Carter on the TV market
February 6th, 2008 – 12:17 PM by Judd ZulgadFormer Vikings receiver Cris Carter will have to look elsewhere if he wants to remain an NFL analyst in 2008.
HBO announced today that after 31 years it is ending its run of carrying “Inside the NFL.” The season finale will air at 9 tonight. Carter joined fellow analysts Cris Collinsworth and Dan Marino as well as host Bob Costas on the program. Peter King of Sports Illustrated also contributed.
The show featured highlights from NFL Films and will continue on another network next season, according to NFL director of corporate communications Dan Masonson. The league owns the rights to the program and talks are underway with at least two unidentified networks. The on-air personalities were employed by HBO.
“Inside the NFL has been a hallmark program for three decades on HBO,” said Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports. “It has been a terrific franchsie. But the television landscape has changed quite a bit over the last 30 years and we have to recognize the realities of the business. I’m not sure we had more than one competitor when the show launched in 1977.”

Peace All!
fvf: i saw on an earlier post that you gotta go to detroit in march. whatever you do, you gotta go and get a coney dog. it wouldn’t be right if you didn’t…….
For years, Pat Williams has been regarded as one of the best defensive tackles in the league. When the Vikings snapped him up away from the Bills in the free-agent period of early 2005, it was seen as a coup. That feeling was reinforced late in the 2007 season when he signed a contract extension that will likely see him end his career as a Viking. But it wasn’t until after the 2006 season – his 10th in the NFL – that he got his first invitation to the Pro Bowl.
Even that invite was a little tainted. Williams was selected as an injury replacement for Tommie Harris of the Bears. But this time around, Williams will be heading to Honolulu as a starter – a honor that has been a long time in coming.
“I never really thought too much about not getting picked,” Williams said of his long Pro Bowl drought. “I figured all I could do is play my best and, if I get recognized (by voting players and coaches), that’s fine. If not, that’s fine too.”
Williams said his selection to the Pro Bowl last year was a nice break in his typical postseason routine. While the game is meaningless in terms of wins and losses, getting a chance to play in a tropical setting in February isn’t too shabby.
“Spending the week out there is great,” Williams said. “You can relax and enjoy yourself. The practices aren’t very hard and you get some time away to enjoy yourself.”
Williams believes that it wasn’t a coincidence that both he and teammate Kevin Williams were selected to the Pro Bowl as starters and, while the intensity level of the all-star showcase will be considerably less than a regular-season or playoff game, the Vikings’ defensive motto will remain the same.
“They won’t be able to run up the middle against us, that’s for sure,” Williams said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of game it is – preseason, Pro Bowl, Super Bowl, whatever. They ain’t gonna run against us. We won’t have it.”
TUESDAY NOTES
* From the Worst Kept Secret Department comes this: despite once again being selected to start in the Pro Bowl, Randy Moss will forego the competition and head home instead of Hawaii. He was replaced by equally volatile receiver Chad Johnson, who spent much of Super Bowl week doing interviews in which he publicly requested to be traded away from the Bengals.
* For those wondering why the ruling that Michael Vick can keep his $16.25 million in signing bonus money was heard in a court in Minneapolis, it dates back to the antitrust lawsuit brought by the defunct USFL in 1986, which technically won in court, but was awarded $1 by a jury, which was trebled to $3 as allowed by the court. The NFL apparently paid in change in the pockets of the attorneys arguing the case. Since then, Doty has remained the presiding judge in NFL matters, ruling on the Reggie White case for free agency, the Maurice Clarett petition to join the NFL after one year of college and other NFL labor-related cases.
* Former Vikings QB Shaun Hill signed a three-year contract extension with the 49ers Monday.
Just for you Buster come back and chat in 12 hours LOL
Monc
better keep that beer cold! Maybe you should drive here
wow, my ol’ lady has some splaining to do. I didn’t know she was a Hooter’s Girl…..

Actually, I’ve been here for more than a year. I just prefer to know the source of what I’m reading….

I sense a blog fight happening…
[…] Bleacher Report wrote an interesting post today on Carter on the TV marketHere’s a quick excerptFormer Vikings receiver Cris Carter will have to look elsewhere if he wants to remain an NFL analyst in 2008. […]
… none of them are my wife.
I prefer the term “concubines” …
stupid blog spam
APA?
maybe I’m just too dense to get it…
… is NFL>> saying that Judd essentially ripped off Bleacher Report and did a Monc-style cut-and-paste for our blog posting?
Say it ain’t so, Judd …
I believe that when you mean to say something, you should say what you mean so people know what you mean when you say it. Just don’t say anything mean, unless you really mean to be mean with what you say.
Nope, mine is front row, 3rd from right.
….hey, wait a minute!
Just a thought, the vikings should probably think about trading Adrian Peterson for Hank Baskett even up. Just a thought.
Ok, why the fakk can the damn blog spam get thru, yet every jeff damn time I try post I get the Slow Down Cowboy?
Gesus H. Christy on a cracker…
jerkpepper = 1046.3 horribles and 846.7 terribles
Do not mess with the cowboy. I got hail mary-ed by a Cowboy one time. I think the force is with the cowboy.
a box of crackers for Hank Baskett would be about right… or a baskett of fries…
Probably more than that today.
… I wouldn’t call that a ‘thought’, jerkpepper. Maybe mental flatulence at best …
Would I trade my Horrible and Terrible rating system for Hank Baskett?? That’s a good question.
… or diarhea of the mouth
How about a box of Chicken in a Baskett Crackers?
Can Hank Baskett catch a ball over his shoulder? Apparently that is a special skill held only by gifted NFL receivers. NOT TWill
Chick’n in a Biscuit = No
Biscuity Chicks = Yes
Gifted = special = Hank Baskett is on the short bus
Sweet! That means I’m on RTG’s good side….about freakin’ time…
Wait a minute Bud, wisvike said that you can’t fault the receiver for not making the over the shoulder catch if the ball isn’t rotating at a 45 degree peripheral something or another and you have right handed genetics when the ball is arriving at the number level and……brother
Gesus, go to the 3rd pine tree, cut to the inside, run like hell and catch the damn ball!
Well if TJack can’t throw that type of ball, then this IS all his fault after all! That no-good-non-jump-passing-son-of-a-gun!
So…I don’t suppose TWill could have caught a Joe Kapp pass then either, huh?
… you always were, VQ.
bis.cuit.y [bis-kit-ee] -noun 1. Desirable; tasty 2. To want completely; as one might sop up with a biscuit.
… oops. Biscuity = adjective
does that mean I’m fired?
RTG = dictionary challenged?
… I was thinking biscuit … warm, flaky … mmmm.

The blog hasn’t received any ‘Morning Wood’ lately. Must be the writers strike …
I’m more of a Chandler girl, myself…
I bet Ross blogs.

