  Think Zimmer was Pissed after the Game Sunday? See this
Posted by: Tom Moore - 09-21-2017, 07:04 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (16)

Here is a slowed-down 10 second clip we took on Sunday of Mike Zimmer walking into the locker room.  We all know he is intense, but off the field, he's a pretty nice guy.  But, he is staring right at us as we film him, and when he is in a "mood", he feels like he is staring through you.

  VikeFans 10 Second Clip of Bradford - Was he Limping?
Posted by: Tom Moore - 09-21-2017, 07:01 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (2)

We took some of this shot before the game, and the last part as he was walking into the locker room after the game.

Sam is very quiet in general, but he talked to no one either time.  He was clearly disappointed, and it sure seemed he wished he could play.  He was limping very slightly, and he constantly has security next to him.  You approach him, and security will back you down.   This is true for Sam and Teddy - they are truly off-limits unless it is Fox National or pooled interviews.

PURPLE PERSPECTIVE


“Vikings announce Sam Bradford, ruled out for today’s game vs Pittsburgh Steelers…” That was the alert on my phone after leaving church on Sunday minutes before the Vikings game. There was no way we would win this game now I thought. Okay, optimism still rules me, but a loss would certainly not ruin my day or week. Cancer already did a fine job of that. Saturday I attended the funeral of a young girl AVA who died two days before her 12th birthday. That was difficult to say the least. It kinda ripped the joy out of everything for me. Rest in peace sweet Ava. While it was heartbreaking and emotional to see her parents and sister go through this journey there was joy in knowing that this girl led a special life and touched so many people. She honestly changed my life and the lives of many who she came in contact with. She loved sparkles, the more the better. Pink, Purple were her favorite colors and we sprinkled those colors (glitter) on her casket. The vault the holds the casket was painted like a zebra and the funeral procession was a cross between a wedding procession (cars, announcing the bride and groom) and a regular funeral procession as we “rode” our way through the small iowa town passed her house and to the graveyard. One last ride through town. It was a Blessing to experience.

It appears that when the Vikings list a player as injured we can assume the worst. I don’t mind not getting the straight story from the coach, but anytime a Viking is listed it’s probably worse than what they are saying. It was obvious that they still had high hopes for Sam playing, because the alternative well there is none. It’s hard to yell next man up when it appears the backup is just not effective and I called him backup because I can’t think of his name off the top of my head and that’s scary. It’s also apparent that this defense cannot carry this team to victory. I think that game was very winnable with a healthy Sam, but with the uncertainty surrounding that knee it looks like we are in for another long year. After witnessing Ava’s short life there are better things to do and worry about. tempus fugit memento mori

So now that there are no expectations left for this team, it’s time to move on to Tampa Bay or at least home to defend USB. SKOL VIKINGS, LET’S WIN THIS GAME!


WEEK 3 IS HERE

  Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford: 'I've been through a lot with this knee'
Posted by: purplefaithful - 09-21-2017, 11:11 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (9)

“I’ve been through a lot with this knee,” Bradford said. “I’ve played through quite a few different bumps and bruises with it. I think every time that I’ve done that, you just know. I don’t think there’s a checkmark or a benchmark you’ve got to meet. You’ve got to be able to play quarterback. You’ve got to be able to do what the position requires you to do. If you’re not able to do those things during practice, it’s hard to be able to do them during a game.”

  Why The Latest GOP Health Care Plan Is The Best One Yet

I can get on board with this.  Why should my SD ideals be forced on people in CA, MN or other blue states.  If they want cadillac coverage then they can have it.  I am quite certain that SD will likely screw it up, but  they will screw it up in favor of lower payments for the majority,  not the other way.

By the way,  how many knew about the CON laws on the books in some states?   the kind of flies in the face of the ideals that this country was built on. not saying that anti monopoly laws have always been enforced,  but restricting competition for an industry that records record profits.... kinda sounds fishy to me.
