Thread: vikings bears post game
Dang bleedpurple, someone pee in your Cheerios? Maybe just a bit harsh on a fellow PPOer. It is a bit of a connundrum, but I think teams have to try to win to maintain the integrity of the game. Do you want Peterson to sit out the rest of the games so we have a better chance of losing? Does he not have personal goals and incentives to perform well in every game? Are players not playing for their jobs and livelihoods? I can see playing players down the depth chart to see what we've got once the playoffs are out, but deliberately losing ain't right. And if teams do it, they should be penalized by the league and lose draft position. People can tell if a team is throwing it. I want my team to bust their asses to win everytime they step on the field. The draft isn't the cure all to end all in and of itself- other management and personnel decisions are just as important. Getting a top qb pick isn't iron clad anyway. Plenty of damn good qbs have come in later rounds- probably more than have come in the top one or two picks. And plenty of bad ones have come in the top several picks. I liked beating the frickin' Bears and I hope we beat theRavens Sunday.

I was a bit passionate with my comment but it wasn't meant to offend... and to the rest of you.. I think you somewhat missed my point...
I am all for guys like AP, Cassell and the rest of them playing their asses off for the sake of winning and finishing strong... I don't blame them for wanting to win.. I said that in my post in so many words... Additionally, if I was on the team of course I'd play hard and try to win.. Hell I lost 5 straight in fantasy football to end the season.. still made the playoffs but I wouldnt' check out regardless of if my team was in last place.. I'm gonna try and win...
As a fan of my team, I am separating myself from wanting to win and the reality of us needing a Qb badly and missing on one time and time again... If that guy was on the roster then that's different bc then you want him to improve, but I'm tired of bringing in guys past their prime to try and get us over the hump...
So yeah, deep down, I do want us to loose so we can get a better draft pick and get the QB we need. esp, since the playoffs are out of reach and there are quality guys available... back in 2011 that skins win killed our chances of getting a franchise QB or a ransom of draft picks...

Knowing our FO we could miss on that guy, but atleast we can all be happy and optimistic about that guy for a few years instead of us all being pissed like when Ponder's name was selected.
the draft is no exact science but getting a better pick helps.. Plus, there are currently 3 other teams in front of us that need QB's so we either get the 4th best prospect in the draft or mortgage the future with draft picks to move up 2-3 spots like the skins did... I dont' see good options here.

Picking early in the draft only means your team sucks and the men doing the picking are likely the reason why.
If ownership is incapable of learning from their mistakes or not even able to recognize those mistakes, the franchise is screwed.
Hire a new GM and give him the power to hire and fire the coaching staff.
Its starts with the QB.
The way I see it is you have to find a Franchise QB. Some teams lucked out and find him in the 3rd. However that is rare. It's not likely. Forget Brees (top of the 2nd), Wilson and Manning. You want a franchise guy you are better off swinging for the fences as high in the first as possible (im not talking about taking the 8th best QB in the first). It's simply. You can stock a team full of late first round Wrs and succed as long as you have the QB. Look at Greenbay... they have been getting crushed since Rodgers went down. WHy? They have a team full of late round players but without a QB....its all for naught.
Things I know are true:
1: Frazier is a terrible Coach.
2: Musgrave is a terrible Coach.
3: Williams is....you get the idea.
4: The Wilf's need to be bought out/replaced. All of them.
5: Christian ponder is NOT the answer. He's not even the question.
6: Adrian Peterson is amazing.
7: Matt Cassell is not the future of the franchise...but he's the best we got right now.
8: Getting Freeman was a waste.
9: I almost cried when Walsh missed that FG.
10: I almost shat when Gould did the same thing.
11: I did a little happy-dance when we beat Chicago.
12: The Packers still suck.

