Contract values

Note that the Minnesota Vikings have the highest contract obligations in the entire NFL.

The top spending team again based on the total value of the contracts of all the players at training camp was Minnesota, at $736.87 million. Among the other teams near the top were some of the biggest-spending big market teams, such as No. 2 Philadelphia ($721.22 million), No. 3 Dallas ($715.40 million) and No. 4 Washington ($676.88 million).

They are spending our--as in Green Bay's- revenue-sharing funds foolishly. It is sad how many teams try and buy their way into contention, and this must stop for any team that is receiving funds from another. I think there should be additional salary restrictions on teams that receive funds from the revenue sharing plan compared to the teams that pay into it. If they can't make a go of it financially, they should install pay toilets in the metrodump before they should be allowed to suck money from the well-run and fan -supported organizations such as we have.

They could also charge the hundreds of fans that show up for their games more for beer, crying towels, and those prophylactics that their fans like to put on as thinking caps during games.

We want our money back!

Truth be told, a big chunk of that money is going to a stud DE(Allen) and a stud RG(Hutch). Take those two big players out.. And I'm willing to bet that the Vikings drop a few on that list. Not to mention, the overpaying of Berrian's services. That's 3 players. 3. Not 11 or 22.

Funny, back when Red was owner, I bet you guys made fun of the Vikings for being the biggest penny pinching team in the NFL.

-=sighes=- There's just no winning with you, eh? I should know better, it's worse than arguing with a donkey.

Come on Formo, we're a lot more stubborn than jackasses. Don't insult us like that.

So if I'm reading this thread correctly, the Packers are hard working indigenous taxpayers paying their way in the NFL and the Vikings are welfare grabbing gutter whores with a scorching case of herpes.

Don't be fooled. The Packers don't pay a dime. Their fans/ticket consumers are the ones getting billed. The Packers are also tapping into that money. Just not as much as the Vikings are.

Just you admitting you're a welfare gutter whore is enough for me. I'm not going to subsidize your organization this year however because my football allocations are going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sorry I usually come down for one game a year but that has more to do with drinking heavily than watching the Vikings. Vikings = welfare gutter whores, like the sound of that! :thumbright:

For every dollar we spend, Vikings take 5 cents, the Packers take 2 cents.

I have no clue how it works, not at all.

Yes, except you left out the part that their stadium is the NFL's closest approximation to a subsidized house in the projects that specializes in de-facto prostitution, although you did touch upon it when alluding to the welfare grabbing gutter whores. Other than that, you caught the exact tone of the conversation, I just figured you were just trying to be as charitable as I in your characterization of the Vikings, so the omission is perfectly understandable.
