"Then we could have "Longest Yard Three"."

Yeah, but as lousy as the Vikings are this year, the guards would probably win.

They did manage to beat a bunch of homeless guys from New Orleans, but that's about it. The Bears will probably wipe up the field with the Vikings this weekend. Feh!

What's the over-under on Tice's remaining time as coach?

I read something I found amazing in today's Star Tribune. Tice is NOW gonna get tough on guys who show up late for meetings or practice. And they wonder why they've got a discipline problem? The friggin' inmates are running the asylum. No wonder the players like Tice. They show up when and if they feel like it and that's OK. Ridiculous!

[Burf]

Tice says they are gonna win this weekend. For whatever that's worth.

[no dems]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. How could that Happen? I'm not defending these two alleged "attackers" by any means but this does bring into question her credibility.

"Tice says they are gonna win this weekend. For whatever that's worth."

Well, if his players don't bother listening to him, I'm sure not going to. The Bears aren't much this season, but I think they'll manage to pull it off.

I'm disgusted with the Vikings. No stadium for them.

Here's an idea. Let's just move them to Los Angeles. That city's looking for a football team, and they have a lousy stadium, too. Ship 'em there, Zygi, Tice, and the rest. Good riddance.

[Burf]

Let's just move them to Los Angeles.

Good idea. They could make porn movies during the week and play football on Sunday. Zygi could get a heck of a return on his money that way.

However, the Lions will probably still allow the Vikings to perform "godless" acts upon them.

[MineralMan]

"Good idea. They could make porn movies during the week and play football on Sunday. Zygi could get a heck of a return on his money that way."

Yup.

"Porn Stars of the NFL"

Opening at an adult theater near you soon. See the linebackers "sack" the hottest porn queens! Watch the offensive line "pancake" Lovely Lydia Lust! Thrill to the quarterback making a completed "pass" at Brenda Boob! And for the "climax" of this soon-to-be classic of adult entertainment, the massive "pile-up" will amaze you!

GO VIKINGS GO--and take your new stadium plans with you to another city like Lost Angeles.

Who would have thought that Randy Moss leaving town would make the skeevy element WORSE?

[Burf]

It could be the Super Bowl in reverse. The game to determine the lowest common denominator.

Keeping my fingers crossed on that one...

I'll tell ya, when I see Tice on the tv and he has that pencil over his ear, I keep expecting him to take the pencil and put it through his ear and out the other side 'cuz nothing is gonna stop it.

I'm from Richfield, MN...5 years older than the girl involved. I believe I know who she is, and I just can't believe how this kinda stuff keeps coming up. Sick.

"Funny" Daunte Culpepper story, along the lines of the boat fiasco:

Daunte + a few other Vikes walk into my female friend's house (they met her and her friends earlier downtown, and were invited to come over and hang out). Anyhoo, Mr QB walks in, and the very 1st thing out of his mouth is:

"Where the condoms at?"

They were pretty disgusted, of course. (And they aren't 'that' type of girl, either...It was just a friendly invite)

"I'm disgusted with the Vikings. No stadium for them."

______________

Stadium Nazi.

:-)

[skaterboy]

A year and a half later...no cops just a civil suit....oh yea this smells sooooo gooooooood

[Rakkasan1]

he would have just fumbled the condom had there been any
anyway.

[Burf]

Randy Moss' behavior was tolerated and so it spread throughout the team. If Tice or someone in the organization had shown there are consequences for bad behavior, this type of thing wouldn't be happening.
It starts with small stuff. Showing up late for meetings and such. When the offending player shows up, they find the door locked. The waiting room is the coaches outer office. There it is one on one. If you show up late 3 times, just clean out your locker. There are a lot of men out there who wanna play pro football. Look at Randall Cunningham. He was installing tile in Las Vegas when he got called up. You could tell he didn't want to go back to tile work. The same thing with Kurt Warner. From grocery stocker to Super Bowl MVP. The problem IMO is the players union. They condone player behavior and they must now put the brakes on this.

Tice says they are gonna win this weekend.

Note to self: Bet Viking opponent this week...

I loved Bud Grant and his teams.

They were as great as the Packer teams under Lombardi!

Fran Tarkenton used to always eat at Chili John's, in Green Bay, before the Packer games!