The Gig Harbor Tides defeated the Stadium Tigers 6-3 on a sunny Friday afternoon at Gig Harbor High School.
The Tides rode the momentum of a three-run bottom of the third and held on for the victory. Senior pitcher Conor Scanlan got the start and gave the Tides (8-2 overall, 5-1 Narrows League 4A) a productive outing, limiting the Tigers to two runs in three innings. For the most part, Scanlan said he was pleased with his start.
"I felt pretty good," Scanlan said. "I've had a few starts this year and I think it's just going to get better and better. We had some unforeseen difficulties, I was off a little bit. I had to fight through it. Good thing I have a good offense behind me and a fantastic defense."
Head coach Pete Jansen said Scanlan was pulled after three innings because of his high pitch count and some command issues, which he'd like to see rectified. Still, he said he was happy with the outing.
"He's a competitor," Jansen said. "Any time he goes to the mound, we're comfortable that he's going to get the job done."
After building a 3-2 lead going into the home third, the Tides' offense exploded. Scanlan began the inning with a double off the left field fence, and Quintin Carlson quickly brought him home. A Drew Barnett sacrifice fly and third baseman Sterling Brown's RBI extended the lead to 6-2, which the Tides hung on to for the rest of the game.
Before the season began, Jansen and some of the players mentioned timely hitting as their primary focus going into the year. At this point in the season, the bats have come alive.
"We've got some younger guys who are in their first year on varsity, and I think they're adjusting fantastically," Scanlan said. "We emphasize it in practice, we work a lot on hitting. We have a naturally pretty sound defense. We pound it in the cages and we're always working on the field, so we're definitely working on it and it's showing."
Jansen said the Tides are producing on offense and defense.
"We've been getting the timely hitting, so that's what's really nice," Jansen said. "We've been getting a lot of hits and we've been playing excellent defense. We've been making the routine plays quite often ... we're even making the really nice plays."
While the Tides appear to be firing on all cylinders, Jansen still wants the team to be sharper.
"I would like to improve on limiting mental mistakes," Jansen said. "We've been working a lot on two-strike at-bats. We want to put the ball in play, we don't want strikeouts. We've done that for the last couple weeks — there's been a big improvement. We want to put the ball in play. We might not get a hit every time, but it's better than striking out and walking back to the bench."
Scanlan said he'd like to see continued improvement and better understanding in different situations at the plate.Jon Manley: 253-358-4151 email@example.com Twitter: @gateway_jon

Forget about it perhaps being an unlucky omen that the Chiefs wasted no time making Andy Reid the 13th head coach in the team's 53-year history.
Look at it more as a positive sign that, in 2013, the team's new head coach couldn't be considered more tailor-made for a franchise starving for stability in the worst way.
The first new head-coaching hire of the new year after also being the 2012 campaign's first reported "Black Monday" victim, Reid, who turns 55 on March 19, racked up seven division titles, one conference championship and 10 postseason victories in his 14-year run as the Eagles' winningest coach in team history by a wide margin (130-93-1). He had one five-year stretch (2000-04) in which he won at least 11 games each season (including one trip to the Super Bowl).
In that same 14-year span, the Chiefs managed only 98 wins, three postseason appearances and zero postseason wins under five different coaches.
In addition to the Chiefs not winning a playoff game since 1993 and having five losing seasons in the past six years, the front-office failings of GM Scott Pioli, who "mutually parted ways" with the Chiefs before the Reid hiring became official, had taken a mighty toll, creating a tense, divisive atmosphere — both within the organization and with the team's increasingly bitter fan base.
That considerable turmoil, exacerbated by the suicide of Chiefs LB Javon Belcher at the team's practice facility after murdering the mother of his 3-month-old daughter, is expected to quickly dissipate with Reid in control of everything football-related while answering directly to Chiefs chairman/CEO Clark Hunt, who saw a perfect fit in Reid on a multitude of levels, right down to his coaching stint a couple of decades ago at the University of Missouri, 120 miles to the east of Kansas City.
The 3-13 Eagles team that Reid inherited in 1999 was very similar to this year's Chiefs, scoring only 161 points and getting outscored by 183 points under the direction of Ray Rhodes, who, similar to fired Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel, had far better success as a defensive coordinator than as a head coach.
Within two years, Reid had the Eagles riding on a smooth, steady playoff track.
Can Reid, who agreed to a five-year contract with the Chiefs, follow in the footsteps of Jeff Fisher, who just finished taking a 2-14 Rams team in his first season as head coach and making it instantly respectable at 7-8-1?
"I think they can win 6-8 games — if they get a quarterback," one team insider said. "That's the deal. There's talent there (five Pro Bowl selections, including starting AFC defenders Eric Berry and Tamba Hali). They just couldn't string two first downs together."
Added a leaguewide talent evaluator, "Hiring Reid was a good move but not a great move. He never won a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, and there's no reason to believe it will happen under his leadership. He will bring stability and probably a couple of division championships, but the Broncos, with (executive VP of football operations John) Elway and (QB Peyton Manning) at the helm, are a lot better right now at the top of the heap (in the AFC West).
"They've got to decide whether or not to go with a 3-4 or 4-3 (scheme) on defense, and they've got a lot of starters who are going to be free agents. I see them being at least a couple of years away.
"They've got a long way to go."
An immediate concern for Reid and a revamped front office that is widely expected to include Packers director of football operations John Dorsey as Reid's right-hand man (Reid and Dorsey worked together under Ron Wolfand Mike Holmgrenin Green Bay from 1992-98 and have maintained a close relationship) is which direction they will go with the first overall pick in the upcoming draft.
"It's got to be quarterback," the Chiefs insider told PFW. "I know it's a bad year for that position, but (Donovan) McNabb was not seen as the No. 2 pick in 1999, either. Reid will target a guy and make the pick. He also was a big trader in his day – few teams made more – so he could move down and add picks, (which) would make sense. But someone has to want to come up, and it won't be anywhere close to a RG3-like deal."
There are many reasons to believe the Chiefs will focus first and foremost on the QB position.
Neither Matt Cassel, who has proven to be a greatly overpaid disappointment, nor Brady Quinn is expected to be long for the team.
Add the fact that an eye-popping six first- or second-year QBs were among the 12 starting signalcallers entering the postseason (counting Minnesota's Christian Ponder, who came up lame just before the Vikings' wild-card game in Green Bay). Then consider the special touch Reid has displayed with a host of QBs, ranging from the high-profile Michael Vick to journeyman A.J. Feeley.
However, there are others on the national scene projecting that Reid will use the first pick on another position, perhaps left tackle.
"I don't see a quarterback in this class being worthy of the top pick," the evaluator told PFW. "(Former first-round OLT Branden) Albert was a sore spot in the previous regime and has been very sporadic. The left tackle class looks strong this year, and they could find a guy who could cement that spot for the next five years."
In any event, in Andy Reid the Chiefs trust, as a fresh start kicks in big-time for a franchise in dire need of his saving grace.

Authorities in Alabama and Tennessee are working together to solve a series of murders that left seven people dead in two states, including an unborn child.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said Wednesday that investigators are following evidence from four crime scenes that they hope will lead to an arrest or allow them to issue an alert to the public for a suspect.
Helm said the investigation has found that one of those who died, Warren Vincent Crutcher, knew the other victims.
Three women, a toddler, and an unborn child were killed at two homes in Fayetteville while a man, Jeffrey Pope, and Crutcher were found dead in Madison County, Alabama.
The bodies of 22-year-old Chabreya Campbell (who was also pregnant), her 18-month-old son, Rico Ragland, and 21-year-old Amber McCaulley were found inside a home on Huntsville Highway in Fayetteville, Tennessee, Monday morning.
A few hours later, investigators found the body of 21-year-old Jessica Brown in the home she shared with Crutcher and their newborn child, on Fox Wood Drive.
Sources confirmed Crutcher was beaten and shot. Two of the victims in Lincoln County, Tennessee did not die by being beaten, shot or stabbed. Investigators did not say how the victims died.
Helm said Crutcher had former or current relationships with the three women and was an acquaintance of the man.
An acquaintance of Crutcher said he was dealing in heavy drugs, like cocaine.
Neighbors in the area where Crutcher's body was found in Hazel Green are uneasy after the recent violence. Many of them said they are armed and will not answer the door if they aren't expecting company.
Lincoln County Sheriff, Murray Blackwelder, said these murders were isolated and the public does not need to fear for their safety.
"I understand people being nervous. I understand them being scared, because of the unknown. You know I don't feel like the residents of Lincoln County or Madison County, either one, should be concerned with their safety because this was not a random act," said Blackwelder.
Multiple jurisdictions of police faced unique challenges as they tried to unravel seven murders discovered at four different locations in two counties in two states this week.
"When it involves two separate states and multi agencies, that just complicates it that much more," said retired Huntsville investigator Bill Davis.
In this instance, four victims were discovered at two locations just outside the city of Fayetteville, Tennessee, placing them in the jurisdiction of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department.
The situation was rendered more complex when a sixth victim turned up in the city of Huntsville, jurisdiction Huntsville PD, and a seventh was found in Hazel Green, Alabama, where the Madison County Sheriff's Office has been investigating.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is involved as well.
This is not a significant problem, according to Davis.
"We've got professional agencies that are involved and they work very well together," he said. "We've worked together on many occasions with these other agencies plenty of times."
Davis further said the public should be neither surprised nor concern by the lack of detail in police reports. Police were reticent about releasing the cause of most victims' deaths, for example. While Huntsville victim Jeffrey Pope's death was publicly described as a shooting, investigators only said that Hazel Green victim Warren Crutcher's death was not a suicide.
"You can't release the information you gather at the crime scenes, especially at this time," Davis said, "because that information may come up later on in court."
But the need for help from the public, Davis said, has remained constant.
"You may get 100 tips," he said. "None of them may work out. But, then again, four or five may. And the tips actually do help out tremendously."
A reliable source said a person of interest is being questioned about the killings but has not been charged. Due to the sensitivity of this case, we are not releasing the person's name at this time.
Funeral arrangements are set for four of the victims.
The funeral for Campbell and Rashad will take place Tuesday at Saint Bartley Primitive Baptist Church. The service starts at 11:00 a.m.
The funeral for McCaulley will take place Saturday at the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in New Market. The funeral starts at 1 p.m.
Memorial funds have been set up for Campbell and McCaulley. They are at the Redstone Federal Credit Union and called "Chabreya and Rico Campbell fund" and "Kynslee's Future."
Warren Crutcher's wake will be held Sunday from 9:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. at Mount Zion. His funeral will be the next day in the same location at 1 p.m.
Jeffrey Pope's funeral service will be October 29 at noon at the Saint Mark Baptist Church in Huntsville.

