Another Conspiracy
Nobody wants the Vikings to have a good quarterback. They know we’re just a competent signal-caller away from being a Super Bowl team and they’d rather have us suffer with Tarvaris Jackson than smoke all their asses and claim the Lombardi Trophy. In fact, there appears to be a flat-out league-wide conspiracy to keep the Vikes from getting their hands on a decent QB. We all know the Packers were dead-set against letting Brett Favre come here – hence the trade to the Jets, and the proviso that New York would have to give up 200 draft picks if Favre were then dealt to Minnesota. And now there’s a new culprit in this game of Viking offensive suppression, and his name is Jon Gruden. According to PFT’s Mike Florio, Gruden has offered disgruntled QB Jeff Garcia to a couple of teams in a trade, but not the Vikings – presumably because, if Garcia got on the Vikings, he would instantaneously pick up Brad Childress’s intricate and ingenious offense and lead us on a 14-game winning streak and thence onto glory. And that would make Gruden look bad especially if his anointed QB Brian Griese played like Brian Griese. Is this devious or what?
Frankly, I think there needs to be an investigation. Columbo needs to be brought in or maybe Kojak or Kolchak the Night Stalker. Or maybe O.J. – he’s good at looking for the real perpetrators of things. Oh, that’s right – O.J.’s kind of busy right now. Well, one of those other guys then. They need to start turning over rocks and tapping phones and hiring whoever Bill Belichick uses to spy on other teams, so the truth of this conspiracy can be exposed. So far, we know Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson are in on it, and Jon Gruden as well. What we don’t know is how deep this really goes. If there might be other measures being taken against us. Do we know the full story on how Bernard Berrian’s toe got messed up? Are we sure Visanthe Shiancoe isn’t being slipped some kind of drug that’s causing him to lose strength in his hands at critical moments in games? And what about Tarvaris Jackson himself? Is some kind of chicanery to blame for his utter ineptitude? Is the playbook he’s studying actually the Vikings playbook or a different one someone swapped in for it without him noticing? Someone may have snuck into his bedroom at night, tiptoed around his stuffed animals and snatched the real playbook from under his Jonas Brothers pillow. This would explain a lot of mysterious stuff: Like why T-Jack is handing off to Chester Taylor on 3rd and 5. It was actually supposed to be a 10-yard out to Bobby Wade. You know, a play that had a chance of netting the 5 yards necessary to get a 1st down.
The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the Vikings are victims of a massive plot. Until we uncover the truth of this scheme, and rid the league of those responsible, the Vikings will never have a fair shot at putting the Kick-Ass in the Kick-Ass Offense.
Jeff Garcia is the answer to your prayers??
Keep praying guys!

September 16th, 2008 at 4:32 pmI am sorry, but this blog is ridiculous.
A) The vikings are a helluva lot farther away than a good quarterback to reach “Total Domination”. In fact, this blog sounds so much like the vikings fans that I lived with in college that it’s funny how much you all thing alike.
B) Why on earth would Jon Gruden trade a competent quarterback like Garcia to a team that could hurt him down the stretch. The Packers did the same thing, and not because of a “conspiracy”, rather due to “competition”.
Grow up. This blog is absurd. You need receivers too by the way. Berrian was waaaaaaaaaaay overpaid.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:57 pmWell it was a tough 1st loss for our beloved Minnesota Vikings in Lambeauas the Vikes were beaten in a squeeker 24-19. After sifting through the Viking Update Blog and listening to KFAN’s fan line I am quite disturbed. I know that we lost and losing to the Pack is always tough but was I watching a different game than everyone else.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:00 pmFirst off everyone is being way too critical of Tarvaris Jackson
How can you write this garbage and not get sick? It is time to come out of the dark.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:01 pmI must say this article was really entertaining. The guy who wrote this should try for Hollywood because obviously they are better at creating an imaginary plot than discussiong football objectively. Poor Vikings…how sad your organization really is…
September 16th, 2008 at 5:08 pmI think this post was written as humor, but there’s just enough morror fromthe fringe lunatic talking points that I’m left wondering if the humor was only intended as a mask.
It’s either clever writing or the dumbest opinion piece I’ve seen about football this year. Since I can’t tell, I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the author. However, if bringing the idea of a conspiriacy into the conversation as to why the Vikings will have another losing year, then it’s just childish blather with no merit.
Below average quarterback, simple-minded play calling, and a secondary no one fears are all the explanation needed for yet another losing season.
