  • Favre Talk: Just Ignore It

    I\’ve done my best over the past few weeks to ignore all the \”Favre un-retiring and going to the Vikings\” speculation. It is getting more difficult to do as the media is in full frenzy mode with the report that Coach Brad Childress was on his way to Memphis (where I would think he would…

  • Donovan McNabb is a Jedi.

    I don\’t know what other conclusion to draw after hearing ESPN NFL analyst Shaun King say the following about McNabb on-air the other night. It\’s probably a bit of a paraphrase, but close enough for my purposes. \”Donovan McNabb can beat you three ways: He can beat you throwing the ball; He can beat you…

  • 2008 Vikings Season Wrap Up

    Researches say that the secret to beauty lies in symmetry. People who have symmetrical features are found to be rated more beautiful in studies. Architecture that is symmetrical tends to be more aesthetically pleasing. So there must be some beauty in the Vikings season as it ended the way it began.

  • Week 16: Vikings vs. Falcons

    The Vikings game versus the Falcons was moved to 3:15 this past Sunday to become the \”national game\” for Fox. However, I am in the New York area for the Holidays and unfortunately Fox chose to show the Eagles/Redskins in this market. But never fear, via the internet I was able to watch the game…

  • Week 15: Vikings @ Cardinals

    If I had told you before the Vikings v. Cardinals game that one of the quarterbacks would have a rating of over 139.0; we all would have assumed that would have been Kurt Warner picking apart the porous Vikings secondary. But we would have been wrong.

  • Week 14: Vikings @ Lions

    (An open letter to Gus Frerotte from Minnesota Vikings Fans) Dear Gus, There was a time when you and we just clicked. You came into our life when we needed you the most. We were troubled, having a difficult time with Tavaris, and you were there to provide stability and guide us through troubled times.…

  • Week 13: Vikings vs. Bears

    As I walked through the cold toward the Metrodome last Sunday night I was nervous. Make no mistake; I want the Vikings to win their division. My disdain for the Bears and Packers far outweighs my disdain for Coach Brad Childress, washed up quarterback Gus Frerotte, and whoever the Vikings special teams coach is. Even…

  • Week 12: Vikings @ Jaguars

    I was all set to write yet another negative article following a Vikings win. I was going to write how the score of some games definitely do not tell the story of the game… how a 30-12 score disguised another sub-par outing by the Vikings.

  • Week 11: Vikings @ Buccaneers

    On the levels of frustration index, this loss ranks quite high. Mostly because this was a game I did not expect the Vikings to win; but they could have, and should have, won this game. After the game famed Tampa Bay defensive guru Monte Kiffen reportedly told former Viking (and current KFAN color guy) Pete…

  • Week 10: Vikings vs. Packers

    First off, I apologize for not posting a recap of last week’s game versus the Texans. My short recap would have been:
