Good Luck Vikings fans.
NFL ping
Even Gordie Howe wasn't this awful in his final playing years and he played into his 50s.
Me too..
Is his hand still puffed up and purple?
Has he passed a concussion test yet?
I’d say the Moss and Favre era is over for sure this time.. but who knows? The owner is ZyGy, after all..
Lions capture 3rd place in NFC North, Vikings end up 4th.
Notice how the Vikings can hire Frazier without interviewing anyone else. I guess the Rooney Rule only works one way.
And Carla will be standing in for Diane.
Just once I’d like to see Wilf wait more than fifteen minutes before making a big decision.
Frazier had four chances to make statements in his six games in charge and lost three of them, all in embarrassing fashion.
Wilf wants $800 million of taxpayer money for a stadium and then he pulls this. It’s almost enough to make me root for the Packers.
Almost.
Back in his playing days.
Exactly what I was going to say, seeing as how the Cowboys have to go through it to hire Garrett.
I think the color guy said that the Viqueen’s fourth place finish was the first time since 1990. Keeping Frazier is a good idea — assuming that Favre actually retires now. If Frazier keeps Favre on the roster in 2012, I won’t give up on how bad an idea that is unless Minnesota does at least as well as it did in 2009.
The Bears and Packers (the upper half of the division) are in the playoffs. The Buccaneers and Giants are out. That’s all I know offhand. Thanks Perdogg!
“...The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers... will have a first round bye. The Colts are the third seed and will host the sixth seed New York Jets. The Chiefs are the fourth seed and will host the fifth seed Ravens. If they can win in the wildcard round, the Chiefs will travel to New England to take on the Patriots.”
new record: lost to Detroit TWICE in ONE year.
I think Jeff Fischer is about to step down for the Titans. We will know in 90 minutes. I’m not hijacking, I did think it relevant.
It’s now official...
