That was no easy task. quote: Good I enjoyed the heck out of my stay at The University of Iowa hospitals for back surgery. Obviously my stay was a lot shorter than yours but I had a gas. I was higher than a kite it seemed like the whole time. And I couldn't keep my mouth shut. Friendly must be a prerequisite for working at a university hospital - how they put up with me and stayed great is something. I loved the food, too. Just get on the phone and order anything you wanted at anytime. - I'm pretty sure at one time I said, "This is great, we ought to do it once a year!"

Upon closer scrutiny of the facts Cook has ZERO leverage and Spielman would be a fool to knuckle under. For Dalvin Cook, the new CBA makes a holdout counterproductive, so he’ll have to end the threat prior to training camp or lose a credited year, which would make him a restricted free agent next year, rather than an unrestricted one. Being a restricted free agent basically means he’ll be stuck with a $3 million deal unless another team gives the Vikings a 2nd round pick to acquire Cook at a higher price, which isn’t very likely. Cook would also be subject to $50,000 fines every day of training camp he misses, meaning if he held out for all of training camp he’d owe the Vikings money for the season. cook could go to training camp and then hold out for the first 10 games though - right?...he accrues a season with only six games played - maybe he'll decide to do that and take less of a chance of injury.... I'm not sure how the new cba reads. You could be right. Cook could just play the first six games with fresh legs. Not sure how he would be viewed by GM's around the league though, bailing on your team.

They tell me it's common for those who were in the tube so long. They tell me they are happy with my physical condition outside of a shoulder issue that will heal in time. I need healing time for my brain, too.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/17/2020 8:02:13 PM)
I took a nap and feel better. I'm not going to let some shrunk define me. I know I have more healing to do.

For those who would like a reminder how good Cook can be. https://youtu.be/3v3fQiiY2LA

Purple for the win Podcast recently ran a bit about Jake Browning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avShxb69AP4 IF he has regained arm strength like Kubiak claims, he would be the obvious choice for Vikings backup QB and a potential starter down the road.