If you married Chandler, your name would be Viking Bing *giggle*
I didn’t know VQ’s husband has the last name of ‘Queen’…can only imagine what his first name is?
… his folks were fans of ‘Captain and Tenille’, so they named him Dragon, but he shortened it to Drag …
(*The previous statement is satirical and is probably not true.)
Poor guy…
Okay, off to class. 
… have fun! Ask a silly question.
ok ok we will update the mock drafts
17. Minnesota Vikings - Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami °
My strong suspicion is that the Vikings will make a move this off-season to acquire either Eagles QB Donovan McNabb or Browns QB Derek Anderson. Such a move would likely require them to trade this pick as part of the deal (or give it up in compensation as part of signing Anderson as a restricted free agent), but in the event that the Vikings keep the pick, defensive end is a position that would likely be addressed.
The Vikings gave up more passing yards in 2007 than any other team. And while filling a need at defensive end could be considered, the chance to land the best safety in the draft in Kenny Phillips could prove too tempting to pass up.
Uh oh, get ready for an early addition of Monc and his posts?
Grab a cup of joe, something to snack on and get comfortable…
17) Minnesota – S Kenny Phillips (Miami, FL)
Tarvaris Jackson is not the answer, but neither is a rookie like Andre’ Woodson (Kentucky). The pass rush has been a problem although with a bevy of young players at defensive end they aren’t likely to add another rookie. Other than picking up Eric Frampton off Oakland’s rookie scrap heap prior to this season they have done nothing to address their aging safety position. Both starters are over 30 and the backups are getting close. Phillips is possibly the only elite prospect at the position in this draft although he has already sparked widely varying opinions. That was also the case for different reasons with Antonio Cromartie out of Florida State. He turned out pretty well for the Chargers.
17. Minnesota Vikings - WR Mario Manningham (Michigan)…The Vikings fill their biggest need at WR… Manningham has big play capabilities and would give the team a playmaker opposite of Sidney Rice.
Silly Question:
If we have such a bad QB, and such a bad coach, and a rotten set of receivers, and poor DB’s, and underachieving DE’s - thus no pass rush…how in the heck did we win 8 games?
17 Vikings Calais Campbell Defensive End Miami FL
Most teams in the Vikings position would jump at the chance to take a wide receiver. However, with Brad Childress in charge, that might be the least likely scenario. The Vikes have spent a number of picks on defensive ends in recent years (Erasmus James, Kenechi Udeze) but none of worked out. Campbell may be the best available defensive player.
GPG…while we are waiting.
Any idea when Favre is going to decide to decide what to decide?
17. Minnesota Vikings: Phillip Merling DE (Clemson)
The Vikings are in need of some secondary help as well, making Reggie Smith (Oklahoma) a strong option here. However Merling is a great pass rusher, and adding him as a threat on the line will improve the secondary as well as helping the run defense. Merling should come in and start right away across from Udeze next season.
17. Minnesota Vikings – CB Aqib Talib, Kansas
Most mock drafts have the Vikings grabbing a WR here. Well, the Vikings offense hasn’t been nearly as bad as its secondary has been over the last couple of seasons. They can pursue a WR later or in free agency. Minnesota has finished dead last in pass defense in 2007 & 2006. Talib, a shifty playmaker from Kansas has the potential to come in and contribute right away for the Vikings. When he can get his hands on the ball, he makes plays plus he is under evaluated when it comes to being isolated with WRs.
17. Minnesota Vikings - Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC
The Vikings’ defense does not have many weaknesses but one spot it can upgrade is its right defensive end slot opposite former first round pick and fellow USC alum Kenechi Udeze. Jackson was a four year starter during one of the most productive runs for a college program in history and he has a ton of experience against the best available talent in division I. With Pat and Kevin Williams stuffing the run in the middle, Jackson is free to roam on the outside edge and pressure the QB.
Well hellos there my life less purple bloging friends! Your old pal Fragile is back from NYC where I attended the ticker tapes parades for my friends the NY Giant. I haven’t heard that much noise since GPG and I went away on our tropical trip.
Wow mock drafts …. about as exciting as baseball and Chilli’s TJoke led KAO…. ho hum…..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
… answer: we played some teams that were worse than us. And, we had Adrian Peterson.
T-Jax = mediocre
Chili = mediocre
Receivers = mediocre
8-8 = mediocre
17. Minnesota Vikings – Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
Tarvaris Jackson needs a target that can go get balls that might not be put right on the money. One point I would make is that Kelly has worked with young QBs. He made Sam Bradford a lot of what he is (a very good prospect) and could be a nice safety valve and redzone threat for TJ. Not great speed but good enough to get separation. He is big and plays like it too, which is rare for big young receivers. Would make a nice young nucleus with Sidney Rice.
17. Calais Campbell DE, Miami: The Vikes will either grab a WR like DeSean Jackson here, a S like Reggie Smith, or a DE like Campbell. This week I’m going with Campbell and his massive frame.
well off to supper
… what’s for supper?
17)- Minnesota Vikings - Jumping Jack Flash, Dipsh!t - U of Middle Southern Northeastern Alsaka State
A perfect compliment to TJoke and the clueless Chilldress. Jumping Jack led the nation in jumping for no reason. He could add to the famed TJoke non pass jump pass pass aresenal. And being a dipsh!t he knows the Childress O inside and out already. So he should be able to come in and contribute nothing . Just like Chilli and TJoke. He’s a steel here for the Vikes.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!
Nice, Buster. You have access to sites the rest of us just can’t find, not to mention some rather obscure colleges. The question is…will JJF still be available at 17, or will we have to trade up? I’d hate to see TWill, our wide dropper, have to go.
So, some teams are worse than us. OK. And is improving to 10-6 next year acceptable? I see the games we can win.
Good to see that Chili, Tjax and our wide receivers/droppers have improved to mediocre, too.
I don’t suppose you would agree with these assessments, eh Buster?
B. From what I’ve heard, Chilli is keeping a close eye on the draft… He has been rumored to package APAD and KWilliams to move up into the top 3 and grab JJF.
U of Middle Southern Northeastern Alsaka State doesn’t have a football program but Chilli has said this about JJF - “He has freakish ability lke Todd Lowonbeer who we let slip away due to a paper work snafu. JJF would make me look even more cluless than I do right now. And trust me, that’s pretty difficult to do.”
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!
Neither Chilli or TJoke or our WR’s are mediocore… The D and the running game carried this team.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
Buster = LOL
And to think I almost didn’t return to the AV today!!
By the way, Buster, did you ever turn in your equipment? I still have you down as missing two game jerseys and a helmet.
I traded those for a case of beer, 3 dirty movies and 2 large pizzas, B.G.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
Well at least you didn’t fritter them away on something senseless. Wonder what a B. Rhymes jersey would go for these days? Shop rag?
Is there any truth to the rumor Brad Childress fined Troy Williamson for not attending the Super Bowl?
Wasn’t his fault, he dropped the tickets into a sewer - somebody handed them to him over his shoulder. Chili tried to fine him, but the players union stepped in cause he still felt bad about not having his grandma alive.
Besides he was at Nike Vision II meetings. He’s learning how to look over his shoulder.
17. Minnesota DE Derrick Harvey, Florida
While the Minny D already dominates quite a bit in some areas, they still need some more help pressuring the QB. Harvey is a dangerous pass rusher off the edge and may finally be what the doctor ordered for Minnesota. Now it is true that both WR and depending on who you talk to QB are concerns, but I don’t think Childress is as unhappy with Jackson as we think and will likely look to WR later in the draft.
The Team: The Vikings Top needs are in the passing game and at Defensive End. The now have a dominate Running game, if they could put together a consistent Passing game they could have a great Offense.
The Player: Harvey is a passrushing machine. He is a great athlete, who I think can play Outside in a 3-4. In fact, if the Pats trade down, he is one player I would like to see at OLB in our Defense.
The Reason: I just think the Vikings will be looking for a DE, WR or OT. But, there defense is loaded with big guys who can dominate the middle. If you put a pure speed rusher on the Outside, this defense could be something. Harvey will give up ground in the running game, but he can sure pressure the QB.
First Choice: DeSean Jackson WR
17
NFC North
Vikings
Vikings War Room Discussion:
While the Vikings run defense was dominant, their pass defense was anything but. Their secondary is aging, and Kenny Phillips is a potential star at the FS spot. He has the talent to become a player along the lines of Ed Reed and Sean Taylor, his Miami compatriots.
7. Minnesota Vikings – Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
I had high hopes for Tarvaris Jackson, but he does not seem to be the franchise quarterback the Vikings thought he was going to be. He has been awful for the most parts of the season, and thanks to a great running combo of Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, the Vikings yet still almost made the playoffs. Woodson gives the Vikings their quarterback of the future. This pick only happens if the Vikings fail to get their veteran quarterback in free agency. Last year, the Vikings draffted Adrian Peterson with Chester Taylor on the team, the Vikings won’t be afraid to take BPA. DE Calais Campbell is another option.
last week someone posted a link about a young hockey player with a lot of promise being busted for drugs….does anyone remember where that was or could it be posted again please…..thanks
Hockey, or Baseball or Basketball that would be a big story but NFL it seems to be no big deal……kinda like the Pats cheating …you know there would have been hell to pay if it was the Texans or browns of Jeff knows the vikes

There really is no magic blog code
No matter how you spell it or crack it or perceive it
the outcome is the same
CHILDRESS and JACKSON must go . . .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
yep
Then move up and get Flacco because the Dolphins are seriously looking at him.
Just think how many coaches and QB’s around the league “must go” every year!
Two seasons of coaching with improvement shown, falling just short of the playoffs, a QB with about 15 games of experience who doesn’t yet have Pro Bowl numbers…they must go? Sorry, but the cse just has not been made. This is the year that things need to happen, I agree. Pulling the plug on these guys now would be far to impatient and impulsive.
Agreed. I like Chili at 8and8 better than that 0-16 year. At least it seemed like 0-16. I had that sinking feeling similar to the “dropped TD at Denver” in my gut for a whole season that year.
I agree with B. Grant. Sometimes I can’t tell if these guys are pessimists or impatient or both….
Bones
thanks for the 8:17 post…that is the story, but the original post had his before and after picture, and whoever posted it wrote “so sad, so sad”….still trying to find that article
Good morning all…

Good Morning Mud. (and all…..)
Another great day of absolutely nothing….

Chili will draft Mike Dragosovich in the second round. Can’t have too many quality punters on the team you know…
Thank Jeff the realists aren’t running the show…. -
there would never be any talent actually developed in the NFL.
Presidents would be impeached in the 1st 6 months of their terms.
The majority of the work force in America would be fired after 2 weeks.
Business would file for bankruptcy at the first signs of a struggle.
How many inventions would have never been made if the person gave up on the first signs of failure?
How many guys would have gone home dejected after the first sign of rejection?
We’d be talking in British accents and still be property of the U.K. since we lost the first couple battles of the revolution.
Yeah…..thank Jeff for the realists…
when does free agency start?

