Reason the third. . .if "that guy" were to end up in Minnesota somehow and this team DID win the Super Bowl under his guidance. . .who, exactly, do you think w...

Opinion: Vikings Notes: EA Sports is Feeling Minnesota

13 Jun 2008 03:33:48 PDT

Written by Anthony Hall
Glad to see Mewelde’s happy in his new home, because it simply didn’t make sense for him to remain in Minnesota. The combination of a coaching staff that was unwilling to correctly utilize him and a backfield crowded with talent made it an easy decision for the Vikings and Moore to part ways.

Opinion: Projecting the Vikings' 53-Man Roster: Wide Receivers

29 May 2008 18:56:27 PDT

Written by Gonzo
2) None of them are drawing a paycheck from the Minnesota Vikings any more. This is the point where things get a little murky. This is going to depend on whether or not Brad Childress decides that he's going to keep 5 or 6 wide receivers on the roster this season.

Kyle Wright. . .well, unless the Vikings want to try to get him onto the practice squad, I don't think he's got much of a future in Minnesota. He was highly recruited in high school, and managed to parlay that into, really, a whole lot of nothing down at the U. I don't see a whole lot to get excited ab...

At one point, there were several wide receivers who seemed like certain first-round choices. However, due to poor scouting performances or character concerns, almost all of them have seen their stock tumble. Only Limas Sweed, and DeSean Jackson warrant first-round selections. However...

If the Minnesota Vikings are allowed to leave the state of Minnesota, I will follow them and cheer for them regardless of where they land. Besides, if I wasn't a Vikings fan, what would I do? Stop watching football all together? Not bloody likely.

Skol Vikes - Skol Vikes is alright. He's still under the impression that Daunte Culpepper had something to do with Randy Moss being traded in 2005 (he didn't), and he might take the Vikings a little too seriously, but overall it's a good site. Hell, I can't think of a "bad" Vikings blog, to be...

Tarvaris Jackson wasn't the only person to blame for the offensive problems yesterday. The playcalling, whether it was Darrell Bevell or Brad Childress or Floyd Schnelker or whoever was responsible, was atrocious. For example, in the first half of yesterday's game, the Vikings had th...

It has been a while since we had a film with Vikings in it. The last one I can remember is 1999's The 13th Warrior, which was helmed by John McTiernan and starred Antonio Banderas. There may have been something in between, but I cannot recall any. Now, eight years later we are faced with the Marcus...