Well fitting super light core insulator.
- Light
- Good fit
- Large armpit holes (helps breathability)
- Short hem (torso) length
This vest is 800 fill with a lighter ripstop shell with dwr finish. It has two internal dump pockets, (great for gloves or something you want to keep warm or dry out) and two fleece lined zippered hand pockets (down on the outside of the hands when inserted.)
It has a drawstring hem with cord locks and a 3 inch fleece lined collar. I got a medium and the fit is snug (5.10 175 lbs) but the larger arm holes alow lighter layering underneath without restriction. The larger arm holes also allow great armpit venting and this makes it a great layering piece. If I was goiing to layer more than a light shirt underneath I would size up to large, but as a core insulator it should fit snug to trap heat.
It is very compressible and light, very pleased with the quality. I wish the vest was a little longer at times in the torso, especially when I wear it without an over layer.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The Mont Bell Alpine Light Down Vest gets roughly 10% lighter and softer without sacrificing durability! Functional mid-layer's flaunt characteristics essential for comfortable backcountry activity: optimized warmth to weight ratio and exceptional compressibility. The secret to the warmth of these garments not only relies on the high lofting 800 fill power goose down, but the inherent wind shedding ability of the silky 20-denier Ballistic Nylon shell. By blocking a large percentage of wind, a relatively light layer conserves the heat your body is naturally producing. Designing outdoor clothing with warmth to weight ratio in mind is great, but we also like to think the Alpine Light pieces succeed when it comes to warmth to dollar ratio.
- CampSaver.com refers to the men's version
When your alpine ascent requires additional core warmth, the Montbell Men's Alpine Light Down Vest is there for you at an inexpensive price. And just because it's inexpensive doesn't mean it's lacking. You stay warm when you belay your buddy with 800-fill goose down insulation toasting your core. Ballistic fabric wraps up this wonderful insulation with a surprising amount of durability too, so you get to keep this vest for many years. And you can compress this beauty into its stuff sack when the weather warms up on the wall. The Alpine Light features elasticized cuffs to prevent those blustery winds from breezing in, and a drawcord at the hem keeps in all that wonderful warmth. A microfleece collar offers all-day comfort that won't rub against your chin uncomfortably. And Montbell lined the hand-warmer pockets with fleece to keep your hands cozy as well as warm when you get to the top of that mountain.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The state of Minnesota is ready to make good on some of its IOUs to public schools.
Minnesota budget officials will reveal Monday how much back-pay will be going to schools. Lawmakers temporarily shaved more than $2 billion in payments to schools in recent years to patch holes in state government's budget. Much has been paid back already, but the outstanding bills still are in the $800 million range.
With the improving state economy, schools are first in line for any excess tax collections. A law passed last spring gave finance officials until Monday to determine what was left after the last fiscal year closed on June 30th.
School leaders are sensitive about the payback, fearing that money previously committed to them will be perceived as a windfall.

