Vikings QB Brett Favre did not tip his hand on his intentions for playing or retiring next season on Thursday’s Tonight Show appearance with Jay Leno. Even though he’ll soon be eligible for senior life insurance, there’s still a strong possibility Favre will decide to play.
Yet his aversion to training camp or letting teams know [...]
Whether Brett Favre retires or not, the Minnesota Vikings should pursue a trade for Eagles restricted free agent QB Donovan McNabb. Why? Well, because you can never have too much talent at the position when your top guy is 40 and could either retire or lose it at any given moment.
McNabb may not be Favre [...]
While it would have been nice to face the Saints at Metrodome, the Vikings could hardly ask for a better playoff road game location that the New Orleans Superdome. Since the Vikings are built to be a Dome team, this is an ideal matchup for the NFC Championship Game, for the right to go to [...]
We’re leading 20-3. That’s better news than discovering weight loss pills that don’t raise your blood pressure!
With a 17-point lead and about 12 minutes left, Minnesota’s in a good position to win. And this is a Dallas offense that put up a load of points against Philly last week. Talk about defense!
Adrian takes it. Second [...]
There are some jobs Philly may be looking to fill this week, but in Minnesota, Brad Childress must be feeling pretty secure after that first half.
Let’s see how this first possession goes. Touchback.
First and 10 from the 20.
Peterson goes up, gets to the 27. Seven yard game. Good move to commit to the run, even [...]
So far, things couldn’t be going better, even though I thought this might be a game that inspired migraine treatments. We’re ahead 17-3, and Favre has two touchdown passes to Sidney Rice.
Our D is keeping Tony Romo and the Cowboys off-balance, and we’re handling their 3-4 defense pretty well.
We just put up our first punt [...]
The Vikings are near midfield on what looks to be a promising drive. Makes me glad I’m slimmer now, though I didn’t need a fat loss supplement to get here. I can enjoy the game a lot more with 20 pounds less of me to move around.
Taylor gains five. Second and five.
Farve to Rice. TOUCHDOWN! [...]
I know a few things about diets that work, having recently lost my first 20 pounds, putting me 25 percent of the way toward my overall goal, but right now I care a lot more about the Vikes’ first possession:
Incomplete pass over the middle. Second and 10. Peterson gains three. Third and seven.
We need something [...]
No one cares as much about wrinkle cream reviews as they do about the big playoff game between Minnesota and Dallas today. It’s happening on our turf, the Metrodome, and although Dallas got the call and won. We get to start on defense.
I’m sitting here listening to the call on 100.3 KTLK FM because I [...]
It came down to the final game of the season, but the Minnesota Vikings finally won their way into a second-round bye that they could have sewn up two games earlier and been in contention for the number one seed against New Orleans, had the team played better.
Still, a 12-4 regular season feels good right [...]
When the Minnesota Vikings took the field Sunday night, their most immediate battle was already won for them; earlier in the day, the Pittburgh Steelers had defeated the Green Bay Packers, locking in the Vikings as the NFC North champions for the second consecutive year. Sing “Skol Vikings” one more time, right?
Not so fast; someone [...]
The Minnesota Vikings have locked up a spot in the post-season today with a dominating defensive performance and a 30-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, one of the best teams they’ve faced this season. While Vikings fans are Free People (unlike Packer backers), the home Dome was in rare playoff-atmosphere form as the Vikings faced [...]
