Not Passed Out. . .Just a Bit Hung Over

PrintEvening, folks. . .I'm guessing that you all have noticed that there really hasn't been a whole lot of activity here over the course of the past week or so, now that the buzz of the 2009 season has pretty much worn off. And, to be honest, outside of Bryant McKinnie's Pro Bowl escapades. . .which, while completely idiotic on the part of Big Mac, are really hard to get too bent out of shape over. . .there really hasn't been a lot to talk about Viking-wise since the loss at the Superdome over a week ago.
The action will pick up here before too much longer, I would think. We're going to be getting more into discussions about the Vikings' off-season outlook, particularly the draft and free agency. Oh, and probably a little bit of stuff about the quarterback situation for 2010. People seem to think that's important and/or that the Vikings are screwed on that front. Then again, most of those same people thought we were screwed on that front going into this season, too. . .both pre-#4 and post-#4.
But, to borrow a line from the boys from Monty Python, we're not dead. . .we're just resting. (Not pining for the fjords in any way.) The action will be picking up here again soon, you can be sure of that. Until then, we thank you for your understanding and your patience, as well as your patronage.
Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday night, ladies and gentlemen, and we'll be back with you soon!

Vikes will be competetive next year.
With #4 or with #5. I hope.
Hard to talk much after that loss, but moving on, hell marching on!
Hard one(loss) to swallow, thats what she said.
just saw a report
the saints were out last night in MIA late. Hopefully Mckinnie sees some of them out and smashes em over the head with another lead pipe!
smoke em' if you got em'
McKinnie...
I dunno, I got kinda bent outta shape about McKinnie. Why would he do something so dumb? He’s already have numerous off-the-field transgressions, and before the Pro Bowl? A game where everyone mails it in? Either go, practice, and play, or sit out! It’s not like he got injured during practice! If you’re feeling even a little crappy, just don’t play, it’s not like he needs the money.
Just so incredibly stupid on his part. It’s the dumb Pro Bowl, and a Viking can’t help but generate some sort of lame controversy. He basically gave the NFL and the rest of the Pro Bowl participants a giant middle finger when he did that. Very, very disrespectful.
Skol Vikings!
Woot Woot!
He was right in the middle of the "love boat" incedent.
It was reported that he was walking aroung the deck with his d*ck in his hands. In front of everyone. This guy has no shame and will never grow up. Aside from his pubes his pass blocking isn’t to be desired either.

Yeah, I don't think McKinnie will be invited to play in anymore PB's.
He obviously has no respect for the team or the league.
McKinnie better watch his but this year too, because if he gets in anymore legal trouble during the off-season, the Commissioner and Childress might not be as forgiving as they have in the past.
has anyone seen bretts ankle and hamstring? those things turned as purple as the helmet, fuckin saints bought the refs and almost ended up tearing the leg of a great qb
if they’re gonna do that rule about hitting below the knee how come they didnt call it in that nfc championship game, yeh the saints have gone thru alot with the hurricanes but not enough to stop them from cheating. ladies and gentlemen i present to you the new patriots of the new decade THE CHEATING AINTS.
well again hopefully brett comes back because hell have another team to burn in the season other than the packers.
wish us luck vikings fans!

The Vikes had not turned the ball over more than 2 times the entire season until NFC C...
Some fumbles were forced and some give wrapped, but that fluke has hit and won’t repeat with the Colts. The Colts O-line is a better pass blocking line than the Vikes. The Saints will not get as many shots on Manning as they did on Favre.
The Colts should be very happy they arent playing the Vikings. Vikings would have had a good shot to beat Indy, but the Saints are going to get blown out!

seriously i wanted the vikings against us, that was the only team that i really wouldn't have cared if we lost cuz id be happy for brett and the vikes

Thanks mate...
Feel the same way….Maybe next year you can lose to us? We’ll do our level best to make it there…bet on it!
I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

It's not so much the Colts line as it is Manning.
That guy is like a speed reader. He gets the ball out faster than Brees, and that’s saying something.
That’s not saying the Colts don’t have a decent line. They do. But they’re total lack of running game has to mean something as well. Manning is the wheel that makes that bus turn.
Skol Vikings!
Woot Woot!
Manning +100
But getting sacked only 10 times with the 28th ranked rushing attack in the league means your O-line is great even if your QB is the greatest.

Yeah, just not much to talk about.
I’ve wanted to post something lately, but what am I going to say? Unfortunately it was another chapter in the ever-expanding book of Vikings’ heartbreaking losses.
I’ll get to talking about the QB situation next week some time. But first, I have to watch a football game on Sunday that the Vikings should be in. Argh.

Hey, I've got an excuse
I’m in New Jersey, which is French for the ‘most depressing place on earth’. So all I’ve done is drink to forget I’m here (well, and work. I mean, the government DID send me here to work, so I’m obligated to do that). Fortunately, I’m getting on a plane to God’s Country in a few hours, so I’ll be in the writing mood soon.
PS—I’m still not over the effing Saints game. God damn it all to hell…

I'm not over it either.
What pisses me off the most is that none of the Saints think they are lucky to have one that game. None of them have mentioned that they will have to play better against the Colts to win. They got very lucky against the Vikes and I highly doubt the Colts will turn the ball over 5 times. That is what it took to beat the Vikes. Oh and a few cheap shots on Favre werent called, but the refs will be looking for it now after the Aints showed their true colors.
The only thing wrong with Jersey is they no longer have a professional basketball team. What college are the Nets playing for now?
