I went to my first ever Vikings Draft Party sponsored by Miller Lite at Winter Park yesterday. I don't think it will be my last. The highlight of the day was meeting and reuniting with all the great tailgaters, and Vikings fans. Saueey and I started the day out looking for bars that opened before 11 a.m. Unsuccessful, we headed over to the Vikings Training facility and waited in line for 30

Several of the gang from Vikingstailgate.com all headed down to KC last year for the Vikings game with the Chiefs. It was a great time, but losing 13-10 to a team that ended up 4-12 sucked. In the Arrowhead Parking Lot, hours before game time, I can't count how many times that Chiefs fans kept pointing out that there "Superstar" #69, Jared Allen would be returning for this game, and the Vikings

Every year that passes since Moss was traded, it gets easier to deal with the fact that Vikings messed up. I have stated several times, several ways, that Superfreak was great, the best ever, one of my favorite Vikings etc. Today, just a few days befor the 2008 NFL draft, and the dawning of new era in Purple Dominance, I am sent a brand new "Bring Back Randy" campaign. I must post the

Defensive end Jared Allen, the Kansas City Chiefs' designated franchise player, has scheduled visits with two NFL teams even though he doesn't have any assurance the Chiefs would even consider trading him. According to a source, Allen is in the process of scheduling trips to the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the next week. Because he is an unsigned franchise player, Allen has

Last year in KC, a Chief's fan came up to me and said, "and you guys are toast today, because Jared Allen is coming back off of a suspension." My reply at the time: "WHO THE F is Jared Allen?" I have spent the last year learning that Allen is in fact the most dominant DE in the AFC. He is a Pro Bowler, with 15.5 sacks. He is the kind of guy who "shows up at a black tie awards event to pick up

I'm hoping for Limas Sweed, I don't think he will slip to the 2nd Round like some boards are predicting. I saw him play at Texas, and he strikes me as a potential game breaker, ala CC. Other than that, I am just hoping for best value. If the Vikings wait and see if he slips, then I like Philp Merling DE from Clemson in Round 1 or Derrick Harvey from Florida. In round 2 Like Darrel Robertson, DE

Man, I am sitting at home on a Minnesota Sunday night, watching CNBC, and they are airing a show called "Touchdown, The Patriots and the Business of Winning." I am envious of that franchise. They have everything that we Vikings fans aspire for; Randy Moss, 3 World Championships in the bank, an 18-0 season, a genius head coach, and most important, a passionate owner who will do anything to

We are not sorry for your big loss yesterday. You should know by now that #4 "Captain Intercepto" is about as clutch as a treadless Buick in a snowstorm. It sucks losing a NFC Championship at home huh? Anyway, to help ease your pain, enjoy some humor. This is how you know you are still a Packers fan: 1.

A temporary restraining order has been issued against Patriots [team stats]’ receiver Randy Moss, after a Florida woman alleged he beat her and then refused to allow her to seek medical attention on Jan. 6, according to court documents. Rachelle Washington, 35, of Fort Lauderdale, filed a petition for a restraining order in Broward County on Monday. A temporary injunction was issued Monday

I have heard a lot of talk about the Vikings losing record against teams with winning records lately. Most of this talk comes from the holier than Cowboy fans and Packers fans, who are sitting with homefield advantage for the upcoming playoff rounds. Well, they should be happy. Their teams are in. Both the Packers and Cowboys have 4-1 records against teams with winning records. This would

How many of you can really remember the details of your very first experience attending a Minnesota Vikings game? It was three decades ago for me, and I still remember that first game like it was yesterday. It was December 18th, 1976 when the Vikings beat the Washington Redskins 35-20 in that Divisional Playoff Game at the Old Met Stadium. I was what you'd call a serious Viking fanatic. Roaming

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET Chicago: Play-Action TE Post With as much turnover at QB as the Bears have had this season, the one constant has been the Play-Action TE Post.

From a site called:The BigLead.com Just in time for Monday Night Showdown with the Bears, here's some fun (spoof or not enjoy): "Lisa Lampanelli, easily the funniest female comic we’ve ever heard, went on Howard Stern’s Sirius show Tuesday and blabbed about sexual relations with a young (”in his 20s”) member of the Chicago Bears who (all the quotes are hers): * has tattoos * isn’t a starter

Funny Spoof from serioussportsnewsnetwork.com (a fun hilarious blog) that made me chuckle: SAN FRANCISCO, CA — It’s been a year of deception in the NFL. Only months after the New England Patriots got the league’s largest ever fine, the Minnesota Vikings received a $250,000 fine for having standout rookie Adrian Peterson swap uniforms with Chester Taylor during the Vikes’ 27-7 victory over the

Everyone has the right to their opinions, be they negative or positive. It's not only the right of the fans to freely express themselves, it is also "protected" in the Bill the Rights. That being said, it bugs me when other Vikings fans start inferring that they are more loyaly than other Vikings fans. Case in point, a recent MySpace blog, titled "Where Were You?" was sent out to other

It has always been a silent desire of mine to be a fan of "that team." You know, the sleeper? The squad that comes out of the blue and makes their run at the end of the season to sneak into post-season, then piss the whole league fan base off by pulling off the unpopular trip to the promised land. It started for me when I was young. I always played on crappy little league teams for regular

I can't remember the last time and almost forgot what it is like to win two games in a row. It feels good to see the Vikings crush a team like the Giants, and to see Zygi smiling on the sideline, but I am still a bit hesistant to pronounce that our purple have "turned the corner." After being so harsh, and calling for a regime change, I have to give Coach Childress alot of credit for getting

Why does this not surprise me? Those dirty bastards in Green Bay took a shot at Adrian's knee last week, and the fans in the stands near me were cheering, hooting and hollering UNTIL... we could all hear AP screaming in pain, writhing on the field. It got quiet with guilt. Packers players started signalling for Vikings trainers to come out immediatley and the mini-party on the Packers bench

So Lambeau Field was pretty cool. The game sucked, and it's pretty damn bad when a Vikings fan for 42 years of life, has to be felt sorry for by Packers fans. I have never seen a football program look so clueless as I witnessed at Lambeau last weekend. 0-8 on third downs (or was it 0-11, I lost count after the third free beer from empathetic Packer fans) is unacceptable. The Vikings are 0-4

Found this on a Green Bay Packers Blog, while was searching Google for "All-Time Vikings Game Dominance" Oh its that time of year, folks. The leaves are changing, there's a chill in the air, and the Green Bay Packers are in first place in the NFC North. Something about all of this just feels right .

Tomorrow we are taking a roadtrip to venerable Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin to stop by and say hello to Captain Intercepto and his 7-1 Packers. This will be our third trip to Dairyland, and so far each trip has been great. If you never made the trip, you gotta do it. Packer fans are loyal to their team, the tailgating is on par with Kansas City, and the entire town centers around the
