Re: Richard Sherman postgame interview

He was interviewed immediately after an emotionally charged game. If you want to consider him a punk, you might want to look at him as a complete person rather than as a soundbite. This is a guy who worked his way out of Compton, earned a 4.2 GPA in high school, attended Stanford, stayed until he f...

Re: Do you feel Norv Turner is an upgrade over Bill Musgrave

Bill, Brian, or Ted Musgrave wasn't the reason the Vikings had the worst passing defense in the league. I really didn't care for his offensive scheme, preferring a more vertical game, but his hands were tied with Ponder not being of strong arm. Even Ponder could've thrown for first downs on those 3...

Re: These former Vikings are now going to the SB

Hope they don't. Really can't stand their entire secondary...and their coach is a tool.

All-in for Peyton and the Broncos!

Re: These former Vikings are now going to the SB

Harvin will be MVP and Tarvaris Jackson will have a super bowl ring. Because that's just how things work for Vikings fans. And I still won't care. The Vikings came out on top with the Harvin trade and Jackson is one of the very few players that I actually like on the Seahawks. Can't argue that Jack...

What "advantage" that was wasted with Jared Allen are you talking about?

Re: Adrian Peterson Could Need Groin Surgery

Comes in after an ACL tear and runs for over 2,000 yards then has a mediocre, injury-filled, QB-less season and people start talking about how "bad" his contract is, trading him, etc.

Original. :roll:

He's put together some of the most efficient offenses that I've ever seen, so absolutely!

Not happy with this for one reason, it almost assures that the Browns draft manziel. :steamed:
Why do you put the hiring of Norv and the drafting of Manziel together?

Re: AD's comments - your take?

Personally I think AD would jump at a chance to play for the cowboys. And I hope the Vikings take it if the deal is right. But it has to be right. Hes pretty much all we have after JA goes. He gave us great years, I hope we get the most for him either way it goes I his remaining years as a RB. Cord...

As was noted before, that house had been on the market before this season even began. They were just moving to a different location.

Re: Frazier Hints Freeman Didn't Get a Fair Shake

I don't really feel all that bad for Freeman one way or another. But this just goes to show you that Frazier wasn't necessarily calling the shots (Spielman) when it came to the QB position.
