I mentioned on MB’s thread that I had an operation yesterday. So, I’m not feeling any too good physically today. But I AM feeling a lot of gratitude for this site. Thank you Vikesrock, for reminding me of the Viking Update days! I even remember its precursor the Viking Report. I think it was called Tommy Kramer’s Viking Report which morphed into the old Update. I loved those. And Purple Thoughts and now Vikefans. Vikefans has combined all that came before it—up-to-the-minute news, humor, and truly knowledgeable fans who teach me a lot. I love the back and forth on current topics and the effort to do it without bringing politics into it. That’s a tall order in these divided times.

This site brightens my day. I always look forward to reading the latest from
VikeFans. Thanks for all who post, and a special shout out the the Mods!

Wish u the best Ivar...Healing and successful recovering

I've had a couple major surgeries myself this calendar year, so feel free to pm me. We can commiserate if that'll help out.

Noted.

I'll see if I can rectify that.

They seemed to kinda get ignored after I'd done 'em for a few years, but I'd known you were still reading...I'd have kept it up. Big fan, it's kinda great seeing a fellow Vikings fan on any given show at any given time. That's seriously fun, as a viewer...!

Heal up, Ivar!

There's a blast from the past......good to see you, man!

Quick recovery, Ivar! Not sure my wife believes me after all this time when I show her your commercials/shows and that you post on the board Wink

I hope you get well soon.
I remember Bob Lurtsema's Viking Update in the late 80s. Had to pay extra to get it before the game. I got Anthony Carter's autograph on the cover with his picture on it after we invaded Tampa Bay.
