As Metrodome Recovers, Funding Plan Comes Into Focus
Despite a recent dumping of snow on the Twin Cities, the Metrodome roof repair is on schedule and pictures of the progress can be found around the net.

McNabb Talks Shouldn’t Be Happening Now
You know, I was actually kind of surprised when I read Judd Zulgad’s recent post at Access Vikings stating that the Vikings cannot engage in trade talks regarding Donovan McNabb or any other player. We all knew that no players could be traded until after the lockout, but I didn’t realize it couldn’t even be [...]
