as that’s a mistake. They’ll double him and make beaker beat them with 38 yr old 14m thelen or donnie and all his imaginary awesomeness from 1 year after almost gettimg cut
I hope they do double JJ. I need Thielen to get his old ass into the end zone. Twice
@It’s all about my fantasy team now@
Well and lets not forget KJ having a coming out party as well. I heard he looked REALLY good in camp (I know that’s just camp) but that is a weapon waiting to capitalize on. That’s what I love about having so many weapons with a offensive minded Coach. I really believe if a team shuts down a game plan he will actually adapt.
I agree!!
@It’s all about my fantasy team now@
Huh????
5 thinks Thielen is a WR5, tops
No, just now, he’s just getting old.
who? Irv who got 0 (zero), donnie who had 14 yards while JJ had 5 guys on him? ole thelen, he of 15M salary who has had 1 (one) 100 yard game since 2020?
you’re obviously forgetting about Mundt….
i’m calling a breakout game for him.
AND HAM
yeah him too!
Mundt will be blanketed by their best defender
it’s ELLEFSON time!
MundtCake is good, come in a special pan and have boston creme in middle. Mommy made many for you
He just had his breakout game with career high 3 receptions for career high 17 yards with a career high longest catch of 12 yards. You can’t expect him to set career highs every week now.
MUNDT
AT was wide open and beaker never threw it to him. We only scored 6 points in the second half, iggles going to shut us down
Eagles took our punt returner instead of Jefferson in the 2020 draft, LOL. This will be JJ’s revenge game (if he cares about such things). Remember Randy’s game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving? He only caught 3 passes :/
He made those 3 count though
absolutely, LOL
They have the last laugh though over wreck. wreck traded mahomes/watson for the wimp fragile sam and then got taitn stamped 38-7 on way to winning Owl. We haven’t been to an Owl since you were 10.
how old do you think I am?
I wasn’t born yet last time the Vikings went to a SB
I’d say you are 46?
41
ouch, you old. Body starts falling apart at 40, lol
aren’t you in your 50’s?
He had to carry a 2000 pound cape buffalo back to camp, and that was probably harder than it used to be.
you got 894 lbs of meat.
unfortunately, you could only carry 100 lbs back to the wagon.
I shot lots of Buffalo
yes but me and Lifer are strong like bull
as five said though, you old…
i’m 4 years younger, SUCKER
I’d rather be 41
i’d rather be in heaven
Amen
YES!
one day
I wish the railroad workers did strike, run that traitor buffet into the ground. fkn pos he is
it would only last a few hours.
yup, cause buffett and his puke fkn lowlifepols would stop it. fkn pos buffett.
Uhhhh ok
you might want to read up who is running our oil on his trains….
Not to mention how he lobbied Congress to pass a law that all tankers had to be upgraded to double hulls, and only his company could provide those.
laws have been on the books before buffet bought the BN
True, but that was before Buffet funneled hundreds of millions to democrats through a hundred of his different companies.
ding ding and why keystone (clean method) was shuit down day fkn 1! Buffet is a fkn traitor pos in all ways. Comes across as grandfatherly on TV but he’s a ruthless asshole traitor coward
Just like 98% of capitalists.
Only a few like Patagonia’s founder Yvon Chouinard are willing to sacrifice while being responsible growing a successful business. Read this and learn something.
https://apple.news/A61TN_9GOTkq1cfK6Iki0cA
“read this and learn something”
apple(dot)news
LOL, no
It’s a Wall Street Journal article but hey formulate an opinion without even knowing the source. Let me guess..WSJ doesn’t meet your standards either?
Oh, I love me some Butterbean fights. Always the underdog who can punch like a mule kicks.
I met that asshole back in the early 1980’s, he went fishing with us. Chouinard is one of the biggest piece of shits I have ever had to deal with.
Then I realized he donated money to anti hunting organizations and have boycotted him and his companies ever since.
Huge piece of shit asshole on a personal level.
I take he’s a piece of shit?
Class A fuck stain.
No argument here.
Hope MN fires every teacher in the entire state, fuck them all.
wow, that’s quite a take
my kids have some excellent teachers (some)
Yeah, maybe not all, about 95%. The other 5% get lumped in with the losers. I’m fkn sick of 95% of teachers. took an easy path and now think they deserve 500K a year
95% of teachers are losers who took an easy path and they think they deserve 500K a year? Try teaching sometime, go substitute, see how easy it is. Then put on top of it having to create the lessons, and all the other things that go along with it. It’s far from easy. You’ve lost more of your metal faculties than Biden! (this is me assuming you had some at some point) (Also I haven’t been following what’s happening in Minnesota, I do know their teacher’s union is absolutely ridiculous and holds far too much power)
Teachers are glorified daycare. The unions have set it up to protect bad teachers like all unions do with bad employees at the expense of good ones. New teachers are at an extreme disadvantage and overall there’s this trend that more are bringing stuff into the clasroom
That doesn’t need to be there than needs to be.
as with any group… painting with a large brush isn’t right, but far too much “education” money is spent on admin and not the people in the trenches… students and teachers.
