It’s NFL game day, 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. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!
This should be a fun and relaxing Sunday for football, with none of the heart-attack-inducing drama in which this 2022 Minnesota Vikings team specializes. The game that impacts our beloved Vikings the most will be the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Eagles and Packers. It benefits the Vikings if the Eagles lose, but there isn’t a snowball’s chance in the pit of hades that I’ll root for either team to win. Most of us hope the Packers lose, as always, but I can be okay with it if the Eagles lose, too. Enjoy the day, folks, and join in the conversation as we enjoy watching most of the rest of the NFL play football!
Minnesota Vikings News:
From NFL.com, Justin Fields is inactive today with an injury, and Trevor Siemian will get the start for DaBears.
Video of the Day:
Here’s my favorite Christmas song, this is the great Robert Earl Keen with Merry Christmas from the Family. Enjoy!
See ya tomorrow.
Turn off the lights, the party’s over.
one of Journey’s greatest (and most underrated) songs.
NDSU guy going to win this game yet. Unreal. This Eagles defense is flawed, they’re being exposed more as the season wears on.
Pack dead
Just when you think so, the stupid KR almost runs one back.
Iggles kicker just nailed a 54 yarder to put them up by 10. Wow. Balls of steel. Joseph would have missed it by so far, it would have knocked over a cheerleader.
Speaking of cheerleaders. Now I’ve got a Ukrainian Dating site pop up ad. What kind of show r u running here?
lol
Brad’s Whore House in ND?
I think ads are usually based on your browsing history.
I tried to warn him about all that pron.
Dude, I swear. I’ve never searched “pron” in my life.
Sure…blame it on the user. You’re so corporate.
LOL
Maybe your wife is trying to give you a hint.
My wife’s not really a hinter. She either expects me to read her mind or she tells me exactly what she’s thinking. There’s no in between.
: )
I hope this doesn’t go to overtime. I’m getting tired.
Me too. I’ll have to find out who won in the morning. Way past my bedtime.
Hurts almost got hurt, got up a bit slow.
Clay Walker looks different than he did back when he sang country music.
What was the over/under on this game? I assume they blasted past it long ago.
The NDSU guy might beat the Iggles yet.
Glad to see that they pointed out the next QB taken after Jordan Love was Jalen Hurts.
That would have sucked.
Oh shit. One score game.
Rogers sure knows how to make it known that he is experiencing pain.
This time when I came back into the thread, I got a full page Ashley ad. I’m on my tablet.
Ashley? Is that a dating site or the furniture company?
Furniture. I probably got that ad because I live about an half hour from their corporate office and main plant.
or the spies at Google are sending them to you because you looked for furniture or talked about furniture.
Google is evil.
Very. I avoid their products for my own use. For ads, they’re the most efficient outlet to use.
That’s weird because I got the “Assley” ad and it wasn’t about furniture.
LOL
Was that the name of the Asian site?
No. It was a different one but I’ve always been a babe magnet.
I have to admit, I was hoping for a Packer’s win (really an Eagles loss) because we’ve got the division locked up and playoff seed is more important. But, although that won’t happen, three good things about tonight:
Plus, if you lose your job, you know where you can make $90 an hour.
Which is about 1% of what MT charges.
Jannifer is my hero.
So how soon will Rodgers go on ir?
Once they’re eliminated from the playoffs, IMO.
Well eagles gonna win. Pack deadddddddd
Stick a fork in ’em. Alexander now hurt……….again. Classless crowd booing him as he walks off the field.
Once they’re eliminated from the playoffs, I’ll hope they win again, just so they get the worst draft pick possible. FTP.
Peckers can’t stop Hurts, this one is over. Really shitty run defense, I hope Cook goes for 295 yards against them.
Bruce Springsteen sucks.
Random but Ok
He sang a song on TV last night on a show my wife was watching. I’m still annoyed, I don’t care for him very much. Overrated. I don’t like the Beatles either, they get on my nerves.
GMTA
Breaking news:
Aaron Rodgers, a true American hero, plays despite a broken thumb, broken ribs, no heart, an over-developed ego and a family that hates him.
Right? Listening to Collinsworth, you’d think he’s playing with a fractured femur.
