  Dorian Johnson cut by Arizona...

I am never "that guy" the bangs the drum to pick up other team's cut players, but I will be this time.

The Vikings should take a serious look at Johnson.  He slipped to the 4th because of a liver condition and apparently didn't play well for Arizona this preseason.  But he'd be worth a practice squad slot AT A MINIMUM.

  How does Jarius Wright Keep Dodging the Bullet?
Posted by: Tom Moore - 09-03-2017, 10:50 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (8)

He plays rarely in the preseason, he is deactivated for most regular season games, has a huge salary and does not play special teams.

Don't get me wrong, I like Jarius' skill set, but the team doesn't seem to use it, so why do they keep him?

  This time of year is always humbling
Posted by: VikingOracle - 09-03-2017, 08:56 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (1)

This time of year is always humbling for us arm chair GMs.  I was really disappointed by the Vikes UDFA pick-ups a few months ago and then 3 go and make the squad.  I thought the team really liked Tocho and he doesn't make the practice squad.  I have been a fan of Edmond Robinson and he gets cut (though, admitted, I wrote that he played poorly during the exhibitions).  Last year, I was all in on Tre -- gone.  I thought Jabari was going to stick on the 53 this year -- nope.

So, I have decided to keep my day job -- though I will continue to prattle on here.

  Thousands (millions?) die or sanctions...
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-03-2017, 06:43 PM - Forum: Sensitive Topics - Replies (1)

Not sure what else there is for any POTUS???
Mnuchin told "Fox News Sunday" that he’s preparing a sanctions package that would cut off “all trade and other business,” with North Korea, following the country's overnight nuclear test, its sixth and most powerful.
“I will submit new sanctions for his strong consideration,” he said. “There’s much more we can do economically.”
Such a bomb is considered more powerful than any of the five nuclear ones North Korea has already tested. And it apparently triggered an artificial earthquake of at least a magnitude 5.7.
“I did speak with the president,” Mnuchin also said Sunday. “It’s clear this behavior is unacceptable. … I will draft a sanctions bill and send it to the president. We will work with our allies. We will work with China. But people need to cut off North Korea economically."

  Read the Inauguration Day letter Obama left for Trump
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-03-2017, 05:56 PM - Forum: Sensitive Topics - Replies (4)

Full letterDear Mr. President - 

Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.

This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.

First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.

Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.

Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions -- like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties -- that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.

And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.

Good luck and Godspeed,BO

  Vikings claim tight end, lose 3 on waivers
Posted by: Kentis - 09-03-2017, 05:42 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (22)

The Minnesota Vikings were awarded TE Blake Bell on waivers from the San Francisco 49ers Sunday morning, adding to a position that has Kyle RudolphDavid Morgan and rookie Bucky Hodges.
Bell was a fourth-round pick of the 49ers in 2015 and had 19 catches for 271 yards in his two years with San Francisco. He played in 13 games for the 49ers last year.