The Vikings and their fans are simply living through a lot of bad karma created by previous players like Moss, Culpepper, and others, and of course, that total idiot, Hovan. I think his name was Hovan…he’s so damn dumb I can’t even remember his name for sure!
They might have avoided some of the bad karma if they wouldn’t have introduced more “karma-makers” to the roster. Too bad Ziggy doesn’t get it. All that money he’s spending on people that will only bring the same old, same old to the table.
Glad I’m not a Vikings fan!
September 16th, 2008 at 5:10 pmsimple math
assumption: jeff garcia = superbowl
September 16th, 2008 at 5:14 pmconclusion: vikings fan = dumbass
I guess that was a tongue-in-cheek post, written to stir up the kettle a little. It’s a sad situation when you have to stir the pot just two weeks into the season. I’d offer my sympathies to Vikings fans, but you Minnesotans just nominated one of the biggest idiots and assholes in America, Al Franken, for the senate. You get what you deserve you brain-dead dipshits.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:18 pmWhat a pathetic organization. Enjoy!
September 16th, 2008 at 5:23 pmThe problem isn’t that the league isn’t conspiring against the Vikings, it’s that the Vikings are fucking stupid. T Jax sucks. He is horrible, and will never be the answer. What makes matters worse is the fact that the Vikings have a perfectly competent QB on their roster, and are a depth chart move away from being competitive. Start Ferotte and start winning.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:27 pmChad Pennington’s agent called the Vikings after the Jets cut him, and Brad Childress said, “No thanks.” I blame this entirely on Chili and his kick ass offense.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:29 pmIt wasn’t bad enough that this site kept getting flooded with irate Cowboy fans – now it’s full of Packer fans who don’t know satire when they see it. Get me outta here!!!
September 16th, 2008 at 5:30 pmNow this is funny! Let’s not mention the DB’s, such as Sharper, who let TD passes go by them at regular frequency. Or receivers that IF the ball was thrown to them, it would be somewhat of a mirracle they caught them.
The ONLY thing the Queens have going for them is a touch D-line and O-line, with a stud running back that isn’t handed the ball enough.
Not to mention, any head coach that would actually stick with Jackson this long should have been chopped from the payroll long before this.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:33 pmi luv awr team the viqueens. u guys all stop it. we will win a sooper bole and showe u guyes awr cute purple fite darnnit
September 16th, 2008 at 5:36 pmJust be happy you don’t have an idiot for a GM like the Packers. TT’s only smart move may have been to not trade Favre to the Vikes, but other than that he’s god awful and has only hurt the Pack.
September 16th, 2008 at 5:59 pmWow you are truly pathetic. Honestly, go tell your mommy on the NFL…they won’t let you play with the good quarterbacks. Are you serious? What a juvenille point of view.
September 16th, 2008 at 6:07 pmPack fan here… Been saying for over a year Jackson sucks! Not really bright, no accuracy, runs too soon… etc… etc…
Some viqueens fans on my Pack site actually thought Jackson would be better than Rodgers! LMAO Rodgers is a great decision maker, plenty of arm, great accuracy, leader… Everything needed to be successful! What of those attributes does Jackson have?! NONE…
Chidresses offense is neither intricate or ingenious, NOT w/ Jackson for a QB!!! AD left, AD right, AD up the middle… Punt! LOL
A conspiracy… Not anyones fault but the queens!!! If you knew what a good QB looked like, maybe you could sign one, draft one or trade for one. ROTFLMFAO
September 16th, 2008 at 6:38 pmThis article is kind of funny, but even funnier is how the Vikings fans thought they’d overtake the Packers this year just because Favre is gone. We STILL have the best quarterback in the division! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…all the way to the playoffs. You folks in Minnesota just keep concentrating on electing geniuses to political office, like Jesse Ventura and Al Franken! The Vikings are pathetic, but what a bunch of lunatics the voters are! ROFL
September 16th, 2008 at 6:53 pmThe Queens will NEVER win until they get the circus( Childress) out of town for good.
September 16th, 2008 at 6:57 pmCouldn’t agree more with Rimshot. The people you elect to office is amazing – amazingly poor choices, that is! Are you folks trying to be the California of the midwest? How friggin’ dumb getting your brains frozen a time or two seems to make you! You have the football team you deserve, losers for losers, so quit whining.

