And wrongly so, if you ask me. They MN legislature doesn't deal with Frasier, McKinnie, or any of the players in the locker room. They deal with Lester Bagley and the Wilfs.

What the Vikings do on the field and in the locker room will have very little, if any, to do with how the legislature handles the stadium issue.

But it wouldn't be a Flori-tool article if he didn't throw in something about the stadium.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Zygi and his brothers should just pony up all the dough, go to Arden Hills, and buy up all the surrounding land for their own prosperity. But if done, it won't be as fun as it is now being downtown.

Certainly you don't believe he was their best lineman. I've seen your posts, and I know you aren't THAT stupid as to actually believe that.

I guess you have to play to your audience.🤷

Fans are the people that purchase and use season tickets, year in and year out.

Despite how the Vikings play, those people will STILL be a force to reckon with when it comes to the legislators and their douchiness. There have been at least ONE very viable option to pay for the stadium that doesn't include taxpayer money that these gutless wonders running the state's government have refused to back on some imaginary 'personal principles'. The plan is called Racino.

You and I agree on one thing though.. Zygi and Co. totally should buy up the Arden Hills lot. Then watch the state freak out when they (the state) has to revamp 35W/hwy10/hwy96 on their own.

Bryant McKinnie Trolling For Work

Shortly after the Minnesota Vikings pulled the plug on Bryant McKinnie, the veteran left tackle tweeted that he would be making a return in 2012.

Since, he’s clarified that point and made it clear he’d like to play this season. Now, his agent Drew Rosenhaus is shopping him to the league. According to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network, Rosenhaus sent an email to all 32 teams informing them McKinnie is looking for work and he’s willing to play for $2.5 million this season. He’d also like “reasonable incentives.”

McKinnie was set to earn about double that from the Vikings before he refused to take a pay cut and was released.

How soon McKinnie finds a taker remains to be seen. He weighed near 400 pounds when the Vikings cut him loose and his cholesterol measured near 400, as well, according to multiple NFL sources. In that kind of shape, no one is going to touch him.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
