My comment was for those fans that said that the Vikes should have lost the game INTENTIONALLY to secure a higher draft position. Do you comprehend the difference? How exactly would you or anyone else know if a team INTENTIONALLY throws a game? How would you prove something like that to the degree ...

Wow! That's quite an article, DP. It sure gives insight to the mentality of winning at all costs. And it sounds as if the Saints are far from being alone when it comes to bounties. That's unsettling. Sure, if the Saints do it and not only get away with it, but win a Superbowl while doing it, the pr...

On a side note, I would also take this opprotunity to again say to all of you complaining fans that have intimated or actually come out and said that the Vikings should have purposefully lost to Washington last year to secure a 2 pick in this years draft , just wait and see the fines and penalties ...

Again, the "bounty" part WAS wrong/illegal. BUT, IMO they didnt resort to dirty play to collect on a bounty. They did get a couple 15yd penalities, but that happens EVERY week in almost EVERY game, by that standard, every team is cheap and dirty. The NFL investigated because the bounty is...

I agree, the bounty was stupid. However, I dont think they meant to injure players by playing dirty, just by playing mean and aggressive. Every defensive player dreams of a big, mean shot at an opposing player, if they say they dont, they are lying. Having a bounty was stupid, and Im sure they'll h...

Why is that a waste of time? Would you rather them spend the time on making him a WR, which may never pan out? That would seem like a waste of time. Keeping him at QB is the wisest choice for the organization: backup plan in case Ponder doesn't cut it, and it will give him a higher value down the r...

If Kalil is gone by the time we draft, it means RGIII will still be available. .... I'm like you, PG. If we can get a game-changer, I want us to do that. At the same time, the possibilities are pretty intriguing. Based on what I've seen both from RG III and from Ponder to this point over their resp...

Why not expand the scope of the discussion beyond stadiums? Whatever funding source they come up woth can include improvements to the civic center, museums, and yes, sporting venues depending on the need. People also need to be reminded of the monetary returns generated by these projects. There are ...

If true, the proposed "ideal" spot at Arden Hills costs (I believe) a proposed $1.057 billion. I'm an Arden Hills supporter so I'm a bit bias but the cost savings to me aren't significant enough to see much benefit to the Metrodome site over Arden Hills. YMMV. I think the Wilfs have alrea...

Tom Pelissero on Twitter What Zygi is saying is he either has an offer on the table for the team or would have an offer on the table for the team that makes any alternative site worth far less to him. I'm pretty sure the Wilfs are betting on getting a lot of cheap land they can develop around the s...

Here you go. http://4millionvikesfans.com/images/billboard---stadium-bill.jpg I do remember some of the great moments, but unfortunately it's mostly the tears that stay with me. They can't let this team leave until it wins a friggin' Superbowl (and before I die). Once they get that out of the way, ...

I fault the legislators for taking the short view. The long view is the better one because it more accurately reflects the balance between costs and benefits, and as the Souhan piece points out and simple financial analysis shows, there are significant benefits to the state that accrue over time fro...

Not everyone in MN cares about sports. Such a massive art/theater/music community in MPLS/STP area. Sports is an after thought for some folks If a referendum had been held to decide it the United States would not exist. It's not about what *everyone* wants or thinks is important. It's up to the pol...

If the people of Minnesota don't get the deal done, they don't deserve to have an NFL team. Have fun watching the Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, and the mighty Golden Gophers. Just crazy what they're doing. Might as well start packing the moving vans because there is no way a referendum will pass and if...

This is a sensational story, but it has nothing to do with the Vikings of 2011...
