  NFL commissioner, players' union angrily denounce Trump
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-23-2017, 03:05 PM - Forum: Sensitive Topics - Replies (33)

SOMERSET, N.J. - (AP) -- The National Football League and its players' union on Saturday angrily denounced President Donald Trump for suggesting that owners fire players who kneel during the national anthem and that fans consider walking out in protest "when somebody disrespects our flag."
"Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players," the league commissioner, Roger Goodell, said in a statement.

  Vikings’ refusal to make long-term investment in Sam Bradford now makes sense
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-23-2017, 02:35 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (6)

The Vikings were willing to take a chance on Bradford’s knee when they were desperate in the days after Bridgewater crumpled to the turf, but they weren’t going to get stuck guaranteeing a large sum of money to a guy with a potential knee condition.
The entire situation with Bradford’s knee in the past couple of weeks has been shrouded in mystery. It’s a cartilage problem, no it’s a bone bruise. It’s possibly going to keep him out six weeks, no that was coach Mike Zimmer being flippant when he gave that estimate, unless it was a slip of the tongue by Zimmer on Sunday that general manager Rick Spielman told him to correct on Monday.
The latest is that Bradford’s knee isn’t improving, that he won’t play Sunday against Tampa Bay, meaning he will miss a second consecutive game, and that he will now see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his knee.
Bradford being sent to Dr. Andrews for a second opinion would call into question what Zimmer meant last Sunday when he said Bradford would be fine. Being sent to Andrews to get your knee checked, after the team doctors already have attempted to diagnose the problem, usually means the player is anything but fine.
Often it means that player is headed for surgery.
It also can mean that player’s long-term future with his present employer is anything but certain. The Vikings have been guilty in the past of mishandling situations and creating their own bad luck, but in this case it’s remarkable how bad luck has found them.

  Fearless prediction

Going out on a limb here, with all the doom and gloom resurfacing thanks to Mr. Bradford's knee. But here it goes....Teddy comes back and ends up being the starter soon after he's off the PUP list and leads this team to the playoffs.

Might as well have something to hope for, and if recent reports about him being ready soon are true...I'll put on my purple shades and drink the Kool-Aid.

  Just want to see if I've got my facts straight.....
Posted by: njvike - 09-22-2017, 06:14 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (41)

....Between April of 2011 and September of 2016, Schpielman has used THREE FIRST ROUND draft picks (and a grand total of 5 draft picks) on Quarterbacks, and on 9/24/2017, the starter/backup combo for the Vikings is Keenum/Sloter?? Meanwhile, regarding the three 1st rounders : 1 is out of the NFL, 1 is still rehabbing from a potentially career ending injury (non-contact) and the last is seeking a 2nd opinion from a specialist regarding a mysterious non-contact injury to his twice-surgically-repaired knee?
Do I have my facts straight, or am I just being a "hater"?
