Vikings Football
If there is one constant in the NFL is that there will always be change. Players and coaches move from one team to another, or they retire from a successful or moderate career. There are two factors to watch in any team sport: individual success and team success. They are separate, but can affect one […]
We’ve come all the way back to start another season of wonder and worry with the Minnesota Vikings. it seems like just yesterday we were marveling at the team’s ability to make epic and historic comebacks even though their defense was abysmal at times. The playoff loss to the Giants at home still stings as […]
The NFL has the formula for making it the biggest spectacle in sports. No matter if it’s the off season or middle of the regular season the NFL rules the airwaves. The draft has become a three day event, some people want the day after the Super Bowl made into a national holiday or moved […]
The NFL business model is to continue to expand the reach of professional football world wide. There are several countries that have semi-pro versions of American football, but nothing close to the NFL since the World League existed. Every year a couple games are played over there now where previously there was only one. Originally […]
I’d be lying if I said I was greatly impressed with the Minnesota Vikings draft this weekend. Thursday night started with the new General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Head Coach Kevin O’Connell sitting at the 12th pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. It was becoming more of an enviable place to be […]
Every year the NFL holds their annual draft where the new stars of the game may be chosen. I say “may be” because no matter how good a player is supposed to be they may become more infamous than famous if they are a bust. Ryan Leaf, Curtis Enis, Charles Rogers, Tony Mandrich, and many, […]
I have never fully understood how polarizing Kirk Cousins is to the Minnesota Vikings fan base. When he came in I know some people were so married to Case Keenum because of the Minneapolis Miracle that they felt that he was betrayed by management. It was a great moment and story, but where is Keenum […]
The shelf life of a professional athlete is not very long on average. For every Tom Brady there are several more Dimitrius Underwoods. The job status of a head coach can be even shorter. Sometimes a head coach gets his first shot at being the man in charge when he’s pretty long in the tooth […]
Winning your final game of the season is always important to the players on the field. Whether it’s just for pride or to put some plays on tape for next year they don’t care how it affects the team’s draft pick. As a fan that is also something we struggle to watch: we want our […]
There wasn’t much chance that the Vikings would win tonight’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Adam Thielen was put on injured reserve, Kirk Cousins was out after testing for Covid, and Michael Pearce was out due to illness as was Cam Dantzler. That goes without mentioning that the Vikings just haven’t played well this […]
