The BIG BANDWAGON wins $5,000!

I give the Anti-Matt Millen Trophy to a guy that can pick 15 NFL draft picks w/o getting one wrong, but...

Steen's favorite teams are the Steelers, Yankees and Lakers. He really doesn't have any true hometown allegiances, as he moved from New York City to Washington, D.C., at a young age.

The Steelers, Yankees, AND Lakers? Really?

My Viking's Rube Dream

• Ownership and Management decide they WANT Cutler.
  
• They work out a trade for Cutler.
  
• Childress says he doesn’t want Cutler and attempts to stop trade. He says, “It’s him or me.”
• This was ownership’s plan all along and trade for Cutler and Chilly is fired.
  
• Vikings hire Mike Shanahan who knows Cutler and who’s system creates great RBs out of good ones.
  
• AP in Shanahan’s system, shatters the old record with 2,437 rushing yards.
  
• Vikings win Super Bowl.

I read this today. Enjoy:

Since i was 12 years old, my dream was to drive a Ferrari. I found a guy who will let me drive his Ferrari, but I can am only allowed to drive it for one day, and I have to pay him $5000 for the privilege. Actually, theres a guy with an even nicer Ferrari for $6000, which I can also drive for one day. I need that one instead. I can't settle for the $5000 one anymore. Doing this would make me so happy. Sure, I may seem like a selfish, money wasting sucker. However, change the word "Ferrari" to "Wedding Dress" and suddenly I'm not the only one.

Rant of an Angry Vikings Fan

It has been a little over 5 hours since the Vikings lost to the Colts in Week 2 of the 2008 season after dominating the first 3 quarters. Sorry, I should say TOTALLY destroying the Colts for 3 quarters. The following are my thoughts, what I am feeling at this moment:

* Shiancoe is a hopeless waste of money. He drops a TD again, early in the game which ultimately could have changed the course of the game. For those of you who forget, watch the Vikings-Chiefs game from last year. Also, it was a BEAUTIFUL pass from Tarvaris rolling out to left with some touch. I can't stress this enough.

* Chilly, Chilly, Chilly. Let me start with some praise. What you did at the end half was gutsy as hell and worked out for the Vikings. I wouldn't have guessed you would've done that in a million years. However, if you are not going to use your whole playbook with Tarvaris in the game, you need to start Frerotte (assuming you WOULD use the whole playbook). Currently, we are stagnant, predictable, and can't score touchdowns. Use the whole playbook with Tarvaris or put him on the bench. This is coming from a man who believes the Vikings have a much greater upside with T Jax at QB.

* Vikings fans who booed in the Metrodome today should be ASHAMED of themselves. We have a young quarterback searching for his place and we boo. Even is you were booing because of Chilly's playcalls you CAN'T boo. You just making the current situation for Tarvaris (one in which his COACH has little faith) much worse, we need to support him DESPITE of Chilly. Also, it is the second game (and the home opener) and we booed when up 15-0 vs. Peyton Manning and the Colts. Get some perspective.

* Dear CBS, where were you on the S. Rice injury? He limps off in the second quarter and you show trainers looking at him on a trainer's table. I don't remember seeing him play after that AND nothing was mentioned. What the hell? He is AT LEAST our 2nd best receiver and I would argue that he is our biggest game changer, after AP.

* Speaking of AP, hang in there. You were a man amongst boys today. A true talent. The best I've seen since Barry Sanders. If Chilly fucks it this year, we'll get you someone new next year. Promise.

McHale's Navy

I have realized the Timberwolves would've been better off with Tom Arnold running the team after we drafted KG instead of Kevin McHale.
