Five Years Of The Daily Norseman

I’m not sure how I came across the DN, but I was automatically hooked when I did.
I don’t even bother looking anywhere else for Vikings info, everything I need is right here.
Even when there’s nothing to talk about, you guys still manage to come up with something to talk about. :)

Read it before that. Keep up the great work.

The other great thing about this site is the easy way to find links to other SB blogs of interest. Most are well written and organized. But DN was my first and you never forget your first. Besides, you really are the best.

Congrats on your milestone.

Love it. Keep up the great job!

I joined the summer of our historic season and I was unsure about this whole “blogging” thing. I always thought of that as what nerds did in their basement, and boy was I wrong. I am so glad that I joined this site. Because within probably 4 months, I became a regular on the site and had developed many friends on here including yourself. You guys run one hell of a site and I visit it easily 20 times a day to check up on everything Vikings, but I just don’t have the time to be a regular poster like I used to. I’m really hoping that changes within the coming months, because there is nothing more that I love than participating in the Game Threads here because they are awesome. Lets hope for this blog as long as there is Vikings football because they go hand in hand. Everyone here does a phenomenal job keeping this site going and I truly mean it when I say this is my favorite site.

Keep up the good work guys,
PHMF

7 days without The Daily Norseman, makes one week.

I actually stumbled on this site randomly a couple years ago, was a lurker up until this off-season, but I can say without any hesitation that I remained a loyal reader because of you and your awesome staff of contributors, Chris.
I just love the way you write, sir! :)

Thank you for maintaining wonderful quality (and quantity). Keep up the fantastic work- and one day we can all taste the sweet, sweet victory of that long deserved championship together.

SKOL VIKINGS!!!

That’s like 95 in Internet years! Way to grow old gracefully!

But the first thread I recall is where everyone was making Shawshank Redemption references and it was so hilarious I was hooked. I visit almost daily, consider this the be by far the premier Viking site on the net, and at some point have received encouraging words from everyone on the staff. And it will never be forgotten. Here’s to the next five years. (as a side note Chris, I spent 3 or 4 hours attempting to put an Adrian highlight reel to the music you requested yesterday, but couldn’t quite get her done, am studying up on the matter)

It was always the best Vikings blog, and it has only gotten better over time.

I’m so glad I finally found this site a few years ago. Surrounding yourself with like-minded folks makes this game so much more enjoyable. I am lucky to have a solid local crew of Vikes fans, some as hardcore as I. I am also glad I signed up and started participating, rather than just lurking as I had done for a long time. I mentioned a conversation I had with a friend on a post here, and when he saw it he immediately texted me about it. You guys run a great site here, and I say kudos! It makes the game better when the fans connect, especially those of us out in the wastelands such as L.A. Thanks! SKOL!

2+ years and still enjoy arguing viking football with the best fans anywhere!

I, like so many others stumbled onto this site a back in 2008 and have been keeping up with the Vikes here ever since. No other blog on my favorite team can compare to The Daily Norseman for up to date news on all that is purple. Keep up the good work.

I was a fan for a full season before I became a main writer—I’m truly privileged to be a part of the online community that Chris has created here.

George Bernard Shaw once said, “The secret to success is to offend the greatest number of people.”

Maybe some Packer fans take that idea far too seriously, but the First Amendment indicates that the founding fathers felt that speaking our minds would result in the greater good, if only perhaps we all applied some common sense to it. (If we don’t have any common sense, we are probably not going far anyway.)

Shaw also once noted the fact that if we equally trade our apples, we still have the same number of apples, but if we trade our ideas, we each wind up in the possession of more ideas.

Some might disagree with the concept that discussing the Minnesota Vikings accomplishes anything worthwhile (let alone building them another temple where they can play football), but football succeeds because it tells us stories applicable to life in general. We are all vulnerable; both are group activities with friends and foes; the clock will run out, and the game in time will end.

(Speaking of which, I recently saw the remains of a real ancient Norseman in a museum in Dublin, Ireland. He didn’t say much, so I don’t know if he came to Ireland just to start a fight, but since Guinness hadn’t been produced there at the time, I presume that he did. All I can say for sure is he was quite tall. Looked like he could have played defensive end, but he couldn’t run the forty or any other drill for me, so it’s only my personal speculation, and a moot point at that. Skol, Vikings!)

Someone has to stand up for the Minnesota Vikings, and the Daily Norseman facilitates doing so.

Let’s all keep moving the chains.

My thanks to all involved.

(P.S.: In the interest of equal time, a neice of mine is marrying a Packer Backer this fall, and I’m not at all concerned, There may be hope for humanity yet.)

Sure beats the hell out of actually working.

I was lurking for a couple of seasons, before finally joining not so long ago. Five years is an eternity in Internet years. Soon, the site will grow up, argue with you, drive off in your car and come home with someone you can’t stand… It’ll be great!
