The Morning Hangover - Done Deal Chatter

The Vikings acquired Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen from the Chiefs for a first-round pick (No. 17) and both the Vikings’ third-round picks (73rd and 82nd) in this year's NFL draft (the teams will also swap sixth-round picks). Besides giving up all the picks the Vikings will also be giving up a boat (sorry) load of money. The money is believed to be around $74 million, with just over $31 million of the Zygi dollars guarnateed. Allen will sure look nice next to the Wiliams Wall, but let's not start talking Super Bowl just yet (got that, KFAN). Too many questions remain. What will happen with B-MAC? Will Tarvaris Jackson develop into a playoff quality quarterback? Can Childress coach? Will Matt Birk's contract sitution get resolved? Are the Vikings still short a quality receiver to compete in the playoffs? Can they beat the Packers? And finally, can Allen refrain from jamming his keys into the ignition after throwing a dozen adult beverages back?MLB: Twins 5, Oakland 4. Why did the Twins beat the A's yesterday? Bad luck; just ask A's manager Bob Geren. "We got beat by a couple of those bloop hits. Those balls were dropping in front of people. It was a little bit of bad luck."NBA: Defensive Player of The Year: Kevin Garnett. Guess Who? - Minnesota's Mystery Media Member (4M). Today's Clue: He's a Bobblehead. more...
