How About Them.........

[Wind Gypsy]

No one that I know wants to hear athletes playing a game for way too much money give an opinion on anything. Came to watch the clowns juggle. Just juggle clown, just juggle.

Thing is I cant recall a time when watching a football game that there has been a political comment made by a player. So it's pretty easy to "watch the clowns juggle" and not have to suffer through listening to their political opinions.

I get not wanting to support some of these big leagues based on their embracement of the woke but I'd have to pay attention to what the media is saying away from the games to have a clue about it.

The politics part you might only hear in the media. Guess I'm just not too fond of these high dollar game players influencing some peoples decisions in life. One that comes to mind is the FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE that took a lot of money from a lot of people and NO I was not one of them before anyone tries playing that angle. I don't follow what anyone else says, I make my own decisions. If people don't agree with me that's fine. I don't really care.

Vikes were very fun to watch for 3rd week in a row. What's happening?!

Nice buildup for a week 4 clash with the packers! Going to be a grind to win the NFC North this year. It does bring me some joy to see the bears underperforming expectations so much!

If Allison, Hockenson, Pace jr, and Turner get healthy without other significant injuries taking their place (fat chance).. watch out!

This is one of the few times I have watched a Vikings game......and did not have to worry in the 4th quarter. They owned Houston.

ANTI-AMERICAN. Nice try

Is being anti 1st Amendment now considered pro-American? I don't follow your bread crumbs.

My stance is simple - ball players, Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, Caitlyn Clark, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, and even Jsasker007 have a right to say whatever they want to. It would be anti-American for me to tell them to shut up or take the stance they should be silenced because I don't agree.

Great to hear.

Dems do like to twist words and take them out of context I will say that if I'm still allowed to speak.

Vikings have been solid on both sides for a change. Kicker looks great. Coach is one of the best out there. Could be the year!

28 - nothing! before the half! SKOL!

How bout em! They are have been looking like the best team in the league through 3.5 weeks.

 

[Foggy47]

SKOL! (phew!)

 

[jsasker007]

4-0!

Watched the Vikings in my hometown bar with Vikes legend Chuck Forensn signing autographs and my wife won the Autographed Jersey !

SKOL!

 

[jsasker007]

That's awesome

I'm seeing a bit of a pattern develop.....where the Vikings run up a good lead......and then go flat or play prevent defense. Hope KOC recognizes this fault and address some changes to the game plans. Still, the Vikings have a solid team and I think the predictions in the video may be pretty close. (how's that?). How 'bout them Gopher's too?

I had thought the TV coverage of NFL games was gonna be bad this year.......but they are spreading top games over lots of days on network TV and so far the game coverage has been pretty good (tho some of those announcers suck).

EDIT: SKOL!

Would have liked to see the Vikes try to milk the clock by running a bit more but maybe they didn't feel very confident without our main man in the backfield. A win is a win.

When Jones got hurt, they lost the momentum!

Vikings have started 5-0 and missed the playoffs twice since 2003.. They have been too good thus far to think that is likely but injuries could turn the tide in a hurry.

Gophers game was a riot too! Being an NDSU alumn, I tend to spend a lot of time bagging on how the gophs program underperforms but it is fun to see them win some big games. Going to be a lot more interesting games in the BIG 10 with the addition of Washington, Oregon, USC, and Nebraska not sucking anymore. Illinois and Indiana have solid squads this year too.

Fleck needs to calm the hell down on the sidelines. He was a lunatic at the end of the game. That could have cost them

Reminds me of this hilarious bit "would you put those teeth away!"