Vouchers fix all of this.
No they are not glorified daycare. That shows how truly ignorant you are and how brainwashed you are.
As far as unions go, they ARE NOT inherently a bad thing. But with much of life it’s about balance. Maybe this has changed but a teaching buddy of mine in Minnesota at one point said you have no say in that you HAVE to pay into the union. That’s wrong. I know in SD you have the choice but it’s like 6-700 bucks to be a member of the SD Teacher’s union… lolwut?
teacher’s union is literally a terrorist org ad THAT is actually why the education system is a fkn joke. It’s about the union, not educating. Cool thing is you are home by 3pm to catch Hogan’s Heroes and Giligan’s Island reruns on Nick
No teacher is home by 3 pm. You’re really becoming a joke. Your take on some of these issues really tarnishes if you have a good point at times.
In Denver and being my own GF I can tell you that’s fact. And she never once did shit at home, ever. I don’t care about your feelings, I care about $5 gas and $200 natural gas bills for working people. You live in fantasyland. vote for sleepy, I don’t gaf.
Younger grade teachers don’t hand out much homework, if ever. Upper grades have a thousand times more grading and lesson plan crap.
But those younger grades are MUCH more exhausting dealing with herding cats all day. Oof.
My son is now in an area where a stupident beats the crap out of a teacher almost every day.
shit hole cali where 40% of the people were not born in the USA but they all shit out 8 kids and have the fkn gall to expect us to teach them. lol, that is why I HATE the current hard left, they are ruining the country FAST and by design
Well I can tell you I have MANY teacher friends and not 1 of them is ever home before 4. They all do extra at home. But I guess that’s my experience so my stance on “none” are home by 3 is wrong. Thanks for sorting me out on that. (see that’s how someone can be wrong at times and not have to just change the subject to defend their political overlords).
fair enough, I just said in this case. I can guarantee private sector people who pay for teachers almost always work longer hours.
My wife teaches in WI. There is no union at least at her school. She is never home by 3 and wasn’t even back when there was a union. Some teachers care. She doesn’t make anywhere near $500k. The pension is nice however.
I’m not bashing all teachers in any way. We need great ones. The union is not about teaching or having great teachers imo. Midwest has, BY FAR, the best public schools in the country and it’s not even close. That will end as there is nothing but 3rd world illegals now all over.
My bro and his wife are teachers. I have several other close family members who are teachers. These are their words. Some schools better than others but the tenure rules hurt new teachers and protect the older ones.
Parenting… as what was talked about is a huge problem kn schools today. Parents expect to drop kids off have the teachers do all the work and pick up kids after work and hand them an iPad so they don’t bother them.
this is not ALL teachers or ALL parents but far too many of both. My SIL for example teaches 2nd grade. She has students who don’t know the alphabet to start the year. These same kids she sees over the summer with kids twice their age smoking dope on the streets by the school.
my youngest? Is 4 can count into the hundreds, knows his alphabet, and is already reading. These aren’t super feats by any means but it takes work as a parent besides dropping them off at school.
correct and 90% of the issues kids have is not having both or having bad parents. Usually kids from good parents turn out fine
The hve a better chance but nothing is absolute.
Parenting is by FAR the hardest job out there.
of course, got you biden kids, etc but then again that is bad parenting marrying your nanny
I don’t even know what this means.
Lost me, too.
Schwarz?
That’s what I was thinking, too
sleepy married Jill, his nanny. creep
I don’t get since his daughter has come out and accused him of molesting her why it isn’t front page news everywhere. This world and people suck.
He has a “D”
Seems like an accurate post Mick.
Bad parenting seems to be the biggest issue I have seen, but bad teachers can and do exist.
MPLS is gonna make sure no shit teacher that is in any minority can ever get fired.
@that should work out well@
Hey, voters in MPLS just re-elected a mayor who stood with his thumb up his butt while they burned half the city down. It’s not like they like people who do a good job.
@I thought those were peaceful protests?@
*mostly peaceful
It looks like the J6 protesters should have burnt Pelosi’s office to a crisp, if this is the new standard.
I agree, parents suck. Boomers being the worst by raising millennials, who are now raising even worse kids. One of the reasons I support mandatory abortions for much of the population.
If you mean aborting the adults, then I concur.
lol, I think there is another term for that.
Not sure what that is. Soylent Greening?
Same thing with different names. War, genocide, revolution, extermination, depending on who is doing it
ding ding ^^^^
My son got screwed 2 years in a row by union rules as he was trying to become a teacher. Got a degree in history, had to add teacher classes, and then another year of credentialing. He was a huge expert on history and social studies, loved teaching kids those subjects.
