1. Dude! Dude!!!

2. we get to roll over three days, but I'm not sure what the point is if I'm always rolling three days over......

   1. I probably shouldn't mention the amount of leave time I am burning on the way out the door....

      1. Oh, that's a special circumstances

   2. We can roll over six weeks

3. I checked my bank account this morning and realized I got paid again today after getting paid last week. I assume it's because of the merger and the payroll system cutover that's coming 1/1. There's no extra money, I just get it a little early this time.

4. RIP Pelé 🙁

5. Watching the Gophers and Syracuse tear the shit out of the Yankee Stadium turf. Gophers lead 14-7 at halftime.

   1. Yea, that turf looks really bad.

      Watching thanks to a 7-day free trial of fubo.

   2. Unless your field has heat coils under the turf (think Lambeau or Target Field) probably shouldnt be playing on real grass in the Northern latitudes this time of the year

6. Chili oil in process. My kitchen smells fantastic.
   

   1. Cooling.
      

7. Property tax refund filed. Already earmarked for wedding expenses. /sigh

8. Way to go, Gofers. 12 men on the field negates a game-sealing fumble return.

   1. So elated and then minnesota doing minnesota things

      1. Also wtf are Big Boy Mowers.

         1. Manscaping tools.

            1. 🤦‍♂️

         2. Bad Boy Mowers appear to be super-cool zero-turn ‘Merica mowers.

9. Always knew when I graduated high school that the Gophers were going to be the next Minnesota team to win a postseason game at Yankee Stadium. https://t.co/hP89htqajW

   1. Ouch, but fair.

10. On a play-to-play basis, Minnesota simply isn’t very good. They rank 25th overall with a -9.4% DVOA, where their average-y offense and defense are dragged down by atrocious special teams, which rank 28th. By EPA/Play they are almost perfectly average on offense, where they rank 17th with -0.0002, and on defense, where they rank 14th with +0.006. Everything in their underlying numbers screams that they’re a .500 team.

    So where is the luck coming from?

    Yes, the Vikings are frauds but what exactly does that mean?

    A stat-sy Packers fan breaks down the Vikes.

    1. I didn't hear any Packers fans complaining that the Vikings underperformed their stats last year.

       My take: the talent on most NFL teams is pretty equal so having a coach that knows how to manage the clock is the difference in many games. The Vikings finally have that.

       1. Tots agree with you because money

       2. I’ve often thought that game plan, adjustments and coaching are way underrated in the NFL. Just looking at all the unexpected outcomes and dramatic shifts in the course of a game and season has me convinced that great players are important, but only so far. As examples…Lions, Jaguars this year. Teams can put things together.

    2. 12-3. There's my statistical breakdown.