Dear,
It is my pleasure contacting you for a great business opportunity, though it might sound so surprising to you, but it is a fact. It involves the sum of ($9,000.000.00 USD) Nine Million United States Dollars) waiting for transfer from my Bank in South Africa, to any overseas Bank account. I am writing you with trust as a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money.
I am Mr. David Kaizer the Head of Audit Department [H.A.D], with ‘AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA ‘[ABSA] I am my colleague discovered this sum of money in an account during the course of auditing in an account opened with this bank in 1996 and since 1999 nobody has operated on this account again which has virtually remained dormant, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a (heir) hence the money is floating and if we do not transfer this money out it will be forfeited.
According to our findings, the owner of this account is Mr. Hamilton Greek, a foreigner, and an industrialist who died since 1999 in a ghastly motor accident on his way to Cape- Town. From my findings no other person knows about this account or any Hamilton Greek until his death, he was a member of board of trustees GOLD MINERS (PTY). This money can only be approved for payment to a foreigner, thus I contacted you to purport yourself/company as late Mr. Hamilton Greek next of kin.
We will be obtaining an affidavit of fact and other proof back up documents from the federal high court of South Africa, which will give a legal seal in other to authenticate you as the next kin and sole beneficiary of this fund. If interested, we will sign a binding agreement that will bind us together.
You are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business; so please reply urgently so that I will inform you on the next step to take. I will give you 25% of the total sum we will map out 5% for any expenses and securing of the documentations proof and 70% will be for and my colleague.
Send your private telephone number where I can reach you for more details, I need your full co-operation to make this transaction work perfectly because the management of the Bank is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you upon your positive response once I am convinced that you are capable.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down, and this business is 100% risk free hence I will be monitoring the whole transactions here.
If you are interested please call me on the above telephone number or respond to this Email: davidkaizer11@yahoo.fr
I await your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. David Kaizer
Things I am NOT saying…
- The Vikings will go to the Super Bowl in 2009.
- Chili is the greatest coach in the NFL, and knows it all.
- TJax is a future Hall of Famer.
- TWill is hopeless (well, I am almost saying that.)
I repeat taht I am not taking those positions. However, I am saying we are building this team in the right way, which takes a few years, and that we will see marked improvement in each of the years ahead with this coach and QB.
Could I be wrong? - oh yeah!!!
Could I be right? - I really think so!
Did anyone ask me? NOPE! but you have to read it anyway! (or skip this post I guess)
The blog’s been too dead lately - so I’m trying to instil a little life by some stirring of the branches.
I always like to include at least one typo in my posts. Record intact!
FVF - that’s not the first time you’ve been contacted by these scam artists, is it? I get e-mails like that a couple times a week. I’ve also played along with them to a certain point only to tell them a few choice words.
don’t you love those emails Fargo? There must be a lot of money floating around since I’ve gotten a few…
B.Grant - did you say something? lol
actually - I agree with your assessment, although if you repeat “taht” too many times, people are going to start thinking you are Buster’s alter ego.
How do you all think I’ve made my millions?
Yeah, I get them all the time…. Of course there are people out there dumb enough to believe that they are legit. Which is probably one of the reasons P.B.V. still lives in his mom’s basement. That, and the complete and total lack of a life…
Buster’s alter ego? Oooo, that’s a tough shot to take sew early in the morning!
I win an international lottery about once a month. I have a lotta, lotta money piled up somewhere, just can’t find it!
Disco - you could have added to your list…
“And we would have given up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!”
looks like our friend Alan Page has an award named after him now. (PFT)
2007 PFT HEROES: THE ALAN PAGE AWARD
As promised, we’ve commenced the process of rewarding one player at each position for his performance in 2007. The reward encompasses regular-season and postseason performance, and it won’t necessarily be driven by stats or wins or other objective measures.
The first award goes to a defensive lineman, and we’re naming it for Hall of Fame defensive tackle Alan Page, who was tearing up the league when yours truly first caught wind of the NFL back in the early 1970s.
Click here for more about Page, and to find out who won the first installment of the award.
http://beta.profootballtalk.com/2008/02/06/pft-heroes-2007-the-alan-page-award/
Damn Germans!
ALAN told me that he gave the award to Strahan ONLY upon recieving a promise from Strahan that he would fix that Jeff awful gap in his teeth…
I thought the Mexicans bombed Pearl Harbor??
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
WTF? Pearl Harbor was bombed?
Are they still gonna play the Pro-Bowl this weekend?

Seifert is not a good house guest
He was setting off fireworks all night …..again
My neighbors are really p***** off
MudHen Opinion Poll (aka MOP…potentially a recurring feature if your responses don’t bore me more than my job )
If you could have dinner with one, and only one, Viking–past or present–who would it be, and why?
Good Jeff, Mud! How do we pick only one?!?
Ole = Marissa Miller
I know you all would pick me….. Next poll…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
Ole - we expect that from Seifert, but is Judd behaving?
Mud
Just about Viking exept Buster Rhyme
We would be stuck eating the lime Jello at Nuttsvulle S.D.
I’m also a realist, Fargo.
With bannanas Ole….. brother…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!
I’d have to go with Cris Carter.
That’s the challenge Queen…I’ll start by saying Alan Page. Not only was he one of my favorites as a budding young VikeFan, he also has had a commendable and interesting life after football. I’d even say he was erudite if I knew what that meant, but I guess it’s a compliment.
Mud - if your job is anything like mine, you’ll be doing a lot more of those MOPs.
Speaking of CC…has anyone heard any comments from him about being passed over for HOF?
ALAN’S too busy dragging Strahan’s chicken a$$ to the dentist pijin, pick another…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!
Kato
Have not seen Judd or Burnsie since that first night at Hooters
KingKC unda Bus = Kivuusama Mays
Ole-King - Which one of you is Wasswa Serwanga??
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
Well…
…if you chose Tommy, he would buy you a drink!
…if you chose Buster, you would have to drive him home.
…if you chose Randy the freak, you might get arrested.
I go with Tommy Kramer.
(It was hard not to choose Kelly Holcomb. Brother.)
Alan was my first choice, but I also thought of Bud Grant.
dang it Rhymes, I was saving that one for later
B. Grant = stuck with a huge bar tab
Pijin, I think a better MOP would be- If you were stranded on an island. What 3 babes would you want to be stranded with?
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
It depends on what’s going on for that night.
If I was looking for a good time with some chicks, easy call - the Smooter.
If I wanted to catch a game afterwards, it would have to be Tice.
If I was really hungry and wanted some good food, time to call Phat Pat. (Could get my SUV pimped out as well.)
But if I was really looking to let loose and obliviate myself, and I was looking for an all out party night, it would have to be Donald Igwebuike - he would supply the party favours.
Ole = Spurgeon
King= Wynn
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
stroy
In response to that 2MT - aiougfeiugfei
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
Coach, I’ll drink your drink, I’m not buying you one. Where did that come from? I thought you knew me better. ….brother
I’m here for ya Queen. You’re livin’ the dream as we speak (type).
stroy = new name for shltty Troy Williamson.
Oh, and thanks to the cowboy for slowin’ me down!
Troy Williamson = SOD (Shaft of Draft)
Congratulations Tommy, stroy is correct!
Oh, so you only bought me drinks when I was making the decision to either play you or sit your hungover ____ on the bench, is that it?
Buster, stroy was in response to:

