Spoiled, punk kids...sheesh!  Electronic mail not good enough fer 'em!  Never had no Why-FI in my day!  14.4K was good enough.  Sure porn loaded slow but it was worth the wait!

I'm think more like Clint Eastwood...

@MaroonBells Looks like we follow similar guys on the tweeter. What's your nandle good buddy.

@"Canthony" said: I am sure that there is more going on than any one of us knows. But saying he is jealous of Theilen is funny. I dont think that is the case at all as Diggs knows he is the better receiver. 

Throwing away a WR that takes doubles on a regular will be a tough pill for many to watch next season. Especially with Adam coming off that "torn" hammy and not at all looking the same after that. Add that to he will be 30 before next season starts. 

Be careful what you wish for

Could you provide some specific examples where Thielen was not at all the same as before? Looked like vintage Thielen to me vs the Saints.

But, for argument’s sake (and this is a legitimate question from me not sarcasm), please someone tell me why Diggs is pissed? Is he mad about his contract and his numbers compared to his best friend Adam’s numbers? Is he mad about not getting the ball more? The offense Zim wants to run? Does he dislike Cousins so much that he wants off the team? Is his jock too tight and we’re over the cap and can’t afford to get him a new one??? What’s the reason???

I know this kid is emotional and a hot head and loses his cool at less than great moments, but if anybody thinks Thielen plus a rookie plus Bisi Johnson is going to set the league on fire next season I think you’re sorely mistaken...and I love Thielen a ton, but he can’t do it alone...I guess I just hope all this drama works itself out over the next few months, because otherwise it’ll make me nearly as sick as when we traded away a certain other receiver back in the day...

I am right there with you. I feel like this is a whole lot of nothing because this is the deadzone in regard to football news. It is amazing and ridiculous how many clicks and hits this is getting. We'll have to wait and see what happens. That's all there is. There are sports shows that devote time to analyzing a players tweets and Instagram. That is the reality but we don't know until we hear from the team and nothing is coming from them right now. I'll believe it when I see it, until then it's just speculation.

I don't understand how Diggs antics are automatically classified as "toxic" and "unnecessary". Did nobody see the Broncos game where his antics single handily got the team amped up and back in the game? Obviously there are some examples that come off as more negative, but nobody knows what was said in those conversations.

And did anyone notice how raptly Diggs was staring at Cousins as he gave his You Like That? speech after the Saints win?

The dude is passionate. High performers usually are. Amazon is not a fan of my volatility but they tolerate it because I'm an ass kicker. And I'm 49, people. Stefon is still a young man. 

And he's not even in the same zip code as the real divas like Ocho Stinko or TO. A lot of you would keel over in your seats if Minnesota had an actual cancer on their roster given how you all react to a serial social media over user.

Ha! That's not surprising. But I actually don't tweet. Been on the tweet machine for about a year and I have exactly zero tweets and 0 followers. I just got an account to read stuff.  I have been thinking about contributing though. If I do, I'll let you know. By the way, listened to a podcast this morning from our old friend Dave Te Thomas. Opinionated and unconventional as always....some takes...

Jordan Love is the best QB in the draft. Burrow is at best Tannehill, at worst, Bortles. Hurts will be playing in Canada. Herbert is Joey Harrington (he's been saying that for 2 years). Likes Tua a lot. Compares him to Steve Young. 

Stefon Diggs WR, Minnesota Vikings

damn if that is not the truth

Chad is on Twitter, here. Count him as someone who believes Stefon Diggs is trying to force his way out of Minnesota and isn’t sure how he, or anyone else, could take his antics any other way.
Greenway played with Diggs for 2 seasons and said in this same interview, that Stefon was a great guy on and off the field. He also noted that Diggs was always bought into the team when they played together and that he worked hard. Greenway also said what all of us already know… Stefon Diggs craves attention, a lot.
Stefon Diggs is also jealous of Adam Thielen. Greenway all but said that. Chad thinks Diggs is sick of hearing about “Thielen and Diggs, Thielen and Diggs” and wants to hear, “Diggs and…. everyone else”.

The "jealous of Thielen" angle has really struck me as a very unbelievable angle of this overhyped "story", but...a lot of Diggs' messages suggest he wants to play around his native Maryland area, so could he be jealous of Thielen's unique fortune to be the hometown hero of his NFL team? I guess that could translate into, "Thielen gets more fan love and jersey sales just because he's a Minnesotan" - which is probably true but Thielen is hardly undeserving. Diggs might be disappointed if he gets his wish because he may not realize how rare it is to have a Minnesota athlete who is truly among the best in one of the big 4 pro leagues. We get about 1 per decade - Kevin McHale, Joe Mauer, Adam Thielen...more if you count hockey but I'm not sure Neal Broten or Zach Parise have the same mainstream recognition. I think there are far more pro athletes from the Maryland/DC area.
