Kills me that there is a whole generation of kids who listened to his "practice" rant and took it to heart. Said sooooo much about him and the way he viewed being part of a team. When he was good he was great. When he was surly, he was a true infection upon his team and the league.

Yep, we just need the Mpls City Council to vote yes (slim 7-6 vote last time) and the Gov. to sign the bill (he will) and it's a done deal. Mpls City Council likely won't vote until May 25. Amazing the ups and downs this saga has taken. Seems that despite the anger over subsidizing the Vikings, the ...

People tend to forget/overlook the fact that Minneapolis/St. Paul is the 15th largest TV market in the country. That puts it ahead of a bunch of NFL cities, including San Diego, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Cinnci, Buffalo, Denver, and Cleveland. The $$$-men at the NFL don't want to lose the 15th largest ...

No way in hell I will embrace the Packers.

The tough talk from the NFL and ownership has begun. Godell called MN Gov last night. Not sure MN legislature will be too keen on gettng bullied into a special session.

I should start by saying that I still believe that the stadium was never going to get done during an election year. Still, if they don't get it done soon, the Purple will be gone. So Viking fans, which NFL team will you adopt? I love the Vikings, so I'll probably look for another team with a history...

He had total control over his game and the others just melted away, just like the good old days. Golf needs this new badass Tiger back and playing well. He should arrive at the course in a pimped out caddy with bitches drapped all over him. Hell, he's a free man. Sundays are better when he's winnin...

Curious move by the Jets. Adding more fuel to an already screwed up fire. They didn't give up much for him, which is a fact they will be thankful for in a couple of years when they are releasing him.

Yep the tour has tons of boring, lookalike dudes named Keegan and Hunter who are interchangable and who I could not care less about. Golf if the most fun when there is a clear leader, and some dudes chasing him. Tiger winning is a major story. Charles Schwartzel winning is a major snozzer. Golf nee...

What's The Popsicle Incident? I read an article on yahoo sports and don't know the story behind it, anyone know? Here is the part from the article: "When we were watching television after dinner, he'd sometimes go to the refrigerator to get a sugar-free popsicle," Haney writes. "But ...

Sounds like Dave's got an education on how volitile the swing can be on a pro golfer's body. However, Tiger seems to withdraw much more than the average player. Either his leg issues are much worse than reported (probably), or he tanks it once he sees he's out of contention.

No brainer IMO. Denver is on the verge of making noise in the AFC and Manning is a huge upgrade over Tebow. Tebow may be popular, but chances are he wouldn't/couldn't maintain the high wire act on the field. Bottom line, if you get the chance to get a 80% Manning you take it over a 100% Tebow. If th...

Somebody is going to end up betting the farm on RGIII, especially after his impressive combine. The Redskins make the most sense as they are desparate to get back into the NFC East big boys club. Even when my Vikings suck they can't catch a break in the draft. St. Louis is sittin' pretty. Vikes at #...

They need to move this along and get it done. The Twin Cities benefit from being a 4-sport town, and the Vikings are by far the most popular. Why give the Twins, Wild, and Gophers new places to play in the last 10 years and ignore the team that brings in the most $$$? The longer the legislative sess...

7 or 8 games is not enough to tell if he's going to be a force for years to come. He plays with energy, smarts, and he's aggressive. He probably has assured himself at least 5 years in the league even if he comes back to earth. Now all we need is an asian hockey player and a black placekicker and th...

The NFC side got completely blown up this weekend. Both GB and NO go down. The AFC is playing out much as everyone expected. The Ravens aren't the same team away from home, and their offense is having troubles finding it's stride. NE has been bitten at home in recent playoffs, but I don't see the Ra...

Responding to everything so far...... I think the Colts have to leverage Peyton and get what they can for him. Luck is the future and the Colts are far away from a Super Bowl window. As for Manning landing spots, he's the biggest fish, so he'll land in the biggest of the ponds. What teams are ready ...

Vikings will need to take either Blackmon or the OL from USC. They are still paying first round $$$ to Ponder and are severely lacking at WR, OL and DB. I like the idea of the poster that said trade Manning-Face to the "Skins for a boatload of picks. Why would the SKINS agree to a trade when t...

I love the NFL draft. In fact, I think it's one of the top 10 events in all of sports. The draft order has been set. I'm sure some of us root for some of the unfortunate teams that find themselves with high picks. Even if that's not the case, let's hear what you think will happen. I think the Colts ...

I agree about the Vikings. Being from Minnesota I feel your pain. If you put together your list of the biggest snakebit/choke teams of all time, they would be near the top. I would not count teams that are and will be crap year after year. I mean teams that have repeatedly come close, only to find e...

I don't get NFLN either. Sucks because I'd rather watch a crappy NFL game than just about anything else. I'm not a fan of Thursday night games. They should be Friday. Never. That is reserved for High School Football. As it should be. Good point. Still amazed that NFLN can't work out a way to get on...

Carson has some life left in him, as he showed last night. They have some pieces, and getting a solid QB for the next 4 seasons makes the price worth it.

Excellent film. Clearly Bartman was not to blame for the loss(es). Must have been terrifying being him during those weeks. Funny that despite all these years and all the camera angles, nobody wants to kill the other 5 guys who also went for that ball.......or kill the SS who booted that ball. The Cu...

Second best game I've ever seen (1st was 1991 game 6 Twins vs. Braves). I said before this series started that the cards would win. Looked like a team of destiny and the Rangers haven't gotten over the hump of beating a team with history. Nelson Cruz's horrid misplay of the 9th inning double will go...

Pro level athletes skate through high school, often don't take meaningful college classes, and are given no real training on how to handle the money they make. The NFL culture dictates that they must have $250,000 in diamonds in their ears and $2,000,000 in cars. Sounds silly, but if you are spendi...

Auction league, $200 cap. Total performance league, PPR, 1 point for every 3 yards gained. I can keep Chris Johnson at $40 or Jamal Charles at $51. C-John signed today, making this decision harder. Finance wise C-John is a better pick, but RB's coming off of a holdout don't have good track records.

He'll be back towards the middle of the season. Basically a socially stunted man-child. Excellent stories here in Minny of his exploits. Still.....it was a thing of beauty watching catch balls in purple all those years.

His HOF speech will be must see TV.