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: I usually hate mock drafts but Monc found this one and I think it bears watching:
17)- Minnesota Vikings - Jumping Jack Flash, Dipsh!t - U of Middle Southern Northeastern Alsaka State
A perfect compliment to TJoke and the clueless Chilldress. Jumping Jack led the nation in jumping for no reason. He could add to the famed TJoke non pass jump pass pass aresenal. And being a dipsh!t he knows the Childress O inside and out already. So he should be able to come in and contribute nothing . Just like Chilli and TJoke. He’s a steal here for the Vikes.
From what I’ve heard, Chilli is keeping a close eye on the draft… He has been rumored to package APAD and KWilliams to move up into the top 3 and grab JJF.
U of Middle Southern Northeastern Alsaka State doesn’t have a football program but Chilli has said this about JJF - “He has freakish ability lke Todd Lowonbeer who we let slip away due to a paper work snafu. JJF would make me look even more cluless than I do right now. And trust me, that’s pretty difficult to do.”
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
Coach, I knew you weren’t as dumb as everyone else thought.
Monc also found this one, but I can’t gigure out if it’s about Brohm or Woodson.
Monctonvike says:
February 6th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
7. Minnesota Vikings – Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
I had high hopes for Tarvaris Jackson, but he does not seem to be the franchise quarterback the Vikings thought he was going to be. He has been awful for the most parts of the season, and thanks to a great running combo of Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, the Vikings yet still almost made the playoffs. Woodson gives the Vikings their quarterback of the future. This pick only happens if the Vikings fail to get their veteran quarterback in free agency. Last year, the Vikings draffted Adrian Peterson with Chester Taylor on the team, the Vikings won’t be afraid to take BPA. DE Calais Campbell is another option.
…or else I was dumber than I thought everyone else was. (If anyone knows what I just said, please tell me.)
Troy Williamson: SOD or Stroy? Hmmmm…I would really like to call him “former”.
The Vikes won’t be taking a QB in the first round - it doesn’t matter who’s available.
A. There are more pressing needs.
B. It would be admitting defeat by Chili, which isn’t a character trait on his resume’ as of this time.
C. A drafted QB would equate to at least 2-3 more years of developing, which Chili and Spielman don’t have.
Good because I’ve got a feeling the T-Jax experiment is going to be a huge success….
You have chosen wisely, King. the force is apparently with you.
Let’s just draft a QB with one of the 3rd round picks or in the 4th. Let J-Jax have another year or two to either show us promise or that he wasn’t what Childress thought he could be. We can’t go in to next season with Bollinger and Holcomb as the backups.
Sorry, you can only post a new comment once every 15 seconds. Slow down cowboy.
I know, Obi……I know.
If B. Grant is Obi, then who is Darth Vader?
Me?
Happy Birthday to Randy Moss… 31 today.
Come back to the Vikings, Randy… we know you want to retire here.
BUSTER….
Stay where you’re at Randy……we don’t need no stinkin’ fair weather teammates….
VQ = Leia
KingKC = Han Solo?
my middle name is Luke, so I can be Luke Skywalker.
Luke Skytalker?
I always get stereotyped!
Luke, I’m your father…
GPG = Chewbaca
Did I spell that right? lol
Good day all!
Fair weather is better than no weather - yes?
I’d welcome Randy back to Minnesota with VQ’s or GPG’s open arms. (sorry, it would look weird if I had my arms open for him….)
Inferno = suffers from man-love for Randy…
And just so you know, I wouldn’t touch that jerk with YOUR arms!
Fine, I’ll touch the jerk. As soon as he gets the restraining order on me lifted…
GPG = very tall and hairy?
**fingers crossed behind my back**
Does anyone else want to harm Jimmy John’s when they see one of their stupid ass commercials?
Good Jeff, what in the hell is wrong with their marketing department?
… sorry, Buster. I watch the Vikings, not the Bears. Brother.
VQ = Luke’s father? Hmmm …
I could see GPG’s point of view. If Randy came back to MN it would equate to 2 losses for the Pack.
Might as well show the Subway 1980’s commercials that were shown in the 2000’s…
GPG = Chewbaca = getting some wookie???
Run him over with the Pinto. Vehicular homicide carries a much lighter sentence than murder….
King, as usual, has a point…
Jimmy Johns = stupid commercials, but damn good sammiches
VQ - I was thinking the same thing about many of the SB commercials… they really sucked this year…
Disco = had his fingers crossed for luck with GPG…let’s see…
Randy = tall and hairy and
GPG = tall and hairy
so…Disco’s in heaven! lol
… what’s wrong with foreign commercials for an American product? Apparently, they are staffed with multilingual people so if you call Jimmy John’s, all you have to do is mumble two or three foreign words and they bring a boatload (figure of speech, Freddy) of sammiches to your location. Een welke overeenkomst!
Fargo, no wookie for yours truly
but I have been known to sound like Chewbaca from time to time… lol
Poor GPG…
GPG - For some reason, the Randy thing doesn’t fit into that fantasy. But if you wanted to “moon” me, maybe we can talk…..
BTW - do you also make noises like Chewbacca?
I think we should trade T-Will to the Patriots for their 1st round pick that the NFL took away from them for the Spygate I incident…
shlt - gorgot to remind myself to hit refresh before posting….
I would welcome Randy the Freak back to Minnesota to retire, as long as he does so within the next 6 months.
I get to be Obi? Sweet!
Maybe it’s my throaty mumblings turning the gentlemen away from my door, Fargo.
I always thought sounding like Chewbaca was kinda sexy, but maybe not, huh?
Do you think I should shave, too?
GPG = needs a makeover…
Disco = exposing weird fantasies that the rest of us probably shouldn’t be hearing…
probably… most guys I know don’t go for the “european” look… Pit-fro’s not overly attractive. Although it sounds right up Disco’s alley
I think you’re on the right track Fargo. Maybe we can trade him to the Pukers for an 8th round draft choice.
a 2 for 1 deal:
addition by subtraction
and subtraction by addition….
….trade him with one of those poison pill clauses that says the team that takes him must play him for at least 50% of the offensive plays and must throw the ball to him at least 5 times a game.
Pit-fro’s = LMAO!!
…er, just for clarification’s sake, I was talking about T-Wil, not “Pit-fro” when saying Fargo was on the right track…..
Oh now come on!
My Pukers being insulted by you guys twice this morning already!
TWill = already working at Arby’s, Disco got a sammich from him, didn’t you?
Randy in Purple and giving the Pukers 2 losses? Never gonna happen again!
By Jeff Disco, I think you’ve got it…
As for me, your old pal Fragiles loves a good throaty mumblings…
The only purple Randy Moss will be wearing is the Purple Thong Ole mailed him for his Birthday. He now wants to retire as a Patriot.
…or at least a good throat… ;-0
I wouldn’t want a sammich from Arby’s if Stroy had been handling it… who knows how many times it would have been dropped on the floor.
How the heck do you make the face with the mouth open?
Oh Jeff, I’m cracking myself up… lol!
But I mean it - I can only do a sad face and a happy face, how do you do the ones with the tongue sticking out and stuff?
GPG = techno dork
GPGs, your making Fragiles blush…
Congrats to the Gophers football team, sounds like they got a good recruiting class. The Bison will still beat ‘em, though….
GPG - the tongue sticking out, which I just used, is: “:_P”, but leave out the underscore.
Who made Peter “King of Sports Illustrated?”
I did
I’m not a fan of Peter King or Sports Illustrated.
Gongrats…
Hi Kinks…long time on sees
*-BURP!… aahhhh
Peter King is a fraud I say….
: P
:P
Testing, testing…1..2..3…
Sat. Sept 13, 2008 Gophers play Montana State Bobcats. Should be a tough test.
Oh hell. Gorget it.
I’m a dork. A hairy, noisy one at that!
Fragiles = likes his women ‘earthy’?
What’s good, Freds?
Earthy? Earthy? I prefers them sea bearing….
GPG, I believe you have to have it at the end of a sentence or something like that.
You’re “hairy” GPG??? No shaved kitten for you???
:P
Bucky likes a smooth surface!!!! Aint no grass on a racetrack!
I suspects the only racetrack my old friend Bucky sees has five fingers.
Bucky = likes brush burn
Yeeeeeeeeah fragile….I have a beautiful wife and two kids…you’re right on with that assessment….dumbass
Mornin’ Bucky!
Thank you for your supports Buckies.
Mornin King!
… maybe it needs a nose :-p
Pedro Martinez + Juan Marichal = Vick’s soon to be cellies???
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7770738/Video-shows-Pedro,-HOFer-Marichal-at-cockfight?MSNHPHMA
… nope.
Emoticons = confusing *(
Racetrack for Bucky = 15 second Charlie master……
Sorry gals….
Morning Bucky!
Smooth and silky is the only way to go, boys… :-p
.
Oh for Jeff’s sake! Why can’t I get that to work?
Bucky = punter = still getting it off quickly
One more time.
:P
YES! I do believe I got it!
Actually, I’m not getting any, but that’s another story…
GPG = has trouble using tongue…
How about this one. :B
. :B
… hmm, only so many faces available?
LMAO…you guys are on fire this morning at the Buckster’s expense!!!!
No chance of that happening King, the video was from the Dominican Republic.
… no, it’s B)
… or, is it 
?
….yeah Buck, you could almost say we’re inferno.
shlt - wait a minute….
GPG doesn’t have trouble using her tongue, she just doesn’t have anyone to use it with
GPG = emoticon challenged
Have to stop for a bit, works to do…a la Fragiles lol! bbl…
.
OK, I’ll try it RTG…
Mornin’ Bucky!
… what about :@ ?
Bucksters,
Your pals are just kiddings, we know you have a beautiful wife and 2 kids… but I guess that doesn’t address the early launch problems.
… or :S
RTG - is that supposed to be someone with a cinnamon roll in their mouth?
Beaver. I have more fun on here than I do at work.
… nope. How about the party smiley
You people are out of your effen minds!
….and out your trees!
LOL @ GPG….isn’t that the truth!! Especially since the draft and FA is approaching, it will only get better!!! DRAFT CJ!!!
That’s one I like, too!
Thanks 2MT!

Does anyone else have the slow down cowboy message after EVERY FREAKING POST LIKE I DO!?!?!?
Seriously, I’m gonna do some work now…you kids have fun while I’m working, but if I hear any yelling or fighting, I’ll pull the car over.
Got it?
Got it…
… no. Well, maybe. The IM we have for our office has emoticons, and an angry face is :@. The party smiley starts with a less than sign, so that turns into nothing, I see. Obviously, there needs to be an ANSI Emoticon standard. Brother …
… no, Bucky. You’re the only cowboy being slowed down. But, word on the street is … you need to “slow down”. And, I know you know what I’m saying …
What’s a Slow Down Cowboy Message?
No more race tracks for Bucky. lol
Sounds like Bucky needs some Enzyte(TM) so he can be more like “Bob”!
He wants to be….wants to be like Bob. Like Bob…..if he could be like Bob.
Bob Lurtsema or Bob Berry??

T-Will Asks Family To Plan Ahead
Jackson, SC (AP)
Troy Williamson has asked his family to, in the future, try and schedule their passing in the off-season. “It really created some issues last year taking time off to deal with a funeral, and I’d like to avoid that in the future.” Troy said that he has given his immediate family calendars with viable open dates identified. “Some of them only allow for a 2 or 3 day window of grieving, so if they want me to grieve more, they’re going to have to plan ahead. There are some 2 week windows available right now, but they shouldn’t drop the ball and … what’s so funny?”
Asked his thoughts, Coach Brad Childress said, “I think it’s a matter between himself and his family, so I really can’t comment on … is this the calendar? He gave them last year’s calendar? Are you sh_tting me?”
Said Troy Williamson, “I didn’t have this year’s calendar yet. I figure it’s close enough. Leap year? No, we use the standard American calendar. We’re not Chinese or devil worshippers or anything.”
Bob Newhart? …Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. I always liked that drinking game!!!
Stroy’s calendar will be wide open when he get’s released. Then he should have plenty of time to deal with family matters.
:p
:B
:o
:O
What the f?
Nannanannabooboo stick your head in….
OK, how do you get the sunglasses?
MudHen, like GPG = challenged
Like this….
Not funny King…c’mon, help a fellow optimist out. :p
dang it
Oh yeah, and 
… hover your cursor over the icon and it will show you what to type …
Only thing is……..I’m not an optimist.
D’oh! although I swear I’ve tried that before…as the Mexicans who bombed Pearl Harbor (had to be here early today to get the reference) would say, muchas gracias!
That’s right King…we’re the Realists! I even proved it once mathematically.
…and I thank you for taking the time to do that. (Screw you BUSTER)
Close to home Disco:
No Thanks Broke back King… you Brown Noser…..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!
Not like that….