Well, I guess Vikings aren’t only one with dumb fans. Are freaking kidding me? The Packers went from the pits with Mike Sherman to an overtime away from the Superbowl with the youngest team in the league last year. With the youngest team in the league, they’re only going to get better. Your kind of stupidity should be outlawed. One can only hope you don’t reproduce.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:16 pmI hear Jared Lorenzen and Quinn Gray are available now that the Colts have a healthy Peyton Manning.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:18 pmToo much Zygi in your Wilf.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:33 pmIf the Vikings would just trade their entire next five drafts to the Jets I’m sure they could get Brett Favre in return. And of course, most Viqueens fans would think that means they’ll win the superbowl this year and they’d be happy – until they don’t make the playoffs and it finally sinks in they don’t have any draft picks until 2014 (which ought to dawn on them around 2011 or 2012).
September 16th, 2008 at 7:37 pmBernard Berrian – 3 catches, 38 yards
Troy Williamson 2 catches, 11 yards
Both are limping.
How much did that upgrade cost you?
September 16th, 2008 at 7:39 pmIs it true that Vi-queens fans are known as little princesses?
September 16th, 2008 at 7:41 pmPost # 8,……too Funny. Nice.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:56 pmLets see you have no TE that is required to make it very far,you are using recievers that would not crack Green Bays back ups ,If you had ruvell martin and jordy nelson your team would be a lot better.On offense all you have for a threat is Adrian Peterson and he has trouble staying healthy.Your new DE had no tackles the first week want me to keep going!!!!!!
September 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pmWow! I have some buddies who are fans of the queens and it was just comical listening to them before the season started. We’re going to the Super Bowl they said. You vikes fans are just as dumb as your organization. I was at the Packer/queens game and I honestly think T-Jack is the worst qb in the league. Your damn coach is a moron too. Every damn year the media and the fans of this sorry team say how good they are going to be, only to flop again and again. If you want to watch a real team, watch the Packers. 12 world titles, how many for the queens, yeah Goose Egg! It is just great to watch. Don’t worry, once you have a few more losing seasons, you stud Adrian will want out and there won’t be anymore expectations. Good Luck Losers! GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 16th, 2008 at 8:31 pmViking Fans,
Apologies from Green Bay for poster 16. We have tried to keep him locked up in Favre’s old locker but he keeps finding ways to escape.
If you see him, please return him C.O.D. to my attention. He is very special to me.
Sincerely,
September 16th, 2008 at 8:39 pmTed Thompson
Good artical, well written and funny. I think we will have to find a new rivaly, maybe the lions, the Vikings are just too easy. Maybe we’ll go back to hating the Bears.
September 16th, 2008 at 8:40 pmAll of that Cap $ spent in the off season and your team seems to be nobetter than last year. The Pck is how much below the cap? 28 mill? I don’t like TT either but you can’t argue with results.
Whatever John said in blog #2 is right. There isn’t no conspiracy! It’s called smart GM play, or not being a dumbass like Matt Millen. Even if you got a quarterback of some decency, it won’t matter! The Vikings receiver core is talentless, they were stupid for paying Berrian that kind of money, what was the front office thinking? This is the most stupid thing I’ve heard in a long time!
September 16th, 2008 at 8:47 pmThat is deliciously clever. Who said Vikings fans are stupid and don’t have a sense of humor? As for the poster who thinks that Ted Thompson is an idiot; you probably are an authority on idiots, but I think we’ll keep Thompson for awhile. Meanwhile, Favre’s replacement is playing better than his mentor. Yeah, the Packers STILL have the best quarterback in the division.
September 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pmThe answer will be revealed in the next Dan Brown novel. Please stand by.
September 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pmAny Viking that thinks this is “humorous” is kidding themselves. Viking fans are bitter.
What you guys did was spend a ton of money on a good, not great, defense, and a great rb. Why have you forgot that the most important position on the team is qb? You have one of the worst in the league, and mope when one doesn’t fall in your lap. Draft a qb…a great qb, sit him on the bench while he learns the NFL position. That’s what other teams do. Why haven’t the Vikings? Don’t like what you have? Trade for a qb teams will actually give you. I learned something when I was really young. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Go Rodgers!
September 16th, 2008 at 10:15 pmWell Cheeze Fans. We did stay within a touchdown of you. But, more power to ya. We can’t score touchdowns anyway or we might be 2-0. Then again, maybe the Pack just had 1st game jitters and could blow us out worse now. Shame we only have a defense that will keep us in a game and that can’t last 16 games without us at least getting the top HS QB in Minn or Wisc. That would be an unfair trade to that high school and T-jaxoff would drop out of school after throwing 3 interceptions and not knowing how to read reciever check downs. Reading is important in high school (and the NFL).
