All Set

Fans were starting to get a little worried with Vikes a couple of days ago not have one of their draft picks signed and training camp starting on Friday. All the picks have been signed to four year deals. Here is summary of the contracts of all the draft pick of 2008:

• 2nd Rd: Tyrell Johnson (S) contract with a bonus of around $1.5 million. His base salaries are $295,000 this year, $385,000 in 2009, $470,000 in 2010 and $555,000 in 2011. He also gets a one-time incentive bonus of $600,000 if is he on the field for 35 percent of the defensive snaps this season or 45 percent of the defensive snaps in 2009.
• 5th Rd: John David Booty (QB) received a signing bonus around $205,000. He likely received a larger signing bonus because he is a quarterback. He received the standard base salary starting at $295,000 escalating to $555,000 in the final season.
• 5th Rd: Letroy Guion (DT) base salary of $295,000 in 2008 and increases to about $555,000 in the final season.
• 6th Rd: John Sullivan (C) Sullivan received a signing bonus to Booty about $96,000 with a similar base salary structure.
• 6th Rd: Jaymar Johnson (WR) base salary of $295,000 in 2008 and increases to about $555,000 in the final season.

I cannot wait for Friday to come already. I for one is getting a little sick and tired with this bogus tampering change that the Packers filed against the Vikes. It was all orchestrated by Favre calling Darrell Bevell(suspected friend of Favre) with a team phone. The the hell is this about...I can smell conspiracy that id for sure.

What the hell??

What the heck are these crazy Packers talking about? The Packers filed a tampering charge with the league, contending Favre, who has asked the Packers for his release, has been talking with Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The two became friends when Bevell was an assistant coach with the Packers. This being said I believe that these allegations are all crazy talk coming from an organization that in disarray with the whole Favre situation.

Like all of a sudden Childress would basically replace his QB just like that.All the hard work,time and patience with T-Jack out of the window. Everyone in the organization have been praising on the way that T-Jack has been playing in the minicamps thus far this year compared to last year. Childress called the situation a "soap opera," and said earlier this week that it's been interesting to watch, but he remained committed to going forward with Tarvaris Jackson as the Vikings' starting quarterback.

Farve to Come Back Kinda

It was reported tonight, Brett Farve had asked to be released from the Packers, so that he will be able to play for another team. This news coming after his"itch" about coming back and playing in the NFL again. He would rather be release so he can choose what team and not the Packers organization.He does not want to be placing for a team that is "rebuilding" all he wants is playing for a winning team. So for all people in Wisconsin that have been kissed his a&& for the 16 years have been sucker punched in the gut from Farve when they all have heard this announcement.I highly that the Packer will take the request of just releasing Favre I can see a trade to the AFC before a release.
There have been rumors going around about him going to my beloved Vikes possibly, for what it is worth I HOPE THAT IT IS JUST A RUMOR. My hatred for Brett Favre is so deep I am not that sure what I would do if he play my team.I just don't think I would be able to take his cry baby antics all season long either. I am praying along with Daily Norseman, so this do not happen

Will Favre Make Up His Mind??

Will Brett Farve finally decide if he wants to retire from the NFL once and for all? It is getting a little sickening with him interrupting my baseball season geez.Here is the scoop, he claims that it the media trying to stir up some news. This comes a couple of days after,Rodgers goes off on SI cover story about him replacing Farve. I for one thought that it was about frecken time to set these fans up here straight.
So Brett decide if you want out of no please, you have been dragging out this for a couple of years now.Just let Rodgers have his time already, you are yesterdays news except to those Packer fans.

Vikes Trim down to 80

With training camp coming up fast around the corner, the Vikes had to release 3 players this past week to get the roster down to 80 for training camp. Who were the unlucky souls?Rookie defensive backs Marcus Griffin (Texas) and Travis Key (Michigan State). Both player were nothing more than average player is what they have shown the Vikes.

Kyle Wright was the final player to be sent packing his bags. Wright was worth a look, especially given his credentials coming out of high school. His college career was a little up and down at times.Wright did not display of what they Vikes were looking for in a backup quarterback. Someone will probably pick him up.
