Baby what you going to do what’s up jeromes happy Thursday happy Thursday Thursday Happy uh he sees you when you’re pooping so it’s almost Christmas and so as an adult you you you forget uh about like Christmas and the holidays you’re like ah you know it’s nice you

Know uh see friends and family eat and drink too much the sports on it’s bowl bowl game season all that stuff but when you have kids it’s amazing man so you get to relive all of the fun Christmas and holiday traditions and seeing things through the eyes of a kid it’s great

It’s great man also great is uh the trade that joural manager quacy do fensa pulled off at the deadline last season bringing TJ hackinson he’s the top two tight end in the league he might not be two but bringing him over to uh the Minnesota fighting Vikings that also I forgot that

He wore number 88 in uh um in Detroit saying Detroit man this is Super Bowl it’s a bad look that’s a bad number in Detroit didn’t Mike Williams wear 88 he he he looked like a tight end even though he is a receiver technically but yeah TJ saving the Hawkeye from The

Clutches of Detroit I mean on the left was his rookie year on the right was right before he got the news that he was saved and he would purify himself in the waters of Lake minetonka uh but hackinson when asked about the Revenge game narratives and all that stuff hey

Uh is he going to go Jake Browning we shouldn’t have never have’t traded me uh it’s just another team we have to control what we can control and play as hard as we can it will be a lot of fun so boiler played answer uh from that and

Hackinson this is not his first time playing his old Squad uh they played him late in the season last year and the alliance allegedly won remember that was a game where JJ stepped out of bounds so stupid like JJ JJ would have gone off for 300 but Hockinson had six for 77 on

Eight uh the and KJ got themselves a touchdown that game good times man uh something that was not good times was the back-to-back tush pushes that ended effectively ended the game uh for the Vikings and especially the offense where I mean the offense was cooking a little

Bit I mean Hockinson had himself a nice grab and when he was tackled short of the sticks on second down see this always bugs me too cuz I feel like there’s an an inordinate amount of plays on first or second down that end up a yard short

Of the line to gain and especially when it happens on first down where it’s just like man the receiver just couldn’t just like sh me a little bit more extend I don’t know because it will always come back to haunt you it’s sort of like golf

Where I mean you can Crush that first drive but I mean if you if you can’t chip or putt I mean th those uh those uh Strokes count the same as well it’s just frustrating man but uh just just putting a a finish on as Kevin C for ESPN who’s

Not Carl Gman Kota on the Vikings fail tush push plays in Cincinnati Nick Mullins who Ved the local media Jackal on Wednesday uh said today he wished he had used different cadences presumably to minimize the jump the Bengals defensive line got so not only I mean this was just a Cavalcade of

ER so not only did did Kevin oconnell call the same play back to back using Nick Mullins who does squat 600 lbs like Jaylen Herz who and pushing with Brandon Powell the smallest guy on the team behind Garrett Bradbury who’s one of the smallest centers in the league using the same

Cadence so basically everything was the same from third down to fourth down and you wonder why you’re stuck and also just look at this still shot that penetration I mean they’re just no chance hate it hate over there man uh but uh the much maligned Vikings offensive line is still doing very well

In analytics so uh pass protection ratings composite put together by Ben Baldwin Vikings are still top dog at 81 uh now it goes 40% PFF grade uh sis blown block percentage 40% and then ESPN pass block win rate 20% and uh they’re all graded on a curve so if you’re the

Best in one of those various analytics uh you’re 100 da da da so the Vikings clock in at 100 for PFF 68 for sis uh as well as 67 for uh ESPN B papao putting them at 81 ahead of the bills the Chiefs uh the Packers as well as the Buccaneers

In terms of being in the top five for offensive line now the offensive line struggled a little bit during the dobs era I mean the Raiders game 18 pressures and five sacks all of them were on all five sacks were dos being taken to the ground a good portion of those sacks

Were on him uh the gave up 12 pressures and two against Cincinnati I mean they’re going to have to be holding strong long strong getting the friction on against the uh against the the Lions pass rush on Sunday and then ran Gary and the greasy grimy greenb Packers the

Week after that but I mean protect Nick Mullins let him distribute keep uh making holes and um uh Tai Chandler had himself a career day so I mean it doesn’t feel like that but I I feel like the Vikings are finally rounding into form with the offensive line it’s like

The Raiders game like how weird is it that you’re just like damn it I wish Ed Ingram would have played it’s crazy man but D Rosa is one of the best left tackles in the game uh O’Neal O’Neal is actually leading the league in pass uh pass block win rate I

Believe over on ESPN even though he gave up a fist full of sacks against the Bears and the Raiders uh Bradbury still like a top 10 adjacent Center is he going to rise is he going to fall don’t know and dton riser has been feeling it

Nicely left guard but it does seem like the Vikings are finally getting things right uh on the offensive line uh something that something else that people get right so the Chargers social media team is just amazing I mean what else would you expect from Hollywood up

To no good so Cameron Dicker the rookie kicker from Texas uh hook him baby uh so I think he’s from Texas it doesn’t matter uh but they’re trying to get him to the Pro Bowl wasn’t in the Pro Bowl last week because all he did was kick extra points against the stupid Raiders

H uh but it was amazing so um yeah yeah we can’t play the video but we got the the screen grab of it don’t be a d uh repost probo vote Cameron Dicker and basically it’s a better call saw like a completely over the top cheesy infomercial and it’s fantastic so go go

