Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (3/24/2015 8:46:15 AM)

Mackey

Adrian,

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for paying you millions of dollars to carry the ball 21 times in 2014. That St. Louis Rams defense was ferocious.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for holding a press conference, just hours after your indictment, defending your honor. Even though this press conference made the franchise look extremely foolish under a national spotlight -- subsequently infuriating fans, media, the NFL and Radisson Hotels - I apologize.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for Matt Asiata and his 3.5 yards per carry. I know how frustrating that must have been for you to watch from afar.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for ignoring the itch to restructure your contract and instead offering to pay your 2015 salary of $12+ million in full - and $15 million toward the salary cap - despite the non-guaranteed nature of said contract, your age (30) at a volatile position and your injury history.

I also want to apologize, Adrian, on behalf of the Vikings, for offering this chance at redemption -- a chance to play for the Vikings again in 2015 despite all that transpired. Most of the fans, media and people in the organization believed a second chance was warranted in this situation, but clearly that was a misread.

And finally, I want to apologize on behalf of the state of Minnesota, which callously charged you with injuring a child via a switch in the first place. If we had all just looked the other way, everything would be cool, right?

Wait, what? Oh, it was Texas that charged Peterson, not Minnesota?

OK, then I apologize on behalf of the state of Texas.

Well, you get the idea, Adrian. I, on behalf of the Vikings, feel horrible about all of our missteps over the past few months.

Hopefully you can forgive us.

Adrian,

I think you may want to apologize, to all of the Vikings Fans, Who utimatly paid you, millions of dollars thru ticket pricing and merchandise and nfl TV money, to only have to DO YOUR JOB!! and carry the ball a 
TOTAL of 21 times in 2014. That St. Louis Rams defense was ferocious. [&o]

I want you to apologize, to the Vikings Orgnization, for holding a press conference, just hours after your indictment, defending your honor. Even though this press conference made the franchise look extremely foolish under a national spotlight -- subsequently infuriating fans, media, the NFL and Radisson Hotels - You should appologise to us for thinking our "defense and concern for you" mattered, to you, at all.

I want you to apologize, to the Vikings fans, for having to watch Matt Asiata and his 3.5 yards per carry and getting stuffed, for no gain.
 
 You, in your selfish little world, have no idea how frustrating it is to watch a plodder rush for 5 yards, knowing that "mr Switchy" could have busted off 20 or more on the same play.


I want you to apologize,  To the Vikings, for offering to pay your 2015 salary of $12+ million in full - and $15 million toward the salary cap - despite the idiotic, self inflicted, damage to your career and the hit to the reputation of The Vikings franchise, that has been taken, by us, for you being such a TOOL!

I also want you to apologize, Adrian, TO the Vikings and their millions of Fans, for offering you a chance at redemption -- a chance to play for the Vikings again in 2015 despite all that transpired.

Most of the fans, media and people in the organization believed a second chance was warranted in this situation, but clearly WE were Mistaken about YOUR LOYALTY!!


And finally, I want you to apologize TO of the state of Minnesota, which callously charged you with injuring a child via a switch in the first place. If we had all just looked the other way, everything would be cool, right?

Wait, what? Oh, it was Texas that charged Peterson, not Minnesota?

OK, then I want you to apologize to the state of Texas, for being an idiot, in regards to proper Child rearing methods..

Well, you get the idea, Adrian. WE, on behalf of the Vikings and all their fans Everywhere, feel horrible about all of your missteps over the past few months.

Hopefully for you, we can forgive Your DUMBASS!!.

poetic license by DLY.

To boils Dan's post down to its essence ...

Dear Adrian,

Go f*** yourself.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (3/24/2015 4:44:16 PM)

So

IF the Vikings don't cave

And at this point who knows who will blink first in this game of chicken

And #28 plays

Will you cheer for him?

I don't know if I really will.



Lynn G. -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (3/24/2015 7:53:37 PM)

Based on other years when there is a player I have an issue with - as soon as he starts performing I tend to forget the angst and just cheer for anything that helps us win.

So yes, I'll cheer for him.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/7/2015 2:27:23 PM)

Guess I don't get this one

Sullivan, who turns 30 in August, was rewarded with a one-year extension and a pay raise for each of the next three seasons. His base salaries are now $5.9M, $5.4M and $5.4M

For being one of the "better" players on a horse-crap offensive line??



TJSweens -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/7/2015 2:52:08 PM)

I don't get it either Ed. It's like Ryan extending Phil Hughes for no reason. The guy is locked up through age 31. Why give him a new deal that almost doubles his salary?



Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/9/2015 3:06:06 PM)

After starting preseason vs. #Steelers in HOF game, #Vikings will play Tampa Bay, Oakland and travel to Dallas and Tennessee

Thought I was on the Wild thread, where winners hang out. [:D]

It's more fun to watch UND get beat. Check out ESPN2.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/16/2015 1:50:47 PM)

[&:][&:][&:][&:][&:]

Peterson essentially told by #Vikings, come to work or explain publicly why you shouldn't earn $13 million no other NFL team will pay you


Vikes playing a pretty good poker game.



Todd M -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/16/2015 2:26:43 PM)

It's not going to be that hard for Dallas to tear up the old contract and give him a huge signing bonus. Added to whatever his salary for the year is...might even be a raise.



SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/16/2015 2:45:24 PM)

Should be interesting
Only a couple people know how this will turn out
Would be nice to get it straightened out and move forward.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/22/2015 7:53:38 AM)

How ridiculous the NFL and it's networks are, spending hours over the 2015 schedule and predicting records

in April



TJSweens -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/22/2015 8:12:53 AM)

Almost as ridiculous as the 9:20 CST start time for the San Francisco game.



bstinger -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/22/2015 8:17:12 AM)

Wow, I didn't notice that start time, that sucks. FU Goodell.

If they want that start time, use 2 west coast teams



SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/30/2015 1:43:50 PM)

The more I see of Suzy Kolber, the more I understand where Joe Namath was coming from.



SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/30/2015 1:50:59 PM)

Sounds like Shane Rays pot issue will push him into the 10-20 range.
Hmmmm.



SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/30/2015 2:05:12 PM)

Interesting to see Shelly Smith of ESPN completely bald.
Good to see her working again.



SoMnFan -> RE: Vikes talk for Twins fans (4/30/2015 2:22:24 PM)

McShay still has us taking Michigan States Waynes

If they can get him a few picks down,I would not be surprised to see a trade out.
