Since the big trade for Jared Allen (check out the commentary at TRBR) sent the Viking’s 1st round pick (and a couple of 3rd rounders) to KC, the Vikings can really sit back and relax until midway through the 2nd round (47th pick). I’m really hoping they are able to find a decent receiver [...]

Tonight’s Monday Night Football game was an important one in my world of fantasy football. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not having a particularly strong showing this year as I sit in 6th place with a 3-3-1 record. As of today I’d at least make the playoffs, but it’s still a pretty dismal year.
Anyway, going [...]

I haven’t been able to see him play yet, [...]

The Invisible Fence

I guess I’m excited for football as I’ve started dreaming about it already. Last night I had a dream that Adrian Peterson’s first NFL carry went for an 80 yard score where he showed exactly why the Vikings drafted him. When I woke up I went directly for the Star Tribune online to see how [...]

And with the 7th Pick…

Please don’t pass. Please tell me you’ve prepared enough for the draft that the 15 minute time limit is sufficient to choose a player. You may remember a few years back (I believe Mike Tice’s first year as head coach) the Vikings did just this. Unbelievable! Should have been a sign that Tice was going [...]