That’s the biggest issue: listening to Collinsworth.
I know, so horrible. I was at a meeting until a half hour ago, so I missed much of the game. I muted it shortly after I got home, a guy can only take so much.
Plus he’s brave for having a man bun.
Rogers is super tough for playing through his ouchy.
My connection refreshed and the Asian lady ad came up again. I tried to copy/paste it in a post to Rob, and I ended up clicking the link.
If my wife checks my internet history, I need you guys to back me up that it was a joke.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
(For 1000 Skoloholic bucks I’ll remember that it is a joke.)
I miss Paula (> Jannifer).
Great minds. I just responded to Rob that I miss Paula.
Pack down 7 at half. We can’t rely on them. They suck
watching the packer D is making me feel slightly less nauseated about the prospects of watching the Vikings D next week. At least we were supposed to suck
Vikes are legit. Don’t worry. We’re gonna splash in playoffs
^^^this
I’m gonna own Jannifer one sec
She’s dead for 3 hours now. Brad working with Dev and IP bans on bots. We’ll see
reply fail…
did
Lol
I miss Paula.
you guys complain about ads and I haven’t seen one yet. I have an ad blocker on my phone.
I support ads on here too 😬
Who’s complaining? The Asian Dating ad included a hot pic. And she seemed to be looking right at me.
And the subsequent luxury yacht ad gave me and my new Asian bride a great honeymoon option.
Wait, I didn’t get the luxury yacht offer
Don’t worry…I’m sure there’s a redneck houseboat ad in the queue.
That was quick. You must have eloped.
Damnit…I didn’t see this before my post above. You win.
Reply fail?
Definitely
I only got an electric bike commercial.
I guess the site caters to your subconscious needs.
Ads on mobile are a bit much, I’ve sent the devs a message, but it’ll be tomorrow until they do anything, most likely.
On my tablet all I have is the Foco ad.
Oh, good to know. That one isn’t bad, it’s at the bottom so doesn’t interrupt viewing.
Actually I have a Foco ad just before the comments and on the bottom. It is not very disruptive versus the ads on my phone that take over the whole screen.
Those piss me off on the phone. I might need an ad blocker.
Run on Eagles and they’re beatable
She’s baaaaack!!!
Goose is sleeping the sleep of a 9-2 football team. Also the sleep of a puppy who got a special skirt steak and carrot supper….
The one thing I won’t miss when football season is over is tv ads. I rarely watch live tv outside of football season.
Did Joseph kick that?
No one can make an extra point.
Said Greg Joseph…
Turnover fest.
The NFL Media:
PICKED AGAIN!!
FTP
Oops.
snicker.
I know it’s exciting to have a running quarterback, but so many of them get hurt and have a short shelf life.
Lots of chest and helmet pats with that “broken thumb”.
Packers scored more points against the eagles than the Vikings.
they Are obviously better.
-5
Said Kodiak/five…
The Eagles suck.
Maybe they have a chance.
Maybe the Packers will make this interesting. I’m still cheering for the meteor.
There’s an Asian Dating site ad on this page. It’s almost like Brad knows my weakness.
Lol or your internet algos direct the ads tuned to you.
They’d have to be able to read my thoughts because I’m too afraid to click on anything like that.
: )
How does one get this ad?
asking for a friend
I think it has something to do with pron.
Or General Tso
I refreshed and it’s now an Emerald Luxury Cruise Lines ad. If the other ad comes up again, I’ll post the link for you.
in the meantime, it looks like my Asian babe and I are cruising!
I just refreshed again and it’s an ad for “small male organs”. I’m assuming it’s for Rob.
Females can have those too
if they’re dating five?
Ok…
over to acme
Puke fans not doing well, Erin will be turning 39. They actually think he has trade value.
lolol
Loser
He threw a shitty pass. He’s gonna bomb, he won’t be in the league for very long.
Rogers just threw an INT
SKOL FTP
Go pack. I want first seed. I care about Vikes today not next year
Good evening
Fuck the Packers and Eagles
I second this.
Fuck them both.
Preach! This would be a good time for a meteor.
I’m here for team meteor
^^This^^
Cordell Beckman Jr. escorted off a plane by the police this morning. Doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but not a good look when you want a team to sign you.
