Just wanted to wish you all well as we enter the new decade.
The Vikings have had a roller coaster decade themselves, but it has been a fun ride, and tonight I’ll raise my glass to another decade of Vikings football in Minnesota.
Cheers!

Welcome to our first installment (and possibly last) of my quote of the week segment.
The first quote was told to Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune, and he posted it on his Twitter Account.
When Scoggins asked Vikings safety Tyrell Johnson how he thought he’s been playing this year, Johnson replied with:
I’ve played real good. Real [...]

I decided to take a break from updating my mock draft this week, but it hasn’t kept me from continuing my research.
Upon doing said research, I came across an interesting nugget.
The internet’s leading authority on the NFL’s compensatory draft goes by only AdamJT13.  He has a knack for predicting how the NFL will assign picks despite the [...]

We also know that they will host their first playoff game.
Whether that game is during wild card weekend (January 9 or 10) or in the divisional round (January 16 or 17) has not yet been determined.  They also do not know [...]

However, if you venture from the safe confines of Vikings Gab to read any single article, then it should definitely be this article from the ever-talented Vikes Geek.
Here is a taste of [...]

Antoine Winfield is one of the best defenders in the league.
When he returned from a foot injury against the Bengals, he looked like he was back to being one of the best.  The two games since, against the Panthers and Bears, have been highlighted by particularly bad play from the Vikings star corner, however.
“I’m out [...]

The Vikings have had a rough go of it recently… to say the least.
However, they got some good news today as the NFL announced their Pro Bowl rosters.  The Vikings lead the NFL with eight players being voted in.
Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Steve Hutchinson, Sidney Rice, Bryant McKinnie, Kevin Williams, Jared Allen, and Heath Farwell [...]
