Four More Years of Chilly

Four More Years of Chilly

The Vikings and Brad Childress have agreed to a contract that will keep Mr. Noodle in Minneapolis through 2013. The numbers aren't finalized, but it sounds like he'll get between $4 million and $5 million a year. Not bad for someone who's never won a playoff game. Personally, I was really, really hoping we'd wait and see how this year played out before we locked up Childress for the long term. But what do you guys and gals think?

Brett Favre's New Wrangler Commercial

OK maybe not, but this video for "Wrangler Really Tiny Jean Shorts" from FunnyOrDie.com is pretty hilarious.

Good Favre song!

Lions/Vikings Highlights with Hometown Radio Calls

The usual awesomeness from the folks at NFL.com from this afternoon's Vikings victory.

Don't know if you guys have seen this but pretty damn funny.

Five Vikings! This is best new item for Vikings fans out there. I found it at www.jestshirts.com for under $14! They can take us to the Superbowl. I believe it.

So Sweet! Gotta have it!

Madieu Williams is Really, Really Generous

Madieu Williams is Really, Really Generous

Great story from the Star Tribune about Vikings Free Safety Madieu Williams giving TWO MILLION DOLLARS to his alma mater, the University of Maryland. The money will go towards health care research. Williams didn't want any attention for his incredibly generous gift, but I'm afraid I have to give credit where it's due. Kudos to Mr. Williams for reminding us that many athletes do great things with their wealth.

Winfield Back in Action

Winfield Back in Action

Some good news coming off a great bye week: Antoine Winfield was able to get on the practice field for a bit today (though not during the part of practice that was open to the media). Still don't know when he'll be back -- Chilly didn't address that today -- but Toine's apparently getting there.

Mayday! Mayday! The Josh Freeman 2009 White Flag has been thrown. By the way, Aaron Rodgers is this year's Great Game Against A Bad Team MVP. His stats have no correlation with his actual effectiveness. Even Al Bundy didn't hold his balls this long.

Bill Simmons, ESPN.com. Every once in a while, the guy is still good for a hearty laugh. That said, I'm happy the Vikings have the clear best QB in the NFC North.

"Save the Vikes" Pushes for Stadium at Capital

"Save the Vikes" Pushes for Stadium at Capital

Great story about a grassroots organization called "Save the Vikes" that held a small demonstration at the State Capital today in support of a new Vikings stadium. I highly recommend checking out the group's website and connecting with it in one way or another. Here's the website, here's the group's Twitter page, and here's its Facebook page.

Anatomy of a Play: Favre to Berrian TD vs. Green Bay

Anatomy of a Play: Favre to Berrian TD vs. Green Bay

Another nice job by Mike Mayock of the NFL Network to analyze the play that put the dagger into the Green Bay Packers last weekend.

Note the tackle by Al Harris at the end of the play where he grabs Berrian by the opening of his helmet while nothing gets called. Is there a dirtier defensive player in the National Football League than Al Harris? I generally don't hope for players to get injured, but after some of the crap that guy gets away with, I wouldn't shed any tears if something bad were to happen to him.

On the horrifically-awkward/hilarious-when-taken-out-of-context meter, I think Brad Childress' discussion of Brett Favre's groin easily shattered the record. By posting this soundbite, I, dear readers, have just lobbed you a softball...have at it. (HT: The Sporting Blog)

"He is Jared. He makes the plays. They pay him the money, and that's what he needs to do. But I think he's a (jerk), in my book, because he won't let me get on the field."

Too bad for Brian "Devin Hester" Robison, who has a tough time seeing the field with Jared Allen refusing to miss snaps.
