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.

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.

If you flipped roles the same would apply, would you agree? If not, then what you stated is completely hypocritical and fraudulent.

BTW, I'm not a Packers fan, so that blows your theory all to hell anyway.

I don't have a hard time with it at all. I just refuse to answer an irrelevant question, unless I missed the post where everyone is supposed to list their favorite players, which I'm pretty sure I didn't.

Let's see, I don't hate the Packers so we can't flip on that basis. I do hate the Cowboys but I don't go on their forums and bash their teams so can't flip on that basis. I didn't call anyone names so flipping on that basis is out. I did post a reply to someone on the forum but that's not flipping roles. I guess, by your own definition, if we can't flip roles I can't be a hypocrit and a fraud.

I do like being in your kitchen, like you do with so many others, so I guess we did flip on at least one role level. Still like your politics, my friend. BTW, my best friend since HS is an admitted Packers fan, you should come out of the closet. It's got to be rough being a latent Cheesehead.....

I love his work ethic, hopefully he can fit in, and be successful.

Quote:
Joe Webb has been catching passes in preparation for a switch to receiver.

The Vikings haven't notified Webb of a position switch, but it's looking likely that he'll be asked to make the transition back to receiver in 2013. "I'm doing a lot more work at it so I can work on my craft at receiver since I haven't been there since, what, 2010 when I first got drafted?," asked Webb rhetorically. "I'm comfortable. Whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to do it." Webb has one year left on his contract, and his best chance to make the team will be at receiver.

His best chance to make this team OR any team for that matter. Highly athletic. I like the idea of him being on the field, but he doesnt have the tools to be an every day QB.Hopefully he is working with someone like Greg Jennings on route running, etc.

I would like to see him on special teams, and I know he has played a little CB before, who knows? He is fast, has decent hands, and knows basic routes, maybe from a different angle, but he knows them. The guy has heart, he was always on the practice field first, worked out, and tried to better himself in the offseasons, like I said, he has great work ethics, hopefully we can find him a position he fits in.

wouldnt that be a first if the Packers got one of the Vikings' castoffs?

He is definitely athletic and I completely agree, you love seeing a guy who works hard just to get a chance.

He's kinda like Tebow. Will never make it at QB, but man, so dang athletic its a shame you cant find somewhere to fit him in.

I like all this off-season banter, I'll rev up the packer faithful a bit, they got 2 titles, Favre's and Rodgers, what they did way back who cares really, we don't throw Minneapolis Laker parties here lol. What was there 3.5 teams back in their dynasty ? They relied on freezing out the opposition back in their hay day. smile What is a Packer and why don't they have a mascot ? I mean not what I say except for I hope Rodgers has to go to early retirement about week 2 next year.

I hope he finds a position that he excels at on our team. Most of us already knew he wasn't going to be good at QB, some of us been calling for him to play WR or TE for a couple yrs now.

He should do much better when his instructions are run and catch. I never thought he had the smarts to be a good QB. I still wouldn't mind to see him come in now and again for a designed QB draw or bootleg. He could be pretty decent on some gadget plays where he has an option to run or throw.

JW is a better qb than he showed in the playoff game. Its just too bad he'll be remembered for it. But it is time for the Vikes to work him out at wr. Has anyone really see him run routes or catch?

It's being reported that the Vikings had offered Mike Wallace $76 million before he signed with the Dolphins for $60 million. If that is true.. $76 million is a huge offer. Did he even visit here? I find it hard to believe the Vikings would offer that kind of money without a whine and dine evening and a visit to winter park.

Figure out the tax money he'd have to pony up in Minnesota and it's probably a pretty comparable offer. Plus the fact that he wanted to live in a climate like Florida.

Vikes didn't really have a chance with him....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
