The biggest thing, is that it's just going to be really uncomfortable for everyone involved.  It'll be fun to watch, but man, I'm glad I'm not out there (or even in the crowd lol).  

Yeah, compared to what they're forcasting for Charlotte next Sunday, that is absolutely horrible.

Yeah... It's the same temp where I live today that it will be in Minneapolis Sunday. I just took my garbage out and it's f'n cold and I'm used of this crap. I have to think Peterson will be strapped with some sort of heating pad so his back can stay loose but even then, I can't even imagine how sore these guys are going to be.

You can layer up all you want but sitting there and not moving for 3 hours makes it impossible to stay warm. Really starting to regret my decision to go down for this game.

Anyone who says that the Vikings haven't played in those conditions...well, last year we played them and the high was 12 degrees, and they seemed to play alright.  What's crazier is they studied the game and found that there was a 20 degree difference in temperature from one sideline to the other...Let me reiterate, there was a 20 DEGREE DIFFERENCE from the home sideline to the visitors sideline.  Seahawks fans can downplay the weather all they want, but the Vikings have played in this kind of weather (or atleast close to it)...the seahawks have not and it more than the game, the weather will push their will to the absolute limit.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