He got hired, then a week before school starts an english teacher who got thrown out of their old school because they were a crap teacher but who managed to get a social studies credential, sniped the job out from my son due to union seniority. 2 years in a row.
this is what I’m talking about. The tenure for teachers puts younger teachers at a disadvantage big time.
That doesn’t stop the news media in cahoots with the Union putting out constant stories about “the teacher shortage” in Minnesota and every other state.
The only way to solve any supposed teacher shortage is to get rid of union and seniority rules so that newbies don’t get tossed around like a 3-week old salad.
It’s apparent to me that many teacher’s unions get their jollies in treating good teachers like crap.
this is what I mean, union is crap and everybody but edgelusher knows it.
You really don’t read what I say do you? Your Republican filter so strong that you can’t even react to what I actually say but have to twist it so you can actually attack it? I agree that Teacher unions have gone too far, they absolutely have. I just said the Teacher’s unions in MN and SD have gone too far. I can’t speak for other states because I know nothing about them. See I actually only speak on what I know about, unlike you. But Unions in and of themselves are not inherently bad. They aren’t, it’s just there are so many that have gotten too powerful and too corrupt. Why does everything in the country have to be so damn extreme?
teacher’s union has nothing to do with my politics but in case you want to know theyb are big lefties and in Baltimore’s 13 high schools not 1 single senior can do math. #clown
Yeah I am sure that’s not ignorant hyperbole.
Unions are obsolete and are inherently bad these days. There is no reason they should exist, especially for gvt employees, they should be illegal.
teacher’s unions are TERRIBLE
Should be disbanded and made illegal. Obsolete and criminal these days
Who five is I don’t want him teaching our youth to be like.
would be good as I would focus on science and math vs bullshit. Teach computer skillz, finance skillz vs the utter bullshit they teach now
If by science and math you mean STEM then yeah but are you ready to accept current climate change extremes are man made and real or are you going to make up your own science as you go that suits your political opinions? If that’s the case then no you’re not teaching.
Lifer….
come on man.
the climate crap is crap.
stay on topic.
I saw Rand Paul reaming out Dr. Fauxi yesterday about his fake science. Oof.
No it isn’t. Climate change is absolutely real. Now what’s up for debate is the why is it happening? Jumping to tree hugger conclusions isn’t the answer. Just another issue that when I go, “Climate change is real” I get called a Democrat by puppet Republicans but then when I go, “Tree hugger hippie solutions aren’t addressing the real issue.” I get called a Republican by puppet Dems.
climate has changed since the earth was created.
why are we breaking 100 year old heat records….BECAUSE CLIMATE CHANGES…
did climate stop changing for the last 100 years if we are breaking records for back then?
My pet dinosaur died because of climate change. I’m still sad.
This is my point. The climate is absolutely changing. When people say it’s not, it just shows the way they think has been highjacked by their conservative media. The same goes for people who say electric cars are the answer and cow farts are the issue lol. They’ve had the way they think hijacked by the liberal media.
but climate isn’t changing for any reason other than IT HAS ALWAYS CHANGED
so to try to convince the world it’s because of cars and planes and trains and all that is absolutely bogus…
Well, we don’t know that it isn’t changing at a higher rate or for the worse because of industrialization (I am not saying it is either, I just know I don’t have or know all the answers). That said, I exactly agree with your 2nd point. Because we don’t know then agreed it is bogus.
I mean when people talk about the issue of deforestation and they want to attack logging companies etc… when the real issue is poor farmers clearing areas with fire so they can farm and survive another year… The hippies don’t want to attack those poor farmers but they need to attack someone so instead they attack the logging companies when those companies are planting more tress because without trees they have no company lol.
Much of the “climate change” money for the environment goes to New York City lawyers to sue someone. It’s not like they can sue someone in South America, so they sue U.S. logging companies and big corporations like power companies. They don’t GAF if the whole Amazon gets burned to the ground by developers, farmers, miners, etc.
Oh yeah, it’s corrupt as shit. But climate change is real.
Another reason anyone who was a bar member should not be able to run for public office
That’s my biggest issue. Our “recorded data” is such a minute, tiny sample, that basing policy on data that is less than .0001% of time on this rock is folly.
I’m 100% with ya. Again, it’s just when people say “Climate change isn’t real” I just go… ooohhhh you just spew back what Fox News or whatever conservative meadia tells you huh?
Yeah what touched this off was I said the climate crap is crap.
it is a grift.
not denying temp changes, just don’t believe we are the cause of it.
Yep, for sure. Climate change is absolutely real. Man-made climate change has not been proven. Too many people rely on the national news to get their opinions, so they really have no clue why they believe something, they just believe it because they heard it on FoxSnooze, CNN, PMSMBC, etc.
Too may elephants are causing deforestation in Africa, but you don’t hear about it on the news, because it ruins 2 differnt narratives they are lying about..
Yup
It’s like all the elementary, junior high, and high school kids getting on websites and wanting to save the whales, since there are only a few left. Never mind that there are still way more than a million of various kinds, with only a couple endangered.
Actually humpbacks have maxed out their habitat again
Exactly. Been changing since the beginning of time, I doubt humans have much of an effect.
Forest fires these days are the main spewers, followed by China.
Volcanic eruptions are very bad, too. Maybe need to build some gigantic corks to put in the tops of those things so that they don’t hurt the polar bears.
Yeah, but we’d have to make the corks out of ancient timber forests or fossil fuels, so screw that, I mean, what kind of commie are you?
good point
Actually, exhaling by humans/animal creates more CO2 than almost all other sources combined.
Plants/Trees need CO2.
That’s the way GOD designed it.
weird how you haven’t been hacked by your bullshit cnn idols, only conservatives. Go fill your tank clown. Go to the border clown.
I missed this one earlier. You are so brainwashed into this “us vs them” you think that just because I disagree with your 100% right wing agenda that I am automatically a leftist. You are such a tool in this regard.
lol, okay, CCCP type then
Naw, a think for myself type. I don’t need to adopt a label so I know how to think.
Glaciers have been melting here the last 10k years. So yes, climates are changing, always have been.
That’s what I’m saying.
I had a friend killed by a calving glacier about 30 years ago.
That’s awful.
I remember the one by Seward. I did tours in Glacier Bay for several years. Saw some massive calving. Never got very close.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/30749021/eugene-ernest-weschenfelder
Can’t recall that one, but likely knew him by sight since he was a Challenge gut. I worked at Alyeska 80s-90s. Do not kayak up to glaciers
“Climate change” as in man made climate change is a money grab. A grab by all of those in power.
you can’t build X factor or divert water fro your farms Becuase of some bug… but the windmills can kill 1000s of endangered birds Becuase…. SCIENCE.
yes, the climate changes but thinking we have control over it is foolish. Think if “we” don’t pollute but China India Pakistan and other developing countries can without regard is foolish.
i see benefits to solar energy… on a personal scale… not on a scale that powers municipalities.
funneling trillions to feed the green machine instead of promoting things like regenerative farming practices… backyard gardens and flocks… products made WITHIN the borders of this country rather than overseas would be more beneficial to the climate than 1000 acre wind and solar farms.
exactly
Have you noticed:
they still fly in private jets
Are still buying beach front property
Are still heating and cooling their mansions with fossil fuels
All of their climate predictions have failed since the 1970’s
They don’t care about the climate.
Nobody knows what the weather was one million years ago.
It’s all about power and money.
there is always climate change and there alwasy will be. I can state as a fact taxing US citizens won’t solve it and I can state for a fact china and india (biggest polluters by FAR) don’t GAF as does other developing nations. But thanks for your tax money to pay CHINA for them polluting. fuck you biden
Sounds like everyone hates Edgecrusher71 when you have an opinion that does not agree with their beliefs.
People suck
Who hates him?
I love when someone can express an idea without name calling and slander.
You’re obviously in the wrong place
Friggin Doomers or millenniels, er, wait…
That’s fine. It just goes to show how completely divided we are that people can’t see past their own nose. The second I disagree with someone like Fivefingers they are so conditioned by the media that anyone who disagrees with any part of their right wing brain washing that immediately makes me a Dem and vice-versa on the other side. It’s what keeps us so completely divided so we’re easier to conquer. I don’t choose a side.
Who’s conditioned by the media? Anyone smart hardly ever watches TV any more, can whip through 50 websites of all stripes in a flash, and then research stuff, put it in a historical perspective, and then postulate what the pol wants to do if taken to the logical or extreme conclusion.
correct, CNN almost defunct so even middle of the rd dems know these people are insane. ha ha ha , donnie the lemon just lost his spot
false, I just know things like letting 5 million illegals in is treason and infaltion to the gills,. etc. If this was slick willie I wouldn’t really care. These people are way worse and dangerous. vote for sleepy, it’s your right
I don’t disagree with the letting in 5 million is an issue. So is storming the capital… but again, you won’t ever condemn the negative actions of your political identity will you?
I’ve never voted for sleepy, Trump is better than Sleepy (insanely low bar), I’ve said this multiple times now. But of course you’ll just disregard this reality because it goes against your narrative.
storming the capital (even if you think that is anything) is literally LIGHT YEARS from bringing in millions to buy votes as your message doesn’t resonate with actual citizens. It’s serious and it’s treason. They are literally ignoring our laws.
Then quit defending the left like they are ok, they are not. You’ll feel it, trust me.
Is it illegal, yes or no? We both know the answer is yes. Do you condone it? Yes or no? Quit with your terrible logic.
I haven’t defended the left once. I agreed with your stance on the left. The issue is you refuse to see the issues and short comings with the right. They are both corrupt as shit. They both ignore laws and the constitution. This is basic shit.
