Maybe we’ll see him around here again in the future as a Defensive Coordinator.

They sure are happy about being slightly less fat, at a very significant cost. It is remarkable how flippin' well these things work, however. Everytime my 10-year old hears "COVID", he has to say, "If it's COVID....Paxlovid". BTW, random nugget - in the long-form commercial, the fat lady admits...

Cell phone provider and pharmaceutical ads while watching sports. I used to be burned out on Ford Truck and Bud Light ads, but now I pine for them.

I mean, it's a message board. If there wasn't complaining allowed, you'd only be left with about 10% of the content. And what's the fun in that? The recent post showed the Twins spent all of 0.5% of what the Dodgers did in free agency over the past two years. Will complaining fix that? No. But...

It was poppin, great crowd.

I'm sure this was discussed on the women's board, but watching the MN/MD womens game last week made me marvel at how anybody would want to play for Maryland. The box score lists an attendance of 5k, but based on pans across the crowd, I bet there wasn't more than 2k there. Maryland was ranked...

And just sign reliever Tanner Scott to 4/$72. Its like they’re intentionally trying to piss off all the other owners into instituting a salary cap.

One thing to note, that the team was generally pretty healthy in 2024. If they go back to the mean as far as typical number of injuries in 2025, all things equal, they likely perform worse by a couple victories. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/min/2024_injuries.htm

I hate to bring intent (and thus more subjectivity) to refs, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. That wasn't a legit attempt at completing a pass. With how often defenders are flagged for hitting the QB wrong, it has changed how they're hitting QBs, and seems...

For everybody clamoring for IOL help, pickings are likely to be a bit slim. If they want to take a guard at 24, there are only two highly ranked guards in the draft. As far as free agents, there are a couple of bigger names that are old, and then a bunch of Dalton Risner-level guys. Will...

He's been playing well on punt blocking. I'm mostly joking as he's still very young. However, he seems tailor made for Flores' defensive scheme, so I am a bit concerned he didn't flash a bit more this year.

The three biggest games of KOC's career (Playoffs vs. Daniel freakin' Jones, Playoffs vs. Rams, Week 18 vs. Lions): 0-3, outscored 85-42.

With the Gophers not having a big-bucks OC to pay, plus the Heatherman buyout, plus the additional assistant coach money pool for 2025, PJ could go after a reasonably established coach. On the flip side, if Collins hits it out of the park, one would hope we have a decent chance of keeping him...

This one is so bad it requires it's own note. I'd say his performance/repeated injuries were one of the most perfect examples of karma, but with his $230MM contract, I'm not sure that necessarily applies. Dude's crying all the way to the bank. I do wonder how much he had to pay out to the 23...

Darnold has turned into a pumpkin.

End of the third, and not looking good. It’s starting to feel like they need the D to step up and make a big play. KOC, Darnold, Reichert all having their worst games of the year.

Me screaming at the TV “take the points! Darnold can’t hit anything!!”

I would love for that to happen and get a really dynamic RB, but it ain’t happening. Only 1 first rounder, hopefully a 3rd compensatory pick and then a fifth. Too many needs at DT, CB, IOL to draft a RB that high. Unless KAM can work his magic in free agency and fill those needs. If they could...

Bradbury is under contract for one more year, although his dead cap is low ($2.5MM if memory serves). I looked at the free agent class at C/G as well as draft grades, and woof. Not a good year to be looking for interior OL. 2 guards and 1 center ranked high enough to take in the top 2 rounds.

Maybe he was the one who was standing in for PJ during his eye removal surgery.
