The Vikings D is dominating the Bears offense but you get the feeling this 8 point lead is insurmountable because the Bears defense is insane.

Seriously. During the first half I was saying it feels like the bears have a 20+ lead. And as much as I hate the titty kissing fuck he looked really good

Turned on RedZone just as they were showing the injury, so I didn't realize it was so awful until I'd seen it. I think his career might be over.

that's where I saw it. They showed it at least twice and then said something like "uh...we're not going to show that anymore"

wow RIP Alex Smith. Be careful clicking this link -gruesome leg injury

I started Let's Go and I love my Eevee (named Brutus) very very much. This is the best game ever made (way better than RDR2). If you don't get this game, throw your Switch in the garbage.

Yeah, I'm going to upgrade my processor soon

Somehow I'm still less than 50

I've been dressing up my Arthur Morgan. You guys should see his epic beard. I've been growing it out the whole game

That's an adorable name

That's exactly what he's saying

Nice meme from the twolves

Apparently the TV commentator said it too

Nelly is our biggest recent one but we also have Chuck Berry who is of course a legend. But that's all I can think of right now other than a bunch of other guys around Nelly's heyday who had one or two hits, namely Chingy and J-Kwon. Tipsy is so fucking bad though.

Nelly bangs hard

I read that the Wolves are only playing Prince songs in the arena tonight. I don't have a strong opinion about Prince but Minnesotans definitely have a way cooler famous musician than we do.

Ours is like, 3OH!3 or something, who are just terrible. Actually the real answer is probably The Fray in terms of overall fame but I remember 3OH!3 was like a point of pride here for a while, cause The Fray are too boring to care about

I just remembered 3oh3 somehow did a collab with Katy Perry so I guess they did make it pretty big

It's mostly because minnesotans love to circlejerk about being minnesotan.

A lot of people hate those new prince themed jerseys but I think they're cool

Anyway, here are Minnesota's 3 most important and famous musicians:
3. Prince
2. Bob Dylan
1. Owl City

Oh yeah I remember that post now. I forgot. I do care though which is why I asked. I care so much sometimes I feel like my heart will burst.

You're quite the homeless (autocorrect, but I'm leaving it) romantic today

E. (Which I already posted, nice of you to care)

Sucks to be you. I ordered it yesterday and they said it'll be delivered Tuesday. Then today I got an email that says it'll be here tomorrow!

I would have done the exact same thing. You would have been a buzzkill for correcting her friend's analysis and looked like a weirdo for knowing a lot about the game

If I was a GB fan I would want McCarthy's head on a plate but something tells me he won't get fired

Eevee

Eevee's Twitter dance moves won me over as well

This 49 year old guy "collects" baseballs from target field and is a huge dbag and idiot. Grow up Peter Pan!

Is this stupid pokeball plus thing worth it

just read about it a bit: short answer no

are you guys getting pika or eevee. I guess I'll order now it because I hate myself

I'm not too sure about that. It worked out pretty well for both teams.

The Timberwolves are 2-0 since trading Jimmy Butler and the 76ers are 0-1. Did Philadelphia do the worst deal in the history of trade deals?

I liked the Colbert Report but I've never watched his new show, just seen a couple clips. Pretty meh

Stricter gun control is not the answer. Bigger, more efficient drive thrus and not only restaurants but every public place is the answer.

So you paid for the food and left without it?

Apparently open carry is legal in MN (did not know that... just googled it) but I've never seen anyone do it before.

All these guns are why I usually just do the drive though

Here it was cold and snowy the first couple days of October and then we got actual 40/50 degree fall weather the rest of the month. Now it's straight up winter. Does it really get 80 in February in Missourah?

It's 23 here, snowed yesterday

I think I'd rather do the early shift as well. I've had friends who were servers and they'd complain about someone coming in 5 minutes before the kitchen was supposed to close and staying for like 2.5 hours

Half a day when I was thirteen. I was working in a field picking onions at a farm. Each sack we would fill would get us a quarter. It was way too hot and the sacks too heavy to continue on. So at lunch break I just went home.

My dad this when he was younger too. He has the weirdest list of jobs out of anyone I know.

Chewster posted...

