Adam Thielen is the best wide receiver in the NFLThielen had 11 catches for 123 yards in Minnesota's victory over Arizona on Sunday. He's the first player in 57 years to open a season with six consecutive games of at least 100 receiving yards. His 58 catches are an NFL record for the first six games of a season. He has caught a touchdown pass in four of the Vikings' six games.
Graziano's verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION. This isn't new. Vikings teammate Stefon Diggs is great, and will always be the Minneapolis Miracle guy, but Thielen's been outplaying him for more than a season and a half now. He finished fifth in the league last season in receiving yards and eighth in catches. It's no surprise Kirk Cousins has locked in on him. He might not get the pub that Antonio BrownDeAndre HopkinsJulio Jones and Odell Beckham get. But if you're lucky enough to have Thielen on your fantasy team, you know he's playing better than all of them.

Yes. Is Crockett really the same without Tubbs?

Are the Avengers the same with just Thor or just the Hulk?

Is a PB&J sammich the same with only one ingredient?

Neither would be as good without the other.



The Hulk doesn't need Thor. Hulk smash. 


Thanos would beg to differ.


Wasn't a fan of that scene. No way in the comic book version would Hulk get his ass handed to him like that.


Thanos would beg to differ that as well. *adjusts nerd hat*...... Hulk's only real weakness is being taken by surprise before his rage works him up to be unstoppable. That plus Thanos uses basically cosmic energy, which Hulk is not immune to, and is a universe-level badass with it, means Hulk while he can smash a physical planet, would lose to Thanos 8 out of 10 times... before the infinity stones.  Give Hulk time, though, and he can resist even beings as huge as Prime Evolutionary (who basically made Adam Warlock) and even gross application of cosmic energy (to whit, Silver Surfer).

Ok---sounds like it's been a long time since I've read a comic book or been to a movie

Stay off my damn lawn

I'd love to see Galactus get involved at this point now with Thanos, but won't happen and it wouldn't be much of a battle. As for the Hulk, yes the madder he gets the stronger he gets, but to basically get defeated in what? 10 seconds? Its never happened, no matter the foe. I read Marvel and DC comic books growing up, heavy on Marvel. I know the graphic novels of the last 20 years things have changed, but.....
