Brad Childress is often the butt of many jokes among Vikings fans, particularly when it comes to his lack of enthusiasm (see tonight’s presser) and seemingly has endless amounts of crazy ways to try and motivate his team. Fans often wonder how effective speeches about water buffalo, videos about NASCAR, and having “that guy from [...]

What Is Left
The Vikings made two trades and two picks in the first two days of the Draft. Tomorrow appears like it will be a little more active, however, as the Vikings now have six picks in four rounds. Here is what they have left: FOURTH ROUND – #2 (#100 overall) FIFTH ROUND – #30 (#161 overall) [...]
Losing That Third Rounder Stings
In the previous post, I discussed how disappointing it was that the Vikings had to lose their third round pick in order to trade up and obtain Toby Gerhart. That thought stings a little more after looking at the four players selected immediately after that pick, all of whom I was very hopeful might end [...]
After A First Day Absence, Vikes Disappoint Fans On Day Two
April 23rd, 2010 Adam Warwas Posted in Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves Prior to this draft I know I was laughed at for thinking Jimmy Clausen would go first overall. If I had told you all that the Vikings would use their first three picks to obtain two players, Chris Cook and Toby Gerhart, I know I would have been laughed at even more. When the latter [...]
DAY TWO: Second & Third Round Live Chat
April 23rd, 2010 Adam Warwas Posted in Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves, Rumors Okay, everybody, thanks for sticking with me as our draft coverage has been slightly more scarce than what we would prefer in this neck of the woods. I’m as dedicated to my day job as I am this one, and every now and again they conflict with each other. BUT… Now I’m here and am [...]
Move down should benefit Vikings
April 23rd, 2010 Chris Boynton Posted in Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves, Rumors Hey everyone ! I have to start by saying that my official Mock draft didn’t get posted because of Adam’s exhaustive schedule. He was in meetings until late and understandably had no way to post it. So, if it does get posted today, it will be after the fact and thus essentially meaningless. My apologies [...]
Vikings Swindle Lions… Or Perhaps Other Way Around
After a long evening, the Vikings were on the clock with the thirtieth pick of the 2010 draft. Quarterback Jimmy Clausen is still on the board. Then the phones start ringing. The Vikings fielded a few offers, but in the end it was divisional enemies the Detroit Lions that offered the best package and the [...]
First Round Does Not Disappoint
April 23rd, 2010 Adam Warwas Posted in Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves Wow. After a long night of meetings for yours truly, I had the exciting task of getting back to my hotel room and finding out how things went down. It isn’t quite the same as having been able to watch it live, but it appears like the first round was quite exciting. Let’s take a [...]
OPEN THREAD: Merry Christmas Vikings Fans!
Draft Day is finally here and we get to find out what new toys are hiding under Rick Spielman’s Christmas tree this year. Today is the day that all mock drafts, guesses, analysis, speculation and everything else goes out the window and each team will have ten minutes to decide which direction their future is [...]
One More Day, One More Question
Brett Favre has a history of trying to lobby his current team to draft guys that will make him look good. Last year, many people thought that perhaps the addition of Percy Harvin was the straw that broke the camel’s back when it came to Favre signing with the Vikings. The 2010 Vikings, however, are [...]
