Us locals darn near grew-up with him...

Ralph Jon Fritz, the long-time WCCO sportscaster, has passed away after a long struggle with stomach cancer. He was 78. Mark Rosen, who worked for decades with Fritz, said his friend never forgot the fact that he was a small-town kid from Sleepy Eye, Minn."He never lost that folksy, homespun way of doing his work," Rosen said Wednesday. "Cornballish? Yeah, sometimes. But Fritz could pull it off."

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago predicting this and added a Poll.  I am just going to throw out the question what percent chance do you think the Vikes end up 14-2 and with the top NFC seeding?

I am going to stick with my prediction this team is only getting more dominant on defense and precise on offense.

Here it is...  the latest and greatest...  Well.... maybe not greatest.  I’ve got a cold and running at about 85% so....  

Enjoy!  






hmmmm.....  not working...  



Still not working....

This comes from the article on Gedeon
https://purpleptsd.com/ben-gedeon-is-def...ectations/

Obviously
the article focuses on Gedeon and how he has exceeded expectations in
the run game.  But to me, the two gfycat images are more about the
unselfish play of the defense.  And more surprisingly at the willingness
of Trae Waynes to stick his nose in there.  He said to have a lack of
toughness, not a willing tackler from what I remember of his draft
report.

But look at the two images. 

Is he at the facility working/rehabbing?   Is he in meetings?  At practice?  Games?

Does anyone in the know - know?

This came up on another Forum so I thought connected folks like Tom Moore would know.

Thx

We had these two the last time I posted.






The blond one went to Canada with a single lady. She’s doing
great.
 





That left us with Sammy.








My wife had tried to drop him off for transport to Pennsylvania
in October but he freaked out and she brought him back home. We went out of
town for a week so we had him stay with another foster lady and he did really
well.
 
Fast forward to Thanksgiving week. Sammy is scheduled to
transport on that Friday. On Wednesday I take him to the vet so he can get
clearance for transport. I get there at 9:30 and find out the vet won’t be in
until 10:00. I had a few errands to knock out so I leave him there. I barely
get out of the parking lot when they call me and tell me that Sammy got loose
and he’s hiding under a sink and won’t let anyone near him. I go back and he
comes right out, tail wagging and happy as a clam.
 
I stayed with him until the vet comes and he’s given the
green light. I tell the vet that I don’t see any way possible he transports
Friday. Me and my wife talk about it. She wants to at least try and I’m like “good
luck”.
 
She takes him Friday. They try a few trial runs loading him
in the van and then give it a shot. He seems to be alright. She comes home. We’re
both a bundle of nerves. We really got attached to him.
 

















My wife keeps in contact with the van driver. He keeps
reporting back that Sammy’s doing really well. They get to Pennsylvania and his
new foster family falls in love with him. They‘re sending pictures of him
getting belly rubs and treats. So, everything’s cool. Eases our mind. They’re
gonna take him to see his sister (who we fostered before him) and we’re looking
forward to hear about that.


While we had Sammy, we got this guy. He’s about 7 months old
and was just dropped off at a shelter.














He’s gonna be a GREAT dog for someone. He transported to
Vermont about 2 weeks ago. Very sweet, good-looking dog.

Getting the vikings on TV for the 5th straight week.  It is good to be relevant