September 16th, 2008 at 10:18 pmBut a rivalry with the Lions. Com’on even a 2-14 Viking team is more fun than that.
Seriously, I love my team, but if something isn’t done by the front office the next 2 weeks I won’t be running to the nearest sports pub here in sunny FL to watch. Jeez, I’ve bought tickets for the 2 games here in FL. What a waste if I at least don’t have a wild card race to hope for. Back to Stub Hub they go
I’m a die hard Vikes fan and hoping something is going on in the Vikes front office to get an average QB that might help salvage a wild card.
Have fun with the playoffs Pack fans
What the Vikes need to so is trade for Quinn or Anderson. They’ll be willing to give one of the two up for something good. Draft picks and/or player(s).
September 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pmSomeone please fire Brad Childress and Tarvaris Jackson!!! They are both idiots!!! It’s sad how we wasted so much money on jared allen and bernard berrian. I was thinking… why the fuck didn’t the vikings draft desean jackson?? wtf! that pisses me off. we had our chance to take him but nooo, fuckin viking’s organization chose tyrell johnson. Our draft picks were so useless. I was hoping for the vikings to get desean jackson because he’s an outstanding player and he’s worth a pick. Too bad other teams didnt want to pick him because he was either too skinny or had a bad attitude. Maybe thats why the vikings didn’t want him… (HE’S NOT TROY WILLIAMSON!!) Look what he can do for the Eagles, he makes good plays on special team and passing games. It sucks to see the vikings always lose when I think they’re about to win but nooo i’m a typical vikings fan that believes that can make it to the superbowl… How sad and i know u other fans are gonna laugh ur ass off but thats how everyone feels for their team who wins or lose…
September 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pmWhat is it really about Ted Thompson that people don’t like? I don’t get it. He’s fairly soft spoken, he’s not arrogant, and he’s done a fantastic job. He’s a likable guy. He sacrificed his job, credibility, and possibly his career to help improve his team for today and the long run. Just because half the state of Wisconsin has a justifiable love affair with one player Thompson decided not to bring back after retirement, doesn’t make him a bad guy. Go around and ask other fans if they would want TT as a GM, and see what they say.
September 16th, 2008 at 10:33 pmthis is the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever seen. (and I’ve seen an elephant crap)
Why would any team trade a good player to another team in the same division (other than the dump Dolphins former GM)
Also the Texans were willing to trade Sage Rosenfels to the Vikings but the Vikings weren’t willing to pay up so that throws out the complete stupid idea of all teams are against the Vikings.
As for Mike Florio his site is horrible with a lot of BS (not as close to as much as this one but still a lot)
for Jeff Garcia maybe the Vikings don’t have the balls to give what the Bucs want, like they didn’t with Rosenfels. Right now Garcia is the best back-up in the NFL, and with the risk of injury to the starter why would the Bucs trade for him other than something high which the Viking aren’t willing to give up.
September 16th, 2008 at 10:33 pmLOL….WHAT A BUNCH OF JUNK…..JUST ANOTHER SAD EXCUSE FROM THE QUEENS…JUST FACE IT…CHILDRESS IS A HORRIBLE COACH..YOUR AMAZING DEFENSE IS BEING PUT TO WASTE WITH THAT SAD EXCUSE FOR A COACH…BEING A PACKER FAN, YA’LL SHOULD HAVE BEATEN US IF YOU JUST RAN THE FOOTBALL IN THE SECOND HALF..THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR LAST WEEK VS INDY….IF HE CALLS A SMART GAME, YOU’RE 2-0…IT’S HIS FAULT!!
September 16th, 2008 at 10:34 pmBack when the Packers were looking to replace Sherman as head coach, Brad Childress was at or near the top of their short list of candidates. Childress visited the Vikings first, and the Vikings were so enamored with Childress they signed him to a contract before he even had a chance to interview for the Green Bay job. The Packers hired McCarthy instead.
THANKS VIKINGS!
We’ll never know if the Packers would have hired Childress over McCarthy now, but I’m sure glad it worked out the way it did. McCarthy is far better a coach than any of the new head coaches hired that year (and there was something like 6 or 8 head coaching changes).
You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ted Thompson made a big deal of Childress so that the Vikings would hire him, knowing he wasn’t ready to be a head coach. Pretty much eliminated them as contenders right there.
Gotta love that Teddy Bear, he’s understated but shrewd, very shrewd.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:27 pmExcellent point, post 43! The Vikings thought they really put a fast one over on the Packers, but it looks like they only slicked themselves. There’s no grease job like the one you do to yourself!
