As we get ready for the game across the pond, the speculation will continue about the QB situation. I think it will play itself out. In the meantime, how about some Irish sayings/proverbs?
Here’s health to your enemies’ enemies!
Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.
Don’t be breaking your shin on a stool that’s not in your way.
Men are like bagpipes – no sound comes from them until they are full.
Always remember that hindsight is the best insight to foresight.

The quarterback is preparing for his second start with the Vikings, and he’s soaking up every bit of coaching, insight and experience he can.
“Every rep, every practice rep, every walk-through [rep] right now is, I want ’em all,” Wentz told Twin Cities media members Thursday afternoon. “I want ’em all and to get ’em all on film. I want to talk to coaches and just get their feedback.
“The game was huge to kind of see that play out live, but I’m still hungry for just understanding as much as I...