Here is some good New Vikings stuff from actual Vikings. (since nothing new here!)
Adrian Peterson - Wired for sound at Pro Bowl Practice (Hester sounds extremely educated in this clip)
http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d8068e045
Darren Sharper Interview - There was a great Sharper interview on there last night…but now i can’t find it…its about 6 minutes long - he goes into how he and the team fully support Tarvaris Jackson and he expects big things from him next season..and they beleive he is the guy…he also talks about the meltdown against the Redskins…and how close the Vikings are to being among the elite…if I can track it down ill post the link.
!
!
DDDD
About a hundred miles from here Tommy.
I couldn’t believe when I read the article:
**Kim Harris, who cares for a man who lives next door, said at one point police fired at the house after gunshots came from inside the home. Police “told us to get down on the floor and stay in the back of the house,” she said.**
They told the neighbors to get down on the floor as opposed to evacuating????????
That police department should be a candidate for idiot of the week.
Skipp - you can find the file talking about the Vikings being an elite team right after Bobby Ewing’s death file.
here it is I think?

Brad Childress Considers Drastic Change
Winter Park (UPI)
Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress stated today that he’s thinking about making a drastic change to his offensive play calling. “Well, not to get too technical with you, but currently I’m using an IHOP menu and, to be honest, it’s a good menu, it’s got some solid skill and abilities, but I think we might be moving past that. I mean, Chester Taylor right, Chester Taylor left. I haven’t ordered one of those in quite some time and … I think we need to consider other options.”
Asked what direction he’s planning to go, Childress responded, “It’s really too early to say. We’re going to different restaurants right now. Obviously, Chili’s is making a strong bid to get us to use their menu. But, honestly, it’s really limited. Now, TGI Fridays, on the other hand, lots of different options, but when it’s time to call a play, you can’t be sitting there trying to decide which play. Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s a kick-ass menu when you order properly. But, it might be too much for us right now.”
So, your QB might not be ready to handle a menu that complicated? “Tarvaris is growing into the position. We had lunch at the Senior Bowl. I thought he was able to determine what to order in a reasonable amount of time. But, he hesitated when asked what kind of salad dressing, and that showed me there’s still work to be done.”
Any non-chain restaurants? “No. No, you always want to move the chains.”
Champps? “Obviously, they have a great name. But, that could easily be altered to ‘Chumpps’ or ‘Chimpps’ if we don’t move forward. I’d have to think about it.”
Inside favorite? “Denny’s. They’re big in L.A.” L.A.? “Oops. I mean, Waffle House. Definitely, Waffle House.”
hey, I think I located our old friend PackerBacker Pete… Mrs. Pete is working at Arbys here in Fargo, she was working the drive up window.

Oops……I killed it again.
… only you can prevent blog death.
I wonder what AD thinks about his first Pro Bowl? Hmmm …
….I bet he thinks it’s great.
I bet he think Hawaii is great, the Pro Bowl is a meaningless game where he could get injured.
wow - 5 posts in the last hour.
You guys sure are listening to the SDC today.
yeah, he doesn’t want to get listed on the Smooter Boat Tour injury report….
Slllooooowwww day on AV…but I bet we’ve all gotten a lot of work done!
For any of you who missed the morning edition…a MudHen Opinion Poll (MOP)…
If you could have dinner with one and only one Viking–past or present–who would it be and why?
So far:
VQ - can’t decide between Alan Page and Bud Grant
Kato - Cris Carter
Ole - anyone BUT Buster Rhymes
MudHen - Alan Page
B. Grant - 2MT (assumes he’s buyin’ the ol’ coach a drink)
Buster - as usual not following the rules, wants to take 3 hot chicks to a desert island
Disco - says it depends - Smoot if he’s horny, Tice if he wants to see a game, Phat Pat if he’s gungry, and Igwebuike if he wants a real bender.
Any other votes?
I vote Disco sees O. and/or D. Smith before seeing Phat Pat if he’s gungry.
King - it won’t matter if he’s gungry after he visits either O. or D. Smith. All he’ll want is a bag of Doritos and a Coke.
… Demetrius Underwood. The guy was a stud.
A wall stud …
Pat likes Doritos….
….time to go. Have a good night!
Hola King!
Happy Chinese New Year!
I think you mean adios…or perhaps aloha.
Or perhaps…新年好
After a seriously pathetic offensive showing in ‘07 for the Vikes there was 2 things that help with the indegestion that our play calling and passing attack caused. The Giants single handedly upset the Packers in Lambuea (sp?who cares!) and I dont have to hear about the 19 - 0 Patriots ALL OFF SEASON. Thanks Giants for helping with the chilli I had that made me sick.
No, Hola = Hello, I knew what I was saying, and also knew someone would question it. I didn’t think it would be you though.
BTW, I believe 新年好 = Happy New Year…but I really can’t tell if the translation worked. For all I know, it’s Chinese for “stupid American.”
kung hee fat choy!
The year of the Rat
Buenos Noches!
And Mud, if I HAVE to pick someone associated with the Vikings, I’d pick…gosh, I’m having a hard time thinking of one…hmmm…I’ll get back to you on that.
Wu Zi
Can I pick someone who is associated with the Vikings, as in a fan of the team?
GPG would pick 2MT, because I would buy her a drink or 2….or 3, maybe 4. Awwww, whatever it takes!!!
Peace All! :O
. :0
I would pick Sean Salsibury, just because he’s acted with Adam Sandler.
GPG - the intention was a Viking player, but I’ve shown no ability to impose discipline on anyone else…so pick whomever you’d like or as 2MT was trying to say
Night all!
…anyone?
…Buehler?
…Buehler?
(for those who spend way too much time in here–like me–you’ll note the similarity to my first post today…let that be a sign it’s time to go home…or get a life…whichever’s easier )
G’night Mud!
And I’ll get back to y’all tomorrow as to whom I’d pick to have dinner with…so many choices, I’m having a hard time picking just one…
Toodle-loo!
You all disgust me.
Toad, buddy, where have you been?
GPG = Should pick Sharper. Duh…
OK pijin, I choose:
- Jennifer Aniston
- Angelina Jolie
- The hottest chick off the food network (Just to cook for us… you know after we’ve had a hard day…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
Buster = Wants Brad’s leftovers…
Has Brad dated or been married to anyone on the food network?
The Philadelphia Eagles placed the franchise tag on TE L.J. Smith Thursday, Feb. 7. Smith was scheduled to become an unrestricted free-agent on Feb. 29. If Smith were to receive a contract offer from another team, the Eagles would have seven days to match that offer. If the Eagles choose not to match the offer, then they would receive two first-round draft choices as compensation. If Smith re-signs with the Eagles, he would receive a one-year contract equivalent to the average of the top five highest paid players at his position in the league.
L.J. Smith wont be a Viking
Moss wont be a Viking
Johnson wont be a Viking as if the Bengals were to trade or release him - they would take an 8 million dollar cap hit
Fitzgerald wont be a Viking
Build through the draft, promote from within - get used to it.
At least they have had fairly productive drafts over the plast 2 years.
Todd obviously never read the book ‘How To Win Friends and Influence People’.
Angelina would a adopt a kid on a date, Im sick of celebs adopting babies from around the world
Rachael Ray is hot. Personally, though, I like the lastest Bond girl, Eva Green.
I guess that’s sad but true VQ….. Not to shabby tho…… I just want to “get to know them” anyway… not marry them….. brother….
IU could probably hook you up with ALAN… let me know…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
We are not buddys.
~T
Rachel Ray has a big a$$…. she’s not the one…..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!
Adopt them all.
Mister Buster
Considering that you are indeed a big a _ _ yourself then you should get along quite fetchingly.
~Todd
I wanna adopt you VQ I hear your a looker yourself

