the Vikings. I thought when I heard that his wife was shopping for a house in Baltimore, well, that getting out HAS to be Matt "playing" the Vikes. Now I hear he really IS going to the Ravens...

Anyone hear anything?

Vikings | Birk may return
Wed, 04 Mar 2009 05:58:31 -0800

Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports free-agent C Matt Birk (Vikings) has not ruled out a return to the Minnesota Vikings. It is believed Birk will decide whether to sign with the Vikings or Baltimore Ravens during the next two days.



Ravens | Birk may sign
Wed, 04 Mar 2009 05:57:49 -0800

Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports free-agent C Matt Birk (Vikings) said he is "absolutely" considering signing with the Baltimore Ravens. Birk met with the Ravens Tuesday, March 3, and is expected to meet again with the team Wednesday, March 4.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

ESPN reports it's done deal, Matty B. is a Raven.

Not surprised, though. It was fairly common knowledge that Chilly and Birk didn't get along all that well.. especially this past offseason when Birk didn't attend any optional training sessions (He's always trained with Mike Morris during Viking OTAs, so nothing new there).

Personally, I'm not surprised, but I am.

I guess it's time to see how that center from Notre Dame does (John Sullivan).

Good for the Pack, but I'm sure that one has to hurt. He has always struck me as a supremely classy fellow, and I know he was very active in the community up there, especially with disadvantaged kids. I don't know squat about Sullivan, but I can't imagine him being an improvement over Birk either on the field or off it.

I can understand the move, $$$/age - wise, but the casual fanbase isn't going to like that one at all. Baltimore must think he has a ton of gas left in the tank to give him the contract I just saw.

Sometimes the business aspect of this game pisses me off, even when my rival team's fans get shafted.

I hope Zigi didn't lose him because he thought it was some kind of bluff on Matt Birk's part... even us Packer fans know that Birk don't roll that way, in spite of what I said in my initial post.

It's kind of interesting because I remember seeing an article sometime during last season that said Birk had put his house up for sale on a website. He probably saw this coming.

EDIT: Apparently it's this  house. And here's  the original forum post. Kind of funny, it's dated March 12th '08.
Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (16h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites
Zero2Cool (23h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?
packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?
Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”
beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout
beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.
beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?
beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked
Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?
beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.
bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year
Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league
packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt
Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why
Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.
beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."
Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme
Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline
beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon
packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
