I heard an interesting take on KFAN before the Vikings/Lions game last week about Gunther Cunningham's quote . There was speculation Cunningham said what he did going into that game to praise Kyle Vanden Bosch, but also because he coached Jared Allen while at Kansas City, and wanted to get into...

conference record comes after head to head. Vikings would win that, since Saints play Carolina week 14.http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

This actually wouldn't be the first time for the Vikings. I recall some time in the last 6-7 years where one of our guards (may have been Mckinnie then) was called for 2 penalties in a single game for not being close enough to the LOS. After the game, someone on the opposing team commented...

Spot of the ball is the front nose of the ball. Safety is if the full football is not beyond the end zone line. When the ball is spotted somewhere around the 12" line, the back end of the ball will be over the end zone line. Result = safety.

Thanks much for the heads up. Due to this thread, I was able to put a sub in. Usually I'm away at church when this news hits, and its too late.

I wanted to expand on the bolded part. Over 99% of natural Uranium is U-238, so as a raw material it was readily available with relatively easy purification requirements.Also, the neutron doesn't so much as react with U-238, but rather, U-238 captures the neutron, thus becoming U-239, and within...

:confused: Wanting to puke is being bothered in my book.

FWIW, I assumed, and still do, Avery pushed the teammate away to avoid the "group celebration" penalty. I don't think that changes much though.

Spoke with my mother last night and I had a lot more family involved in the war than I ever knew. Wish I would have asked sooner, but better now then never. I'll be learning more details in the coming weeks/months. Here's what I know right now.???? - Battle of the Bulge Navy - Storekeeper...

Excellent content, thank you. Did anyone step up to fill in more about Enigma? Also, regarding personal stories, I had a great-grand-uncle who was always very coy about his involvement in the Pacific. He died about 8 years ago. What are some good resources to try and uncover his military...

http://www.twincities.com/vikings/ci_13458646?nclick_check=1 This article was in the paper yesterday. All the conflicting estimated costs is a mess. The MSFC says ~$750m to renovate the current site into a open-air stadium with all the modern bells and whistles. Add $200m for a retractable...

Thanks for keeping this going. I found Hitler's Panzers East: World War II Reinterpreted by Stolfi on my wife's book shelf from college. Is it worth the read? I read the first 10 pages and I'm not hooked.

Vid of Smoot's rejection. Didn't see beer, just got stuffed.

The movie I watched in the US was "Enemy at the Gates". Maybe it was released elsewhere under "The War of the Rats"? According to IMDB:

Loving this thread, catching up over the last couple days, up to page 9. One thing I'd like to learn more about, is how the industrial capacity of the major players contributed to events. At various points in the war, what were the build and loss rates for planes, ships, tanks, etc? Where...
