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.

Look at This Awesome Old Vikings Sweater
Look at this god damn thing. It's a work of art. The deep purple, the kingly gold, the horizontal stripes. It's like whatever grandmother knitted this reached deep into my wet dreams and retrieved this from the ether to display it so finely on a weird ass mannequin. Not that I'm complaining. While I'd love to wear it, I will also gladly ogle it like a picture of Jennifer...

I’ll go...

As a Vols fan, it was nice seeing a former player go in the first round of the NFL Draft after another abysmal year.However, that doesn't mean the pick will work out.When the Vikings took Cordarrelle Patterson 29th overall, it seemed like a good move until they revealed what was given up: a second, third, fourth and seventh round pick.
