Minnesota Vikings have trouble spots looming?
By most standards, the Minnesota Vikings did a pretty darned good job in the 2013 NFL Draft, but one cylinder on the defensive side may have misfired. Staring any number of needed linebackers in the face during the final stages of Round One, the Vikings managed to move back up into that late first round gold mine and select……a wide receiver. The long term upside for the...
RED ALERT: Shirtless Vikings Do Harlem Shake Video
If that headline doesn't work for the internet, then nothing will.
What you see above is a picture from a video from Vikings players proving that the Harlem Shake phenomenon isn't QUIET dead yet. Unfortunately. It also proves that Harlem Shake videos are only enjoyable when they are shorter in length, and when they involve shirtless NFL players doing them. I also can...
Jared Allen isn’t about to take a pay cut: ‘if anybody asked me to take a pay cut, I'd be through the first door out of there’

Jared Allen says the Vikings haven’t asked him to renegotiate his contract
The Star Tribune caught up with Minnesota Vikings defense end Jared Allen and asked him if he was asked to renegotiate his contract this past offseason.
“You use the word restructure and that to me makes it feel like they’d want me to take a pay cut,” replied Allen. “And if anybody asked me to take a pay cut, I’d be through the first door out of there. So no. We haven...

Christian Ponder to Sign Stuff So I Can Give It To You
OK people, I'm not going to lie. This post is total corporate shill, but it's for a good cause. Namely, you may get free stuff out of it! And it's weird from my perspective, so we're totally rolling with it.
Word around the burning Metrodome campfire is that Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder will be attending a grand re-opening of a Champs Sports location at...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Working out at the team's facilities, Minnesota Vikings receiver Greg Childs smiles widely, displaying a supreme confidence and looking nothing like a player in the midst of an intense rehab from a potentially career-ending injury.

Is Minnesota’s Christian Ponder the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL Quarterbacks?
Somehow, I know quite a few Minnesota Viking fans. A common trait they all share is their displeasure — bordering on embarassment — in regard to Minnesota’s starting quarterback, Christian Ponder. “We’d be fine if we had a better quarterback” is a phrase I’ve heard more than once from more than one disgruntled fan.
I must be honest and say that I haven’t spent a lot...
