I just wanted to say “thanks” to all of the great readers of VG for allowing me to take a three-day break without feeling too guilty.  I read all of the comments and thanks for the kind words, yes we had a great time, Fran I need to ask you a question, Freds needs a geography and U.S. History class, G.P. can indeed hold his own, and now I’m back at it…

It’ll take me a while to get caught up on stuff, but it seems important that the first thing I mention is the Vikings only transaction (I think) made while I was out of the “office.”

The Vikings re-signed wide out Greg Lewis to a one year contract. 

While I thought they would let him walk in free agency (got one wrong already) it is not too much of a surprise.  The Vikings may be satisfied with their arsenal of weapons and be aiming for continuity. 

While the contract given to Lewis likely won’t make many headlines, it is important because this means we can almost certainly cross wide out off of the Vikings “needs list” for the upcoming draft…  unless they trade Bernard Berrian.

Okay, now give me some time and make sure to check back… I am well rested and ready knock out a great many stories.