Big storm brewing with all the activity at Winter Park.
I hear from an inside source that Chili completed a 4 star Sudoku puzzle today….
Ironically A. Jolie was on CNN just now saving the all the other countries in the world. Meanwhile she steps on the homeless vets here to get to her private jet and save all the countries that if they could would destroy our country, actors stay out of it and leave it to the Gov’t and show some support to your country that made you as rich as you are today. Thats enough BS for me today….so is Jackson still starting next year?
Might be the same system that hit the midwest.
Best wishes Monc. Could be nasty.
NFL FREE AGENCY QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: What are the categories of free agency?
A: Players are either “restricted,” “unrestricted” or “exclusive rights” free agents. Within the categories are also “transition” and “franchise” players.
Q: What is the time period for free agency signings this year?
A: Please see Offseason Schedule page.
Q: What is the difference between a restricted free agent and an unrestricted free agent?
A: Players become restricted free agents when they complete three accrued seasons and their contract expires. Unrestricted free agents have completed four or more accrued seasons with an expired contract.
Q: What constitutes an “accrued season?”
A: Six or more regular-season games on a club’s active/inactive, reserved-injured or “physically unable to perform” lists.
Q: Other than accrued seasons, what determines a restricted free agent?
A: He has received a “qualifying” offer (a salary level predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players) from his old club. He can negotiate with any club through April 21. Then, because of the qualifying offer, his rights revert exclusively to his old club on April 20. Prior to April 20, if the restricted free agent accepts an offer sheet from a new club, his old club can match the offer and retain him because it has the “right of first refusal.” If the old club does not match the offer, it can possibly receive draft-choice compensation depending on the amount of its qualifying offer.
Q: What determines an unrestricted free agent?
A: A player with four or more accrued seasons whose contract has expired. He is free to sign with any club, with no compensation owed to his old club, through June 15. On June 16, his rights revert to his old club if it made a “tender” offer (110 percent of last year’s salary) to him by June 1. His old club then has until the 10th week of the season to sign him. If he does not sign by the 10th week, he must sit out the season. If no tender is offered by June 1, the player can be signed by any club at any time throughout the season.
Q: What determines a transition player?
A: His club must offer a minimum of the average of the top 10 salaries of last season at the player’s position or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater. A transition player designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match within seven days an offer sheet given to the player by another club after his contract expires. If the club matches, it retains the player. If it does not match, it receives no compensation.
Q: What determines a franchise player?
A: A club can designate one franchise player in any given year. The salary level offer by a player’s old club determines what type of franchise player he is. An “exclusive” franchise player — not free to sign with another club — is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries at the player’s position, or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater. If the player is not offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries of last season at his position, he becomes a “non-exclusive” franchise player and can negotiate with other clubs. His old club can match a new club’s offer, or receive two first-round draft choices if it decides not to match.
Q: Can a club decide to withdraw its franchise or transition designations on a player? If so, can it then use them on other players?
A: A club can withdraw its franchise or transition designations and the player then automatically becomes an unrestricted free agent either immediately or when his contract expires. The club cannot name a new transition player (two allowed in 1993, one in 1994 and one in the final year of the CBA). It can name a new franchise player the next year. A club can, though, designate a transition player in lieu of a franchise player at any time. Only one franchise and transition player can be on a club’s roster.
Q: What determines each team’s salary cap? Is it always in effect?
A: The salary cap is the absolute maximum each club may spend on player salaries in a capped year. For 2006, that amounts to $94.5 million (determined by a percentage of leaguewide “Defined Gross Revenues,” divided by 32 teams, made up of preseason, regular-season and postseason gate receipts and radio and television rights). The cap is in effect 365 days a year. From March 2 to the day before the season begins, a club’s top 51 salaried players count towards the cap, plus pro-rated signing bonuses, incentives, etc., but not base salaries of other players on the roster up to 80. Thereafter, not all salaries on a club’s roster count toward the cap. The salary cap for 2007 is $109 million.

BROWNS, ANDERSON AT A “STANDSTILL”
James Walker of the Columbus Dispatch reports that contract negotiations between the Cleveland Browns and quarterback Derek Anderson “have reached a standstill.”
Walker also reports that the three-year offer made by the Browns last month had a total value of $16 million, including $11 million in guaranteed money. Anderson’s people rejected the offer, and are seeking a deal of at least five years in duration.
Absent an agreement, Anderson will become a restricted free agent later this month.
In 2007, then-Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub was traded to the Texans while in restricted free agency, and he received a six-year, $48 million deal. Anderson has more playing experience, and the market has matured for another uyear.
The Browns are expected to place the highest available restriction on Anderson, which would give Cleveland the right to match any offer made, and a first-round and third-round pick as compensation for his services. Anderson would receive from the Browns a non-guaranteed one-year offer of roughly $2.5 million. Technically, the Browns could instead use the franchise tag, but the requisite one-year contract would entail guaranteed money in the range of $10 million.
Our guess? The Browns will be happy to keep him for another year at $2.5 million, or to trade him for a first-round pick. If he goes, 2007 first-rounder Brady Quinn would take over at quarterback.

FASSEL HIRE COMING?
A league source tells us that the private plane of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder currently is on the way to Scottsdale, Arizona.
It’s believed that the goal of the flight is to retrieve Arizona resident Jim Fassel, and to bring him back to Washington for introduction as the team’s next head coach.
Stay tuned.

EAGLES TAG SMITH
The Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time. Thursday is the first day on which teams can apply the franchise tag. And apply it the Eagles did to tight end L.J. Smith, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.
As a result, the Eagles must offer to Smith a one-year contract with a value equal to the average of the five highest-paid tight ends in 2007, which is $4.522 million. In return, the Eagles will have a right of first refusal as to any offers made to Smith.
Then again, no offers are likely to be made to Smith, since the Eagles would be entitled to two first-round draft picks if the offer isn’t matched.
Smith was a second-round draft pick in 2003, and earned a salary of $920,000 in 2007.
The team can remove the franchise tag at any time and make Smith an unrestricted free agent. If he signs the one-year tender offer before it is revoked, the money becomes fully guaranteed.

SPAGS TO BE HIGHEST-PAID DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that, as part of his decision to remain with the Giants, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is now expected to become the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL.
The specific dollars have not yet been reported. Jason Garrett of the Cowboys is the highest-paid offensive coordinator, with a salary that some say is $3 million per year. We’ve heard that it’s more like $3.5 million or $4 million.
And Garrett and Spagnuolo have each spent only a single season as coordinators.

GIANTS THE NEXT PATS?
Giants G.M. Jerry Reese already has said that he wants his team to be an annual contender, like the Patriots.
“That’s what you want to do,” Reese said earlier this week. “We have a really young team. We just don’t want to go away. New England set the bar really high. The league is not built for one team to stay on the top long.”
That’s a respectable goal. The challenge, however, will be to manage the salary cap over the long haul. For now, the Giants reportedly are $20 million under the spending limit for 2008. But that will change once the guys who contributed to that shiny silver trophy start getting in line for new contracts.
The key to emulating New England will be to get the core players to play for less money in New York than they could get elsewhere. With the Pats, the hometown discounts begin with quarterback Tom Brady, who arguably is the most underpaid player in the history of the game.
In New York, then, the pace will need to be set by quarterback Eli Manning. But if he approaches his next contract like his brother Peyton did in Indy, Eli will go for the biggest piece of the pie that he can get. And that will make it hard to keep a highly competitive team on the field over the long haul.
But with Eli coming into his own on the field, maybe he’ll develop into his own man off the field, too. Maybe he’ll look at how Brady handles his contract and how Peyton handles his, and maybe Eli will decide to do it like Brady.
Regardless of how it turns out, it’ll be interesting to wat

TORONTO BILLS?
Tim Russert’s hair is suddenly standing on end. (Oh, wait a minute . . . it looks like that all the time.)
Anyway, Bills owner Ralph Wilson thinks that Toronto is ready for an NFL team. And he thinks that Buffalo might be getting ready to lose one.
“It reminds me of my trip to Dallas a few months ago,” Wilson said of the city where the Bills will play eight games over the next five years. “They’re building in Dallas, Texas, everywhere, cranes, brand-new structures. And I see the same thing here in Toronto.”
“It’s no secret, Buffalo is diminishing in size,” Wilson added.
But the 89-year-old owner of the Bills wouldn’t comment on what might happen in the future. His family is expected to sell the team after he passes, and it could be that interests in Toronto purchase the franchise and move it there permanently.
Here’s my single shot for Buster and Monc:

Am I that easy to read VQ? I should work on not being so transparent.
For some of the younger players in the NFL, a trip to the Pro Bowl is a chance to establish themselves among the elite of the NFL. For veteran players, however, the atmosphere is much more laid back and fun. The older players have nothing to prove – they’ve shown through the years that they have what it takes to be a star player in the league, so getting the call to Hawaii is a reward that, in many cases, can be a long time in coming.
Darren Sharper has been viewed as one of the top safeties in the game for several years, but when he was released by the Packers following the 2004 season, the theory among Packers fans was that, while his salary cap number was a factor in his dismissal, the bigger issue was that his contract was big and the return on the money wasn’t going to be there.
Do they still feel that way? Probably not so much. In his eight years with the Packers, Sharper was named to two Pro Bowls. In his three years with the Vikings, he has been named as the Pro Bowl starter twice, including this year.
Sharper, however, doesn’t have time for bitterness or asking “what if the Packers had kept him?” For him, the Pro Bowl isn’t about playing the game, it’s about having fun in the sun and playing a game when all is said and done.
“It’s more of a relaxing kind of trip,” Sharper said. “They make sure you enjoy yourself, because you have been rewarded for the year that you had and they want to make sure that you’re rewarded by having a good time in Hawaii. It’s pretty hard not to have a good time in Hawaii.”
The week of practices are pretty laid back, but Sharper is ready when things start up for real on Sunday. While the pay for the winning team is more than that of the loser, the money isn’t the issue. Sharper said that, regardless of how much fun the players have during the week, once the whistle blows on Sunday and the game begins, it becomes an exhibition in name only.
“The week before the game is more relaxing and letting guys enjoy themselves, enjoy their families and appreciate that season that they had,” Sharper said. “But once the game starts, the natural competitiveness of guys makes you want to play hard.”
WEDNESDAY NOTES
* What can a good season do for you? Ask Packers coach Mike McCarthy. Based on the great season the Packers put together, McCarthy was given a five-year extension through the 2012 season.
* Some wounds run deep. Former Packers G.M. Ron Wolf was quoted in a Milwaukee newspaper last weekend blaming the coaching of Mike Holmgren for the Packers’ loss in Super Bowl XXXII. It’s been 11 years, Ron. Let it go.
* Jeremy Shockey, who has been reported to actually be upset at the improvement of the Giants offense since he went down to a season-ending knee injury, didn’t take part in the Giants parade through through the Valley of Champions in New York City or the rally at the Meadowlands. In fact, he wasn’t even on the sidelines during the game. Instead, FOX cameras showed him in a luxury suite throwing back drinks during the game.
* Former Vikings QB Warren Moon pleaded not guilty this week to DUI charges stemming from a Dec. 28 arrest in which he refused to take field sobriety or breath tests. A pre-trial hearing is set for March 31. The Dec. 28 incident was the second time in 2007 that Moon was pulled over for drinking-related offenses. Earlier in the year, he was pulled over, but wasn’t charged with a DUI after blowing a .067 and .068 on a pair of Breathalyzer tests, both under the legal limit of .08 for being legally intoxicated.
Build through the draft? Last years draft had two impact players, Rice and Peterson. Some of our busts, Demitriuss Underwood, Troy Williamson, Ryan Cook, jury still out on T-Jax. 2006 we drafted Greenway, first round. Good ball player, but not and impact player.
To make room for Greenway, we released another first round player, that played the linebacker position, and just had a great year, Napoleon Harris. So our upgrage at linebacker was not that great to spend a first round pick. Poor personnel decisions = 8-8 team. Overall our drafting scorecard is about a D+. Trade our picks for proven NFL caliber players, would be the smartest thing the vikes could do, or at least upgrade our scouting dept. Bye, Scott Studwell
night all!
Did anyone catch sharper on the NFL network last night
when asked who he is most excited or who he would like to play with in the pro bowl and he said ( I am almost quoting him word for word) That he most enjoys playing against the opposition he is looking to playing against maning and wishes Farve was here so he could play against him…….* Darren…….are the pukers moving to the AFC? LOL
He later compared the vikings season to the patriots loss in the super bowl by saying it wasn’t about the other teams beating us it was us no executing…..and blah blah T-Jack is the man
Goodnght Mister Inferno. Have fun committing crimes tonight.

