Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Skol-pinion - Why did they cut (insert player that upsets you the most)
  • Jack - What's the likelihood that we actually move Mattison? How many years until we're led by the fearsome Luiji Vilain?
  • Charlie G - Is Nick Mullens capable of going 0 dark Lebron mode?
  • Bob the Pigeon - Should the Vikings sign Laquon Treadwell now that he is a free agent?
  • Don't Panic - Do you think Kris Boyd will be DPOY this season or barely lose out due to national media unfamiliarity?
  • Andrew Schad - If Kwesi brought every current Minnesotan back, how would that team fare?
  • Bryan Jellerson - Which AFC teams put off NFC vibes, and vice versa? (Arif's vibe corner)
  • Kevin Abstract Enjoyer - With Chazz Suratt gone, which quarterback should we bring in to play linebacker?
  • Bishop Sycamore Alum - How have we gone this long without having a couch watch QB listing? How many more years until the Hell league is the preeminent fantasy commodity?
  • Tim Rizzo - Can you describe why Luiji Vilain has the greatest name in Vikings history?
  • Brownz Massage Therapist Union - Mental health corner question about Hell league exclusion
  • JM - Gambling corner: favorite data sources for sports gambling
  • Kenneth Allen - With Kellen Mond gone can we expect the Vikings to roster Ben DiNucci? Also irresponsible speculation about Tom Brady's absence
  • Ulareon - Beekeeping corner: redistributing brood frames between hives
  • Nolan Kehler - Beekeeping/Legal corner: neighbor's bees stealing pollen for profit
  • Kevin - What is the worst airline in the United States?
  • Logan TC - Parenting corner: transitioning 2-year-old off pacifier. Also should he listen to the Rogan-Rodgers show?
  • Tank Bee - Esoteric Occultism corner: Mercury retrograde and full moon implications for season opener
