Take that Arizona. Back at Ya! That Will Learn Ya!

So, the last time the Vikings played Arizona, there was a head coach about to be fired, it was just after a major holiday, and a recovered onside kick led to improbable 4th down conversion and victory from the jaws of defeat for a team from the desert. Yesterday was about as close a case [...]

A Tribute to Brad Radke

I found this on armchairgm.com, and thought it was cute seeing how Chicago White Sox fan really viewed Brad Radke. by user ChicagoSportsFanDrew Dear Brad Radke, I have hated/admired you for a long time now. Earlier this year when your arm was falling off, I became excited. Excited that one of the great White Sox [...]

The Dreamseat is Coming, the Dreamseat is Coming!

It all started last summer, when I read an e-mail from a company in New York who had an “Offer I couldn’t refuse!” and was too good to be true. From the newest sports-theme leather recliner manufacturer, the Dreamseat company offered us a chance to help with their grass roots promotion of the coolest furniture [...]

Cedric Griffin: The New Viking to Dig

Okay, I have to admit, I didn’t know a lot about Cedric Griffin when he was drafted by the Vikings in the 2nd Round of the 2006 draft, and my reasons for becoming a fan have been pure selfish, but here goes. Cedric’s brother is Anthony Noble, a part-time tailgater with our Vikings tribe, who [...]

I am in Texas, and Still Looking

It’s madness here in Longhornville. The flight last night was full of UT and OSU t-shirts, but no extra tickets. I am determined to find a way into that game, and it is my quest to try all means possible. Today I even created a Craigslist account and posted the following message in the Austin [...]

The Hunt For Longhorns Tickets

It started when Cedric Griffin’s bro showed up to tailgate with us a few weeks back. Anthony N. We didn’t know who he was, but he was a big fan of the Rookie Longhorn and knew everything about him. I told him I saw that tickets for the Ohio State Game at Texas on Sept, [...]

Randy Returns and All is Cool

It still sucks to think that this Vikings team could have Randy Moss. There was no reason to trade him back in 2005. I wrote then that it was a mistake, I write now that it was a mistake, and seeing Randy in a Raiders uniform at the Dome last night, just brought out all [...]

Hot Dog Eating Vikings

Found this on a blog, thought it was cool, so here ya go:One Johnsonville Bratwurst weighs about 85 grams (3-oz. or 0.2-lbs.). We already know that Takeru Kobayashi set a new world record by eating 58 brats, sans buns, last weekend, but how does this compare to what a real person – i.e. a non-competitive [...]