Check that out now I I love when teams are allowed to be creative and the charge of social media team it’s a when they did the anime schedule reveal it’s great man I love it uh something I also love is got a lot of love for Chris Carter Randy Moss uh Jerry Rice

System wide receiver uh top five wide receivers in NL history put himself at one to at two bias much uh Randy Moss a three Chris Carter a four and respect uh and the Megatron uh checking it at number five now you know why why would

You put to at two so to I feel like I feel like Tio’s personality sort of shaded how people perceive him and especially how the media covered him I think that too is probably top 10 wide receiver of all time would have put him

At two no uh but Al Tio had a lot of drop issues too uh but Tio like when he was on when he was dialed in like his performance in the Super Bowl for the Eagles against the uh against the uh against the Patriots when he had like

Nine catches on a leg that was just broken a couple weeks ago it’s amazing it’s amazing man but uh I would put Owens towards the back uh I would put Randy Moss at one I would put Jerry Rice at two I would put CC at three I put Fitz at four and the

Megatron at five and so that’s what we do but again what do Jerry Rice know about receivers man a little bit biased like he he’s just mad that Randy played in a Super Bowl with the ners too that’s it man that’s it uh speaking of the

Patriots so we are not doing this again uh so Mark Daniels uh beat writer for the Patriots call it to flake gate part two according to multiple saes NFL officials didn’t properly inflate the kick and balls at Gillette Stadium before uh Patriots uh matchup versus the

Chiefs we’re not doing this again we are not where the entire thing about deflate gate you know was Tom Brady aware that bows were being deflated below the accepted uh accepted window of PSIs I don’t know also who cares and it seems like it was a mountain no not not just a

Mountain like a mountain range made out of a mole hill and several NFL quarterbacks including Aon Rogers said that they do adjust the inflation of the ball Rogers elected pumped up above the the upper bound and it was just people wanted to hate on the Patriots because people hate what is

Successful and it’s exactly the same thing with Spygate it’s exact the same thing with deflate gate and we are not doing this again I I swear to everything it’s so also hey do you know why deflate gate became a thing because the Colts snitched on the Patriots you know who’s

The GM of the Colts then Ryan grion who’s currently in the front office with the Vikings so great fantastic so again you remember all those months and actually like almost a year actually probably over a year where every single story besides LeBron was about the flake

Gate how much did Brady know bich up there they’re say uh talking about uh my cousin Vinnie stuff blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I don’t care no one cared it’s terrible man we’re not doing that again uh something that shouldn’t happen so Lions fans like I understand that the

The lions are rising up and they’re probably going to be more formidable than the Packers and especially the Bears over the next couple years and could be Rivals for the Vikings yes uh but Lions fans have been through a lot and I respect it because there has been

Some very terrible Lions years but they’re still there they’re still loud they’re still proud all that stuff and now they’re going to get boned uh Dave Burkett beat writer for the Lions Dan Campbell asked about the Steep rise in Lion season ticket prices uh quote don’t

Put don’t put me in that spot I’m not in marketing technically marketing doesn’t set the price anyways uh I I I don’t deal with ticket prices I’m just trying to win games so yeah yeah blah blah blah blah blah football G answer sure but I feel bad I feel bad for Lions fans

Because now now their loyalty gets nothing so they get gouged potentially get gouged out of their seats but I mean it it’s the inelasticity of demand because people love their football and obviously if you’re a lion season ticket holder when this team was garbage yo that means your

Demand is very inflexible and you’re going to be paying you’re going to be buying it you’re going to buy the psls you’re going to pay the uh raise prices you’re going to pay the uh extra premium for premium games and it is what it is

But you feel bad where I’m so I’m an economist like I’m you know very much a free market guy but I I I just hate when like loyalty just gets spat on it’s like oh we’re suddenly good we’re suddenly doing the things that we’re supposed to do AKA assembling a winning football

Team and now we’re just going to Bon you we’re just GNA fist man sucks something also sucks is the grease of grime green by Packers but again I have my allegiances but also I’m a businessman so over on Zillow there is a house that you can buy in the Green Bay Area for

700k uh I looked at the listing it’s like a four four bed two and a half bath was a four bed two bath one of the two it’s like um is that 1,800 sare F feet unfinished basement I I don’t remember half time ahead but you look at the view

From the front yard so I mean it’s not even like I mean it’s like the postcard view uh of Lambo field so that that is kind of neat now if you were a huge Packer fan like would you live there I mean you know nine times a year when you

Have the extra home game I’m not saying you get a a playoff game so eight or nine times a year plus uh uh one or two uh preseason games like your your lawn is just trashed people just there’s so so much commotion although I’m sure you could

Make Bank off of a little bit of extra parking sure but what I would do so tear down the house it’s probably haunted anyways uh and then rebuild it and completely just make it like the like a a renters paradise and turn this into an Airbnb uh a couple weekends

A year or hell maybe in the offseason families just want to uh bask in the glow of Lambo field during the summer instead of going to the Dells or Door County they’ll just go to Lambo and just look at the stadium maybe they go to the overpriced Museum I don’t know who knows

Man uh but basically just make everything so hermetic just like all you have to do is just go in there and then just like hose it down I don’t know man but obviously Packers whatever but in terms of a good time you could have a lot of fun with

This uh you could make this into like the the party adjacent house you could turn this into the ultimate tailgate yeah yeah we ain’t going to do it we ain’t buying real estate in Wisconsin anymore uh but but that’s it uh Vikings news dump for this beautiful
