I have a parking pass for the seahawks game. Its located right next to the stadium, with an attached bridge to it.

$20. PM Me..

I didn't get the impression that David was selling anything. You are, and even if it's the best deal in the world, is this really the place to do that?

I say, don't sell shit in here. Slippery slope.

BTW, good to see you back. I was hopeful you might have some Viking knowledge/opinion to share. Be better.

I've occassionally mentioned parking passes for three years. So, this isnt anything new. I made a post and if someone reaches out, they do. If not, thts fine too.

I've put in enough blood, sweat and tears on this site to mention a hugely discounted parking pass for one of our peeps on here to use. Sorry you were offended .

Wasn't offended at all. Just seems like we should have a separate thread for selling shit.

It seems that Elflein is making the transition to guard very well. The rookie Samia seems to be struggling. I'm sure that the team will keep him on the roster, but I bet he is one of the game day inactives. Also, I have not been overwhelmed with what I've seen in from our rookie tight end. He's young and the team will definitely keep him on the roster, but he could also be inactive on game days. On the other hand, Bradbury seems like the real deal and Oli Udoh may have been the steal of our draft.

I hope this comes to fruition and we don't have to include picks (though I would be willing). Getting ANYTHING for him would be a steal.

Sorry Bruce, bit of a long day.

Good find - good info. Makes me feel cautiously optimistic about the line. We might actually have players picked up that we cut or try and stash on the practice squad.

Still high on Samia - Might take a year to add the strength and technique. I don't mind misses as long as he's showing flashes, which from all I've read, he appears to be. As long as Kline is average, we can wait on Samia till next year.

Love, love the early reports on Udoh, was excited after we drafted him and I read up on him. RTOTF? His dimensions/athletic profile make me super excited. Might be replacing Collins as my RT of the future choice.

Would it be worth a seventh rounder to entice a team to take Treadwell off our books? We would only save just over a mil. I am thinking that the team wants to keep extra linebackers for special teams purposes. Maybe the Vikings should keep only four receivers and maybe keep two on the practice squad.

Wow. Video of Kaare Vedvik in High School kicking several field goals of 50 up to 63 yards right footed and then kicking some left footed.

He was doing it in windy conditions...you can hear the wind in the background.

Maybe the Vikings will not need a punter. He can score from anywhere on the field.

I thought I remembered Ian giving away prizes for contests in here Pete?

Not sure him making a couple parking passes available for a toll is that big a deal?

Understand not making this a flea market for sure though.

There was a separate thread for the prizes and draft stuff. That was nice of Ian. I never participated but I appreciated what he did, and where he did it.

I have a townhouse in Eden Prairie for rent, in a Viking community, should I pitch that here?

Make a thread for selling shit is all I'm saying.

Nobody will give up a pick to take a flyer on Treadwell with that salary. If anyone is interested they'll wait until he's cut.

I haven't read article yet. But I have read other positive reports about Oli Udoh. He was initially destined for the PS but sounds like he will make the 53. Not cuz were afraid he would get poached but cuz he is beating other guys out.

Proposal, because I like everyone involved here:

In this thread, only Vikings stuff and only for face value or less. We want our folks to get first crack at tix, passes, gear we can't use, but no gouging.

I don't live in Minnesota any longer, but if I did I would want to see Vikings tickets and related stuff listed here by bonafide members. I wouldn't be interested in seeing somebody making a business out of it.

Watching the defensive tackles in the Saints game, one thing I still struggle with is wondering why the Vikings are asking Jaleel Johnson to be the backup NT. There are many examples from the game of him lacking strength at the point of attack against double teams. https://t.co/HIPtQ2REUD. (Matt Fries on Twitter)

I don't know why anyone would send an asset to the Vikings for a player they know the Vikings will cut.

Pro Football Weekly has confirmed that Bears weren’t just in on Kaare Vedvik trade talks with Ravens, they were the most aggressive of 5 teams before Vikings outbid them.
