I contend that the Earth is flat and I posted a video that the sheople will likely not have the guts to watch because they can't see the truth. Just you wait - one come a day you will all have your minds blown - but by then it will be too late.

Flat Earth or any other nonsense has nothing to do with the Vikings and the vaccine.

Your funny though. Maybe too funny.....

Here's my hit from SportsCenter on what Kirk Cousins said following his 5 day stint on the COVID-19/reserve list what he'll do to protect against winding up back on that list - like putting Plexiglas around his seat in the meeting room - .



Maybe they could put one of them "Plexiglas" thingys around him on the field during games & give him better protection for more time to find his receivers. Might be a little hard to maneuver during rollout plays but he would probably be at peace with himself.




Plus the plexiglass doesn't protect against aerosol transmission, the most important mode. Ventilation matters much more.

Do you think there would be a policy change?
This is going to be interesting to see this play out.
Can and will unvaccinated players file a lawsuit against the league if they feel unfairly discriminated against to the point of loss of work and or pay?
I wonder what data would come out in a court case like that if it went to trial.

NFL owners may find this out the hard way.
If games are shut down due to the COVID policy how many fans will be alienated and leave the sport?
Can the NFL handle another loss in viewership?

Maybe only if they get a liberal judge that is blinded by his ideals and doesn’t follow the rule of law.
There are some interesting court cases popping up. Research a case that recently went to the courts in Alberta Canada. Interesting data in that case.

Will your ideology prevent you from exploring behind the curtain?

I see a few have without going down the political agenda route.

Good job Brad. I don't always agree with your analysis, but I respect your opinions.

Yet you want to retort on this forum.

Want to talk impolitically Biased Vikings football?

What is your thoughts on the oline? Do you think they have done enough to close the gaps this year?

Lynn, can you put the troll out to pasture or do we all need to bail on the site and leave him babbling to himself in his basement?

Status: offline 		I would like to say that I would feel sorry for Mike Zimmer...as he is coaching for his job and some of his players out of selfishness are putting that job in jeopardy.

Except I can't. A great leader and great coach would convince these players to understand that the team is more important than their personal beliefs and if those players are going to put the team in jeopardy, then they don't belong in purple. If he can't convince the players of this then he is not a good leader and should be gone too.

Zimmer can go.

I will still root for this team, but have little faith they will succeed this year with so many selfish players and a coach that can't get them to see this.

We are, imho, doomed.

Funny how that works. All I’ve wanted to see and talk about is Vikings football, but many of you don’t get that.

Talking about Vikings football is supposed to be a release from all of what is ailing our country.

According to Fantasy Index, the Vikings have the No. 29 rated offensive line. They have Christian Darrisaw and Dakota Dozier both rated as "Definitely Below Average", Garrett Bradbury as "Above Average", Ezra Cleveland as "Probably Below Average" and Brian O'Neill as "Average".

For what that's worth.

According to the magazine, "no team is spending less on its five starters than Minnesota, and it shows."

I don't think it is worth much.

Darrisaw hasn't played a down.
Bradbury isn't above average at this point.
O'Neill is above average.
Cleveland is TBD.

They got Dozier right.

I have the same thoughts Mark. They lost me as soon as they said Bradbury is above average. Darrisaw has yet to play a snap, yet he is definitely below average.

You want to talk politics?

There is an entire series of political forums on this site, including one specifically on the Corona Virus. You can make all your arguments there.

If all you wanted to talk about is Vikings football, then you wouldn't be posting links to ultraconservative pundit blog sites in the football forums.

Bring your politics to where they belong.

Talk about football here. and leave your political website links where they belong.

Bradbury's play may very well have been terrible simply because the guys immediately on either side of him were such garbage that he couldn't look good.

We haven't had a good Guard on this team really since Steve Hutchinson.

it is my hope (and that's all I've got to go on here) that Wyatt Davis is up to the task and can make Dakota Dozier immediately expendable and Ezra Cleveland continues to grow.

Darrisaw cannot be graded as an NFL player yet. It's that simple...so again i can only hope that he is about as good as we got from Reilly Reiff which is a somewhat tall order as he was our best Olineman last year.

O'Neill is pretty good.

Darrisaw has just returned to practice.

I expect Cleveland has worked on his strength and will benefit from moving to the left side. I read an interview with him, where he said moving from the left to the right side was a lot harder than moving from tackle to guard.

Udoh is splitting reps with Dozier on the right side and that is at least encouraging.

Maybe YOU should just talk Vikings too.

Now, what do you think about the upgrades to the D-line?

Status: offline 		I'm excited about Udoh. I want to see what he can do in preseason. He has great athleticism. I worry about the position change, but he is reportedly very intelligent and well spoken about the transition. He is an easy guy to root for.
Bradberry scares me though. I don’t like what I have seen from him up to this point.
