thoughts during this preseason game In 2006, virtually all Viking fans were critical of Brad Childress's offensive philosophy: dink and dunk, short passes, no aggressiveness, no creativity. What if, for the sake of argument, the 2009 Vikings had the exact same offensive scheme, strategy, and attitude as the Vikings had in 2006. If that were the case, the 2009 Viking offense would be far, far, far superior....

Does Jennifer Walcott's Dad Own A UFL Team? I'm not sure either, but the UFL draft was held last night and many former "big" name NFL players were drafted, most notably, our beloved Adam Archuleta .

Via the league's twitter account , it has been announced that Brandon Ledbetter and Jermaine Wiggins have been selected by the San Francisco and Orlando franchises, respectively. This is the first UFL Draft update from the league, which we assume means these are the first two players to be "selected" or to have dibs called on them. If this is the case, our mock draft was way off. Keep checking...

This isn't really related to tomorrow's game, but it's just too good to pass up, particularly for me. Those of you who have been around this site since the beginning know the affinity I had for tight end Jermaine Wiggins when he wore the purple and gold. The rationale behind this was that, as a fat guy, I like to see my fellow fat guys succeed. Granted, I'm significantly less fat now than I was then,...

Not a day goes by that I don’t think to myself, “I wonder what former Vikings tight end Jermaine Wiggins has been up to?” And today I finally got my answer - Jermaine, it turns out, has been training to make his debut in MMA. Yes, I checked - it’s the same Jermaine Wiggins who [...]

Draft picks were used on Sidney Rice and Aundrae Allison. Bobby Wade came via free...