Greenberg Associate Professor
Biographical Information
Ph.D., 2003, University of Chicago; M.A., 1997, University of Chicago; B.A., 1984, Brandeis University.
Professor Green's interests lie in the history, literature, and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, particularly as it was adopted and interpreted by Jews from the Second Temple through Byzantine periods.
Her book, The Aroma of Righteousness: Scent and Seduction in Rabbinic Life and Literature (Penn State University Press) investigates rabbinic interpretation (midrash) of perfume and incense.

David Hollenberg - Arabic Language & Literature
Assistant Professor
Biographical Information
Ph.D., 2006, University of Pennsylvania
David Hollenberg's research interests include the relationship between canon and community, scholasticism and manuscript culture, and sectarianism in Islam. His book project, Beyond the Qur'an: The Ismaili Exegesis of Ja'far ibn Mansur al-Yaman, explores the role of allegoresis in the formation and maintenance of early Isma'ilism. Drawing from theories of esotericism and cognition, he argues that through ta'wil (allegoresis), the early Ismaili missionaries demonstrated that their Imam alone could strip the external husk from all manner of sources and show the initiates reality in its pure, unmediated form, an imaginal world to which they alone had access. Dr. Hollenberg is also editing a critical edition of Ja'far ibn Mansur al-Yaman's Ta'wil surat al-nisa'.
Professor Hollenberg is the founder of the Yemen Manuscripts Digitization Initiative (ymdi.uoregon.edu). YMDI is devoted to preserving the manuscripts of Yemen, the largest number of unexplored Arabic manuscripts in the world. This collection is threatened by the uncertain social and political conditions in Yemen. Under his direction,YMDI recently received a $330,000 National Endowment for the Humanitites/Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft grant on behalf of Princeton University Library and Free University, Berlin, to digitize and disseminate 267 codices in private libraries in Yemen and from the collections at Princeton University Library and the Staadtsbibliothek, Berlin.
His previous publications include "The curious objects of early Ismaili ta'wil: eclecticism as an interpretive strategy," in The study of Shi'i Islam: the state of the field, issues of methodology and recent developments Edited by Gurdofarid Miskinzoda (I.B. Tauris in conjunction with the Institute of Ismaili Studies) (forthcoming), "Neoplatonism in early Fatimid doctrine: a critical edition and translation of the prologue of the Kitāb al-fatarāt wa-l-qirānāt (The Book of Periods and Conjunctions)," Le Muséon, July, 2009, and "Disrobing Judges with Veiled Truths: An early Ismaili Torah interpretation (ta'wil) in service of the Fatimid mission," Religion (April, 2004). He is currently co-editing The Manuscripts of Yemen for the Brill "Islamic Manuscripts and Books" series with Dr. Sabine Schmidtke of Free Unviersity and Dr. Christopher Rauch of the Staadtsbibliothek.

The dating website called Ashley Madison has a slogan: "Life is short. Have an affair."
Ashley Madison specializes in helping people cheat on their spouses.
On Tuesday, advertising executive Kathy Rettke, a west suburban married mother of two, testified how she met Allen Kustok through the dating website.
It was September 2010, just days before Kustok's wife Jeannie would be found shot to death in their Orland Park home. Rettke testified Kustok used the name "nothing ordinary" online.
Rettke and Kustok met for lunch, where she said that they talked mostly about Kustok's daughter Sarah, a sportscaster, because Rettke was a big sports fan. The lunch ended with a kiss.
Two days later, Rettke was visited by detectives who wanted to know why her phone number showed up on Kustoks' phone. She had even texted him three times just hours after prosecutors say he killed his wife, to end their marriage.
Allan Kustok told police that his wife shot herself in the face. Prosecutors hope to refute that theory with a blood spatter expert who's expected to take the stand later this week.
