Progress Being Made With Cook
Yesterday, we noted that Chris Cook’s agent, Hadley Engelhard, said that the Vikings had yet to extend an offer Cook’s way.

Despite the Vikings being [...]
Vikings Aren’t Afraid To Wait
July 27th, 2010 Adam Warwas Posted in Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Roster Moves The Vikings have been slow moving compared to the rest of the NFL when it comes to signing their rookies.

At the turn of the decade, the Korey Stringer Institute is doing their best to remember and honor the lineman by trying their hardest to prevent similar deaths.

What Is Brock Lesnar Worth Now? About $30
Long gone are the days that I gave two hoots about a pack of trading cards, regardless of the sport. However, I recently tripped across this article detailing Brock Lesnar’s brief stint in purple (and Jared Allen’s number). A trip down memory lane is never really a bad thing. Okay, as Viking fans, a trip [...]
Cook Hasn’t Received An Offer Yet
Pro Football Weekly talked with Chris Cook’s agent, HadleyEnglehard, on Monday and he answered the questions some of you may have had as to whose fault it is that the Vikings have been so slow in signing their rookies. “We’re waiting for something from the Vikings, and we’ll go from there,” he said, indicating that [...]
Madden To Feature Fight Songs
PFT ran an article about the new version of Madden and I almost ignored it completely when one word stuck out to me and made me read the entire thing. That word was “Skol.” The newest version of the video game is reportedly going to include, for the first time ever, fight songs of some [...]
