2013 Vikings off season

I agree the signing of Carter's son is irrelevant and nothing to lose maybe a little to gain? who really cares.

with that said having met Chris Carter in person he is a jerk to the fullest extent.

Its hard to be judgmental on athletes in the public. Put your self in their shoes and tell me you wouldn't be fed up with routine once in a while. I am sure you have your bad days as well. I had the chance to meet Puckett a few times, first was when I was like 10 and I thought he was a jerk, met him at a signing deal at shinders. I carried that for a few years and then I met him again, totally different, the last time I met him was probably about a year before he passed and he was a class act all the way. Yeah being a pro athlete would be the bees knees and all but there would be a lot not to like about it, you cant expect just because they make millions means they have to have a bubbly personality.

With that said some guys are jerkoffs, kind of switched tunes on that huh

Not to interupt you two's lover's quarrel

Quote:
Erin Henderson has bulked up to 248 pounds in anticipation of his move to middle linebacker.

Henderson has been a special teamer and weak-side linebacker throughout his five-year career. He's now penciled in as the starter in the middle after Jasper Brinkley signed with the Cardinals. If Henderson sticks in the middle, look for fourth-round rookie Gerald Hodges to take a crack at the starting WILL job.

I still am puzzled as to why they kept Henderson. It is good to see he has added some size, but I am still hoping we pick up a free agent to start, and have Henderson be the back up.

Bulky doesn't always mean slow, its looks slow because many of the bulky guys you see trying to be athletic are slow and uncoordinated due to their slow heavy reps in the gym. Hence forth your training your body to be slow. If he trained the right way and added weight he could be just fine. We'll have to see how it plays out, with the other additions I think the Mike spot can be something that's "serviceable" and Henderson is just that.

LMIT, please name some players you like, can you even think of any? Current or recently retired please.

What does that have to do with anything?

He can't!!! For once he doesn't have a comeback!!

To see if there is actually something/somebody you approve of. Everything you post is negative, pessimistic, antagonistic, and I would like to know what it takes to win your approval. Or are you just a grouchy old man?

I'm not old, just not a back slappin', self congratulating, high fiving, kool aid chugging rube such as yourself that can't and won't admit when your team and their actions might not be all they're cracked up to be.

I guess I have that luxury when I'm not emotionally invested to the point of delusion, as you quite obviously are.

Heck, rundrave stated Cris Cancer is a jerk and you had a cop-out for that too!

You need help.

I enjoy watching football and am a fan of the Vikes. There are players I like and players I don't, on this team and on other teams. Im not a face painter, nor a jersey wearer but I am not going to rip on those that enjoy doing that, that's their deal. What is quite comical is that you refuse to name any player, confirming my idea that you are nothing but a Whiner, Mr. Negative, Antagonist, Debbie Downer, whatever else you want to call it. If emotionally investing myself is wanting to see the local sports team do good well I guess there are billions of people worldwide that got it wrong and you have it right.

Please come up with some new material, the Kool-Aid has dried up.

You cant name ONE athlete that you enjoyed watching? Why are you even posting in this forum then, oh I know, to spread your pessimistic views. What a quality human being.

If you really believe CC isn't a HOFer than you obviously know nothing about football.

I need help? You need to ease up on those downers pal.

You're right, it doesnt, but adding weight IMO will not make him faster and in all likelihood would reduce his "bend" or flexibility.

I think he will stand up better in the run game with more bulk. But like you said, we will have to just see how it pans out. I dont think he is in long term future plans with the vikes either.

No I don't think he'll be in purple longer either, but who knows. Right now a serviceable guy is better than a liability and Henderson is fine with me being we really addressed our top priorities this off season.

This is an easy personality issue diagnosis. Classic inferiority complex. The only way to keep "true" to the Packers is bash anything Vikings. To feel elevated and superior requires putting others down. It's like the guy who wouldn't follow the "code" of not dating one of his buddies' little sisters, and then has nothing but bad things to say to the bros about her after she dumps him.

Like your politics LMIT, but taking on the opinions and actions of others in politics who want to run your life their way is one thing. When it comes to Vike-Pack concerns, might I recommend just letting the teams settle things, like they always do, on the field. You don't have to take on every chest thumper who comes along who is excited about the latest Vikings news, and name calling is, well, gauche.

Oh, you're just snorting the powder now?

You want a player I enjoyed watching?

Brock Lesnar. Best player the Vikes ever had.

Bahahahahaha!

As for Hodges, I heard the talk on Fantasy sports radio that he was the PR and KR for opening game for Penn State this season.....that is a pretty athletic dude, he may turn into a good MLB after all.

LMIT, the player doesn't have to be a Viking. You could say Aaron Rogers, oh he is probably over paid, it could be Peyton, oh wait he is also over paid and thinks he knows all to much about how to run an offense, it could be Brady, oh wait that's the coaches success not the players, it could be ANYBODY!! Just say a name, realistically, any player in the league that wins your approval. I wont bash it either, I just really think you hate everything and everybody.

Vikings off season has never been a problem it's the real season when the problems show! Tired of watching teams run left and making big yardage, who are the defenders over there? I miss Ben Leber! Ponder should buy more life insurance because sometimes it looks like the middle of the O line doesn't like him. I miss Matt Birk!

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
