Cromartie a Viking
Rumor has it the Vikes could be in the hunt for Antonio Cromartie of the Chargers. If true, and we wouldn't give up too much to get him, this would be big. Especially considering the decline in Winfield's ability to cover the pass. Bring in Cromartie and move Antoine to strong safety. Favre comes back [...]

T-Wolves Trending the Wrong Way
With the firing of McHale and a change of the guard at GM, Wolves fans finally had something to cheer about this past off-season. A new coach more famous for his eye wear than his coaching prowess and a new young team featuring a lightning quick point guard. To say there are growing pains would [...]

NFL Leaders: There’s a Viking Stat for That
Brett Favre is leading the NFL in the QB ratings. All-Day is #2, Rice is #4, Mr. Purple Rodeo himself is #2 in sacks. I don't want to jinx it, but if you're looking for a team to get behind that's both fun to watch on the field while it leads the NFL in [...]

New Twins Uniforms and Bill Smith Disappoint Me.
Not only are the Minnesota Twins moving into a new stadium next year, they will also be sporting new away uniforms, a 1961 throwback home uniform, and new patches commemorating their 50th year and the inaugural season at Target Field.

Chubbs?
Never reach for golf balls in the water in South Carolina. Why? Otherwise you will end up like the man in this story:

The old cliche "you can't make this stuff up" might come to your head, but here, that does not apply. Remember Chubbs from the movie Happy Gilmore? He had his hand ripped off [...]

Thoughts on Vikings – Lions by Bill Simmons
LIONS (+9.5) over Vikings
Has Brad Childress ever given an interview in which it didn't look like he should be staring through penitentiary glass holding a black phone?
(Wait a second, did I just pick the Lions? That was an accident. Hold on.)
Vikings (-9.5) over LIONS
Much better. I have two Adrian Peterson thoughts. First, he combines my [...]

OJ Mayo vs. Miller The Final Review
Not to beat a dead horse since the Wolves have finally dumped one of the worst GM's in history, but lets take a final look at the flawed theory that trading away OJ Mayo and replacing him with Mike Miller's outside game so we could get Kevin Love could make any sense at all.
As you [...]

Rubio Pick Now Becoming More Clear
When the Timberwolves drafted 4 PG’s in the 2009 NBA Draft they had basketball fans worldwide scratching their heads. One day later the moves are starting to make a little more sense.
In today’s economy it is no secret the most valuable players in NBA are one’s with expiring or low contracts. Twelve teams have received [...]

1,600 Club Now Available
In the NFL record books you’ll find one interesting WR record – Torry Holt along with Marvin Harrison are the only receivers with multiple 1,600 yard receiving seasons. It just happens both players are now free agents having been cut by their respective teams. With the Vikings looking to add threats that compliment AD, let’s [...]

The Minnesota Vikings Draft Needs
The pink elephant in the room is QB. What will the Vikings do at QB? In today’s NFL you have a short window to be great, then a window to rebuild so you can have a short window to be great again.
All Day isn’t getting younger. With LT’s latest woes it’s safe to say an [...]

Williams Wall Has Yet to Crumble, Yet
Another day in the StarCaps drama brings us a little closer to the end. Today with the courts getting invovled it is looking a little more promising for the players to play this weekend, but probably not beyond that. It seems as though there are three main issues at hand.
According to an article from ESPN, via the Associated [...]

Add it to the list, maybe
A common theme amongst Minnesota sports fans is having things begin to go our way and then having the proverbial “rug” being pulled out from underneath us. Well, we can add the Vikes to the list for 2008. I know, I know, all cities and states have their relative issues with sports teams such as [...]

Minnesota Vikings Season Prediction
Ok, it’s preseason prediction time. Here is how I see the Vikings’ season playing out this year:
Week 1 @GB: On the road, nationally televised game, LOSS (0-1)
Week 2 IND: Home opener against Manning et al., LOSS (0-2)
Week 3 CAR: Carolina’s strength is the run, we stop it, WIN (1-2)
Week 4 @ Ten: Titans have a poor passing game, we [...]

Pitching v. Hitting, Take Pitching
With the Twins struggling to win 3 of their last 10 I thought I'd dive into some AL stats.
As a team the Twins rank 3rd in batting avg and 4th in runs in the AL. But they rank 12th in ERA and 14th in both opponent batting avg and OPS. There is no doubt the Twins posses the greatest collection of singles hitters in baseball. But it may be time to forget hitting and start building...

Kobe Is NOT MJ
Let's stop all of these comparisons. It is not doing anyone any good and those who dare to make the leap (yes I said leap) to put Kobe at Jordan's level is nothing short of asinine.
I'm not trying to make the case that Kobe isn't a great player. He is a great and very dominent player in the NBA. He is not however Jordan.
Check out some of the career stats...

The Vikings Draft Just Got Boring, Gophers Got New Uni's
I didn't really break it down like I did last year. Well, I guess that's because second round projections aren't that interesting. Here are my two scenarios: 1) Vikings trade down to the late second or early third round to get an additional 4th round pick. They then use their first two picks on the offensive line (tackle, center, guard or tight end) or wide receiver....