September 16th, 2008 at 11:30 pmObviously, I’m not a Vikings fan but I think I have to come to this blogger’s defense. This article is sarcastic – he doesn’t actually believe that there is a conspiracy. Rip on the Vikes all you want but lay off this dude. He’s just venting…
September 16th, 2008 at 11:32 pmHey TotalPackers – I think most people know the article was written as sarcasm. Maybe a few didn’t in the early going, but Granger identified it with post #7. You’re a little late to the party. Maybe you should just stick with ripping the Viqueens since Minnesotans think their so elite.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:40 pmWow, LOL at post 16 (FOF). In Wisconsin, he also goes by the name of Official State Idiot. It’s no surprise that is he is trolling other teams sites spewing hatred toward the GM who screwed up by selecting the god-awful Aaron Rodgers.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:45 pmPost#43 is right on. I remember back when I read that Colonel Klink was coming to Green Bay for an interview, I could not believe that Thompson would even consider Klink. We couldn’t get him out of Madison fast enough when he was the Badgers OC. Great smoke screen on Teddy’s part. Keep stealing Wisconsin castoffs. Longwell, Sharper, Turd Furguson, Colonel Klink, Bevell. I got one more for you guys. Listen up Ziggy Stardust, two words, Jerrod Bush. He’s a future all pro!
September 16th, 2008 at 11:48 pmSarcasm.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:51 pmGood Lord, FOF is on the loose terrorizing other sites with his bullshit. Viking Fans, you can’t miss him, he’s 5′6″, weighs 250 pounds and dresses in Favre pajamas.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:52 pmit’s funny the blame goes for everyone else than who it belongs to, you can’t buy a good team, you have to build it. ziggy spent a whole lot of money on the packers that even the packers didn’t want anymore and a bunch of free agents… they don’t play well together for what i see (keeping in mind, i’m no one) good luck to you guys… looke like you’ll need it!
September 17th, 2008 at 12:00 amSo why didn’t the Vikes draft Aaron Rodgers when he slipped to the Packers?
September 17th, 2008 at 12:00 amI know FOF. Do you know what FOF stands for? He used to go by FOFE, but recently shortened it.
FOF = Foolish Opinions Farted (Everywhere)
September 17th, 2008 at 12:04 amWow, I can’t believe how many people thought that this author was being serious. …just, wow. Lotta’ stoops out there.

Easy, they don’t have anyone near as astute as Ted Thompson evaluating the new talent or the old team. That’s why the Vikings will be looking up at the Packers for the forseeable future!

September 17th, 2008 at 12:09 amWeek 3 against the Panthers = loss
Week 4 @ Tennessee = chance to win, but probably a loss
Week 5 @ New Orleans = probably a loss on MNF
Week 6 against Detroit = Good chance to win!
Hey, 1-5 ain’t all that bad. It could be worse.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:59 amThe “god-awful” Aaron Rodgers is 42-60 for 506 yards, 4 TD’s and 0 INT’s, complete with a nifty 117.8 QB Rating. Want to embarrass yourself any further? Didn’t think so.
That was at #47
September 17th, 2008 at 3:38 amI wonder who will be QB when T-Jack starts to fuck up! I know childress is an idiot and i know he will bench him later in the game against the panthers when we’re down by 3 TDs. It’s stupid how I thought Bernard Berrian was going to change the numbers of T-jack’s QB rating but nope, i guess i was wrong! T-jack just has no confidence and yet he’s still struggling like his first season and second season. All i have to say is… Brad Childress you’re an idiot when Tarvaris told you he didn’t want to start when you made him play against greenbay in ‘06, he wasnt even ready!!! T-jack needs to be back up than a starter. I remember reading an article about when t-jack thought farve was coming to Minnesota and he said it was okay for farve to take his starting job. That’s when i knew T-jack didnt have confidence still. That just shows how he isn’t ready to start. It just sucks how we have to deal with Brad Childress is stupid game tatics! Way to embarrass the viking fans childress. I hope you do something about this so i can fuckin enjoy vikings football season! By the way, i don’t blame t-jack for messing up, at least he has guts to take criticism unlike mr. suicidal vince young!
September 17th, 2008 at 3:45 amI WISH THE BEST OF LUCK FOR T-JACK IF IT’S HIS LAST GAME. Hopefully the vikings can pull a big surprise.
