Christian Ponder to Sign Stuff So I Can Give It To You
OK people, I'm not going to lie. This post is total corporate shill, but it's for a good cause. Namely, you may get free stuff out of it! And it's weird from my perspective, so we're totally rolling with it.
Word around the burning Metrodome campfire is that Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder will be attending a grand re-opening of a Champs Sports location at...

Vikings will rely on Rhodes to slow NFC North foes
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. For the past several years, the Minnesota Vikings have entered seasons with a preferred set of cornerbacks they believed could help them negate the pass-happy offenses in the NFC North.

Look at This Awesome Old Vikings Sweater
Look at this god damn thing. It's a work of art. The deep purple, the kingly gold, the horizontal stripes. It's like whatever grandmother knitted this reached deep into my wet dreams and retrieved this from the ether to display it so finely on a weird ass mannequin. Not that I'm complaining. While I'd love to wear it, I will also gladly ogle it like a picture of Jennifer...

Is Minnesota’s Christian Ponder the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL Quarterbacks?
Somehow, I know quite a few Minnesota Viking fans. A common trait they all share is their displeasure — bordering on embarassment — in regard to Minnesota’s starting quarterback, Christian Ponder. “We’d be fine if we had a better quarterback” is a phrase I’ve heard more than once from more than one disgruntled fan.
I must be honest and say that I haven’t spent a lot...

Today the review subject is Kyle Rudolph.
There were a lot of breakout Tight Ends in 2012 – Dennis...

Vikings new stadium will have a self-cleaning roof
The Minnesota Vikings vice president of public affairs/stadium development, Lester Bagley spoke with the St. Paul Pioneer Press and was asked how the roof on the new stadium will be cleaned since it will be clear.

The Vikings Powerball Number is 7
With the Power Ball jackpot hitting upwards of $600 million, it seems like owner Zygi Wilf and the rest of the Vikings owners should buy some tickets to cover the rest of the cost of the Vikings awesomely designed new stadium.
There is no doubt that that Mr. Wilf will fill in the number 28 on those little lottery tickets to represent Adrian Peterson.
I’ll go...

Cordarrelle Patterson Will Be a Bust with Minnesota Vikings
As a Vols fan, it was nice seeing a former player go in the first round of the NFL Draft after another abysmal year.However, that doesn't mean the pick will work out.When the Vikings took Cordarrelle Patterson 29th overall, it seemed like a good move until they revealed what was given up: a second, third, fourth and seventh round pick. That's basically the Vikings'...
Damn! The Minnesota Vikings Fly Through Video of Their New Stadium is Badass
Opening the roof over the new home of the Minnesota Vikings would have forced planners of the $975 million project to eliminate some of the fancy features. So the team, the public agency in charge of the stadium and the architects designing it literally saw the light. The yet-to-be-named multipurpose facility will have a translucent roof and moveable front windows. Bryan Trubey,...
