I am trying to be optimistic

Holiday season and all.

I like Hamburgers!

Yea....best not go peek over there if you're easily rattled.

They’re already bitching of the parallels between the blown call at the end of last game with the Saints/Vikings NFC Championship game that blatantly cost the Vikings the Super Bowl.

-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.

Reminded me more of the facemask they got away with on reggie bush a few years back that caused him to fumble and basically cost us the game. They never minded that one.

I'm banned

Can someone ask them to remind me what they gave Kansas City in exchange for Jared Allen?

In case you're serious...

On April 22, 2008, the Chiefs traded Allen to the Minnesota Vikings. In exchange, the Vikings sent the Chiefs a first-round pick, which they used to select OT Branden Albert, and two third-round picks, one of which was used to take Jamaal Charles, and swapped sixth-round picks in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Totally serious.
Branden Albert has disappointed for a first rounder. I never liked Jamaal Charles (injury prone). Wonder what that other 3rd rounder was?

This is why I am skeptical of stocking draft picks. You have to be smart enough to USE them productively. Which is assumed. But often not achieved. Talking to you, coldpizza.

“This is why I am skeptical of stocking draft picks.”

I agree 100%. It’s a crap shoot. And most rookies suck their first year or two… so, drafting is to fill future holes, not fix today’s problems.

(reading between the lines: we need a LB and a CB from free agency after this season.. I said it last season too. Maybe they;’ll get my faxes this time.)

Better tell Vicky to make a run to Office Depot then. I think they’ve been out of fax paper for a few years.

It may be good that we played the Titans this past week

Its a good way to ramp up to the unwarranted hatred and idiotic claims we’re sure to hear this week. Come to think of it, Tennessee may be a good fan base for the Vikings to join when their team folds/moves to L.A.

But I won’t be going over to the D.N., since last year we were told Saints fans were not welcome on their blog. Their conspiracy theory posts about why they lose are meant to go unanswered by other teams fan bases, so I’ll leave them to it.