Nope, I posted many times that they are bad too. YOU refuse to acknowledge it because you lost this argument so badly. I told you bush’s war was terrible, mcconnell is a Pos. Difference is if they were in power we would be pumping oil and not having our country invaded making it even harder on the working class and the poor and our budgets. It’s a fkn joke they do this and every single person in the USA doesn’t march on DC un til it stops and all are deported and pistol whipped
While at the same time you literally told me Obama and Biden never did ANYTHING good EVER. You lost that argument. The craziest part about all this is I think you and I would agree on a lot of items but we’re too busy fighting because all I did was point out that both sides do good and bad. But the good on both sides is just enough to try and buy votes, what really matters is pleasing their financial backers.
It’s things like I agree with you that any teaching union I have ever heard of has gone too far, and are corrupt nasty things. But that doesn’t mean all unions are bad, they aren’t. It’s about balance of power.
I agree we don’t know exactly to what extent our involvement in industrialized living has an effect on the climate so there shouldn’t be a bunch of money and bills passed to legislate that. We agree on that… but Climate Change exists.
they never did FTMP. Obama is a subversive, he has stated he hates the USA and that it’s a bad place. He’s a liar, he’s not smart, he wsent around the world apologizing for the USA (that’s why he’s “liked” while Trump is not, lmao), he is the worst thing we have ever had and he’s still the president. He ruined the military as well. Guy is a JOKE. But you don’t have to believe me, that is your right.
Politicians who lie bother you? Then you must HATE Trump. Haha, they all lie!
I don’t know anyone who agreed w/storming the capital. One thing on that subject though, it seems it was pre planned and intentional on the part of the democrats and using the FBI to facilitate it. Yes, Trump supporting rubes were the main body of fodder used to do it, but too many other things point to the dems and fbi causing it intentionally so they could discredit Trump and his supporters.
After all, if it was a fair election, why did the democratic party hire over 100 attorneys to quash the audit?
You apparently haven’t met Fivefingers. It was literally nothing in his eyes. Gee, I wonder why.
Correct, nothing. 1 person died, a 33 ytr old vet woman who was 5’2 , 105lbs and murdered by a racist balck cop who got off. Weird how floyd issue was different when he was an actual criminal. It’s bullshit, see Ray epps. Plus, they all got punished and are still in jail w/o due process due to your idol.
People dying is nothing… way to go man. Someone dying isn’t nothing. Storming the capital was illegal and bullshit, the reaction in Minneapolis was illegal and bullshit. Quit trying to justify one side by pointing out something you think is worse from the other side. It’s terrible logic.
People didn’t die, a person died. Singular.
Oh OK, that made the whole situation alright, only 1 person died. Got it. Notice the next sentence I said “someone”.
they walked in and that’s that. I find it hard to believe you think it was serious.
Didn’t say it was super serious, I said it was illegal. The whole premise is you said Dems support breaking laws. Then I asked about your stance on January 6th because no matter how much you down play it, they broke the damn law. It proved my point, as with darn near everything in these polarized situations when it backs their agenda/narrative both Dems and Republicans support breaking the law, while the other side supports law enforcement. It gets so old.
As I have already stated, the worst part of the thing was the dems orchestrating it and getting away with it.
Your point is irrelevant as they WERE punished, Can you comprehend that? Nobody got away with it. Opposite of those looters and pos people who burned down cities, businesses and the fkn VP of this country literally helped to bail them out. Anyway, as you said it’s a free world for a bit longer and I’m done with the left in this version of them. IMO, they are destroying our country, which I care about.
It wasn’t as big of an issue as the left and press are making it. It is a huge deal when you consider it was done by the left.
One thing is certain the prosecution and media attention is arbitrary and capricious when compared with other riots of the last 5 years.
I haven’t watch any tv news in years. No local, national, cable or any tv news.
@I get all my political news from Lifer and 5.@
Well 5 is just a conglomerate of right wing nuttery. I am not saying all of what he says is nuts but anyone that fixated on one side being correct and the other side always being wrong is dangerous thinking.
Not sure if you know this, but @ @ means sarcasm. I am a conservative thinker, but more than once my oldest has called me a Libertarian. I, like you, think for myself. Usually. When my wife let’s me.
I do know that means sarcasm, I was just playing along. I figured you didn’t get all your news from them lol.
LOL
Benjammin: Hey VP what are your thoughts on the current socioeconomic situation?
VP: I’ll let you know once my wife tell me.
yeah, having a border and not having 25% infaltion is “nuttery”. leaving afghan and 80B worth of eqiupment and our cxitizens is nuttery, spending like a sailor while saying you are fighting infaltion is nuttery, telling 5 year olds they are trannies is nuttery, stopping our energy sector tp beg the saudi’s is nutttery. lmao
Again the issue isn’t the points you bring up, it’s that it is almost always a right wing agenda with a blind eye to anything negative the right does with an almost absolute stance the left can do no right.
lol, again, it’s not that. I don’t see anything the left is doing right. Can you please expound on all the good things obama/sleepy have done since 2020? I’ll hang up and listen.
