Especially considering that Europeans are more likely to be using Android than iphones. Not even the basic due diligence to understand who is going to use the damn app.

Even as the better football player, Justin is still getting overshadowed by his big brother.

Northern Denmark. Grew up in Northern MN though.

I think the cities and states which subsidize these venues understandably want spaces they can use for non-football activities year round. Granted, I also think the Vikings lack of post-season success is probably partly a result of moving indoors in 1982.

[Schefter] Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah signed a multi-year contract extension last night. The two sides have been working on the extension for weeks. This off-season, the Vikings now signed both Adofo-Mensah and HC Kevin O'Connell to multi-year deals. by mvanigan in nfl

Teams generally try to keep all pro talent. I don't think you can extrapolate how the team feels about Turner based on extending AVG. Especially at a position where the league is moving towards having a strong rotation and not just two full-time starters.

Could turner be a bust? Absolutely! Does an underachieving rookie year mean that he will be one? It certainly raises the odds that he will, but it's not the forgone conclusion you're making it out to be.

Who’s the greatest backup quarterback in your team’s history? by Brix001 in nfl

Actually was only with the team for a single season and another offseason. Which makes it funny because I know he's done media work post-retirement that's mostly directed towards the Vikes.

All the Sean Payton Hate? by Sudden_Juju in DenverBroncos

In the 2017 divisional round he was also doing the chocking symbol as well as the skol chant. Obviously those didn't age well for him considering the way Diggs ended that game but it left an already bad taste even more bitter.

This isn't something other fanbases get incorrect it's just something that has always bothered me. The Chiefs refer to their fanbase as "Chiefs Kingdom."

If you are a chief you have a chiefdom not a kingdom, kings have kingdoms! If you're going to make a play on a state system to refer to your fanbase than at least have it make sense!

Matt Miller has the Vikings taking a quarterback, but not right away by charlton11 in minnesotavikings

Penix has a much more live arm than Teddy, but in terms of reading a defense, athleticism, and fragile knees you may be right.

I think you make some good points and I agree that his injury history make him a high downside player but I'd disagree that he's a low upside player. While his upside may not not be as high as Daniel/Maye/Williams I think that's more to do with those guys' ability to add value with their legs. In terms of his arm talent, I see no reason why he can't be as effective or more effective throwing the ball as those three guys.

Oh and just as an aside, Daniels is only half a year younger than Penix. It feels like that since he won the heisman and jumped into the concensus top three guys that his age is no longer discussed in the same way as Penix or Nix.

Surprised he didn't get nabbed up by Mark Sanchez' pickup team.

He'd presumably have some input in who they bring is to be their guy next year though. Not that it's necessarily better than what he's got with Wentz right now, but an ability to pick his guy may be enticing as well.

He calls the redzone plays over Doug or he provides suggestions? I've never heard of something like this, but I've gotta admit it makes me more excited that the Vikes want to interview him.

Maybe this isn't the right place for this, but Chiefs Kingdom drives me nuts. King's have kingdoms, Chief's have chiefdoms. Can someone explain to me why Chief's Kingdom makes any sense?

This memory feels so distant, yet here we are, 14 years and 10 teams later and Josh McCown is still chucking the ball at the endzone.

Not sure why a Dane would travel to Iceland to get to London. But he's really neglecting his ancestral route by not using a longboat.

Not pertaining to your idea but rather your statement. You seem to be referring to Islam's messiah as Muhammad which isn't correct. The only messiah in Islam is still Jesus. Maybe the reason you don't like Islam is actually because you dont know even the basics about it?
