Really?     It ain't that bad of a behind-the-scenes look at the past season from the QB perspective.   

I'm two episodes in and it is pretty good.  I figured with baseball still on break, why not. 

[Bobberineyes]

I would definitely check it out but I aints got that kinda time. As a matter of fact our TV in the summer comes on bout news time, and goes off a couple hrs later. No retirement here...

[LPS]

I haven't checked it out yet but will eventually to get my football fix.

[dutchboy]

Can't care even a little bit about football when it's baseball season.

who do you follow during baseball season Dutchy  Minnesota doesn't have a real pro baseball team!!

[Steve-o]

It wouldn't almost be time for Vikings training camp without one of these...   

Vikings rookie Jordan Addison cited for reckless driving after going 140 mph: police

Addison was driving a Lamborghini Urus on Interstate 94 around 3 am

[mike89]

you got that right!!!   drama round what???   

[LPS]

Where does one even get that kind of mentality to do something like that????   What a loser.  Put him in jail like they would do to me. 

[Jerkbiat]

Well, I guess I certainly could not be one to cast stones at him. I was young and dumb too. I just wasn't caught. 

[Boar]

Thank yu jb, id put most nfl player s to shame if i listed my dumb stuff as a youth

[LPS]

I never had a car that could do 140.  Thankfully.   

[mike89]

broke the speedometer in my 63 Impala twice..   slowed down after that ..   

[glenn57]

  maybe i'm not on the same page..........i never did care for high rates of speed in vehicles, 4 wheelers or snowmobiles. 

[Steve-o]

We all thought we were invincible at that age.  Difference is...  We had no idea of what we stood to lose due to the consequences of the stupid stuff we did. 

P.S.  If I had a Lamborghini, for sure I'd need to figure out what it could do.  I just wouldn't do it in the middle of town.

My friends car did and I just had to try it out on a county road in the middle of the night.

[savage270]

Hope he is that fast running a go route.

3 am is probably the safest time to try that with no one else on the road.

I'm impressed the cop was able to catch him at that speed.

Can't out run the radio...  Good thing the young man was smart enough to pull over when he saw the flashing lights.  It could have been a lot worse for him.

I saw a movie where James Bond ditched the Italian Police by racing his Lamborghini thru Naples, but I doubt Jordan Addison has the driving skills to escape St. Paul's Finest in Frogtown.

[LPS]

We did it on country roads where there was not much traffic.

[KEN W]

Even James Bond would get caught now. We went on a bus tour of Europe a few years ago. Those countries now have cameras everywhere. They clock your speed. You don't get pulled over. You get a notice in the mail as a ticket and ordered to pay your fine or get your license suspended. We didn't see anyone speeding.

[Jerkbiat]

Next step is they will be mounting the cameras in their homes.

[Steve-o]

Next step is they will be mounting the cameras in their homes.

With Alexa and Siri, they already have microphones.  Just sayin...

The worst thing that we have is our smart phones. No Alexa.

[LPS]

No Alexa here neither.

here ya are!!!

[glenn57]

all over the news ex Viking Everson Griffen was arrested over the weekend for a whiskey ticket........that feller has some issues. 

he was a hellofa football player in his time............maybe to many bumps to the ole noggin me thinks!!!1

[Gunner55]

They signed a OT from the Rams, Evans, who is # 3 behind O'Neill & Snyder a OG that's listed as #2 behind Cleveland yday. They also brought in another TE/Thompson that doesn't even appear on the depth chart, so most likely a practice team guy.

Vikings great Jim Marshall misses latest chance at Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Hall's senior committee cut from 31 to 12 semifinalists for the three senior candidate spots for the Class of 2024, and Marshall was not on the list.

Marshall played in 282 consecutive games – a record for a defensive player by 58 games – made two Pro Bowls and was credited with 130.5 sacks before sacks became an official stat in 1982.
 

Here are the other guys that made the cut this year:

Roger Craig, the former 49er running back who ended his career with two seasons as a Viking, is among the final 12 up for consideration. Joining him are Ken Anderson, Maxie Baughan, Randy Gradishar, Joe Jacoby, Albert Lewis, Steve McMichael, Eddie Meador, Art Powell, Sterling Sharpe, Otis Taylor and Al Wistert.

I know there are lots of guys deserving, but c'mon, man.  Marshall should be there.  He was the original iron man, never missing a game.  Hell, he was in the league so long, he started playing before they even kept close stats of who played and who didn't.  Maybe he was also hurt by the fact that the Vikings never won the Superbowl (which shouldn't affect him, but it does) or maybe that he was the only player in NFL history to run back a fumble the wrong way for a safety.
