I like and can shoot my Ruger Commander .45 (1911 frame) with iron sights more accurately than I can shoot my 9mm H&K VP9. Not sure what going price is now on the Commander. I know people that had Kimbers and loved them and others that hated them and sold them.
The Vikings have played in 4 NFC championships in my lifetime.
I can recall 1998, 2000, 2010, and 2018.
Yes they did lose all four.
So what you’re saying is the Vikings are a 4 time loser instead of being a 1 time loser? That sounds soooooo much better, LOL. 
He was made into the Pro Bowl multi-millionaire player he was in college here, so good chance we can fix what you guys broke. Again.

You mean like real superstars like JJ and TJ Watt were at Wisconsin? How are the Vikings gonna fix him, you haven’t won anything yet in you whole NFL franchise history, and that’s not gonna change anytime soon. LOL. 
Couple years in Green Bay will make a guy want to quit, I can understand that. Well that and the $40 million he made in his career.
I’m sure the Vikings will sign him, seeing how they like to sign all of the Packers castoffs. 
See DeVondre Campbell made the news again. Sounds like last season wasn’t a fluke. Embarrassing for how much these guys get to play the game and then quit on the team. Campbell surely has some issues and now will probably be out of football. What team would take a chance on a roster spot for him.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refused to enter the game when Kyle Shanahan attempted to put him in on Thursday night, Shanahan said. Campbell instead went to the locker room.
The incident happened in the third quarter. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw went down, and Shanahan attempted to put in Campbell to replace him, but the veteran refused. “He said he didn’t want to play today,” Shanahan said.
I’m much like riverbassman. I have my UHD93sv mounted on the console in my boat with the black box mounted on the inside of the console. I bought extra power cable and network cable and base for my Livescope setup for my ice fishing shuttle, that way you don’t need to remove and rerun all the cables in the boat when I reinstall in the spring. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to switch from the boat to the shuttle or to go from the shuttle to the boat.
I lived in AK for 15 years and most of the guys I worked with, including myself, the 10mm was the caliber of choice if they carried when fishing. IMHO the 10mm has better ballistics than the .45acp when looking at protection from a bear. So if one of your main reason for getting either a .45 or 10mm is for protection against a bear I would look at a 10mm. I also own a .45 Commander but if I carried when going into bear territory I took my Glock 20.
As a completely unbiased spectator with absolutely no care about either team, I officially declare the Packers living rent free in the Viking fans head. Calling it like I see it.
Isn’t that the truth. Vikings been in the NFL over 60 years and have squat to show for it, but somehow want to try and downplay the Packers SB wins. You can feel their pain though when talking about the Packer HOF QB’s, when they can never draft and develop a QB of their own in the past 30 years. Ponder, Bridgewater, Culpepper all in the first round, and now McCarthy. Looking at the NFL law of averages of 1st round QB’s being drafted that actually make it, McCarthy doesn’t have a very good chance at making it. Especially when you factor in how well the rest of the 2024 QB draft class is looking so far, but it is too early to really tell. They are so jealous of the Packers success and that is why they have to troll on the Packer posts since the Vikings haven’t achieved anything.
I’m sure there’s plenty more to the story that we don’t know yet. They said they found DNA, so it won’t be long until they know the identity of the assassin. If ANYONE even remotely close to him in his family has ever done a 23 and me, Ancestry.com, etc he’ll be easily identified.
That comment is so true. I sat on a grand jury case where this exact thing happened. It was a cold case homicide and they had dna evidence from the murder, and every year they would run the DNA to try and find a match. One year they got a match because the brother of the murderer did a 23 & me. So somehow all this DNA profiles gets shared with the government. According to the DNA expert that testified at the grand jury trial they can tell the family because both brothers had similar DNA. According to the DNA expert they could even tell that one of the grandparents was Native American, which happened to be true in their family history.
Heard Dave Sinikyn (sp?) and Brett Blakemore (both Packers fans) talking about this on KFAN. All time ridiculous take, where’s TLazer? That you?
LilWerm. See you missed me. Sorry I have a life unlike you and don’t spend my entire life on here like you. No clue what you mean by your useless post. I see you spend a lot of time on the Pack posts, probably because the Viking post don’t have any intelligent posts. You never answered, did you see all those SB trophies shown on the Thanksgiving game won by the Pack? I know the Vikings have nothing even close to those, and never will.
Werm
we just need the Lions to lose once (looking at the Bills here) before we play week 18, and then we win out.
[/quote]
Talk about living in a fantasy world thinking the Vikings are going to win out. That has as much chance to happen as the Vikings EVER winning a SB. When you watched last weeks Packer game, those trophies they showed in the Packer HOF were SB trophies, and being a Viking fan I know you have never seen one, much less ever won one.
that fanbase has been miserable for so long they need something to cheer for.