No, because you’ll either totally down play any good point or move the goal post. That’s how this works with people like you on either side. But again… I’ve repeated on here several times my stance on sleepy.
Ha! This is awesome.
It’s freedom man, it’s how it should be.
I agree
wrong
let us, for the sake of argument, assume that climate change is real and human behavior is a significant factor and that it will become a problem/crisis in the not-to-distant future.
Are YOU ready to accept that the scientifically viable solutions exclude the ideas in things like the “Green New Deal” and include things like spreading capitalism to third-world countries so they stop burning so much wood, dung, and trash?
Nuclear is the lowest hanging fruit in the US. Capitalism and free markets are the lowest hanging fruit in developing nations.
That’s what this is about same as scamdemic. The reason the greenies don’t like nuclear (by far the best solution ) is b/c they don’t gaf about climate change, it’s culture change and communism.
when you’re right, you’re right
You´ll find this one hilarious, five: our local green commies over here in the EUSSR (and the leaders of this abomination) are now declaring nuclear and gas “environmentally safe” while at the same time wanting to outlaw burning wood as “bad for the environment”.
It´s not about climate change, it´s about the deconstruction and destruction of Western society. But that is known.
correct and what edgelusher doesn’t get is this is destroying us. It’s not just some difference of policy opinion. It’s new territory.
Yup. When they say they want to “reduce carbon”, they are talking about us.
covid scam showed you what they are about
nope, just actual science. They can decide for themselves on the farce that is climate change, that is fair
Follow the money. Dopey GOP didn’t stop the bazillion dollar climate money gravy train going to leftist universities for redistribution purposes while they had a chance.

I want good teachers, it’s key. But if you think that is what they care about you are stoned. I dated a DPS (denver public) teacher for 2 years. worked exactly 163 days a year and like ALL the teachers I personally know they were avg smart as well. I expect that, doesn’t pay that well, etc. But they wouldn’t work during covid scam (lol) and now want all this shit on top of cadillac health care nobody else gets and a pension. I stand by my words. Most suck donkey balls and are communists themsleves. Not all, still lots of good ones.

Sounds like they may had dodged the rail strike bullet
lmao
Lamo
why would they let them strike right now? shoot them if they do
They don’t have to let them. Solved years ago.
wrong, watch what the Fed gov’t does if say airlines all go on strike. read history, you’ll learn. Midturds coming and demons have to (threaten the free world on capping oil??, lmao) get oil down for a week and those pos now run all our oil by traitor buffett and his fossil fuel driven monopolized railroads. fuck him
Wrong what? If the railroad workers strike congress can force them back to work. That was
That was put in place a long time ago. A stroke is largely symbolic as the RR workers have been neutered in that regard.
Who is going to enforce a law/rule saying labor can’t go on strike or force them back to work in this Administration?
I don’t know how that works I’m just saying the Fed can stop whatever they want , especially now. Not even free elections anymore and they don’t even hide it.
There are laws on the books specifically for railroads that Congress can make them go back to work.
kinda like the air traffic controllers
Current Congress won’t do anything against Unions aside from lip service, especially now before the GOP might take control.
Doubtful. They cannot afford to let the trains stop. RR writes bigger checks than the unions can.
Don’t forget the first rule of socialism/communism (invented by me), that ideology trumps economy every single time. Hence, places that are destitute like North Korea, Cuba, etc.

It just becomes so apparent that you are truly one sided biased politically and the republican party does your thinking for you. If you disagree then post some things they have done wrong because you’ve admitted that both sides are corrupt because we all know they both are. But you only ever point out the bad of the Dems and the Good of the Republicans. When it’s very obvious both are corrupt and neither care 1 bit about the country, or the people in it. Flame the Dems, they deserve it! So do the Republicans.

Interest rate rise by then will lead to interest consuming the whole federal budget. Just wait until the urbanites run out of food stamps because there is no food stamp money. Rurals can grow their own food.
They are already super worried there isn’t going to be enough purchasing of our bonds. Now, you are looking at another point. Mortgage rates over 6% for first time in like 15 years and apps lowest since 1999. Now, you could default on the interest. When they can’t print money it will be literally a war on the streets as these thugs murder to try to get food. I’m not even an ecomonics expert but I would guess 1% max have any clue how dire things could get. They are gonna raise them again too before year end. Doing it all wrong and now watch the layoffs.
I keep seeing articles about “having record federal income tax revenue” but our spending is growing so rapidly that we’re now at a $1.31 trillion deficit.
it’s a joke. They are doing away with fiat. They literally announced earlier this year they are going to that social credit currency where they can track you like fkn china. NOBODY evens talks about that. Now, (which few realize) they are going to send IRS agents to disarm you else why do they need arms? That’s what that’s about. Arresting any political opponents openly. Then they will launch the full out assault.
