In 2009, the Minnesota Vikings have managed to become one of the NFL’s premier teams with an 8-1 record. This hasn’t always been the case in years past, despite a strong running game that complimented a stout defense. Key playmakers had been missing on the offensive side of the...

There has been a change in offensive tone in the 2009 Metrodome since years past. This change started with the trade of Randy Moss years ago and had since been declining rapidly, only to build itself back up.
The first glimmer of hope was in the 2006 draft when fabled resurrected...

Childress knows how to prepare his players after a bye week: Ha, just kidding. I gotta bitch about something, right? Despite the fact that the Vikings were flagged 13 times for 91 yards against the Detroit Lions this Sunday, they still beat them worse than Ralphie did that stripper...

Oh sweet, it’s the Lions right out of the Bye! There is nothing like coming out of your bye week as a team – healthy, mentally rested and emotionally centered – to find your selves playing the Detroit ******* Lions. Granted, this is the Lions team that was leading the...

At the midway point of the season players find themselves broken, beaten and scarred. Some wins have been tough to come by and the losses hard to take. For the Vikings in 2009, the NFL bye week came at just the right moment to allow certain players to return to the comforts of home, vacation [...]

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Jeff Dugan earned his tough exterior on the east coast through steel towns, cold weather and rough talk. After attending Maryland and adopting a brusque culture of tough Rocky-esque slurring and lazy eyed-ness, Dugan was drafted in the seventh...

Actually, it’s a win-win-win: Because we never heard of any reports of anal bleaching, or Buckin’ Broncos, or The Walrus, or anything like that. If the fans and media don’t hear about any player antics off the field during the bye week then that counts for like half a win on...

Reports surfaced yesterday of a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated where they asked current players who they thought the “dirtiest player” in the NFL was. Perhaps surprisingly, the Minnesota Vikings own Jared Allen appeared on the list as the 10th top vote getter amongst players...

When the Vikings played Green Bay at Lambeau Field this past Sunday, the original plan was to have Vikings rookie receiver/kick returner Percy Harvin mic’d up for live audio. While he was outfitted with the wires, the FCC’s required five second delay was thankfully used when the...

Sweet merciful crap that was awesome: That … was pretty much one of the better things that I have ever done with my life. Watching the Packers get donkey punched in front of 95% of the nation thanks to their former lord and savior has brought me untold amounts of unadulterated bliss...

Thanks to Visanthe Shiancoe and his colorful Twitter feed, we can now all look at a picture of Vikings Coach Brad Childress dressed as a buxom flight attendant on the teams trip to Green Bay.
Let me be the first to say give that lady a new coaching contract! With tits like that it...

Marjorie Johnson is a bit of celebrity around these parts, as if you didn’t know. Such a celebrity that you can excuse her if she doesn’t know who this “Purple Jesus” is. I mean, right, like the lady who coined the term “Blue Ribbon Baker” is just going to go out of her way to [...]

Occasionally, Purple Jesus likes to check in with geriatric columnist Sid Hartman to see what secular insight the elder architect has included in his daily column. Most likely it is full of piss and vinegar, like the old man himself, but occasionally Purple Jesus comes across nuggets...