You must be talking about the Vikings. Over 60 years in the NFL with nothing to show for it. 
KOC is for sure a top 3 coach in the league. One guy who is over rated is McVay, no way I want that guy coaching my team. He almost quit last year to be a TV analyst. I think he knew his sb victory was a one and done.
That’s hilarious KOC can’t even win a playoff game. The Vikings were 13-4 playing the Giants at 9-8 at home and had their butts handed to them by D Jones 
I’m more sold on Lafleur than I am on Love. That’s not to say I’m Anti-Love, but I think Lafleur deserves any credit he gets…and then some. He’s demonstrated that he can win in a lot of ways (HOF QB needing to have his ego managed, young QB with no experience and a no name WR corps, backup QB, different DC’s, etc). Under Lafleur the Packers organization as a whole has managed to stay out of the major negative headlines with no drug busts, female beatdowns, car crashes, 100+mph tickets, etc. The issues they have had with Jaire and Doubs were handled in-house and resulted in key players being benched at his discretion.
When you look at everything collectively – I’d put Lafleur right up with KOC, Dan Campbell, Sean McVay, and DeMeco Ryans as the best young coaches in the league with staying power. I’d bet on these 5 having lasting impacts on their current organizations for the long-haul. They are the next generation of Harbaughs, Tomlins, etc.
It might be a bit early to name DeMeco Ryan as one of the best young coaches only because this is his 2nd year as HC, but is on his way if he continues on the path he has Houston going and unlike KOC he has a win in the playoffs. Agree with McVay and Campbell assessment, but have to say naming KOC as one of the best young coaches is going waaaaay out on a limb. He is a mediocre HC at best. What has he accomplished? Vikings were 7-10 last year and missed the playoffs, and the year before got blown out by the Giants at home in the playoffs. KOC hasn’t won a playoff game, so I think it is premature to name him as one of the best young coaches IMO.
Looked in the Menards flyer and the Ion 8” 40V auger going on sale for $350 with mail in rebate.
So what about Derek Henry who is 30 and was leading the NFL in rushing because Barkley went off?
I agree with you on how the Packers wanted a more durable RB but some of the older running backs are doing very well this year.
Can you name any other RB that was 30 years old that is one of the top leading rushers in an NFL season? Henry has always been an abnormality. How many guys his size have ever run that fast? How about Elliott, D Cook, T Gurley, A Peterson, L Fournette, L Bell to name a few RB’s that declined before 30. If age and injury wasn’t a factor I would have thought the Vikings would have signed Jones to a multi-year deal.
Jones got 142 attempts in the 2023 regular season because he only played in 11 games because of injury which averaged 12.9 attempts per game. Jones got 213 attempts in the 2022 regular season, played in all 17 games which averages out to 12.6 attempts per game. This year he has 179 attempts in 11 games averaging 16.3 attempts per game. The Packers knew they had to limit his attempts because of durability issues to try to keep him healthy. With his past injury issues and turning 30 this December, I wouldn’t bet on him staying healthy for the whole year if he keeps averaging over 16 attempts per game. The reason the the Packers didn’t offer him a huge contract and decided to go a different route and sign Jacobs, was how much do you play a player who you have to limit his carries to try and keep him healthy. Look at past history in the NFL at all the good RB’s who couldn’t even get to 30 years old who were washed up.
You went from commenting on the Packers in a Packers thread to “but look what the Vikings did.” You sound like someone who can’t stop thinking or talking about an ex-girlfriend. jester
It’s called living rent free.
Talk about living rent free in someone’s head. I see I’m living rent free in your heads seeing how you always have to post about me.
Defense and run game looking good today. Nice win!
Looks like the Packers GM made a smart move in signing Jacobs instead of resigning Jones. Plus the Packers GM didn’t give up a kings ransom like the Vikings GM did for Turner, who had all of 1 tackle today and can’t get on the field.
Even though many don’t like the baitfeeder reels, I still like having the option on my rods. I have been able to get all my Okuma Ceymar reels for under $50. My local L&M sells the Okuma Avenger BF reel for $39 every day. Right now Reeds has the Okuma Ceymar ODT 500 BF reel on sale for $39 and the normal price is $85, in case anyone is looking for a baitfeeder reel.
Saw Favre doing an interview on TV this past week, and he didn’t look good. Favre was having a hard time getting his thoughts out and you could see his hands shaking. Love him or hate him, it’s hard to see that happen to anybody. Can’t say for sure the concussions were to blame, but Tua might want to go and see Favre and then determine if he wants to continue playing football.
