Good morning Horners! In the final show of the day, to celebrate the merger of the Daily Norseman and the Climbing The Pocket Network, Good Morning Gjallarhorn comes at you again with this “short” story where Dave picks on Aaron Rodgers. One thing we love to do is Minnesota Vikings fans love to do is to pick on the Green Bay Packers. We all watched a few weeks ago or so, when Aaron Rodgers was embarrassed on national TV by one of his linemen, David Bakhtiara. Shortly after that, across the nation, and across Vikingsland, players and fans alike took up the beer chug challenge. Even some of your favorite Daily Norseman hosts did it as well, and even for some charitable causes. Watch this old man's strength, and a few decades worth of practice, put that quarterback from that team from Wisconsin to shame. Also, catch the quick war story about how to defuel B-52, and laugh.

Good morning Horners! We have a special Good Morning Gjallarhorn "short" for you. Our very own beloved Ted Glover following the victory of his hometown St. Louis Blues started to discuss with Drew Bunting how the Stanley Cup was the toughest trophy in all of pro sports [team sports] to win. I disagreed and said the Lombardi is. The debate was on… A good chunk of us being raised in the frozen north, know both sports well. Football and hockey players were always admired for their toughness. In professional sports there are athletes across all spectrums, but football and hockey were the impact/collision team sports. Ted and Drew took the side of hockey being the toughest, the long season, the multiple games in the playoffs, the hits, etc. I felt however, due to recovery times, size, and the different nature of football, including a smaller playoff field, it was. The Blues won their first trophy in their history, and we know where the Minnesota Vikings sit in their goal to achieve one. The 2019 season might be th

Good morning Horners! The old crew is back in the saddle again and in this episode, we talk about team bonding and fractures in the locker room. Starting out with a look at the Green Bay Packers, and how it seems that there may be dysfunction already, or at least the potential there for quite a bit. Ted Glover and Drew Bunting break down what they see for them this season. Dave compares Aaron Rodgers to Joe Flacco over the last two seasons and how this will definitely affect how the division shakes out in the Minnesota Vikings can win it. As Gary Kubiak's role for the Vikings comes into more clarity, and enthusiastic discussion broke out of whether he will be a sounding board head coach Mike Zimmer or more of a quasi-offensive coordinator taking that job from Kevin Stefanski. The guys at GMG are curious as to what you think about this new dynamic? We look at the offensive line, which we all agree should be an improvement over last year, but wonder if it will be enough.

Good morning Horners! Have you ever had one of those days that just didn't go the way you would plan? Well, in episode 51, that's exactly what happened. It started off with a host of Locked On Vikings, Mr. Luke Braun getting together with us to discuss possible ways the Minnesota Vikings could make some cap room to sign their number one pick, Garrett Bradbury. That's when things started to go awry. Just prior to recording, Vikings nation received the word that Bradbury had indeed signed, the next question that came out is, “where did they get the money?” As discussed, it turns out that Eric Kendricks had to “take one for the team” and was given half his salary in the form of the signing bonus, spreading out the rest over the remaining years of his contract. Well, this is good news, because everybody was suspecting that Kyle Rudolph would have to be traded or cut to make the space. There'd been plenty of written speculation leading to that. That won't have to be the case now, and as we heard later in the week,

Good morning Horners! Your beloved Minnesota Vikings have completed the 2019 draft with 12 overall selections and plenty of transactions to get there. Ted, Drew, and myself bring you the recap and the only way grizzled old fans can. Be prepared for some fascinating and absolutely humorous analysis as we dive into some of your favorite picks. Not since 1965, has four offensive players been selected with the first four picks by the Vikings. Those household names included Jack Snow [WR], Archie Sutton [T], Lance Rentzel [WR], and Jim Whalen [TE]. This year soon to be household names started out with Garrett Bradbury [C], Irv Smith [TE], Alexander Mattison [RB], and Dru Samia [G]. 1965 was a very long time ago, and to our senior fans that remember that far back, I salute you. For the rest of us, join in the enjoyment of learning about this year's selections. Obviously, Gary Kubiak had a huge influence over the Vikings direction during this draft. Known for his offensive mind and scheme, we can see the direct effe
