I know this is totally off the topic but I don't know how people call nascar a sport you sit in a car and go in circles 500 times how do they train? with a steering wheel with weights on it? I must be a pretty good athlete because I drive to work everyday I guess so I just never got into nascar

nascar is like basketball, wait til the end and then it will get exciting.

little island dud, ever use your brain?

the hit on fergy was a cheap shot and i would say that even if it happened to a viking!

It was pretty brutal, but I don't think the results were intentional. He was just looking to get the tackle, and you do that about any way you can. And yes, I would say the same thing if that happened to moss, wiggins, or burleson. It's all about timing, and Darius messed his up, he didn't time it right to get a clean tackle.

Big Island,

When it seems everybody else disagrees with you, at what point do you stop and think that maybe your wrong? If one is offended, maybe they should toughen up, if all are offended, maybe it was offensive. Just a different way to look at it. No judgements.

I played football through high school and secondary. The game is fast and sometimes you don't realize what your hitting or grabbing. I don't think it was intentional.

Some times a face mask feels like the front side of the shoulder pads. He could have been attempting a tackle on the shoulder area and got the neck instead! He only had a split second to place his arm out, and thats just where it ended up...

I think the hit on ferguson was a legit attempt to tackle him/defend the pass. If I remember correctly they were both in the air and if his arm would have hit 4 inches lower, everyone would have just called it good defense. Personally I think the fine is rediculous. I have seen facemasks that looked worse (and could do more damage) than that and they are a 15 yard penalty with no fine. This is all overreaction to a fast paced play in a fast paced game.

Okay I'm sure to draw the ire of some Nascar fan(s), but since I've never been one to bite my tongue... Nascar racing has got to be the most simple minded TV watching ever! I have tried not to stereotype but it just doesn't help... Just about everybody I've met that likes Nascar is either a redneck or lives north of Hwy 55 (not including west of 494) I call this the "Instant stupid line" I can't imagine spending any time watching this kind of programming.
Those are just my thoughts, feel free to drill me for my love of football and hockey
... we all just have different tastes I guess.

Buzzsaw, I live north of hwy 55 and I am plenty smart. Also, I agree nascar is NOT a sport. At least I am not a 612'er. grin.gif

Elylake.... sorry.. it was more in reference to the Northern metro suburbs of Anoka, Andover, coon rapids, brooklyn park, brooklyn center etc... It's just a stupid thing me and a few friends have managed to hang on to since our High school days. It seemed like every time I would go inside of these city limits I would either see a Calvin sticker with him wizzing on another make of a car or a nascar sticker... it just kind of stuck that anything "locally" north of Hwy 55 was the "instant stupid line". I know it comes off as offensive... heck there are plenty of redneck stickers just south of Lakeville where I live. Take it all in good fun.

Anoka Redneck here. I don't care for them those Nascar folk much neither. I feel that it is the poor man's tennis. But instead of the back and fourth head motion, its more like a circle motion.

Happy new year to y'all.

Be safe and y'all north of Hwy 55 stay away from your sister if you have too much to drink.

Oh yeah Go VIKS

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
