Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion: 8 Jun 2022

Vikings blog logo

This will be brief, I coached baseball tonight and it’s WAY past my bedtime.

Recent News:

From twincities.com, Vikings receivers went to bat for WR Coach Keenan McCardell this off-season.

Over at Vikings.com, hear Mike Smith talk about defensive personnel groupings, catch highlights from day one of minicamp, and there’s lots more to sift through in the media vault.

That’s all I got, folks, I’m tired. Y’all have at it in the comments, and most of all, be cool to one another.

Oh, here’s a media selection. This is……..something.

Minnesota’s 1998 team tallied a total of 556 points or 35 per game. In their 16 regular-season contests, the Vikings never scored less than 24 points in a single game. This is the benchmark that KOC needs to take a shot at. Right out of the gate he should tell the team they will break that record.

Man you watch today’s presser with KOC I’ll tell you one thing he is the most impressive speaker on the theory of offense and defense I’ve ever heard from a MN coach. Not that the bar’s that high but man this guy is good. He knows his shit way more than any coach we’ve had prior BUT he still has to translate the system to the players. We’ll see if his feel good be responsible style works. Jury is out until the live bullets start flying. (Poor choice of words)🫤

If Bradford had stayed 100% healthy in 2017, we were winning the Owl. Keenum sucked donkies but Diggs and AT at their top of the game bailing him out hid his flaws.

Defense was #1 and we had elite OC.

In 2018, Kirk got handed a regressed defense and the worst OC in NFL history who’s sitting at home drinking beer probably right now unemployed

Faulty logic. The defense was almost completely unchanged from 2017 to 2018 personnel wise. Against good teams in 2018 they gave up big points. They held bad teams to lower scores (Lions held to 9 points twice) but really the offense had several poor games too. DeFlip was not good as a rookie OC.

What’s better, a QB who isn’t a fantastic passer who can trust his receivers to come down with the ball and make great plays, or

A QB who eats the ball because he’s pretty scared he’ll get picked off, thereby keeping his percents up and the team failures up?

LFA your question is based on a false narrative regarding Cousins. He’s not a QB who eats the ball because he’s pretty scared he’ll get picked off, thereby keeping his percents up and the team failures up. That’s really all bogus. Rather you see Cousins time and time again take big hits while delivering the ball accurately to his receivers. I wish someone would put together a video of “Cousins greatest hits” because it would be dozens and dozens of “wow” throws under pressure. You might watch the 2018 and 2019 Eagles games where he got hammered and made some of the greatest throws I’ve ever seen.

The talk was that there would be a significant recalibration of imaging RVU’s, and that remote reads from India would commoditize the industry.

Really every branch of medicine has its interlopers and threats. I’ve had twelve good years and plan to do ten more at least but I’ve stopped worrying about things I can’t control. My best job security is providing fast and accurate reads and always answering calls in a cheerful and informative manner. If the clinicians never have to look at an image (because they have the report) that is job one right there.

I got a call on a CT abd/pel I read for LLQ pain in a teenager. Exam was fairly normal except for some free fluid in rectovesical pouch. Next day pt went to St. Elsewhere and was diagnosed clinically and by scrotal u/s with torsion. Had an orchiectomy unfortunately. The reason for the call was whether I had missed the torsion. Well calling torsion on a CT would be quite the accomplishment unless the testicle was really swollen…plus half the scans of abd/pel don’t have twig and berries included…but as this pt had small hydroceles they thought I should have mentioned torsion. I told them if I suggested torsion on the 50% of patients that have hydroceles they’d be doing a lot of unnecessary ultrasounds…plus when did testicular pain become such a difficult diagnosis…tell me doctor I hope you did a genital exam because I don’t see one on the h&p?

Moral of the story is my job is secure.

Oh man that sucks…only thing I can suggest is trying to wait it out until about mid 2023. Can you get by with a hatchback Civic (that is my current car crush)?

Difference of opinion (I state coincidental my wife states causative) I buried our 2011 F150 in a snowdrift not once but three times and started hearing an ominous moan from the rear differential. We also have a 2021 F150 so debated tossing the 2011 but the stealership convince me to shell out the $2200 for a new rear diff and new front brakes installed. I’m sorta glad we did because my wife uses the ’11 as her daily driver and I use it for the boat ramp.

I share this quote from WaPo about a silo on a ranch nearby. I was looking for info on how deep the MMIII silos are. From the genius of man

It’s buried behind a chain-link fence and beneath a 110-ton door of concrete and steel. It’s 60 feet long. It weighs 79,432 pounds. It has an explosive power at least 20 times greater than the atomic bomb that killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima. An Air Force team is stationed in an underground bunker a few miles away, ready to fire the missile at any moment if the order comes. It would tear out of the silo in about 3.4 seconds and climb above the ranch at 10,000 feet per second. It was designed to rise 70 miles above Earth, fly across the world in 25 minutes and detonate within a few hundred yards of its target. The ensuing fireball would vaporize every person and every structure within a half-mile. The blast would flatten buildings across a five-mile radius. Secondary fires and fatal doses of radiation would spread over dozens more miles, resulting in what U.S. military experts have referred to as “total nuclear annihilation.”

This assumes that your personal solar generates and distributes the power.

