That message ^^^ confused the hell out of me. Hey I'm going this way, errrr a message later I'm going this way!!!

I know little about this, but it appears the Vikings are gone anyway, so who cares? Their own state doesn't even want to help keep them around.

Vikings will leave to something like Los Angeles and in five-eight years the NFL will bring in another team or two, one being the Minnesota Waffles.

Go weddle yourself over that!

Who said anything about your team? I sure as hell didn't. Oh wait, I forgot.. The correct way for me to act is jump on the winning team's bandwagon. At least that way I would never have to use any excuse for poor play from any team. [grin1]

Weddle shouldn't have to compensate for Minny's backup CBs, only cover whatever range he would be given as determined by the defensive call. He certainly can't be worse than Minny's current S corp..

The people in MN that harp on the Vikings using public money are really un-informed and need to actually read the last stadium bill that was drawn up. Anyone outside of Ramsey county will not pay a cent more of taxes that would go to the new stadium.. Unless they bought NFL gear or lottery tickets.

It's people in Ramsey county that have a legitimate gripe.

Oh, and great play on words in that last sentence.. lol

I admit, I know nothing about it really, other than the TEAM wants the state to pitch in. When the Packers asked the surrounding counties for help, a half percent sales tax, I was all for it. I couldn't believe some of the folks who were pissed about it. I guess there was something with property taxes that I wasn't aware of.

I think the state should help, but not finance the whole thing. I don't like the Vikings, but I dislike teams moving FAR more.

But that's all I've heard, and nothing official because of the shut down. Now it's about getting the MN Governor to call a second special session to draft the details of the deal.

He was a Profootballfocus All-Pro free safety. So it's safe to say (no pun intended) that this guy is a beast. I really, really hope the Vikes don't snatch him up.

Yeah, I wouldn't like this. Their safety situation has been a showing of mediocrity and this'd fix quite a bit.

Per MN beat reporters.. Weddle agrees to re-ink with Chargers.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
