Listening to the Packers game today on WTMJ there were a couple moments that made me burst out laughing at the expense of the Purple People Posse.
During the pre-game lead in, Wayne Larrivee was going on about the uniforms as he always does and saying how great it was to see two teams playing with [...]
And apparently this year’s Vikings squad isn’t.
According to a story in today’s Press-Gazette, the Lavender and Lace has thousands of unsold tickets and are facing the possibility of a TV blackout for the first time in a decade. The team has filled just 56,000 seats for the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, leaving them [...]
What is up with the Vikings and their continuous need to sign players cut from the Packers roster? The breaking news today is that Robert Ferguson, our regularly injured former #3 receiver, has been picked up by the Purple Pride Pose.
So first it was Sharper, then Longwell (okay, that one makes sense), and now Fergie. [...]

I have taken appropriate steps, though, by admitting I have a problem and seeking professional [...]
It’s official, the Minnesota Vikings have hired Brad Childress as their new head coach. The decision came quickly (so quickly, in fact, that he cancelled a planned interview in Green Bay) after the team interviewed just a couple other coaches for the job. According to Mr. Critic at ‘Nietzsche or Nitschke?’, though, the early hype [...]
The Minnesota Vikings bid an abrupt adios to Mike Tice today, firing the head coach shortly after the team defeated the Bears 34-10. While the timing of the announcement is a little questionable, I doubt the news comes as a shock to anyone. Tice led the team through four mediocre years that included one playoff [...]