First of all Sharper, The Pats were expected to win The Vikings were expected to suck and they did, so there is no comparison

FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!
Mister buster is a big bat duuuuuuuuur. Pass it on.
~TAF
Look at the w’s I miss when the vikings used to win
Shut da Faaack up with the slow down cowboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is rather unappropriate Mister Monctonvike.
~Your advisor Todd Flaxton
Anyone care to guess, if the vikes will ever win a sb, with the current owner, and the present coaching system?
……..I will take a stab at it and maybe under current owner very unlikely with the coach
Now the Giants did prove that we can win with an moron for a HC they have a great d CO .
They also have a pass rush we don’t
Bring back Jason Carter!
Vikings has the 8th most sacks last season, but I guess that’s not a very good pass rush.
has = had
well Kato considering that is because of 0ur LB’s as much as it is DE’s whick leaves gaping holes in the middle of the field
the vikings were 32nd in pass def
No DE with more than 5 sacks
High we were tied with Cincy weren’t we?
yeah tied for last there whew that was close thanks Cincy
RIP Blog!
they were 32nd in pass yds allowed, but where were they in points allowed via passing? That’s more important than yds allowed.
The Vikes were tied for 15th in passing TDs allowed. Not bad considering that most teams were just passing all day cuz they knew they couldn’t run on the Williams wall.
With that said, I still think the Vikes need to upgrade at safety in the draft or free agency in order to improve the pass defense. Sharper and Smith (if he’s not cut) and Doss are all over 30, I think.
Yes we need a safety we could use a DE I would prefer we get a VET at DE because I don’t want the vikes to become the Lions of DE’s on draft day
VIKINGS HIRE SUGGS
Ravens cut im 5 minutes ago
except the pukers and redskins who ran all over us
oh yeah and passed all over us, were one williams injury away from being dead last in all def stats
Helping set records is nothing new to Richardson, a veteran who just completed his 13th year of service in the NFL. Before joining the Vikings prior to the 2006 season, Richardson spent 11 campaigns as a Kansas City Chief, where he earned two Pro Bowl selections, helped the offense rank first in yardage twice and led the way for Pro Bowl rushers Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson.
Aside from his prowess on the gridiron, Richardson is a well-rounded person with many interests and post-football ambitions. Because of this, he is an excellent player to speak with about what happens at the Pro Bowl outside of football activities.
As he was enjoying his third day in Hawaii, Richardson phoned home to check in with vikings.com. Here is what he had to say…
vikings.com: Besides the Pro Bowl and practices leading up to the game, what keeps you busy each day?
TR: Since Monday I’ve had free time each day after practice. We’re usually done with practice before noon so we have the rest of the day to sit by the pool and hang out. I’ve had a couple of interviews here and there with NFL Films and NFL Network, but it’s been mostly free time after practice. Later this week, though, I have some community activities planned and some other appearances.
vikings.com: What are some of the community events you’ll be involved with this week?
TR: I’ll be working with Tony Gonzalez a lot this week with his Shadow Buddies program. We’ll visit children’s hospitals and try to brighten up some kids’ days. Also, Tony is working with Oprah on a reality television show that also deals with charity. He is going to be challenging guys like me to donate more than we donated last year to charities that are important to us. I also have an autograph signing later this week. So there will be a lot to keep us busy once the week gets going.
vikings.com: Is there a lot of national media coverage in Hawaii?
TR: You know, there really isn’t. NFL Network and ESPN are of course here, but a lot of other networks don’t make it out here. But the local Hawaii media cover it every day. The Pro Bowl is a big deal for the local people here because it helps out their economy a little bit and it provides a little more action.
vikings.com: Is it fun to be out here with six other teammates?
TR: Yeah, it is a lot of fun. I remember one year when I came here as a Chief we had a good amount of teammates. Other than the Cowboys, who have 12 or 13 out here, I think we have the most from one team. So it feels good to be out on the field and see a lot of other purple helmets on offense and defense.
vikings.com: Who did you bring with you to the Pro Bowl?
TR: I brought out my parents and family members, so they’re having a good time. Also, Adrian and I are brining out the other running backs on the team. So Mewelde (Moore) will be here and Chester and all the other guys, along with EB (running backs coach Eric Bieniemy). It will be good to have those guys out here, too.
Onenote; why settle for 15th in passing TD def, thats all every body does here is say well thats not the worst, thats not that bad, 8 - 8 is average. Lets get some players above average and finish above average for once
I am with ya High
Buster all though he was being funny posted some entire seasons and was nice to look and see the vikes winning being a regular thing
we are built to win Now…
I think because of his style of play AP will have a shorter career the D is aging
winfield, Sharper, Big Pat are all on the wron side of 30
Birk has a season or two left, Hutch is inching closer to 30
Chester Taylor is almost 30 I know we have alot of young talent too but where is this team with out the above mentioned
We need real WR’s DE’s and maybe a great young safety and we are not just playoff bound we are contending
I know I left out QB, I don’t think we can address all of those this off-season with FA and the Draft
If the WR’s are good enough they can make T-Jack look better
If the D spends more time on the side line we will get more wins( pass rush …Giants secondary is not amazing but they showed it doesn’t matter if the QB does not have time to throw the ball)
AP will be running wild if we had a true #1 wr that would command double cvoverage. This would also leave wade and Rice and allison or ferguson in siingle coverage
Trade Williamson for anything you can get otherwise cut him before we have to pay him 7 million a year
If Zygi and Chilly talk that rebuilding crap this off-season they should be flogged in the streets of ST.Paul or Minnenaplouse LOL @ Minnenaplouse
night all
Menopausolis?
Buster and Monc:
Everybody likes reading your comments, but please keep them to a couple of sentences! People skip over the long posts and they are missing your best comments. No more BLOG CHALLENGES!!!!

