PrintYes, ladies and gentlemen, the off-season is officially upon us as I sit here watching the Daytona 500, avoiding the NBA All-Star game like the plague, and celebrating Valentine's Day with Mrs. Gonzo. It's high time to start looking at the draft and all sorts of good stuff like that, but for today it's time for the return of one of the more popular off-season features of this site, the Sunday Viking Vegur. Time to take a look around the rest of the Vikings' blogosphere and see what the rest of our fellow Purple fans think about our team, as we really didn't do a whole lot of linking outside the site during the season itself. No particular order on these, so away we go!
-Over at Defensive Indifference, Jason compares his pre-season predictions to those of ESPN.com fantasy football guru Matthew Berry. I've never gotten into Matthew Berry. . .I thought he was awful on Friends.
-Grant's Tomb formally kicks off "speculation season" with a look at Brett Favre and Chester Taylor, among others.
-Pacifist Viking. . .who had his own mini-Favre saga after the NFC Championship Game (and who can blame him). . .once again connects a work of classic literature to the Minnesota Vikings. Surprisingly, it's not the biblical book of Job (though I assume that's coming at some point).
-Purple Jesus Diaries gives us. . .something. . .that connects Brian Robison, Valentine's Day, and your prostate. Well, not necessarily your prostate, I guess. Honestly, I'm still confused.
-Want to follow the folks from The Viking Age on your iPhone? There's an app for that.
-The Viking Ship. . .and the lovely Viking Girls. . .have some news about Cedric Griffin's condition. This is going to be one of the bigger off-season stories for Minnesota fans to follow.
-Meanwhile, Vikings Gab takes a look at the Vikings' current defensive end situation.
-Vikes Geek takes a more in-depth look at the potential situation with Chester Taylor and the Vikings.
And that's your Vegur for this week, folks. This should, once again, be a weekly feature here at the site, and one that should allow you to take a look at some of the other perspectives around the Vikings' blogosphere from our fellow fans. I hope you enjoyed it, and we'll see you back here tomorrow!

Purple Jesus....
must have a monstrous wrist muscle.
I’m not about that one. Shoulda passed that one by…but kinda of amusing..somehow.
I’m still not sure.
Welcome back Vegur…it’s a long offseason.
Is there any reason he picked Robison?
Did I miss a past story involving Brian and prostate health? I’m just confused as to why he chose Brian over someone like Jeff Dugan or Karl Paymah, for example.

C'mon Griffen come back healthy
I tried watching the Slam Dunk competition. What was I thinking. It has gotten worse. Tell me Nate Robinson doesn’t look like a black, younger Yoda.
If Ray Edwards can stay healthy next year will he emerge to be just as good a Jared? Ray is only 25 and just entering his prime.
Hard one(loss) to swallow, thats what she said.
8.5 sacks is nothing to sneeze at
The quesion is will his head still fit into his helmet… Because 8.5 sacks isn’t that great either.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Ray Ray says
" He doesn’t put his life on the line, he pushes a pen."
I am sorry DN readers…this guy makes 3.2 mill.
Our Military members do not. So to read this quote this morning REALLY pisses me off.
I had a twitter exchange with Adam Schefter a couple of days ago and I asked him what the MAIN hold up in the NFL CBA was.
I said “in this economy it had better not be money.”
He said “Its always about money”
Clowns like Ray Edwards should put things in perspective and come down off their golden ladders. I think you will be fine RAY. Hope you can feed your family.
God Bless our Men and Women in the Military….for defending “tools” Like Ray Edwards.

Got ahead of myself
Ray Edwards was speaking about the Commish making 9mill

Maybe so
but Edwards doesn’t put his life on the line, either.
Regardless of dollar amounts, that comment, from somebody who is being paid to play a game, still pisses me off.
As you said, “God Bless our Men and Women in the Military.”
