Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Don from Ohio - Will the Vikings actually win a home game this year? Will Arif get any trade offers on his Hyundai while it is on IR?
- Jack Rackham - We already know the Vikings will find a way to lose this game. What embarrassing, historically unprecedented way will they do it?
- Cody - Over the offseason there was a lot of talk about the Vikings being a more run-centric team that used 12 or even 22 more often. With the injury to Jefferson, could you see the Vikings deploying these types of personnels more often? Could this be the case against the Bears?
- EbowlaCheese - For Arif's Receiving Corner: If JJ returns and gets 2k yards, does that go down as the greatest WR season of all time? Or will he be knocked for missing 4+ games, since the best ability is availability?
- Damian Barrett - As I'm sure both of you have been glued to the rugby world cup over the last month, do you agree that the NFL should adopt one of it's ancestral sport's rules and have extra points kicked from where the TD was scored from. If not for the Hell League content alone!
- Magickman - Question for Arif's conspiracy corner: In the last show James made an offhand comment about how Ed Ingram is a spy, or a double agent "playing for somebody." This got me thinking, who would benefit the most from Ingram sabotaging the Vikings? Is Kwesi running a bounty program for turnovers and sacks?
- Nolan Kehler - For the intersection of North Code and Arif's Beekeeping Corner: how would you solve this? [CBC news link about bees off truck in Burlington]
- AllTwentyQ2 - What's more embarrassing: getting blown out in front of Taylor Swift or her skipping your game entirely? Also can Ed Ingram catch a ball or do he and Chase Claypool have the exact same skillset?
- Norse Context - What would be the minimum Arif would accept to have exclusive guest appearances on Pat McAfee's show?
- Ted Glover - If you had to fight a real bear with no weapons which one would you choose?
- A Hyundai for one of us is a Hyundai for ALL of us - For James's relationship and holiday corner, as we know from past years there is a tradition in some houses to put up their Christmas trees on Halloween. How do I set boundaries with my new wife to ensure this never happens in our house?
