How about we don't attack Scott. To some this talk is traumatic. We don't know his experience. Show sensitivity both ways.

How about stfu for once.

Few things have been more deserving of a call out.



OK, So it's ok to attack me for simply pointing out that this is the General Vikings thread.


I am as concerned from Bruce as everyone here but we don't need to hijack this thread for it.

As for people telling me to stfu or get out of here, y'all can KISS MY ASS.

I've been posting here as long as most of you. And deserve that kind of talk as much as none of you.



Oh, so you were simply being an insensitive jackass. No trauma, no poor Scott.

Let it go Bill.

Hey guys. I don't think Bruce is happy with people tearing into each other if he is able to read this.

Nobody needs the last word. Let it go.

If you want to continue to talk through your thoughts on Bruce here, go ahead.

If you want to talk Vikes, talk Vikes.

Leave the rest of it at the curb.

Sorry if my post explaining some of what Bruce MIGHT be going through was out of place. It seemed to me to be a natural progression from the discussion that was going on, and since I have some knowledge specific to someone's question, I thought I'd try to add clarity if possible.

An NFL team is a stadium, a facility, some dozens of people who work for the team, a couple dozen coaching/training personnel, sixty-some to ninety players, and legions of fans, millions and more for every team. If one of those fans in a team fan forum like this one has an impact in their lives like Bruce has, it certainly has a place in the general forum. My post was about Bruce, not about COVID-19 Coronavirus resulting in mechanical ventilation. And if that spills over into a little too much clinical talk for you, scroll the fukk down. If a Vikings fan has issues with scrolling that are so immense that it causes catastrophic levels of angst and frustration, then I guess we can talk about that in here, too. Like we just have.

Get well, Bruce.

Calm yourself, Scott.

Exactly. It's about Bruce.
Hoping to hear something positive soon.

I much appreciated your post.

We have a lot of posters that don't go to the Politics threads (or at least don't post there). So, IMO, this is exactly the thread where we should be talking about one of our own.

Me too. I'm often amazed at the level of knowledge (non-Viking knowledge, in this instance) that various posters have.

It was very good, especially after my two-liner post on the discomfort levels read from a single article a month ago.

Y'all, relax.

I think this would have worked itself out. No need to create new threads and draw lines in the sand.

Is there anybody who knows Bruce personally? Maybe has a contact beyond PM here? I do wish him the best.

People were asking that, then Scott came in with his whirlwind and those questions kind of evaporated.

I hope we find a way to see how he's doing. Bruce is a very kind person. Again, I wish him the best and hope he gets better soon.

Do the mods or whoever have access to an email address from when he registered here? Delicate situation in terms of sending an email to that address though.

Your best bet would be to try Toby. The administrators are the only ones who have that level of access.

I recently crossed paths with Bruce on Twitter, so I found his feed again and it hasn't been updated since Tuesday morning when he posted the same thing he did on here about soon going on a ventilator. I did a search on his wife's name, which is part of his Twitter handle, and found a Facebook page that doesn't contain much for non-friends. I put in a friend request, but obviously she doesn't recognize me as anything but some creepy mofo from Cali who seems to have put in a friend request for no reason. I'll let you guys know if I learn anything from those sources.