They’ll be getting a defacto gun and ammunition registry through VISA and Mastercard. So then the IRS agents can raid you.

Alright I was wrong, wasn’t paying close enough attention Sunday watching multi games at the same time…rewatched the Eagles / Lions highlights (below) and yeah…Eagles are legit good. Power run game, Hurts looks to be in full control and comfortable, AJ Brown the Lions never did stop once he just physically dominated them. Doesn’t feel like a game where we go to Philly and have things go our way. There’s definitely some opportunities against their defense but this is going to be a TOUGH game to pull out a victory. I’d personally put the spread Vikings +6.
Watch out for the running games
The Eagles have arguably the most dangerous ground game in the NFL, in large part because quarterback Jalen Hurts is such a threat in that area. They led the league with 159.7 rushing yards per game in 2021 and picked up right where they left off. They ran for 216 yards and four touchdowns against the Lions, with Hurts (17-90-1) and running back Miles Sanders (13-96-1) leading the way. This will be a major test for the Vikings’ run defense, which allowed the Packers to gain 6.6 yards per carry.
Eagle @ Lions highlights
lol, you said vikes win by by 10 yesterday.
And I said above I was wrong. What are you missing here? Oh I know, you never admit you’re wrong you just lie or bully.
Just sayin, that’s a big swing
I watched Hurt’s a little more closely and yeah he’s calm and confident. They won’t miss on 3rd down like the packers did.
he has a lot better weapons now. I’m afraid of Dallas in this game.
I’m more Team Doomer than Team Pollyanna, but I erred on the side of optimisim in the pick-em league and picked the Vikings. Low confidence points, however.
Due to this news, I may yet amend the pick. I haven’t watched enough to have a handle on many teams. All I know about the Eagles right now is that Marky Mark was in a movie once where he played a receiver for them…
One of my favorite movies is with Marky-Mark, who lives in Wyoming, who gets set up in Philadelphia by a corrupt Senator to determine how to prevent an assassination, then gets blamed for it. Shooter.
I actually haven’t seen that one. I will check it out.
He’s got a sneaky amount of movies. 76 actor credits on IMDB.
Really? It’s superb. Lone Survivor is great too even though latrell is a punk
I’ve seen Lone Survivor.
Marky Mark was a big draw for me, so I haven’t seen a lot of his leading-man movies. I usually see him in ensemble movies, like The Departed.
I like a good sniper movie, though, like Enemy At The Gates. I wonder if Quigly Down Under counts as a sniper movie? I’m going to count it. Great ending.
The books about the Battle of Stalingrad are astounding. That movie is based on a true story.
Carlos Hathcock is the deadliest sniper in US history
Yes, my dad was a big World War II buff and collector, and it rubbed off on me. I actually wrote a book that took place in World War II, but have since forgotten a ton of stuff. I just remember being buried on books: Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Speer Memoirs, Himmler biographies…was nuts.
I know this one guy with a HUGE WWII collection, like amazing quality. He was stationed in German in the 60s, and he bought stuff like crazy for peanuts and shipped it home. I don’t know what he is going to do with that stuff when he dies. He’s got stuff still in its packing grease.
I am too but likely not to your pop’s level. I love the history as that was a just war. Also Korea although they should be paying us and helping us vs our fkn idiot traitor leaders doing the opposite.
I went to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery and also Pt Du Hoc, etc. Then the Battle of Normandy Museum nearby which is awesome. It has all the equipment, etc.
Then, I did Berchtesgaten and went into what’s left of the bunker system, went to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest (really cool), went by Hermann’s old house where he stole all that shit. Went to Dachau, sobering experience.
I read through the Korean Trade Agreement that Hillary signed off on… the worst trade agreement in the history of the USA.
Literally allowed South Korea to sell nearly everything they wanted here without tariffs, and had almost zero about us selling anything to them without tariffs.
that’s why she and her associate (they were never actually married and actually real partners) the mass rapist (literally kicked out of Oxford and the country for rape) have $300,000,000. some “advocates of the workin g class” class they are as they fucked our workers good adn now are again via inflation
That does sound a lot like my dad actually. He went and visited all of those places, too. He brought a brick back from the Eagle’s Nest.
He collected more smaller stuff. Like he had Lugers and daggers, but he also had stuff like a plate of Himmler’s from Wewelsburg.
I found Himmler fascinating. There’s a beta-male who was given power. Society-supported psychopath. One of my favorite stories of him was how SS candidates had to complete an obstacle course in a certain amount of time, and he tried it himself. He was out there fumbling through it, waddling with his lady hips, totally failed, but when he finished, everyone is like, “Great time! You nailed it, sir!”
Very interesting crew, and Goebbels, Heydrich…everyone should learn about those guys so that stuff is never repeated.
I’ll never forget being at the top and there was a hang glider at the same level as me. The Italians built that for him for his 50th birthday. They have a car that is on rails. It goes in one direction and out the same (so you go backwards one way) and then an elevator to the top. Hitler rarely went as he was afraid of heights. I wish I had taken more pictures but was a kid still sort of.
