I think the Vikings will be a lot better. The team has added way too many new parts over the past few years, and that lack of a proper preseason last year started a funk that they couldn't crawl out of. A team with potential, when losing, will try too hard and make mistakes; a truly bad team will ju...

Doesn't look that bad to me. The Metrodome sold out repeatedly for many years while being shoehorned into downtown, I don't see how much better it would have been to drop a stadium 40 miles out in the middle of nowhere just to grab more cheap and plentiful tailgating land. And when I say that, I mea...

Ponder still reminds me today of the player I thought he was like when he was drafted: Rich Gannon. The only difference between them was that Gannon was basically a wildcat quarterback that played in that type of offense in college (but he knew how to play quarterback well, as his fairly long career...

It's solid that the Wilfs are thinking about building a retractable roof on their own dime. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/vikes-owners-hint-retractable-roof-164234341--nfl.html They know that they'll sell out more games that way. The only people who REALLY love outdoor football in Minnesota in late D...

I'm happy for everybody involved but especially for all the Vikings fans who would have been absolutely heartbroken if the team had relocated. It wouldn't have been the same team, not at all. It's like saying the Ravens are really the Browns, but they're wearing deep purple disguises. The Vikings a...

Somewhere in LA, the guy who used to post 1-2 blogs on the Yahoo! contributor network a month declaring "no hope" for a Vikings stadium and referring to the Vikings as the "Las Angeles Vikings" is doing a search on "Vikings" and replacing it with "Rams". Which...

:rolling: Now the refs were probably paid off since the Vikings lost. Ridicolous. Doesnt matter if you outplay another team, the rules clearly state, to win, you have to outscore the other team, sorta what the whole scoreboard thingy is for. They also state that you don't offer up bounties to your ...

We all knew they were doing it at the time, and Williams even leaked it himself on a local radio show, but Saints fans always claimed it was a load of crap. They were pure thugs back in 2009. Their players were targeting players' weak points (ankles, knees, old injuries) and trying to put them out o...

Today, with that new stadium agreement, is the best day to be a Vikings fan since the day before the Finals game against New Orleans a couple years ago. I can't even imagine what a Vikings team in LA would be. It wouldn't feel the same, not the same identity, not the same faces on the sidelines, not...

I got to say, Minnesota, and the Cities in particular, really needs the Vikings. Just like they need the Timberwolves, Wild, and Twins. I left MN when I was 14. That was the inaugural season of the Timberwolves. Before I got into sports back as a kid, in the winter, I would go outside, have some fun...

There's also the Buffalo Bills! And we can hope that there will ALWAYS be the Buffalo Bills...until the Vikings win it all.

It's hard not to still pull for Garnett, even though he's burned some bridges with some of the stuff he's said since he left the Wolves. (Such as "you have to do what makes you happy instead of be loyal...I wish I had learned that years before I finally got out of that situation".) And aft...

Ehh. I used to feel the same way about women's basketball. Then I came to realize that if you look at it like it's a different game...sort of like watching softball as it is to baseball...I was able to get over that. I'm entertained by it sometimes, but the only way you can really be entertained by ...

You know, I'm beginning to think that Gardenhire should be fired. His in-game decisions probably lose more games than they win. Why walk the bases loaded to get to A-Rod? And why bring Guerrier in to face A-Rod? Gardenhire did good work with the low-budget Twins in his first few years. I think most...
