Bradford not present at the start of practice. I'd be surprised if he suited up.

Figures. I am bringing my gf to her first vikings game this weekend. We'll we've seen a few Timberwolves, Wild , and Gopher hockey games and we are 5-0, so maybe she will help...

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
I still think the Vikings have a good shot this weekend. TB doesn't have as many weapons as Pitt and their defense isn't as good. Plus that stadium is a big home field advantage.PurpleMustReign wrote:Figures. I am bringing my gf to her first vikings game this weekend.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
I'm incredibly pessimistic. Our offensive line isn't good, despite its week 1. McCoy/Spence will be incredibly disruptive and I have zero faith in Waynes matched up against Evans or Jackson. If I was Tampa Bay I'd have Jackson throw deep shots to Jackson all game and wait for the PI.S197 wrote: I still think the Vikings have a good shot this weekend.

If Bradford was playing, I'd think they would stand a bit more of a chance. Even then I wouldn't like their odds, even at home. Really hope I'm wrong.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Mike Harris' condition revealed. He has retired.
Sounds scary but looks like the prognosis is good. Worth the read. Good luck to Mike. He grew into being a reliable starter. Really sucks for him.
http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/26/ex ... etirement/After tests were conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, it was determined Harris had a congenital condition known as brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The Mayo Clinic website describes it as “a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain.’’

That's a tough break. I hope football didn't exacerbate the problem.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Just to get a good laugh, Matt Kalil is currently ranked 61st out of 72 qualifiers according to PFF. Riley Reiff is ranked 18th and Mike Remmers is ranked 19th.
So maybe finally, the "Spielman doesnt know what he's doing" stuff could actually stop for once.
Reiff got a 5 year $58.5 mill deal
Remmers got a 5 year $30 mill deal
Matt Kalil got a 5 year 55 mill deal
