The running theory surrounding the Wilf family’s pursuit of a new stadium in Minnesota is that they would prefer another roofed stadium, or at least one with retractable abilities. After all, the NFL has made it fairly clear that a Super Bowl would not be played in cold weather, and the financial benefits of hosting [...]

Same Old Story
Poor performances along the offensive line, including errant snaps. Favre gets knocked out, and the backup (in this case, Joe Webb) looked unprepared and skittish. Dropped passes on a number of occasions. The Vikings turned over the ball, but missed plenty of opportunities of their own. The defense and special teams looked lethargic and abused. [...]
OPEN THREAD: A Frozen Showdown
Tonight’s game at the Metrodome will feature Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, and the 10-3 Vikings trying to fend off the second place Bears to clinch the division. This should be a pretty run-of-the-mill game, and just another victory in 2010 as Brad Childress continues his quest for the “coach of the year” award that somehow [...]
Rhett Bomar To Sign With Vikes
In a week the Vikings switched Joe Webb back to the quarterback position, placed Tarvaris Jackson on injured reserve, signed Patrick Ramsey, promoted R.J. Archer, and now it appears that they will continue to stock up on quarterback options. According to multiple outlets, the Vikings are expected to sign quarterback Rhett Bomar off of the [...]

If the Vikings Want to Look – Where The Coaches Want To Go in 2011
I’m predicting Gary Kubiak, Lovie Smith, Marvin Lewis and John Fox get fired while Jeff Fisher gets one more chance (perhaps because the best candidates get signed before Bud Adams acts). Where would the most attractive spot be? I must say that while I think the top 3 spots are a tier slightly above the [...]
Goodell’s Meetings Could Matter
It was reported that earlier this week NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with Jenn Sterger and her lawyer in regards to the ongoing investigation of Brett Favre and his alleged actions that could be determined to be sexual harassment. There is a growing sense that the NFL will close this case once and for all [...]

Posted in Features, Game Previews, Injuries, Main, News, Roster Moves Brett Favre’s shoulder is still hindering his ability to play and has already been ruled out for Monday night’s frozen showdown against the Bears. Also, for a third consecutive game, guard Steve Hutchinson will not play due to a broken thumb. Safety Tyrell Johnson, dealing with a knee injury, has also been scratched from Monday’s [...]