For next weeks prediction i think the panthers are gonna win since steve smith’s back. Damn but w/e !!
to all those mother fuckin haterz about this blog… Why the hell did u even land on this page? Conspiracy?? How fuckin real can you be? sarcasm was written all over this blog. By the way… I fuckin hate NFL media for telling everyone vikings are gonna be superbowl contenders! are they even close of being superbowl contenders? was bernard berrian the answer to the vikings? jarded allen is gonna sack more than once in a game? Way to fuckin jynx us. I just knew it… i’m just a fuckin vikings fan with an angry face!!!!!
September 17th, 2008 at 3:58 amWhy did they run FATDUMB(DENNY GREEN) out of Minn?
September 17th, 2008 at 4:04 am@least the guy knew how to get some W’s with what he had
Who drafted Moss and Culppeper?
I never thought Culppepper was that good really, but Moss
is the Real Deal(even though he’s a Turd)
I think your looking at a Coach that just didnt get it right when he had a chance to learn
He must not have taken many notes and relied on his Pshyc Degree.
Please let me say that Packer fans are sorry for the” STAIN ON THE BIG SHEET OF LIFE”known as FOF.He posts on the blogs here too in Wis.
Once again The Packers hit the right man at the right time forthe job,a name no one knew.Mike Who? Who The WHAT THE,WHERE DID THEY COME UP WITH HIM.
Its happend before in GB,back in the late 50’s ,The Packers board of Directors sat with mouths open at the suggestion of one of the memebers that said they should look into hiring a assistant coach named Lombardi from the NY Giants to run the Packers.He was not considerd a sexy pick at the time either.
I would like to take this op to wish all Vikings fans the best of luck in the future,you have a great state and a Football Team that you can be proud of(if you want to know how to be proud of a bad team,just ask Packer fans who watched the 70’s,80’s Packer Teams)
I would also like to take this op to thank GOD for blessing my Green Bay Packers through out, time and time again.
What’s truly depressing is the number of people commenting here who think that this is a serious post. Grow some brains, folks.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:13 amYeah, this is so funny I can’t believe a Queens fan wrote it!
September 17th, 2008 at 7:43 amGregg? Gregg Swedberg? Is that you?
September 17th, 2008 at 8:04 amSad, Sad, Sad…
September 17th, 2008 at 8:35 amAHAHAHAHHAHAHA You sir… are an idiot.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:00 amYour delusional theory is a prime example of why the entire state of Minnesota will be “shocked” when the Vikes up and move to LA for the 2011 season. They’re gone man, gone. Childress is a terrible coach. They’ve done nothing to improve their team from last year’s other than sign an admittedly great defensive end and a mediocre wide receiver. Buh bye Vikes.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:01 amQuit your crying! The world needs ditch diggers too. You need to come to terms with the fact that the Vikings are the Cubs of the NFL! You’ll get nothing and like it!!!!
September 17th, 2008 at 9:22 amHey Hosers,
Why don’t you just draft a QB like the Packers did? It’s not that hard to find one. Following around good teams and drooling over thier sloppy seconds is just embarassing.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:45 amThe problem with Vikings fans is that they take themselves way too seriously to be funny, and are being laughed at way too much to be taken seriously by the rest of the NFL. One Jeff Garcia away from ‘total domination’? Yup. You nailed it. That would make you guys officially unbeatable. Let me ask you a question if old fancy-pants Garcia is behind center, do you guys still pick up a long run on 3rd down? No. Your play-calling sucks, because your coach sucks. Your passing game sucks because your GM and coach suck, they reached on Travaris and have since asked way too much of him. What you need to do is to stop relying on your defense to bail you out of every situation, because last I checked EJ Henderson was the most overrated defender in the league, right behind Darren “All I do is give up big plays and grab INTs in garbage time” Sharper and Jared “I talk way too much” Allen. Keep up the good work.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:30 amis there also a conspiracy to make you choke every year?
September 17th, 2008 at 11:03 amOh, and Jared Allen got 9 of his 15.5 scaks last year against backup offensive tackles in a 3 week span. Congrats on ‘Herschel Walker 2′!
Oh and by the way,
any writer who scribes something as low-class as this, deserves to be taken as serious as Nicole Ritchie at an all-you-can-eat buffet….
“they’d rather have us suffer with Tarvaris Jackson than smoke all their asses and claim the Lombardi Trophy.”
Lol. Unreal. This is a real website, ie is there someone in charge of accountability, a boss? No wonder the Vikings fans are crushed by dissapointment each year; they are getting bad info from their writers…who by the way are most likely hopped-up on Skoal tobacco pouches. (See below)
I see things are on the up-and-up in ol’ Minnesota.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:08 amI can’t believe all the wierdos that are taking this seriously! Don’t you know the meaning of tongue-in-cheek?????????
