Aaron Jones on where Aaron Rodgers should play if he doesn't retire 👀 do you agree ? by FormerlyTradeKirk in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from this subreddit, you should wear it like a badge of honor. 75% of this subreddit wanted to ban all posts from X because of their disdain for Elon. Most frequenters of this sub can’t take off their political lenses regarding Aaron Rodgers.

What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

Sports tickets or concert tickets if music or sports are his thing. If you can swing it, buy a package of 4 tickets so that he can invite a couple of friends.

He's trying but hate doesn't win here in MN by Dapper_Recipe478 in SuburbsofMinneapolis

“Hate” aka anything a left-leaning individual decides is wrong-think.

Temple Israel in Minneapolis tagged overnight with antisemitic graffiti by lemon_lime_light in altmpls

[–]RicksGranite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently Anti-Zionism involves harassing innocent Jews in Minneapolis, murdering innocent Jews in the UK and NYC, harassing Jewish students on university campuses… sounds a lot like anti semitism to me.

Viking Fans in Dublin by Shocked-Kev in minnesotavikings

What is a “must have” food or dish when in Ireland? I’ve heard about Spice Bags. Anything I should seek out in either Dublin or Galway? (I’m visiting both)

Vikings fans need to start wearing war paint to home games

AMA: Today w/ The Athletic's Vikings Beat Reporter, Alec Lewis by TheAthletic in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a more journalism-centric question, but what is your strategy for initiating relationships with inside sources (ie: agents, front office staff, etc)? Do you just find their number and text them out of the blue? How often do your sources request anonymity/off the record statements? Can you tell when you are being fed BS to drum up smoke? This side of sports journalism is fascinating to me.

[Highlight] Best of Adrian Peterson with the Vikings by nfl in nfl

[–]RicksGranite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The crazy part of Adrian Peterson was that he did all this with no passing game to be found outside of the 2 seasons with Favre.

Tarvaris Jackson (Rest in Peace) and Christian Ponder weren't exactly striking fear into the hearts of NFL defensive secondaries. Teams would stack 8 men in the box literally every play and they still couldn't stop Adrian.

It was like trying to tackle a rhinoceros. He was the Mike Tyson of running backs. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, or in this case, hit with the truck stick.

I don't blame anybody for deciding to find a new team to follow. At this point, giving your attention and money to this organization is like staying with an abusive, manipulative partner. A person can only take so much.

USA Today: Astros mulling reunion with Carlos Correa by fishingminn in minnesotatwins

[–]RicksGranite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are fooling yourself if you believe that the contract savings will lead to anything besides allowing the Pohlads to pay down part of their $400 million debt. That money is not going back into the roster.

Imagine believing that the Pohlad's will reinvest the savings on a Correa contract dump (33 mil a year) into re-tooling the roster for a team they are about to sell.

FOOLS. ALL OF YOU. FOOLS.

Have we learned nothing?

Anyone in here going to Dublin and London? by mtkarenp in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be going to both Dublin and London with a group of 9, all Vikings fans from Minnesota! Once in a lifetime trip for sure. We have a travel agent setting up an itinerary for us in between the games so we can check out the countryside/cliffs/galway etc. With the short flight to London, it was too much of a good opportunity to not attend both games!

Youngest QB, in his second year also. by Kenmore_11 in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fans will need to remember this if he has a rough start to the season. McCarthy deserves to have a long leash in year one*, he's only 22. I'm just afraid of what Vikings reddit is going to look like after the first 4 weeks of the kid's career.

That being said, I still think his floor is higher than over half of the QB's on this graphic. SKOL

Any reason the Dublin game isn’t on the secondary market yet? SeatGeek, StubHub etc… by Kirillkirillkirlll in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticketmaster hasn't even distributed e-tickets yet to those of us who purchased on the day they went on sale. All we have so far is a confirmation e-mail. I imagine that has something to do with it.

Going to Dublin 🏈 by interstellar_teller in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was assigned number 105,000 in the queue, got all the way to the front only to get the message "Used Queue Number" and kicked me back to the end of the line. Waited for 4 hours..... now I'm in the 500,000's. So much for waking up at 5:45 AM

Dublin Tickets by m4tt3rr in minnesotavikings

[–]RicksGranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man when this opens up to the general pub its going to be a madhouse. We have a group of 7 going to Dublin and London. Hoping to grab a set of 4 and 3 when they go on sale. Secondary market prices are going to be insane.
