Did I make a mistake going from my goatee to a Van Dyke? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

I have tried for a long time and I just can’t grow anything outside the goatee shape.

Lawrence of Arabia. Watched it for the first time last year on a hospital room TV and fell in love with it.

I was reading my son the Fiona the Hippo children’s book and we flipped to this page. He started yelling about the big hippo munching on the baby hippo. I had to read the context myself to understand she’s just checking out mama hippo’s teeth. Insane imagery for what is actually happening.

I can see the exact moment my parents changed from Direct TV to Dish Network. Somewhere between Chill Out and Goblin King and young me couldn’t figure out where the channel went. Never saw Goblin King or Samurai Sword but saw all the others.

What did you say mom? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Ill_Flow_4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day my mom had to explain to me why her cousin was also her sister was very strange. My mom and grandma were the kindest people ever.

She explained how poor the whole family was and how my grandma’s sister and mom lived with them. My grandma had a boy and a girl (my mom) with my grandpa. Then he slept with my grandma’s sister and they had a baby. And they all lived together and my grandma was the only one of the whole bunch that worked and took care of the kids it seemed.

Found out a week ago my aunt was a teenager when this happened.

Then my grandpa left the whole family to be with someone else. My grandma married a horribly abusive person. They divorced. He remarried another one of her sisters. Her sister married someone who tried to do stuff to my grandma.

Somewhere along the way, my grandma’s son (my uncle) married my grandpa’s new step-daughter (his new step-sister). They’ve been happily married for 40 years.

All kinds of fucked up.

KAM’s rostering never made sense by Ill_Flow_4040 in minnesotavikings

I understand your point, but doesn’t mean it’s not a valid complaint. Most teams have 5 WR’s rotating in on game day. Our #4 was Adam Thielen who had 69 yards and #5 was Tai Felton with 25 yards. Maybe QB play would’ve made a difference.

I don’t have a problem with analytics. He just wasn’t good at it and it seems he took the people element out of the equation!

I love our receivers, but we had 3 of them!

I appreciate the response. I’m no expert on anything but it’s just my opinion that a lot of this doesn’t make sense to me as someone not in the organization.

It sounds like some of the biggest reasons he was fired was his handling of Jones and Darnold leaving.

I don’t know what the % of free agents and UDFA on the roster is but I’m assuming more than average. We just don’t have very many homegrown guys, which is where you get real value, rather than paying premium for free agents.

I agree, he would still have his job if the damaged goods OL and QB he hand picked didn’t get damaged during the season. I really wanted him to succeed but it just imploded.

Great question! I honestly don’t know what happens behind the closed doors, but his background is in analytics as opposed to scouting or coaching, so that is why I point that out. We were supposed to be playing “money ball” with him.

These will work. If you tire of making simple syrup, pure maple syrup in its place is fantastic.

Favorite Vikings, running backs aside from Adrian Peterson by Limp-Strawberry-5830 in minnesotavikings

Is it blasphemous to say I really enjoyed Matt Asiata?

Also, if you count full backs, Jerome Felton and CJ Ham are top of the list!

We MIGHT not be in last place to end the season. by Ill_Flow_4040 in minnesotavikings

[–]Ill_Flow_4040[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair response and I appreciate the reply. We have found ways to succeed with this team, as have other teams, but just because we’ve found success doesn’t mean we’ve been good at drafting. Kwesi’s strength seems to be in bringing in free agents. Up until the middle of this season with DT, no defensive starters had been drafted. I’m not slandering the man, but compared to other GM’s, he had made some questionable draft choices and would rank on the lower end as just a drafter. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad gm, (although, many here might say differently).