September 17th, 2008 at 11:13 amVikings fans need to lighten up and get a life.
Every Year the Queens spends millions and millions in FA.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:30 amEvery Year the Queens are the “team to beat”
Every Year the Queens fall flat on their face.
Hey find the bright spot. Only 2 penalties for 5 yards…..that at least was a change…..
September 17th, 2008 at 11:59 amIs T-Jack some stupid name those two morons from KFAN came up with? Sounds like something two twin cidiots would come up with. PA is THE worst play by play guy ever, in any sport.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:39 pmFor Instance, a few years ago against the Lions, PA says:
” Hes to the 40, the 30, the 25, 20, he is ggggoooooooonneeee, and down at the 28 yard line”.
First off, this isnt baseball PunkAss, and Duschbag. It’s football, and you aint gone, if you’s down at the 28 after being at the 20. Sounds like the San Francisco version of John Madden.
I don’t know what the Vikings will do the rest of the season, I hope they lose them all, but one thing I do know, Twin Cidiots are THE stupidist people on earth, hands down, while standing on your head, while sitting.
Good call PA.
BAAAAAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!
Now is GUS the answer to your prayers? Oh boy…the queens are grasping now!
Let the rookie play!
September 17th, 2008 at 1:43 pmIt doesn’t matter that that author wrote this tongue in cheek, what was written contains an inconvenient truth! There is a conspiracy against the Vikings to hold them down and keep them from winning a championship. Unfortunately for Vikings fans, it’s a conspiracy of one - the Vikings GM – and nothing will change until a few years AFTER ownership dumps the dumb GM. Unfortunately again for Vikings fans, ownership isn’t too bright either, at least not in football knowledge, or the GM would have already been sacked.
So then, what you have is a self-inflicted incompetence from the top down, and that’s the unintentional conspiracy that will keep the Vikings fighting with Detroit to keep out of last place this year and beyond. Yes neighbors, the NFC North will belong to Green Bay and ocassionally Chicago for the foreseeable future, while ownership of the cellar will be fought out between the Vikings and Lions.
There’s the conspiracy, there’s the truth. Read it and weep.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:56 pmWow, it took 78 responses, but Minnesota Train Wreck nailed it with post #78. It is an unintended, self inflicted conspiracy of incompetence. One would assume it’s unintended incompetence anyway — or could it be intentional sabotage to weaken fan support in preparation to uproot the Vikings and move them to the messed (west) coast?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:12 pmWow, do you really think it could be sabotage from within the organization?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:22 pmI vote for the person who wrote post # 78 to be the new GM. Anyone who can cut through the smoke and fury and identify exactly what’s wrong that quickly has got to be better at the job than what we have now!
September 17th, 2008 at 2:30 pmViqueen whining at its best. Even the whining gets beat by the Chicago radio and their rants on how aweful whoever the quarterback is. Purple and yellow pride. Allen is really good too!…Not!
September 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pmall you viking loves dream on when you are 32nd in the n.f.l and you and all you minor legue teams oh i meant you other pro teams in minnsucks. I am from denver where we have a real team and oh ya we won 2 super bowls not like you chockers like they say that is why your jerseys are purple that is how you chock. boo go and let l.a have your losers and oh ya wait a min what is that saying oh maybe next year. Just like you other losers teams in your loser state go blame someone else for you falures.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:39 pmthe reason the packers didnt want the vikings to get brett is the same reason they wouldnt have traded randy moss( back in the days when he was with the vikings) to the packers,but how about the pack trades brett to the viking for adrian peterson.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:46 pmThe Vikings are the worse in the NFC North
September 17th, 2008 at 6:53 pmAbout post number 83…
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen the written language abused as much as in that post. I don’t usually comment on grammar, but the misspellings, clack of punctuation, lack of capitalization, and the inability to express oneself in complete sentences is just too pathetic to pass by it without comment.
Even at that, if the writer wasn’t being a total dickhead I would have overlooked it, but when someone has no purpose other than to belittle and can’t string together words any better than a 5th grader, someone needs to point out one thing…your arrogance is only overshadowed by your ignorance, but just barely.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pmViking Fans,
Be on the lookout for the following: F0F (aka Football_Fan, Fan_of_Football), BenWashington, and 8957t. They were last seen terrorizing the Packer fans and are believed to be heading West in a stolen laptop.
