Protest where no one can see you?

We get it. You only want change if its easy and doesn't get in your way.

Colin Kaepernick has 2.4 million Twitter followers. I am sure he can find a way to be seen without protesting at his workplace.

So only protest to the people that want to see it?

Keep digging that hole.

No one has a First Amendment right to protest at work.

That is not a hole, but a fact.

And yet its allowed by their bosses - and you still have a problem with it.

We get it. You're all for change. Just as long as you don't have to see it happen or be affected by it in any way.

You and KG should start a club.

Oh I think there are clubs already in existence that would be a great fit for them. No need to start a new one.

Yeah I should join the KKK right DF. Or how about the Nazi Party. I'm a huge supporter of both of those.
That was sarcasm in case you didn't figure it out.
I'm the most anti racist Native American, Caucasian and Asian mixed person who's married to an Asian who's lived in the inner city of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, who has best friends of all races and ethnicity that you will ever meet. I've fought racism in my own life by accepting persons of all ethnicity. I've dated White, Black, Native, and Asian. The people Brad refers to as "THEM" I refer to as "US".

"Best" is singular, so you can only have one best friend.

Yours, apparently, is Neopolitan.

LOGIC!!!!!!!!!!

Failed logic. A person can only have one best friend, but a person can have 100 best friends. Those would be that person's 100 favorite friends. I know logic. You don't so stop trying. How about stop being a hateful jerk that wants to spread your hatefulness to everybody.

Hey you have repeatedly shown that you do not know logic. The only way that you can have more than one best friend is all of those best friends are exactly tied in best friend rating. And as best friend rating is inherently non-discrete, the only way that 2 or more individuals can be equivalent in best friend rating is if they are actual clones of each other.

ou don't like the fact that this is a part of Vikings talk these days doesn't mean that it's not. This started because I suggested Kap as backup QB and Bruce made it political.

Politics aside, our backup QB spot could be upgraded, but upgrading it with a player that missed camp and has not played in the NFL since 2016? That sounds kind of crazy to me.

Had we brought him in before camp? That would have been a different story. I would still be a Vikings fan though even if we did. Probably would not buy hiss jersey though.

And I think Mark's point that he may want more money than we can give him is germane. I think he could quickly surpass the current crop, though.

This is not a logic other people know, though:

"A person can only have one best friend, but a person can have 100 best friends."

One and one-hundred are not the same.

I thought the capitalization discussion was a new low, but you guys are trying for another one.

For the record, the opinion seems to be split on the Internet whether you can have more than one best friend.

https://www.google.com/search?q=can+you+have+more+than+one+best+friend&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS806US806&oq=can+you+have+more+than+one+best+firend&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.9239j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

He may have been able to surpass them , but I would have preferred it to be in a full training camp. The money thing could be an issue also.

There is always the issue of whether you should have backup QB that is a different style QB than your starter. You would want to call different plays with Colin than Mannion.

I think we should try and draft a QB higher next year if we are not excited about Browning or Staley, and it does not appear that we are, because QB is by far the most important position and if you can have a potentially great QB in the wings, you have some great options.

Capitalization offended you? So fragile.

This comes from someone who is offended by just about anything said, peaceful protests, silent kneeling, you name it. Typical.

Well, wrap yourself in the "Anthem" and enjoy.

And order everyone their t-shirts!

OK, since people keep responding to me. I will respond as well.

I thought national anthem was capitalized, but I was wrong. Star Spangled Banner is capitalized though so whatever point you were trying to make was kind of flimsy.

https://adebayothevoice.com/qa/do-you-capitalize-the-national-anthem.html

And I think it is funny that you and others try and mock my t-shirt idea when "Black Lives Matter" t-shirts are being worn to share a message and the NBA has similar messages on their jerseys.

Wearing messages on your clothing is not some crazy lame idea I dreamt up.

Fortunately, the movement afoot recognizes messages and slogans on t-shirts are not enough.

Star Spangled Banner is capitalized. Whoopee. And not part of the conversation.

Restructuring is a waste. I imagine it will be a Griffith situation; pay cut and opt out. Why would Reiff agree to this? Next year the market might be brutal for veterans and it will only save us a few million this year.

If Oneil and Udoh are our Ts, we still have tons of depth in Hill, Ezra, and even Collins and Dozier.

I think Bill proposed the lineup I would go with:

Hill/Ezra, Best of the rest, Bradbury, Udoh, Oneil.

We still have a ton of line flexibility. In the above - I'd also cut Elf, but that's never gonna happen.

I prefer from left to right

O'Neal
Clev
Bradbury
Anybody but Elf
Udoh

I think Reiff isn't effective at Guard; thus the problem.

I think Reiff just isn't that good, period. The amount of roll outs last year had some to do with Cousins' effectiveness on roll outs and some on buying time by rolling away from Reiff.

I think we're going to see a LOT more misdirection and pre-snap movement. More Shanahan style - which will help a ton.

Please. As you were told, the grown-ups are talking. You can't handle the truth. I found no disrespect with Kap. Not surprised you did, that's on YOU. Maybe when the Vikings kneel you too will bail. One can only hope.

Wrong. It's so simple and you still don't get it. A person can only have one best friend because friend is singular. However, a person can have an unlimited amount of best FRIENDS because FRIENDS is plural. I could name off my five best friends or I could name off my 1000 best friends. Take a logic class and try again.

With O'Neill, Udoh, Hill and Ezra we could survive at Tackle without him.

At this point, we may well be better off cutting Reiff and picking up a Guard that becomes available.

OK, I do not understand why we did not pick up another Guard sooner, but, hey, what do I know?

Bill what am I supposed to do. Let them shout the loudest and go into hiding. I did that on the COVID thread. I get sick of them always thinking they won because they were the nastiest and the loudest. The hatred coming from that group of people is almost unbelievable. They might be civil for a brief while, but they always go back to their hateful shouting and incredible nastiness.
