Just joking based on you saying you "had to sneak in." Didn't mean to discount any health issues; my apologies.

I also think everyone should be eligible for boosters at this point like they can here in California, but that varies by state.

My wife has chronic asthma.. so she has been nagging me to get the booster..

I kept telling her I wasn’t old enough.. but just by a few months..

Mt doctor said basically the same, but the googled the qualifying underlying conditions, and decided he would use the fact that I had a stent and arteriosclerosis as a qualifying reason to get it 7 months early..

Rams sign OBJ.

All-in I think is the term. Meanwhile the Vikings GM thinks he is cool stockpiling 6th and 7th rounders and drafting kickers and punters.



When I saw the news break, the first thing that popped into my head was, we need to look at the Rams as a possible front office we could snip a future GM from.

It's not just this year, Snead has a track record of being aggressive.

Yeah. They do a good job of trading for talented guys and don't get into cap trouble.

But, is it a coincidence that the Browns lit it up after releasing OBJ? Rams have a pretty talented WR group and now you bring in OBJ and his family who love to complain if he doesn't get the ball. Time will tell.

Exactly Mark. I think it's an insignificant signing


Maybe not.

Schefter:
On the same day that the team signed WR Odell Beckham Jr., Rams’ WR Robert Woods tore his ACL at practice Friday, sources tell @diannaESPN and me.

Pierce has practiced once — Nov. 3 — in the past five weeks, and was set to miss his fifth game in a row on Sunday against the Chargers due to a lingering elbow injury. He first injured his elbow and shoulder during a Sept. 30 practice and tried to play through it in the Oct. 3 loss to Cleveland before exiting in the first half.

The Vikings promoted safety Myles Dorn and cornerback Tye Smith from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements. Safety Harrison Smith has already been ruled out while on the COVID list, and cornerback Bashaud Breeland (groin) is listed questionable to play against the Chargers.

Pierce has played in four games since signing a three-year, $27 million deal with the Vikings in 2020 free agency. He opted out in 2020, citing asthma that puts him at a heightened risk of complications from COVID-19.

Only the Chargers are allowing more yards per carry than the Vikings defense, which without Pierce has struggled to break through and tackle opponents for losses. They're currently giving up more per rush (4.8 yards) than last year's porous defense (4.6).

We'll have to score 40 to be in this game.

#Vikings OL Dakota Dozier has been released from the hospital after a bout with COVID-19, source said.

Dozier, who is fully vaccinated, was admitted Tuesday night after experiencing breathing issues. I’m told he’s feeling much better.

I thought Pierce looked exceptional the first two games recording 2.5 sacks.

Was that said with any tongue and cheek?

Painfully obtuse if not.

These bozos over complicate this shit all the time. Of course you want to target...hit a 'ratio'...to your super talents. Any attempts to use them as decoys being so super smart is a fireable offense.


I liked the looks of JJ's targets. A lot of them (prior)looked lobby or cutesy. They were strong today.

If we can get as good of a win next week. I'll have to be fully back on the playoff bandwagon. Chip and a chair if we get there.

Kinda feels like it'll play out where they do juuuust enough to erase any blowing of things up.

Turns out we only needed 27.

But missing by 13 isn't much...

It looked like a dumb move the .1 nano-second after he finished signing the last 'h' in his name.

Other than Breeland, defense played well against a very good offense.

Since Zimmer is the one person NOT capable of comprehending what is going on, I find it ironic that he is tongue and cheek about it.

He doesn't realize that Kubiak may have just jumped out of the primordial Zimmer coaching ooze, from a single-celled run-only bacteria to a complex run-and-pass land mammal.

I suppose his days are numbered now.

Even so, you shouldn't have to pin a note to your shirt – before every game – to remember that targeting Jefferson is good.
