A good KG story that was in the comments of Jackie’s story.

Also, Vikings fan here. Illegal hit, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt after watching the replays and his reaction to the penalty after the hit as far as it being intentionally dirty. There was another one earlier where dude dove at Teddy’s knees that looked worse and wasn’t called and next drive the Vikes…

Ponder did the intentional fall forward instead of sliding for this very reason. I forget now who he said he learned if from but it was another NFL QB. For this exact scenario where you basically leave yourself defenseless and without the help of (inertia?) and become the victim, whereas if you just dive forward onto…

I’m still not a scientist but maintain my position after some internet research. If anything, I guess my definition of “gateway” differs from the apologists. It seems like the consensus is that if the gateway, whether it be alcohol or weed or heroin, disappeared then susceptible individuals would just use the next…

I didn't get that it's wrong for the NFL to charge, maybe unethical or unpatriotic but that's on them. I do kind of agree that the military shouldn't be paying for it though, especially since it's kind of a win-win for the NFL since most people (or me anyway) assumed it was just actual patriotism.

Thanks for the answer and understanding. I kind of figured that was the case but wasn’t sure and didn’t have (the balls?) to ask. I'm glad you see that not everyone is out to get you and wants to try to understand even though it goes against what we've learned through our own experiences.

Re: Dear Vikings Front Office

Probably true I guess. I'm not a scientist. Just saying weed was a gateway to other drugs for me which I thought was evidence. I'll have to Google the distinction.

I agree that beer is a gateway drug but weed is next on the totem pole. I went from beer at parties to occasional pot smoker to regular pot smoker to coke/acid/crank/shrooms/ecstasy/whatever people were offering and if I was born later I’m sure it would have whatever synthetic drugs “the kids nowadays” are using. If I…

Has that high-pitched Peyton DirecTV commercial been labeled problematic yet?

Brady's lawyers are available again. Pending appeals.

Or, we planted a virus in it's circuitry thingy that will, once down(or up) loaded send us all their secret plans on how to make stuff, like plastic army guys, for super cheap, via the computer web.

College? I can go back to college?

I think you're lowering the bar on brilliant here.

Marvin Harrison?

But now that more than two people have heard of it we must put it on the "sucks" list and find something less mainstream and a bit edgier with hints of coffee and rasberry bark, right?

Any of them that get me a day off of work?

Fair enough. I'm actually a transplanted Vikings fan stuck in California so I don't listen to the games on the radio since I'm pretty much forced to have "The Ticket" to watch the games. I just recently started listening to the Twin Cities radio shows via iHeartRadio so maybe I don't have the perspective you do and…
