@matthewcoller.bsky.social the Wilfs watched their favorite team win two
Super Bowls as a 4 seed and a wild card. They are determined to follow that path; be “in the mix” and roll the dice, every season.

@matthewcoller.bsky.social I like the idea of aggressively getting Mariota to compete with JJ in the off-season, since we know the Wilf’s won’t allow the current roster to be the 2026 game plan.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Please remind our President? He seems to have forgotten.
This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

This is worst mismatch of season expectations to reality that I think I have ever had. And then the future being so murky now at QB? To quote another Minnesotan,”Good grief.” #vikings #skolvikes #singlemaltscotch

@matthewcoller.bsky.social what do you think the % chance is that the team brings in a no doubt, he’s the starter, veteran QB in the offseason?

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Trump welcomes MBS to the White House today to discuss a new arms deal.

Trump's family also has lucrative ongoing real estate deals with the Saudis.

He'll overlook the murder of Jamal Khashoggi to pad his pockets and boost the bottom line of the military industrial complex.

Anyone surprised that Trump is in favor of brutally murdering journalists?

@matthewcoller.bsky.social Culpepper sat for an entire year. Healthy. Drafted 11th overall. He did pretty well that first year he played. The coaching staff and GM are very aware their career depends on McCarthy’s success. They won’t wait “too” long. Let’s trust KOC on this one.

@matthewcoller.bsky.social I think people need to balance “7 of 8 Qs have been bad” with “1 Q absolutely won the game during his first ever start, also on the road, without key pieces.” Give him some games with a healthy OL of 1st stringers and his favorite receiver from training camp. #McCarthy

@matthewcoller.bsky.social your peers at PurpleDaily pointed out Vikings have 3rd highest depth of target through 4 games. Given O-line state since beginning of season? That’s almost coaching negligence, right? #vikings
