Williams Wall Will Stand (Again)

Just a bit of (good) news for today: Via rotoworld: The Minneapolis Star-Tribune confirms that Vikings DTs Kevin and Pat Williams are likely to be available for “most if not all” of the 2010 season based on a Wednesday court ruling. We pretty much already knew the Williamses were likely to stay eligible, but Wednesday’s [...]

July 15th Is A Date To Watch For

Between now and training camp anything can happen. Also, it is completely possible that between now and training camp absolutely nothing of note happens.  It could be THAT exciting for us around here the next couple of months. However, keep your eye on the upcoming date of July 15th as the next day which holds [...]

Unnamed Opponent Slams McKinnie, Other Vikings

The Sporting News is busy counting down to training camp by breaking down each roster and trying to provide a unique preview of sorts. For example, middle linebacker Jasper Brinkley has their vote for breakout player of the year for the purple and gold.  Also, they predict that without Favre there is virtually no chance [...]

Brett Makes His Return…

… To the silver screen, that is. Yes, in the same week that it was revealed that Bernard Berrian would play second fiddle to Chad Ochocinco on some crappy VH1 dating show, we have also learned that Brett Favre will be appearing in an upcoming film. Don’t expect his performance to be similar to that [...]

And That’s Why You Need A Roof

The Vikings chances of getting their requested public participation in financing a new stadium in Minnesota cannot be hurt by the numbers coming out of Miami today. According to a recent study, about $333 million was injected into the South Florida area as a direct result of hosting Super Bowl XLIV this year.  And, according [...]

A Brief Look At Contract Issues

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the looming contract issues surrounding the Vikings roster.  Fans tend to get nervous when their team has numerous big-name players sitting there with only one year left on their contract, which is where the Vikings are currently positioned. This regime has shown a commitment to keeping [...]

QB of the FUTURE!

So I love Rotoworld.com, updates with every team, player, etc… Anyway, I found this today: Vikings VP of personnel Rick Spielman came away from minicamp raving about sixth-round QB Joe Webb. Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Sid Hartman even goes as far to say that Webb “could be the quarterback of the future.” An athletic freak, Webb [...]

Berrian To Help Ocho Find Love

Last year I got a little nervous when Vikings wide out Bernard Berrian was spotted multiple times hanging out with Bengals wide out Chad Ochocinco throughout the offseason. This year, Berrian will not only be hanging out with Ocho, but will be featured on his new TV show:  Ochocinco:  The Ultimate Catch. In the show, [...]

WEEKEND CONVERSATION: Getting Down To 53 Is Tough

Well, I thought it would make for some fun weekend chatter in these parts if I put together my very, very, very early prediction of how the Vikings 53-man roster is going to shake out.  The only really important thing to point out is that I did not include E.J. Henderson and Cedric Griffin, as [...]

Vikings Put Money Where Their Mouth Is When It Comes To Player Safety

Many companies preach safety in the work place but choose to only preach about it instead of taking proactive action (hi, BP, my name is Adam). The Vikings do not appear to be one of those companies. The club is creating a stir today when it was learned that the company named FieldTurf has filed [...]
