Minnesota Vikings News & Discussion: Weekend Edition

Skyline

It’s the weekend!

I hope y’all are enjoying your weekend. It’s McQuade’s weekend in Bismarck, so I’ll be away from town as much as possible. I WOULD be fishing, but it’s cold & windy with occasional rain today, so I’ll have to find something else to do.

Recent News:

From Forbes, the “predictable” Vikings will have a new look under HC Kevin O’Connell this year.

Over at Vikings.com, Justin Jefferson says he wants to be a hall-of-famer. He’s gotten a good start on that path. Also, Randy Moss teamed up with Disney for the world’s largest swimming lesson.

Video of the Day:

Enjoy some Mr. Bean. I know I will.

That’s all we got, folks. Have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

Couple things…

Ben Franklin said that we would keep the Republic (NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!!) until people figured out that they could vote themselves benefits out of the treasury…

You have the right to pursue happiness… not the right to not be offended or to drown out those people who offend you…

If JFK was alive today, he would be a Republican because that is the party that most closely resembles his views… (go to Mt. Rushmore and listen to any of the recorded speeches if they haven’t changed them… the Dems sound like conservatives.)

Everything has swung too far to the left. Cannot wait for the pendulum to come back to the right… Hopefully the changes take hold before our kids have to suffer too terribly long…

Well at least he isn’t having kids and completely full of hypocrisy.

His premise is illogical and misplaced that “his” tax dollars will pay for a welfare state of kids born in to poverty. Typical conservative garbage speak that’s completely misplaced, inaccurate and intentionally untruthful because they’re lying shit bags that spin untruths.

Yes without open access to abortions there will be more children born in to poverty he and I agree on that. No his tax money won’t be spent taking care of them like he wants to spout bitch piss and moan about. Just like he repeats the BS “large caravan of immigrants” are coming. These shit bags have an issue with 3 things, brown skin people, women and free and fair economies for all, not just whites but everyone no sorry this is ours not yours.

Only 26% of tax revenues go in to the “health” bucket and a very small percentage of that (7% in 2020) goes to Medicaid and welfare and not all of that Medicaid money is directly for child care. Defense budget alone gets 16%+ of the entire tax revenue budget. Corps get huge subsidies and on and on. He’s again making a mountain out of a mole hill to support his racist, misogynistic beliefs.

Entitlement spending totaled 49% of total federal expenditures in fiscal year 2020 and 2021. This is down from 56% in fiscal year 2019 due to increased Coronavirus spending in 2020 and 2021.

Curiosity killed me. Decided to watch the “playoff” game between the Philadelphia Stars and the New Jersey Generals. New Jersey went 9-1 in the regular season. They lost 19-14 and one of their TD’s was on a punt return. Just really bad football. I can see now how Sloter made the “All USFL” team. In 9 games he threw 9 TD’s and 11 interceptions and completed just 57.7% of his passes. Yet he thinks this shows he deserves another shot in the NFL. He’s playing tonight at 8 p.m. I think I’ll watch the first half for shits and grins.

I can understand it…being in control in golf is such a fluid prospect. It comes and goes. I’m currently struggling mightily. Getting back in to golf this year after a decade of playing 4 or 5 rounds or none at all annually my game went from mid 80’s to mid 90’s this Feb-May but June big decline and last week 110 and today 107. Shot 50 on the front side even without being able to get off the tee well no matter if it was driver, 3 wood or iron to a 57 on the back nine with two quads, a triple and only one par. So frustrating when you know what you’re doing wrong but can’t fix it. I was brutally sore in my back and legs from my leg workout Thursday that didn’t help so probably would have played better.

I count everything, no mulligans or improving lies. Only thing I do is if a houses fence is in the way of my swing I’ll take a club length farther away from the hole. Trees or bushes…play it as it lies or take a penalty drop.

Laughing. I play the whites for the most part unless a course is just too big for me. Then I play the senior tees. I can only hit my driver about 200 yards when I hit it decently solid. 215 or so if I smoke it. Hit my three wood about 180 when I hit it good. I do tend to hit the ball pretty straight though and I can draw the ball and fade it. So that helps a lot.

Played a fair amount when younger. My back had a hard time with the torque, too many miles on it. Later i found a great par 3 course that had lengthy holes. I loved hitting irons off the tee cuz i was pretty good with them. Woods? If i hit one straight off the block it was a accident. The 4 some kinda dispersed and l had no interest in a pickup group. Still love watching the majors.

I am blessed to have a group of guys I have played with almost every Sunday for 10 years. Of course the winter causes lapses. We joke about how much farther we used to hit the ball 10 years ago, and how bad our backs, knees, shoulders, etc are these days.

I have decent length…can hit 275-300 yard drives, irons typical distances, 7- 155 to 165, 10 yards + or – up and down the rest. 3 wood 225. What’s been the issue is all the swing changes to improve my distances I’m just not comfortable yet so I push / pull or hit my blades off a tad. I just need more swings.

My swing is so simple I don’t ever go to the range or practice. I go to the first tee cold and just hit the ball. Sometimes the first few swings aren’t good as the oil is still in the pan as they say, but I tend to make solid contact in the center of the club more often than not. I wish I had your length though. I hit my six iron 130 yards.

I hit 250 if some shmuck will loan me their 900 dollar driver made from leftover parts from a carbon-fiber Ferrari or Lambo or MuskRocket, otherwise I hit just over 200 on a good day when my knees, back, shoulders, elbows, groin, and neck doesn’t hurt.

And I can’t believe I’ve never had a real lesson.

All this reminds me of the longest golf shot of my life, which I will share, because memories make me smile sometimes.

I am a natural slicer and erratic with drivers. We were playing in a best-ball tournament on an 18-hole course. One of the holes has a dog leg that naturally follows my slice. Next, the outside of the fairway had a fairly steep bank. Another thing in my favor: major drought year, so the ground was like concrete. Finally, one of my partners had a premium driver. He told me to try it out.

I caught that ball perfectly. It followed the outer edge of the dog leg, eventually hit the bank and ran forever.

Still not pro-level distance, but it was glorious.

I love those shots that just work with your shot shape. As with golf many factors have to happen, decent piece of equipment, solid contact, uber confidence the required shot fits your swing..”hey I got this this shot in my bag”. You step up and execute with a clear mind with no doubts. That’s what makes golf the ultimate sport.

Sorry LFA, Kirk has the most 40+ yard TD passes in the league since becoming a starter in 2015, and he set the record on ball speed with a radar gun in the 2012 combine. He has plenty of arm.

Facts and all.

Been thinking that with all of the injuries and misadventures on the defense last year, they have upgraded most of the positions. In most cases significantly. Z Smith and Hunter being the largest additions.

Add the new scheme with these and it should be much better if they stay healthy.

So many close games last year… this could get REALLY fun to watch!