TOP 10 REASONS TO KEEP BRAD CHILDRESS
who will start us off ???
be creative now …
Drafting TJ and AP ..
not good enough
well 1 out of 2 is ….
- Realizes the need for a long term plan and the importance of player conduct.
- Has instilled the mindset that a running game and strong defense will eventually make a dominating team.
- covers his mouth with white cardboard during critical conversations to befuddle the Bill Belliceks of the world.
- provides excellent blog fodder
(can you go with these pathetic?)
The aging stars are a prime example of why a long term plan using the draft is the way to go. If you use free agency to “build” a team, they are useless by the time it actually happens. The challenge for Wilf and Chili is to remain competitive for ticket sales while you improve the roster the right way.
The hidden meaning in the comments by the new Viking brass of “doing whatever they could to improve the roster” was that the condition of the roster in the long-term analysis was not good. Too many aging FA’s, not enough rising quality youngsters. That is changing.
Build a team with the draft, plug a hole or two with free agency. Not the other way around.
Chili’s critical conversations being covered by the IHOP menu = “Yes, I’d like the ultimate flapjack stack, with whipped cream and strawberries, 4 slices of bacon, hash browns, and a glass of orange juice”
There are not 10 reasons why we should keep Chilledgreymatter… There are however 100’s of reasons to dump his sorry a$$…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!
Anyone read Sid’s column on free agency?
My translation:
Mewelde’s gone
T-Rich is too old
Farwell we’ll actually try to keep
Dontarrius will come back cheap because nobody else wants him
There, I just saved you the trouble of reading hundreds of words…sort of the anti-Monc/Buster post
Chilibert Einstein is a genius I say….
MHFV - I just read that sotry and I think your translation is off, here’s my take:
T-Rich is 36 and they’ll bring him back, but only under their terms.
Thomas and MeMo = Gone, Both want a chance to get more playing time.
Farwell = Wants to stay, was the SP MVP and will get a nice contract to stay.
sotry = story, geesh, what is this B. Grants Spelling school?
A lot of the media were surprised the Vikings didn’t make an effort to sign Moore during the season and the feeling was that he wouldn’t be coming back, but Childress says he would like to keep him.
“Moore had a good year for us last year and did some good things. He’d like to play more, and I can’t begrudge a guy an opportunity to do that,” Childress said.
“What you lose with him is his return ability, but the snaps were going to be minimal with guys like Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. So, you respect that, if we can get him back at the right price, we’ll do that; otherwise he’ll probably be moving on. But those are how we kind of value judge those situations.”
- Childress quotes on Mewelde Moore
B. Grant & 2MT = graduates of the Monc & Buster skool of speleen?
Methinks 2MT snuck a drink or 2 into class….
It’s not that easy to say a lot and say very little at the same time, but Childress seems to be good at that.
Youthinks or you knows?
Coach, the only thing I’m drinking this morning is grape juice. Need to get some antioxidents in to the system.
2MT = grape ape
I’m drinking a Sunkist Orange… nothing healthy there…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!
what drink has antisuckidents?
GIVE CHILI SOME!
Disco, he’d drown before he could drink enough to help him…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!!
Buster - drinking a little Optomist Orange today?
(must have ran out of pessimist pineapple or realist raspberry)
LOL
well, that would be one way to get rid of him I guess……
I completed an awesome jump pass pass to Wade on a drag route for a crucial first down on Madden last night…
Red Bull?
King - self Brown Nosing is the most pathetic form of Brown Nosing…. brother…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!!!
I know there’s a joke in there somewhere with the Red Bull and being full of it…..
Yeah, and….
self brown nosing = what happens when your head is in your (_*_) …..
Does anyone know if a tulibee (cisco) is the same as a whitefish?
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with pattin’ yourself on the back every now and then. I deserve it….
(Shaddap everyone, I need to blog!)
Sorry to bring work to the blog, but it had to be said.
The spelling commant hurtz. I have come so far, onlee to be beeten back doun bY this SEnseless CRITicism.
EXTEND CHILI’S CONTRACT NOW!!!!!!
Good to see you so nutritionally focused Tommy. You always leaned heavily toward the liquid portion of your diet.
(My secretaary said I spelled everything right. A!)
I’ll check with Pell on your question King. He will know. If it helps, a whitefish is not a nothern.
By the way, turn around - Pat, Pat, Pat. (that was his BACK gutter minds)
Smoked Ciscos = wife’s favorite = nasty crap
Oh, wait. You said “whitefish”, not “wife fish”. Never mind …
I’m sorry, did I miss a fire drill? Hello…..?
Shaddap = B. Grant read a lot of ‘Andy Capp’ back in the day?
Smoked whitefish = delicious
MOP of the Day
If you could make any past or present Viking player or coach president of the US, who would it be and why?
Joe Kapp - yes!
Andy Capp - huh?
“nasty crap” - Jim Gaffigan!
RTG, that insinuates I am old and can/want to read. You might be wrong.
Mister Random–
I am willing to venture a guess that the most compelling novel in your library is a Calvin and Hobbs collection.
~toff
Too easy, Mudhen. Chili and I in a neck-and-neck…!
no RTG, that would be Joe Kapp
Mornin’ Toad!
I actually prefer Dilbert to Calvin and Hobbs myself…
B.Grant + Chili = Neckin’?
Mr. Todd Flaxton - You mean to tell me there’s a novel of Calvin and Hobbs? Whodathunk….
maybe they’re signing up for the Diet Pepsi Max “Night at the Roxbury” commercial that they played during the Super Bowl?
what a novel idea Toad, I may have to go to Barnes & Noble and search for said piece of literature…
Mudhen — Alan Page for President!
Hi, all. Long time no read.
My name is Todd!
Thats what I said Toad…
Tommy! Stop calling him Todd!!!
Mornin’ South
… I have all of the Calvin and Hobbes collection. I miss them.
Andy Capp. C’mon. I’m not that old.
Jerry Burns for president. How great would that be?
“Mr. President, Congress is blaming your secretary of state for the current foreign policy crisis. Your comments?”
“I’m tired of people complaining about Bob Schnelker! Congress should shut the f*spurgeon*k up! They don’t know a g*spurgeon*n thing about this! I’m sick and tired of hearing that we don’t know what the *spurgeon* we’re doing! …”
yeah 2MT, look how upset you’ve made him. You heard the man, his name is TOAD!!!
We kinda have that now…
Jerry Burns = Dick Cheney?
Mornin’, Fargo. Just got my first Slowdown Cowboy. Feels like I’d hardly been gone.
And Todd, the correct syntax is “I AM TODD!”
you got it wrong South,
its “I AM TOAD!!!”
My mistake.
which by the way, I am not, so also acceptable is
I AM NOT TOAD!!!
I AM NOT SID EITHER!!!
Ah, I see the Slow Down Cowboy finally got up out of his bunk… Late for work today he is…
I’m going with Denny Green. When it comes to those terrorists, he would know that they are who we thought they are. But he has learned from his experience, and he would not let them off the hook again. Plus, based on his tenure at Minnesota, he would reduce the defense spending drastically.
We’ll let it slid, its Friday )
slid = slide
I’m letting that slid, too.
yeah Bud, but he’d also call for the troops to take a knee when they could’ve instead kept asserting their dominance, allowing Al Quaeda to keep the war close. Then we’d lose at the end when our missle launcher misfired for the first time all year…
If you want a strong defense, Alan Page is your man. Our defense was amazing then, yet our defense budget was just a fraction of what it is today.
And you have to like his judgment. (You know, being a state Supreme Court justice and all…)
Sorry Todd, or ah Toad.
But remember, there is no room for crybabies in the NFL, OR the presidency. (note to Hillary)
(and, as we all know, there is no crying in baseball either.)
If you want an aggressive national defense, perhaps Joey Browner would be a better choice…Alan Page seems to have mellowed behind the bench.
Joey Browner would level the entire Middle East….
A little mellowing can be a good thing. We don’t want to keep making pre-emptive strikes against alleged threats all over the place.
South - yes we do, because of what King just said OK, just kidding…well…mostly.
anyone else already sick of all the political ads on TV?
Haven’t had many yet in Ohio…primary’s not until March 4th. Expect we’ll be getting a bunch of Clinton/Obama ads soon. Of course maybe my penchant for skipping commercials all together will save me the indigestion.
Creating Lake Baghdad might be the answer. We could stock it with Walleye, Crappie, Bass, Whitefish and even Tiger Trout, and actually make the place of some use.
Ice fishin’ this weekend King?
EXTEND CHILI’S CONTRACT NOW!!!!!!!
Better late to work than never…
… better late than “the late” …
I was thinkin’ Square Lake near Stillwater…
The late SDC sounds much better….
Should be cold enough for the ice to be biting.
I realize nobody asked me, but I really think the AV could use a new blog stroy. I was so sure this would be the day!
I agree Bud. However, this blog has proven that a stroy, or even a story, is not necessary for active participation, as you can see from the lively banter in the past half hour.
So, how’s the family?
Rookie Experiences His First Pro Bowl
Honolulu (AP)
Adrian Peterson is taking in all of the sights, sounds, and smells of his first Pro Bowl, and it’s been an eye-opening experience.
“The first day we arrived, it was awesome. The people here are really friendly. We stepped off the plane and they immediately offered us lays. Reminded me of my college days. How’s that for hospitality?” Flowers, right? “Yeah, they were wearing flowers. But not much else.”
Adrian spent his first day sightseeing. “We went souvenier shopping and I found this cool tiki statue. It makes a great necklace. I’ve got it on. See?” Had any odd experience since then? “Funny you should say that. My dad was wearing it the day and woke up with a crick in his neck. And, my brother was wearing it while surfing.” And wiped out and almost drowned? “No. No, he caught this huge wave and rode it to the beach, then caught the eye of this major hottie. We haven’t seen much of him since.”
Adrian brought some other team members with him as a showing of appreciation for helping him earn a trip to the Pro Bowl. “We attended a luau the other evening. They took a whole pig, stuffed it with hot rocks, then buried it in the sand. Birk and Hutch buried McKinnie and gave him a tube to breathe, then moved the sticks that indicated where the pig was buried to be over McKinnie. You should have seen their faces when then dug down to pull out the pig and found him, instead. We never did find where the pig was, though. But they still made me pay for it …”
Asked if he’s looking forward to the game on Sunday, Peterson responded, “It’s an honor to play with and against other players who have been recognized as the best at their position. I relish the challenge.” Is he afraid of getting injured? “Of course I’m worried. Idiot! Some Packer slappy come along and roll up the back of my leg again! Just for some no-count pick-up game! *Bleep*!”
Well, as you may have heard, my gradnson is going to attend the U.. (does this require two dots at the end?) We are very proud of him, as you might expect.
I think that’s a three … er there B.G…
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!!!
Well, you certainly should be proud of him. He’s a fine young man. Maybe he can be a Viking some day.
I will consider that a new stroy, RTG. Thank you! Now, back to my job for a gew moments.
Trust me, if I resign, Junior will take over my stead…I’m already trained him to be my successor (emulating the Bobby Knight model). Soon he’ll be throwing chairs across the hardcourt aka stopping blog posts just like his ‘Pops…
Well done RTG…although you gorgot to mention how–when Chester borrowed the tiki necklace–a big war mask fell off the wall nearly decapitating him. Boy would we have needed Mewelde to stay then!
Pro Bowl = could just as well be played by having McCarthy and Turner go head to head at a game of Madden 08…
I’m outta here, blog ya later!