Unless you positive you would never use the rod for dead sticking I would spend the little extra for a baitfeeder reel. With so many options to consider with buying a new rod, like length (are you mainly fishing in a shack or outside), and action for the types or lures he may want to fish with, it may be best to let him choose the ice fishing rod himself. I’m sure you have probably received gifts where you said, this is nice, but thought to yourself I really would have liked this other model/gift. A nice rod and reel won’t be cheap so might be better to let him choose what he really wants. An option would be for you to tell him, I want to get you a custom ice fishing rod for Xmas, but I want you to get what you really want so you are leaving the decision up to him. Let him go online and look at all the different ice fishing rod builders, or maybe he would want to go to an ice show and look at the rods in person and talk to the seller s directly. I probably wouldn’t wait too long though if you decide to go this route, because it could easily take 2-4 weeks to get a custom rod built, and most of the ice shows are before Xmas.
I have a streamlight rechargeable flashlight that recharges while it’s in a base mounted on my garage wall so it is always charged. One thing I like about recharging in a base as opposed to a cord is the flashlight is always charged and it always where you know it is when you need it. I walk the dog often at night, and it’s nice knowing exactly where the flashlight is because I always put it back in the charging base. It’s an older streamlight so I’m sure the newer lights are probably brighter, so I would look for light with a charging base.
If Darnold leaves for the green and A-a Ron comes to Kwesi and says I’ll be a mentor and backup for JJ for $15 mil, I’d advise Kwesi to do the deal. Chances that A Rog humbles himself to stick a knife in the Green and Gold are non-existent. I think Rodgers understands the Pack did the right thing by sending him on his way.
The Vikings have another possible trap game this week, but the likelihood of the Offense falling into the Trap for a second week in a row is highly doubtful. One would expect that after last week, the Offense practiced with playoff intensity this week, especially in the red zone. I think chances are pretty good that the Titans will get run over this week.
I realize the Vikings like to sign Packer castoffs, but you don’t want Rodgers, believe me. Rodgers is such a diva and would destroy any chemistry on the team, and would also want to be the GM besides the QB. I’m sure he thought the Pack did him wrong and would want to try to prove them wrong and play for the Vikings. I bet if the Jets could take back the trade for Rodgers, they definitely would.
This could be the Bears last gasp before the wheels officially fall off. There’s talent there and I feel like the defense could force plenty of turnovers if the offense could ever stay ON the field long enough to give them a rest.
I think it’s ugly, but the Packers win. 24-20.
If you’re a Bears fan, you have to be excited you’re not the Cowboys, LOL. The Cowboys are a real poop show right now, and I couldn’t be happier.
It is apparent to me that the Hail Mary TD broke Da Bears. I will be amazed if Caleb and Co. don’t get run over for 3rd, 4th, and 5th week in a row after that catastrophe in DC.
I don’t think the Bears stop the bleeding at any point in this three-game stretch against the Division. Da Bears are cooked.
My neighbor who is a good friend of mine, I couldn’t even ask him what the DB was doing jawing with the crowd while the Hail Mary play was still going on. Think I will have to wait awhile and make sure his blood pressure is stable before I bring that play up. I saw some posts that mention there could be some turmoil possibly going on with Da Bears where the O Line seems to not like Caleb very much. Will be interesting to watch the next few games and see if that is the case or not. Da Bears should lose the next 3 games, but being division games anything can happen on any given Sunday, so I won’t be shocked if they pull out a win in one of the games.
Bears fan here. On paper Bears offense has a lot of weapons. Waldron was fired for not properly calling plays. New OC coordinator could turn things around with good play calling. Go Bears!!!
You’re correct on paper Da Bears appear to have some weapons on offense. I thought your offensive line was one of the main issues with the offense sputtering. So will a new OC coordinator be able to make the offense any better if the O Line plays like it has? Guess we will see in the next few games.
That’s hilarious, so you’re now saying he hasn’t developed anyone? That’s some high praise for KOC. I guess you are correct, heck of a high scoring game last week with all those TD’s the Vikings scored against a 2 win team.
I was referring to the other troller.
How many did they put up against the cheese?
Could be wrong but didn’t both teams score 4 TD’s that game. So how many TD’s did they score last week against a team that has only won 2 games this year?
You guys actually fell for that “trolling” lure swimming by. Come on now.
That’s hilarious, so you’re now saying he hasn’t developed anyone? That’s some high praise for KOC. I guess you are correct, heck of a high scoring game last week with all those TD’s the Vikings scored against a 2 win team.
HA! KOC wants a QB he can mold and develop, it’s his specialty and he’s good at it. Rogers is the antithesis of that. Signing Rogers would be like signing a second head coach and GM – and a really bad one, at that.
Which young QB’s exactly has KOC molded and developed? Just curious.