If you see them, beat the shit of out of them because they are scum of the earth. That is all.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:22 pmWow. You gotta be kidding me?? Sounds to me like you better continue your losing ways so you gat get first pick in the draft and maybe get what you want. Of course, there’s no telling how good that will work out so the next thing to do is pull a Hershel Walker trade again and get the second draft pick as well. Odds will be on your side that one of them will work out.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:08 pmI’m still shocked about this article! Wow, a conspiracy? If it were even half true, isn’t making trades, doing the draft, etc. all about making your team better first? Why would anyone make a trade to improve someone else first? If you seriously think the QB is the weak spot on the team, maybe you should make a serious offer! History is full of examples. Afterall, GB did that with Hasselback (Seattle), Detmer (Philidelphia), Pederson (Philidelphia), Aaron Brooks (New Orleans) and Brunell (Washington?) over the years including Favre (NYJets) and even had O’Sullivan (San Fran) on their roster. Gruden will trade but the offer is something that needs to take his team over the top as it did (and will again) in GB!
September 17th, 2008 at 11:35 pmHAY WOLFGANG,
WOW YOU MUST BE FROM MINNESOTA AND A SORE VIKINGS FAN AT LEAST I CHEER FOR A REAL TEAM THE BRONCOS AND WHO MANY TIMES HAVE WE BEEN CHAMPS OF WIT THAT WOULD BE BACK TO BACK UNLIKE YOU LOSER TEAM GO BACK AND HIDE UNDER THE SNOW YOU CRY BABY!
September 18th, 2008 at 4:12 amThe Vikes have always, and will always be chokers. The organization sucks, the fans are horrible and the owners are morons. I lived two blocks from the metrodome for almost 10 years and I had to listen to this same kind of garbage which made me sick then and still does now. There is no conspiracy but maybe the rest of us should rethink that fact. Retards!
September 18th, 2008 at 5:23 amThis is obvious satire. What is wrong with all you literal-minded people?
Also, go Pack!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:48 amIS EVERYBODY THATS A DENVER FAN A COMPLETE FRICKIN MORON????? LOOKS LIKE IT
September 18th, 2008 at 1:15 pmGus, huh? Wow. Sux to be a Viqueen fan.
September 18th, 2008 at 2:25 pmDirect snap to Peterson every time! This is your best shot.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:02 pmCulpepper is still available?
September 18th, 2008 at 4:05 pmThe Vikings couldn’t win the Super Bowl even when they had competent QB play. Fran Tarkenton is a Hall of Famer QB that some how managed to lose THREE Super Bowls. He threw 1 touchdown and six interceptions in his three Super Bowl appearances.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:46 amIf the Vikings are serious about wanting to win a Super Bowl, then they need to fire Brad Childress. The guy is terrible. He maybe the worst play caller I’ve seen in my entire life. Why did he have Jackson attempt 35 passes against the Packers? The game was never out of reach, yet for some reason Childress puts it in the hands of Jackson to win it.
Okay, the fine art of sarcasm has been lost on the “lug-bolts” out there – note quite a few from GB land. Okay, may NOT have been super human funny, but it was amusing… the thought of a conspiracy is kind of funny, since the general circumstances prevail as true! However, it boils down to the basics – Childress (aka “Poindexter”) is neither brilliant nor genius! He would make a good equipment manager with a little seasoning… Jackson is NOT a #1 pick and especially NOT worth trading UP to get. He will look good with clipboard, however harsh it seems. He is not professional ready… and to the guy who intuited the absolute truth that all gloss over – the receivers are an embarrassment to the NFL – I at 50 could still cover Bobby Wade, SLOW AND 10 YARD HOOKS ARE NOT A DANGER. Wouldn’t NEED to cover Visanthe Shiancoe! Berrian is poor man’s Willie Gault – I am tired of the “speedy” moniker…. Troy “Spoons” Williamson was also “Speedy”. Give me professional, give me talented I will give you Super Bowls,
September 20th, 2008 at 12:12 amLastly, Sharper playing 20 yds downfield on 3rd and 9 against Indy… not much heart in that gamer. NO pass rush WITH Allen, so it wasn’t ONE guy needed, NO secondary except for #26, the only stud in our backfield. The rest are sieves!
Childress will be looking around in off-season. My prediction will prove true. Everything he has asked for he got and average is all we can expect – the Mind of Poindexter will assure it!
Anyone that refers to the Vikings as the “Queens” is obviously too fucking stupid to live.
October 5th, 2008 at 11:33 amlol @ comment number 8. That’s awesome.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:45 pmI’m not surprised Odds,
August 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pmSimple, Just like You and Jerry…
