Viking fans just fell on the floor
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
From Peter King:"I think Sage Rosenfels beats out Tarvaris Jackson in Minnesota. That's no surprise, really, but the Vikings realized they had to have a better alternative than Gus Frerotte starting every Sunday to contend for a Super Bowl. Rosenfels has the occasional brain freeze, but he's a strong-armed, semi-mobile guy who will be a kindred spirit for Brad Childress."I liked what I was reading

NFC North
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
Judd Zulgad at the Star Tribune points out that like the Vikings, the Packers and Bears have added few new players in the early stages of the offseason.One might assume that such a strategy situation benefits the defending division winner most, but I actually think it is the Packers that could benefit.  They are a young team (meaning they're more likely to improve internally), they lost a lot of

Tarvaris Jackson
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
When I think about the possibility of the Vikings entering a third consecutive season with Tarvaris Jackson as starting quarterback, I have an alphabetic plethora of reactions to choose from:a) Hasn't this gone on long enough?b) Maybe I should watch hockeyc) Why do the gods hate me?d) Well, we still have a great defense....(stifling sobs)e) A 58% passer in a West Coast offense? And he's starting

Blizzard

The Vikings signed defensive back Karl Paymah, who "likely will compete with Benny Sapp for a job in the nickel defense and will be counted on to help a special-teams unit that gave up an NFL-record seven touchdowns last season" (Star Tribune).The Pioneer Press is mocking me by referring to Jay Cutler as "potential Vikings QB" in headlines (here and here). Hello newspaper--there's "potential" tha

Cedric Griffin: good or bad?
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
The Vikings have extended the contract of cornerback Cedric Griffin (Sports Illustrated). I have mixed feelings about whether this is a good or bad thing, as I have mixed feelings about whether Cedric Griffin is a good player, and mixed feelings about whether he will become a good cornerback.Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? Is Cedric Griffin a good player or a bad player? And i

Stadium
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
The Star Tribune reports that the NFL is paying attention to the Vikings' stadium issue. I want to highlight one quote from Roger Goodell:"But also the Gophers have a new stadium. The Twins have a new stadium. It's obvious the Vikings need a new stadium."While the Twin stadium is a relevant precedent, the Gopher football stadium should be irrelevant to the question of public financing for a Vikin

On a Quiet Offseason
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via pacifistviking.blogspot.com)
It should neither surprise nor dismay that in the 2009 offseason, the Vikings have acquired no significant veteran starter other than Sage Rosenfels (and as a career backup, many would consider him a marginal acquisition; given the position he plays, I believe he'll be significant).  Last offseason, the Vikings acquired a starting veteran defensive end (currently 26 years old), a starting veteran

Thieves!
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via feedproxy.google.com)
Some dumb team (please don't be the Gophers) is going to have their heart broken on Sunday, and it's all due to Cleveland State. The Vikings beat Butler in the finals of the Horizon Conference Tournament to put them in the NCAAs, and with Butler a lock to receive an at-large bid, that means there is one less bid available for the bubble teams. I had it at about 10 bids remaining with 20 teams vy

Childress OK with Vikings' QB situation
submitted by walleye 524 days ago (via news.postbulletin.com)
EDEN PRAIRIE -- Brad Childress won't let public opinion sway him, but the Minnesota Vikings coach does read much of what is written about his team. And what he's been reading is this: The quarterback situation is i
