    Spielman and Zimmer are both staying next season per Ian Rapaport. One more year to see if this can work...
  2. Vanimal46
    Firing Zimmer accomplishes the fact that this team is consistently out coached and not prepared for big games.
  3. Vanimal46
    I'm with you. Zimmer continues to be out coached by every good team and it's time for him to go. However, when a GM makes a bold move such as signing KC to a fully guaranteed contract he's also on the hook when things don't pan out. It comes with the territory of making such a bold move. He should be out too IMO.
  4. Vanimal46
    And there's your dagger. The defense didn't stop them at all today. And Zimmer's seat is heating up.
  5. Vanimal46
    Remmers having maybe his worst game in a Vikings uniform today.
  6. Vanimal46
    1 first down. $84 million QB. 2 of the best WRs in the league and supposedly an explosive RB.
  7. Vanimal46
    Wile is the MVP today
  8. Vanimal46
    One team wants it so far. It's not the Vikings.
  9. Vanimal46
    I can't wait to replace both of these guards. Compton let him through untouched.
  10. Vanimal46
    Sigh.... Yep. Been a while since the Vikings had a good start to a game.
  11. Vanimal46
    Kendricks and Rhodes inactive. Other than that, full steam ahead!
  12. Vanimal46
    Not Vikings related, but Teddy lost all of his momentum as the hot QB free agent today. Him and the Saints are getting torched by an unknown QB and the Panthers who had nothing to play for.
  13. Vanimal46
    Talent still wins out. If the #5 starter isn't MLB caliber, and most have not over the last decade of Twins baseball, they're still going to deliver bad results. With the opener or stacker approach, they'll just provide 80 innings of 6 ERA ball instead of 160 innings of 6 ERA ball.
  14. Vanimal46
    Hmm, does he want more years?

    If I was sitting behind you get used to my knee driving into the back of your seat

    His 30 day negotiation window closes on Jan 3rd so we'll see how hard they kicked those tires.

    This should be 100%. If it's not a red-eye flight keep your seat upright.

    I concur with you on your assessment. Teams can try to move players around the field to create 'flexibility' but there's always a cost. It's reasonable to expect he won't be as good defensively in the OF as he is at 1B. And he wasn't particularly good at 1B to begin with. So to recoup some lost value playing out of position, he needs to be really good with the bat to make up for it. He's not particularly good with the bat either. If he clears waivers and sent back to AAA they can play him at catcher for all I care. I don't want to see this experiment at the MLB level.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer having him start since it's so damn difficult to find it and he showed the ability to do so last season. Mejia could be a decent multi inning bullpen arm.
  21. Vanimal46
    Biggest blunder Glen Taylor has done: 1A: Paying Joe Smith under the table 1B: Giving Wiggins a max contract
  22. Vanimal46
    I'm getting deja vu from 2012. Win and in, and all indications are the Vikings having to play the same opponent next week. The Vikes defense is dominant at home. Best in the league in most every defensive category that matters. The Rams are probably going to steam roll the 49ers so the Bears will start resting their players by the 2nd half I would imagine.
  23. Vanimal46
    Wow... This excerpt really hits home in the article. As many as 34% of ER visits lead to out-of-network bills in Texas. Way above the national average of 20%. When we have our employer-provided healthcare meetings twice a year, the insurance reps certainly don't prepare you for that. All they say when they're on-site for assistance is to ensure the hospital you go to is in network. And ask questions whether the drug they're prescribing is necessary right now - or if we can obtain it as a generic drug later.

    The current landscape is very difficult to navigate. When I was unemployed for 4 months it was somehow cheaper to pay the COBRA rate than switching to ACA by a wide margin... The COBRA payments weren't cheap either: $400+ a month for a $10k deductible single plan. I'm fortunate to be healthy and not have to go to the doctor at that time.

    This topic won't go away anytime soon, and there are many layers to this system that's faulty. Example #1: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-hidden-system-that-explains-how-your-doctor-makes-referrals-11545926166?mod=e2tw