That is awesome stuff your dad got to see and collect. I want a Luger. Lots of guys sent shit back (like in Band of Brothers) during or right after the war too.
Goebbels was a cripple as well. Heydrich got smoked which was good
I always wanted a Mauser Broomhandle. I don’t know why dad didn’t get one of those. He had the Luger and P38.
Heydrich was crazy. Got taken down by horse hair from the car seat getting into his wounds and causing sepsis. Nazis wiped out Lidice in retaliation, though. Creeps, all of them.
Yup, they did that in France all over too and never forget Malmady.
One of my dad’s friends, after the War, was in a newly-developing special ops of some kind.
In training, had to go 200 miles in Germany in X amount of time on foot without getting detected.
One late night, he saw a tiny opening in a hill and thought he could bed down. Crawled into it and found a huge cache of new German small arms. Brought 2 Lugers back and gave one to my dad. Went back a while later and could never find the cave again.
Luger, never fired, was stolen out of dad’s house in Texas 30 years later. Would be worth a boatload now.
That’s pretty awesome. German equipment is pretty neat stuff. There’s probably modern guns that evolved from it. I think the Beretta 92 borrowed from the P38 design.
lol, like the 6M Remington 700’s out there? Remmington stole mauser’s shit and to the victors go the spoils
I have one of those Mausers. I’ve never shot it. I should do that this fall.
I recently got a Walther 99 AS that I haven’t shot either. I don’t know if I will on that one. It’s never been shot. I got it because it is a James Bond gun, and I like James Bond.
Usually, when I shoot, I plink with a .22. Simple pleasures…
You should. Walther PPK was the orignal Bond?
I picked up a Walther PPQ a while ago. Fits my hand better than any other handgun I’ve owned.
They do have nice ergonomics. The P99 AS came with different size backstraps. If I put the biggest one on, I bet I would like it.
For me, the Beretta 92 is maybe most comfortable. I like the fatness of it.
Got myself a Walther Creed some time ago, I like it a lot.
Basically, yes.
Bond started off with a Beretta in Dr. No and was given the PPK fairly quickly into the movie, and that was his signature gun. He used the P5 a bit in the 80s. Then I think he went to the P99 in Goldeneye. He still had the P99 in Casino Royale, which is why I kind of wanted one. Casino Royale is “maybe” my favorite Bond. It changes, though.
I have a PPK but never shot it. I shot a Makarov once, which is kind of similar, and it was so snappy, that I said, “That’s enough of that.”
Would love to get over there and see all of that.
Honestly Mick, do it no matter what. I’ll never ever forget holding that Omaha Beach sand in my hands or reading a lot of the headstones at the cemetery. These were just boys, mostly 18 or even 17. Just babies. They gave all and they are heroes.
I have some pix with the big guns too somewhere. Plus, I met an actual Rudder Ranger at Point Du Hoc.
Yup, American Cemetery is one of the most sobering places on earth.
agree and it gives perspective which so many in the Big El Salvador need so badly
that’s the plan. I’ll get there.
Yup, great movie. “I’m a US senator” “Yes you are”
I learned a lot about blood clotter in that movie. Added it to my bugout first aid kit.
that’s a good flick
features a hot actress whose parents own the Giants and the Steelers, too
I’ve always had good luck with lucky sperm rich chicks, don’t know why other than charm and height. Her sister got naked in that swedish movie too, even hotter imo when not having the antifa hairdo and clothes.

Eagles offense is good
Eagles defense is bad
Eehhhhhh I wouldn’t say that.
I will
they let the Lions come roaring back
the JARED GOFF Lions
flase, they were up 38-21 in mid 4th, he got beaker stats only
fact checker says you’re only partially correct
Score got WAY too close
Flase, Det scored a TD on like the first or second play of the 4th qtr to make it a 10 point game, then scored another td with like 4 mins left to make it a 3 pt game. Det def coudn’t get a stop on the last possession though and Phi ran out the 4 mins for the 3 point win. It was not decided until the last possession.
it was over
Lions have been a scrappy bunch and will continue to be.
not a guaranteed win by any means.
Jalen hurts is the eagles offense. I’m putting asamoah as a spy on him.
Last year Big Ed held hurts to 55 yards rushing and 178 passing but lost.
TB was the QB and went 22/36 for 226 and no TDs while the Den RBs combined for just under 100 yards.
This is why I rule in NFL. Last year doesn’t mean shit as he had a rookie as top wr, 3 OL out all year, all 3 rb’s out large chunks, was a first time starter, didn’t have Brown.
They won the game vs Den.
each year is a new one but Big Ed ain’t a dummy either.
Who the fuck is Big Ed?
I’m guessing the ninja turtle, Donatell(o).
Asamoah as a spy is probably a better choice than Kendricks
