2-0, Lions, Pack, And Bears Say "Oh Crap!..."


 
...the Vikes are one of the best teams in the league. 

The Vikings victory over the 49ers was hella impressive. The Vikes were the better team against the top of the class in the NFC, straight up. The Vike's composure held in the midst of taking haymakers from the 49ers on both sides of the ball. This was a heavyweight fight and the Vikes came out victorious. This wasn't a fluke, in my opinion, this Viking squad is impressive. If the team stays healthy the sky is the limit.

Let's Go Purple!

Vikes 1-0, Uncle Sam Performs Well

 


D Feasts, Van Ginkel Pick 6 for the Dagger! Aaron Jones is who I thought he was, thanks Pack! Uncle Sam gets it done in game one. 

Kirk is who he is Falcons 0-1.

Gull/Crow Wing River Plan and Rods I'm Bringing


 The Plan: I drew Snatcher Rookie Tyler for my boater. I think if we get any smallmouth it will be accidental. Plan A is to frog 'em up. Plan B: Jigs and spinnerbaits if they are not hitting on top.

Goals:
1. Catch a bass that goes at least 5/8 
2. Get a limit. (I have never caught a limit in any of the the previous four Snatcher tournaments on a river.)
3. Place in the Top 5
4. Win Co-Angler Cash, and both Lunker Pots

Rods I'm Bringing:
7'4" H Tatula Elite (Frog)
7'4" H Tatula (Frog)
7'4" H Tatula (Toadz)
7'4" H Tatula  (Worm)
7'4" H Zillion (Punching)
6'10" H Tatula Elite (Braid) (Jig,Spinnerbait,Buzzbait,Chatterbait)
6'10" H Tatula Elite  (FC) (Jig,Spinnerbait,Craw Texas Rig)
6'10" MH Tatula (Swim Jig, Chatterbait)

As Unlce Sam Goes, So Does The Vikings Season


 The NFL season is almost upon us. The Kirk Cousins experiment ended in a whimper. I didn't think JJ McCarthy would start this year and his unfortunate knee injury ensures that is the case. So we are left with Uncle Sam to lead the Vikings to the promised land this season. I don't much about Uncle Sam other than he was Drafted 3rd in 2018 by the hapless Jets. This is probably Sam's last chance to prove he can be a trusted NFL starting QB. The Vikings O has weapons and a QB Guru Head Coach. I think he is going to open some eyes; His arm talent has always been there. It's decision-making and talent around him that have always held Sam back. Knowing this is his last best opportunity to make it will certainly concentrate his mind. He is older and wiser. If he stays healthy I think it will be a breakout season.

As Uncle Sam goes, so goes the team. Don't crash the car, man!
