I just saw that John Madden died. I wasn’t a big fan, but he was a football icon.

Greatest color guy in the history of the NFL. Revolutionized the job in the booth. The sweat contest. Hilarious comments.

Once said about Leroy Hoard; "If you need one yard, he'll get you three. If you need five yards, he'll get you three."

Madden was the best. It wasn't an act. Just a genuine football guy.

Mond is on the active roster too. It’s not until game day that they have to deactivate players.

So it’ll be interesting to see who is #2 and who is inactive Sunday.

As of yesterday you could get a lower level ticket on the 30 yard line for as low as $160. It will be $120 by Friday.

It really is too bad their isn't NFL Europe or an XFL type of thing where NFL teams could play QB's under their contractual control to find out if they have what it takes.

It would help cleanup the 'crapshoot' at the position and I think if teams could assign players to these lower levels there would be some fan interest.

I would watch XFL, AFL ... if Sloter was playing and was a Viking under contract.

There is times where I can barely watch the Vikings with Cousins, let alone the Tampa Bay Vipers with Sloter.

Who starts in place of Udoh, Wyatt Davis or Dakota Dozier?

I had a friend who went to the SF game. He sat next to Davis' dad. He said his son was doing most of his work at Center.

This is another thing that makes me nuts. Davis was a 5 star recruit out of high school at guard. He was an All Big 10 selection and a 1st team All American selection at guard. He was drafted as a guard. But, we think that a not very good offensive line coach is going to turn him into a center?

Welcome to the MN Vikings' practice field, where tackles are made to play guard, guards are made to play center, and the player with the most clout starts unless injured with no regard to talent or past performance. Who plays tackle you ask? The one good one of course and then whatever garbage we have lying around can play left tackle because as we know, left tackle is the most meaningless and least important of the spots. Just put wrestlers in at all the spots if possible.

Thatd prob work

- just a tip: if you're going to make fun of wrestlers you should probably keep it over the net and not face-to-face

I don't see that I made fun of wrestlers.

It struck me as being very complimentary to wrestlers.

It didn't have anything to do with wrestlers themselves but rather how the team seems to talk up their picks for the line by saying he was a wrestler. Was he? Great! Can he play his position well? No? Then who cares if he was a wrestler.
