Vikings 2005 Draft: Mike Williams
I have to admit that I have not paid as much attention as I probably should have to Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards because I figured he’d be off the board by the time the Vikings’ 7th pick rolls around. But with all the recent rumors and speculation of the Vikings trading up, Edwards is a…
Vikings 2005 NFL Draft Preview
I can’t remember being this obsessed about the NFL draft. My obsession has little to do with the fact that my team, the Vikings, have two first-round picks, 7th and 18th overall. It has everything to do with the fact that we traded the best recevier in the league and a future Hall of Famer…
Mike Tice – The Scalper
So Vikings coach Mike Tice has finally admitted that he scalped his Super Bowl tickets. That’s a direct contradiction to what he was saying just a few days ago when he claimed that though he routinely scalped tickets as an assistant coach, he never scalped tickets after he became head coach. While the practice, though…
Vikings Killer Instinct
Patrick Reusse‘s column today talks about a Vikings fan named Albert Belle and how he’s skeptical about the Vikings ability to win the big game. And why shouldn’t he be? What evidence is there that the Purple have what it takes to win in the clutch? Well, you’ve got to go back a ways. Like,…
Planning Against The Vikings Offense
For my money, the most impressive thing about the Vikings’ offense thus far this season has been their ability to set-up the following game by the way they play the previous game. Titan’s head coach Jeff Fisher and his defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz need to account for Randy Moss simply because Mike Tice has wisely…

Daunte Culpepper’s Got His Mutha F***ing Roll On

Future Hall of Fame quarerback Dan Marino was in town to interview Culpepper for a segment to air during this Sunday’s game. Craig points to…
A Mossless Vikings
This Vikings team continues to put on impressive performances every week and the reason that it’s impressive is that they have yet to field a completely healthy team.

Vikings Vs. Texans — In Pictures
I do like the Star Tribune‘s online game photo gallery feature. I have only one complaint: They need to get a new person to write the captions for the photos because whoever is currently doing it, really has no clue. I wouldn’t make a big deal of it if it was a one-time thing, but…
