Well after attending my fourth home game (of four so far) of the year, I once again am very tardy to blog. I think the reason being this time is really lack of excitement. I had great company, but the game was somewhat of a bore.The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions 27-10...

I’m a little behind thanks to Minnesota Twins playoff fever and having an actual fever. Being in person at the Vikings versus Packers Monday Night game was truly amazing. In Brett Favre “Revenge Game” against his former team, he played great. Favre was 24 of 31 for 271 yards...

Random Tuesday Thoughts

The Minnesota Vikings are 2-0 after two road games. That is the good news. The bad news is that the Vikes have been really slow starters in both of their games against teams that frankly aren’t very good. Adrian Peterson still is proving that he is the most dynamic and explosive...

Not only is Adrian Peterson a man, he is THE MAN. Adrian “All Day” Peterson rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns including an amazing 64 yard burst in the second half. Peterson was dehydrated and had to have an IV put in his arm to get him better. He went on to score a one...

ALLISONIn a somewhat surprising move, the Vikes cut wide receiver, Aundrae Allison. Allison was a 5th Round pick by the Vikes in 2007. Allison was mainly used as a kickoff/punt returner, including a 104 yard kick return against the Lions in 2007.Allison was picked up by the Jets. I...

Percy Harvin, the Minnesota Vikings First Round pick signed a five year deal with the team today. Harvin will battle for a starting wide receiver spot and is a dynamic player that can be used out of the backfield and at quarterback ala “The Wildcat”.This is GOOD news. Harvin is...

Not exactly the ideal start to Training Camp. On Day 2 of Camp, Vikings quarterback, Tarvaris Jackson was tripped/rolled into by defensive tackle Letroy Guion. T-Jack hobbled off the field and appears to have a sprained MCL.If only a Grade I sprain as it appears, then Jackson will...

So after a three month flirtation with the Minnesota Vikings, 39 year old quarterback, Brett Favre informed Viking’s Head Coach, Brad Childress he will remain retired.To me this is unbelievable. He led the Vikes on like a “hot MILF (or maybe Cougar – take your pick)” who talks...

WINFIELDGreat news, the Vikes agreed on a five year $36 million dollar extension for the 32 year old cornerback. In the contract are some interesting points that could add or subtract from the deal (like if Winfield isn’t a starter in 2011, his salary would be greatly reduced).This...
