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.

beast (2h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (4h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (4h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (4h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (4h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (4h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (4h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (4h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (4h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (4h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (5h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (5h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (5h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (5h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (14h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (14h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
