  Heard today that Detroit is looking to sign Za Darius Smith at the trade deadline.

[LPS]

Hmmm.

[glenn57]

looks like ZaDarius Smith got traded to the Lions.

and Adam Thelien got traded to the Steelers today!!!!

[LPS]

Oh really.  Waiting to hear if the Vikes did anything.

[fishwidow]

Good for Thielen. He’s been wasted in Carolina.

[LPS]

I agree FW.  I have felt bad for him dropping so far to a team like that.   So he will be playing with Russell Wilson possibly.  They would be good for each other.  You still hear things about us getting him back for a easy price and that may be fun too. Probably won't happen now.

[glenn57]

Pretty s ure he signed with Caroliin a free agent deal..  his choice to go there

[Cooperman]

Steeler signed WR Mike Williams from the Jets. Thielen is still with Carolina, and has been on injured reserve since week 3

I know we'd all like to see a "story book" ending for Thielen, but he had one hellofa career in the NFL.  He'll never be a Hall of Famer, but he and guys like John Randall are examples of men who made the most of their opportunity.

They need to have a different category in the Hall of fame for white guys who can catch the ball!

I call it! 

[Steve-o]

I would bet the least racist place in America is an NFL locker room.

I have no way of knowing, but I have to believe that if anyone has a problem with anyone else in that room - those issues get dealt with in real time.

[dutchboy]

Being a racist is what got Gruden fired. Wait, let me amend that. Goodell leaking specific e-mails is what got Gruden fired. Every single player and coach who was asked said Gruden is not a racist and the leaked e-mails were a vendetta by Goodell.

[glenn57]

lookin like the Bills are gonna hand Mahomes and company there first loss!!!

[LPS]

Good, always like to see them lose.

[Gunner55]

  Anybody else hear about this? https://abcnews.go.com/US/houston-texans-player-azeez-al-shaair-suspected-3/story?id=116381793

[LPS]

Ya I read about it.  He said he likes to hit as hard as he can and then hopes the guy he hits gets up and is ok. 

[Gunner55]

They kicked him out of the game & he started 2 brawls on his way off the field too. The league is really on his about that almost as much as they are about the hit. It will probably cost him at least 3 game checks which is $2 million for him.

as well it should 

I'm sure he copick up a McDonald's gig in the mean time   

[Gunner55]

Big game tonight...................no matter who wins..............it's good for the Vikings.    Would we rather be tied with Detroit ..................or 2 games up on the Packers?

[Steve-o]

That's the easiest decision in the history of mankind.  Tied with Detriot.  Then if the Vikes can keep pace with the Lions, and if they BEAT the Lions when they play, the Vikes would win the division.

[roony]

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas.

[Gunner55]

  Pretty close to 50/50 for me. 

[LPS]

Gonna be a great game tonight!  Go Pack is where I will be I guess.     Have to stop Detroit!!

[Gunner55]

  Don't think I've ever said that, I just can't get it out!!        

[LPS]

Ya I know right?   It did hurt a little.

[Steve-o]

The Packas are a hellova rival.  Their fans are insufferable with their smugness over having Hall of Fame quarterback play since before my children were born.

It seemed like Farve was always kicking the Vikings' butts, but overall he was just 17-14 against us.  It only seems worse because he was  8-4 against us in his last 6 seasons with the Pac. 

Rodgers was similar overall with a 17-12-1 record against the Vikes, but the worst thing I remember about Rodgers and the Pac was... even in the years they were supposed to be "rebuilding", they still gave the Vikes trouble and usually had a good division record.  In Rodgers' 13 years as starter, they were 1st in the division 7 times, 3rd in the division only 3 times, and never last. 

Even though Packers fans are still Packers fans, I can't work up any vitriol against Jordan Love yet.  Time will tell.  But for tonight...

Go, Pack, Go! 

[LPS]

I have never hated the packers, just didn't like them or their John Deere colors.  Nothing against John Deere though.  I like them.

[roony]

Unlike the Lions, the Packers are playing their best football of the season. This  should be a good game.
