Posted in Chris Kluwe tweeted earlier this week that Devin Hester’s long punt return against the Vikings could have been flagged for three separate blocks to the back. On Thursday, apparently the NFL agreed with him. “So the refs got back to us and said, ‘Yeah, we missed that call. Sorry,’” Kluwe tweeted. “Think we can get [...]

Adrian Is Eager To Get Rolling
Adrian Peterson was not impressed with how quickly his most recent speeding ticket became published news and claims that the police report was inaccurate. “I seen the meter, you know what it said?” Peterson said of initial reports that he was going 53 mph in a 35 zone. “It said 42. Because I asked, and [...]
Did He Really Just Say That?
We directed you towards an article on Thursday that talked about Brad Childress clinging to a newspaper article in which veteran defensive tackle Pat Williams defended the unpopular head coach. On Thursday, Childress might have succeeded in painting Big Pat as a villain in the modern-age NFL. While talking about Sidney Rice’s pending decision to [...]

Programming Note
I just wanted to take this time to let you all know that immediately following the Packers game, win or lose, you’ll see a lot less of me for about two weeks. No, I haven’t given up all hope or abandoned my purple passion, as I will be writing for this blog for as long [...]
Stadium Talk Starts Anew

A newly elected Republican Legislature, tasked with balancing the State budget, will have to take [...]

I can’t add anything to Elizabeth Merrill’s recent piece on the Vikings that would make it any better than it already is. So click here to read the whole thing, but make sure you have the time, it is lengthy. It is a great piece that perfectly sums up the Vikings season to date.
The Hank Baskett We Wish We Didn’t Know
After Randy Moss was suddenly waived by the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Brad Childress thought us fans would take kindly to being reminded that we “still have Hank Baskett.” Baskett has one catch for 18 yards since joining the Vikings, but his bad luck in Minnesota doesn’t stop on the football field. His wife Kendra [...]
The Never Ending StarCaps Case
I won’t get too deep into this one, because I think most of you would be in agreement with me that the details of the pending StarCaps case involving Pat and Kevin Williams is borrrrrrrrrring. However, if you read this entire article, you might find the topic somewhat interesting… or at least some of the [...]
Hurting, But Hopeful
As the Vikings prepare for what would normally be a highly anticipated game, and instead is a “must win” to be played out in an already defeated atmosphere, a number of Vikings are hoping their wounds will heel enough so that they can contribute in Sunday’s game against the Packers. We already noted that Sidney [...]
