Wilf Meets With Pawlenty; New Stadium Design In The Works
On Tuesday, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf was a guest at the Governor’s Residence, where he and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty discussed the Vikings need for a new stadium. The Vikings camp says the conversation was “very positive” while the Governor’s camp said very little specifics were discussed. The State of Minnesota is bracing for what [...]
Wednesday Injury Report
The Vikings injury report is not quite as scary as it was last week. Percy Harvin did not particpate after being out for a week due to migraines. He was present for the walk-through, however. Limited in practice were Bernard Berrian (hamstring), Cedric Griffin (neck), Steve Hutchinson (shoulder), Tyrell Johnson (concussion), Phil Loadholt (shoulder), Karl [...]
Mock Draft v6.0
Here is my updated mock draft. Some interesting changes occurred in the draft order, particularly when you consider that the Browns beat the Steelers. Without much ado, here we go: Bucs: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska – Right now, Suh is considered the obvious pick to help the Bucs get their defense back on track. Rams: [...]
Pro Bowl Voting Update
The Pro Bowl is decided by a combination of votes tallied from fans, players, and coaches. The fan voting accounts for 1/3 of the weight and so far the Vikings have been dominating the votes. Here is a list of how each player near the top is doing: QB Brett Favre: Second in the NFC, [...]

Jared Allen Restructures Contract
Sorry, I am not sure how I let this one slip by me, but this is old news that I am now just bringing up because I, well… somehow let this one slip by me. Jared Allen recently restructured a portion of his contract. The move allowed him to collect $4 million worth of an [...]
Vikings Draft Class Produces Great Value
Each of the Vikings five draft picks have started a game this season, which is a phenomenon that rarely happens for any team. The scenario can mostly be attributed to bad luck with injuries, but the amount these young players have stepped up cannot be dismissed. Percy Harvin (1st round, WR/KR) is a front runner [...]
Harvin’s Migraines Are “Top Priority”
Percy Harvin has proven to be one of the toughest receivers in the NFL. He’s not afraid to come across the middle, he’ll take a huge hit and pop right back up, he’ll return a kick at top speed with 11 giant men coming right towards him, and he played despite a fairly serious shoulder [...]
Childress Is Still An Odd Duck
Brett Favre is a guy obsessed with slapping other men on their butts… and even he thinks Brad Childress is a little weird. Before Sunday’s game, Brad Childress showed a video to the entire team of a NASCAR pit crew working as a team. “I don’t want to say it was strange,” Favre said. “But [...]
