She's on all the Vikings pregame shows. I don't like her.

I watch on internet broadcast. I never watch the pregame. I already don't like her if she doesn't give a rat's ass about the Vikings.

I got Ludford's response to my question I talked about yesterday:

I’m a fan, but try to be objective.

That's the kind of answers you get on Twitter sometimes, (truncated) but he verified what I had thought. He's kind of like us. I mean, we don't sugar coat everything here. I don't know. Maybe I do. I just defended Spielman for not putting a higher priority on drafting offensive lineman. Maybe I'm a sugar coat guy. If I am, it may be because of my philosophy of thinking that staying positive is a virtue. I better not quit my day job, though.

Kind of hypocritical of her to let the statement "patiently waiting for the Vikings to be in one (a SB)!" ride, wouldn't you agree?

I guess she is very patient, indeed.

More from Ludford about being a fan and a writer on the team:

I think you can still be objective in your analysis, but you have to use objective sources, and not just selective memory.

She looks like a grown up version of the Byrde's daughter in Ozark.

I mentioned that my wife made a face mask with Vikings material. She made another one for her friend, Alexander Mattison's mom and she is so happy to wear it.

She's friends with Mattison's mom. That is cool.

Yeah. She didn't know when she met her. She doesn't like telling everyone who she is. Then one day Sachiko saw her with her son and she could tell he was a professional football player. She had no clue who he was, but she came to me to figure it out.

So getting behind early, then throwing some TDs while the defense is prevent or soft, can lead to decent looking passer ratings, even if it's leading to many losses.

Also playing on Super Bowl caliber teams helps....Kirk hasn't had that luxury.

Football is a team sport. By the way, does the passer rating factor in QB fumbles? Roethlisberger probably doesn't fumble as much as Kirk.

I'm not sure, but I think the passer rating doesn't while the QB rating does.

Interesting. Kirk seems to be getting more heat than he deserves.

Lowest Missed Tackle % among Starting LBs, 2019--

1. Montez Sweat, WAS (2.0%)
2. Dre Greenlaw, SF (2.1%)
3. Anthony Barr, MIN (2.5%)
4. Bobby Okereke, IND (3.0%)
5. Eric Wilson, MIN (3.1%)

(Dustin Baker on Twitter)

I was listening on SkorNorth and they were ripping Barr as overpaid. He may be, but there certainly are more egregious offenders. Rhodes and Waynes, for example.

I have nothing against Barr, but IMO we should have just let him go to the Jets.

Are you ready for the 3-4?

Wilson and Kendricks MLB, Barr and Hunter OLB, Pierce (3-4 needs a fatty NT), Oden, Hercules. Our Front 7 would look really good and Harris/Smith in back.

Capers came in to help.

All signs point to it.

I believe they may incorporate some of that, but I don't expect them to go full time with the 3/4.