Right now any solar home just reduces the power distribution. The power companies are the ones generating the power and supplying it to the home. They aren’t going to the let themselves go broke IMO.

In 2021, about 4,116 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) (or about 4.12 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States. About 61% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases. About 19% was from nuclear energy, and about 20% was from renewable energy sources.

Apologize if I misunderstand your meaning, but again the only financially sustainable way we can develop less reliance on fossil fuels as an energy source is to develop nuclear. Wind and solar have the same weakness of availability and how to store any excess energy. That 20% figure is skewed towards hydro and that capacity is pretty well developed.

Believe it or not wind accounts for 9.2% of the total electrical generation in the U.S. and hydroelectric only 6.3% so it’s not heavily skewed towards hydro.

Another misrepresentation of commentary Five. It is a team game, and each player contributes to wins and losses. That said, a QB by himself is not capable of winning any game. He CAN however make a difference in the teams ability to win by doing his job very well. Without a QB capable of producing lots of yards and lots of TD’s you’re going to have lots of losses.

I want to throw something out there – I don’t think the person is disgusting (any more than any of us sinners are), and I don’t mean to say that’s what you’re saying, I just want to be clear.

Indulging people’s fantasies to the point of harm is not loving them. It’s standing by and allowing them to hurt themselves. That said, adults are free to do to themselves just about anything, and as a partial libertarian I can see the value in that, but when children are impacted directly and indirectly and athletes are treated unfairly, that’s a problem.

What I mean when I say disgusting is we play this game that catering to the fantasies of these people is ok, and should be encouraged because of their “bravery”

In reality they are sick and we aren’t helping them but causing more harm.

Children are off limits and it’s horrible what they’re doingZ. especially when I can’t take my 4 year old to the strip club with me on 2 for 1 Tuesday.

In all seriousness… they need help and we’re doing a disservice by telling them everything is ok and putting up a rainbow than actually trying to treat the illness.

I’m pleased to say my wife has come around to the notion of the new shop. Was not an easy sell back in February and I heard a lot of “you weren’t going to let it go so I finally gave in, your wants are never ending” after the fact. Just last night she said “I will say you were right for wanting the shop built as it will be nice to get some of these cars and stuff out of the shop (our 40×40 shop in the 40×60 shouse) and storage containers”.

One of the 40′ shipping containers is pretty full with all of the residual furniture etc we kept. I can gingerly climb over furniture to get to some things but basically I can’t start emptying it until I have a place to put my workbench tools etc…

Back in February committing to the build was a bit of a leap of faith, but as far as I can see building costs will not go down any time soon. Housing is booming in the Montana cities.

Basically I am on the hook for the site prep (bought and paid for), concrete and rebar (bought and paid for), the overhead door (on order), and the building itself including labor, with the latter ~120 after adding on thermotape, catch basin and a few other niceties. I will have MDU put in a second gas meter and then do the wiring and mounting of heaters myself.

Basically when you are going to transition from a 5500 sqft home to a 8×40 shipping container you downsize a lot. I highly recommend it.

Depends on what you are talking about. Some items lend themselves to being deflationary but building supplies…hope so but I’m not willing to wait it out for ten years while my stuff sits in a shipping container.

It’s an age-old question. When dealing with God, one is dealing with infinity in all aspects of his nature: knowledge, power, presence, love, justice, etc. and patience. Who can grasp the infinite? There is always a plan, but it is often measured beyond human lifetimes.

Consider the Canaanites. God eventually used the Israelites on them as his instrument of justice, but it took time. One of the reasons the Israelites were in captivity in Egypt for four generations was the “iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full.” Once it was full, bam… that was it for the Canaanites.

They were some really nasty people. They were like the Eloi from the Time Machine sitting around eating fruit at all. They figure one of the reasons God said to even kill their animals was because you don’t want to keep animals around used to having sex with people.

I think the Wally Street focused on the ones that had already been restored and cost a couple million for a unit, where you don’t even get the whole thing, but it’s divvied into 5 units.

I don’t have the cash, but it might come in handy for the folks who don’t want to be bothered by looters in this upcoming depression.

Yep.
Part of it is the cost.
But the other part IMO is during the pandemic the supply stopped.
Then they overproduced to counter and now, overstock.

Great song, great album. I grew up on top 40, country and classical and still listen to most genres, but the first time I heard heavy metal, something clicked in my brain. That stuff was my jam. Eventually, I settled on Megadeth as “my” band. Not sure why. They are just in tune with my biorhythms, I guess.

Fun concert. I had never heard In Flames and Trivium before, but they had some songs I liked, despite the fact I don’t like growling/screaming vocals. Lamb of God also played and they are 100 percent screaming/growling. Not my cup of tea, but they put on great live show.

If people have a chance to see “their” band, they should definitely consider the VIP package. I’m not going to say they aren’t stealing your money — because they are — but for me, it was worth it. The music has been a soundtrack to my life at various points. For $363, I got to have Dave Mustaine speak to me and see the rest of the band in person. I got a swag bag with some stuff in it, a T-shirt, special seating, an autographed set list and a group photo with the band (photo was bad, though).

Heck, T-shirts are like $40 by themselves at a concert.

Loved every minute of it, and I am practically agoraphobic! I hope I can do it again before Mustaine retires.