My most common ones are 8 hours starting at 7 am, but sometimes if I have to close it's like 9+ and might start at 8 instead

Is it more of a breakfast/lunch place or do you just not work the dinner shift?

How long are the shifts and what times of day?

I worked at a Target for like 3 months while I took a year off school. I didn't want to deal with customers so I stocked shelves/did stockroom stuff. The work itself wasn't so bad (listened to a lot of books on tape) but it started at 4am which was terrible. Kind of a shitty thing to do but I just stopped showing up, which I think is pretty common. During "training" they said if you don't show up one day they won't bother calling you. Got a new job a couple days later

I found my cool one too. I'm pretty sure I tweeted this at Kev/Bri. Also one of Freese when he played for the Angels

I actually have a couple.

One was from earlier this baseball season. A group of us had cheap Twins tickets, and were trying to meet up with a group of friends who had lower level tickets. It was around the 5th/6th inning in the Twins were getting blown out by the Brewers, so we walked down to the field level around 3rd base. Usually you have to show your ticket before going into that part of the ballpark, but we somehow snuck by and sat in some empty seats by our friends, but shortly after, the ushers/security found us and asked us to leave, so we did. As we were leaving, this guy behind us said something like "I'm a season ticket holder and we're leaving, but if you want our ticket stubs you can sit in our seats the rest of the night"
He gave us 4 ticket stubs (thanks Tony) for some seats right by our friends. We got into the line to enter the lower level of the field, and the usher kind of rolled her eyes at us and said "Ok fine, but you have to sit in these assigned seats." We hadn't been misbehaving or anything but I get the staff was just doing their jobs.

[this isn't related, just me bragging] A few years ago, a friend from high school asked me if I wanted to go to a Twins game because his uncle had good seats and I was like yeah sure. Turns out they were 3rd row seats against the Angels right next to the dugout. I would see into the dugout and hear the first base coach throughout the whole game which was really cool. I also saw a sports news lady do the Ice Ice Baby dance in the dugout between innings, and she pulled it off.

another time, when the vikings were playing in the outdoor college stadium before their new stadium was built, I was at a preseason game and there was a huge thunderstorm and tried to get everyone to evacuate. We didn't evacuate (just hung around in the concourse) and sat in the first row behind the endzonefor the rest of the game, after the game finally resumed. It was cool (saw a TD right next to us) but it was just a dumb preseason game.

What the fuck is this

Lmao who would do this. Why

That sounds identical to Twins/Timberwolves standing room only tickets, where you're not assigned a seat but after 15 minutes of game-time you can stroll down to one of the top 10 rows and take one of the many unoccupied seats.

I don't know why you guys are talking about who's going to win the Super Bowl. It was decided in week 9 when the Packers lost to the Patriots. Continuing the trend from 2010 and 2014, the Packers will win the Super Bowl. History is on our side.

If this happens I will become a Packers fan. Not because I'm really sure it won't happen, but because of the old philosophy "if you can't beat em, join em"

RIP Stan Lee

Rest In Peace Stan Lee

I know the Vikings will get embarrased by da Bearz on primetime. Reasons why:
1. It's the Vikings
2. It's primetime
3. They rarely do well at Soldier Field
4.Why not?

Lol George Dubya did a weird interview on Sunday Night Football

I've watched a couple Titans games this season and they're one of the most boring teams to watch this year.

(Secret Brag: I don't work tomorrow and I'm stoked to stay up obscenely late getting deluxe baths in Red Dead)

O shit it finally happened

Great celly. Maybe he should be their coach too

I was looking at my parents house camera footage and found this biatch #PS4Share https://streamable.com/gdxor

This is a stupid question but is the main reason for the wildfires in CA lack of rainfall?

Plus he was a 2 time cover model

Joe Mauer announced his retirement, which isn't a surprise to anyone, but something kinda interesting is that a few hours ago a guy on the Twins subreddit broke the news seemingly before any reporter or the Twins organization did (Twins just did 20 minutes ago https://twitter.com/Twins/status/1061038726095216640)

I read that subreddit casually, but I recognize this guy because he posts all the time, seems to know a ton about the Twins, and is pretty grouchy/rude. But he was right and said it before anyone else..makes me wonder who he is and how he got his sources

here's the original post if it interests anyone
