John Randle Hall Of Fame Speech

Hello everyone here is the video of my all time favorite Viking John Randle. He is the reason why I am a Viking fan in the first place. I loved the way that he played the game and his HIGH energy he brought to the game.

Above is his Hall of Fame induction speech, so enjoy. Well Viking fans, I hope that we can make it 3 years in a row next season with an induction of  Cris Cater(keep your fingers crossed.

Saints Defensive Coordinator Still Talking

With every team well most of em at least in the NFL in training and thinking they all off a shot for a championship, it is time to get your team fired up. Well the Saints Defensive Coordinator(Captain Cheapshot) is talking already about sending a message already for the 2010 season.

I do not think ANY Viking fan will ever forget the 2009 NFC Championship game with what the Saints did to Favre. They did not get to many sack, but they sure did bruise him up with laid hits and missed calls. It is what it is.

Just think before that game, I did not mind the 'aints well  not anymore that is for certain. Williams says that the Saints will be starting with #4 with hits to remember. If i were Sean Payton, I would get a muzzle for this guy. Williams is giving the Vikes more to get gear up for the Week 1 rematch.

It is a new season for the Vikes and I think they will have a message to send themselves. With the Saints trying to KO Brett out of football for good. If I were Drew Brees. I would be nervous about the Vikes talking out some revenge on me. Especially Jared Allen breathing down my neck.

So with the comments from Captain Cheapshot happening already. Do you think that this will hurt the Saints pass happy offense?

Good One Steve

With the spectacle every training camp, involving Favre pending retirement. With what Steve Mariucci said on ESPN Chicago was a knee slapper. He says. "Fave hates the attention." I am not that sure  how many people would agree with this statement.

Of course, Favre puts off the media then he will be talked about even more. Favre always leaves a loop hole in whatever he said in "retirement talks." I am sure that the ankle is not 100 percent, but Favre has played through worse that this.

All I can say is this see you between Week 2 or 3 of the preseason Brett.

Just Cannot Believe The Fave News

Growing up here in the Green Bay area, the news is just to hard to even believe it. This circus has been going on since 2006. I have been listening to the retirement talk for all to long. Favre got his name out there in the news again, Favre plans to retire, according to sources.


With it pertaining to Favre here is my motto: I will believe it when I see it.. With no offical announcement about his retirement. So just gets me wondering the whole sporting world has been through this before. So why, why to they continue to fall for Favre "indecision."

Is it just Favre's plan to get more money out of the deal. Again, there have been reports offered Favre so he would mane 16 mil a year and 4 mil in incentives. I just hope it would be worth it to be paying all this dough to a 41 year old QB.

I am still sticking to my guns and saying he will be back with the Viking in 2010. Come week one, I still think #4 will be under center instead of #7. All Favre wants is to talked about every waking moment that is all. So here we go with the daily reminders that some sports are over analyzed.

I hope everyone enjoys this. I am going to go and watch some baseball highlight:)

Favre Watch 2010: Favre A Holdout

I was reading PFT this morning, and saw the title,"Uneasiness in Vikings camp over Favre's future." I figured the the players that are now in training camp are getting miffed over the absence of Favre. The fact they have to be out there and sweating buckets at a time. 


This was not the case in this instance, it is the people in management that are getting anxious for when Favre will announce if he will be playing this season. So the Vikes will know that everything will be place.


I never thought of it this way either, Favre is technically holdout and is still under contract. The Star Tribune, Favre was placed on the reserve/did not report list. Then some lucky soul will be in camp under Favre parades in town.

Favre is under contract and should be in camp, but everyone on the world expects him not to attend anyway. So what is the big deal of it all. Favre is still playing at such a high caliber and if(pretty BIG if)he does not return. This move would alter the Vikings season dramatically.

So the ESPNs and NFL Newtorks will continue to report as they have since mid May about Favre Watch. Less than a month ladies and gentlemen and we will find out one way or another.

Is Sage Being Marketed?

It is obvious that Sage Rosenfels is not the future of the Vikes at the QB position.So with the news that he moved back up to #2 ahead of rookie Joe Webb outperformed Sage in mini camp. The news was a surprise to me to say the least, well to me and many members of the media.

The only reason the Vikes would have done something like this with a merit of lack of performance on Webb's part. Is that the Vikes might be trying to "market" Sage in order to trade him. As long as you know who is not in camp, Webb and Sage are fighting for the #2 spot behind T-Jack.

I can see where the Vikes are coming from with this issue, why not get something back for Sage before you cut him lose before the start of the season(if he lasts that long). I have nothing against T-Jack, but Sage could not beat out T-Jack for the #2 job last season.It is not like T-Jack is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.

In Sage Rosenfels career, he has been unable to win a #1 job and keep it for a full season. He has had his opportunities, but unable to capitalize on them.

I would be more surprised to see Sage cut than traded with what the Vikes are doing with him. As of right now, Sage is running the #2 squad for the Vikes.
