First-ballot slamdunk Hall-of-Famer. There was no one better along the sidelines and in the end-zone. And how many guys do you think contemplated taking a shot at him as he did his signature “first-down” point? I’m still shocked no one ever tried taking his head off.
One of my favorite calls ever - [...]

It’s become a yearly tradition for the Vikings:  They fill their roster with useless QBs, a bunch of them get hurt and/or are ineffective, Jeff George sees this, calls his buddy Paul Allen and asks him to “gauge the team’s interest in him,” the team says it has no interest in an old, slow, occasionally-abrasive [...]

#1 QB Carousel Settles On Bollinger - For Now
Brad Childress asked for this mess when he went into the season with Jackson, Holcomb and Bollinger as his QBs - now he’s got to deal with it.
Actually, it’s sort of already been dealt with for him - cause Tarvaris has a hurt finger and Kelly [...]

Whatever scant playoff hopes the Vikings may have harbored likely went out the door today, with the team losing at home to the Philadelphia Eagles 23-16.
“Scant” may actually be too mild a word to describe the slimness of the team’s post-season chances going into today’s match-up with Philadelphia. The Vikings really were only holding [...]

Philly has no respect for our passing game.  They’re playing a safety up in the box whenever AD is on the field and he’s basically getting stuffed.  We might as well get used to this.
Kelly Holcomb is Brad Johnson.  He has no arm.  He’s stationary in the pocket.  The only good thing about him remaining [...]

Tarvaris Jackson is hurt and Kelly Holcomb is in.  But one has to wonder, given some other moves the Vikes have made in the last few days, whether Tarvaris would’ve been the starter today against Philly even had he been 100% healthy.
What do we make of the fact that, in an interview a couple days [...]

Hey guys. I’m Andy Reid, coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. I’ve been asked by the nice folks at The Viking Age to tell my ten favorite things about being part of the best franchise in the whole NFL, the Eagles. It’s not easy to pick out just ten things, but I’ll give [...]

Zygmunt calls his head coach Chilly into his office to discuss the team’s season so far…
Chilly: Hello Zygmunt.
Zygmunt: Hello Chilly. Take a seat there…
Chilly: Okay. (sits) Wow…are these real leather?
Zygmunt: Uh, yes Chilly, they are…
Chilly: These are real nice…
Zygmunt: I had them shipped in from Armenia or [...]

Today the Vikings continued their recent trend of locking up important players to long-term contracts by signing punter Chris Kluwe to a six-year extension worth $8.3 million.  Kluwe has arguably been the team’s MVP this year, with his league-leading 18 punts inside the 20.  And if his arm is feeling good and limber I say [...]

It’s looking more and more like Kelly Holcomb is going to get the start Sunday instead of Tarvaris Jackson.  Kelly was not exactly dynamic in the two games he started, but I don’t think this game against Philly is going to call for exciting QB play anyway.  Neither team is much to speak of offensively, [...]
