The only one not in the fold yet for the coming years is Finley, and I think that deal gets done.

Looks like we are going to stay solidly in the hunt for good draft picks.

This is getting ugly. Ponder is only 18 passing yards ahead of me today...

:-) LOL
With the #2 or #3 pick, at least we will get OT Matt Kalil or I would say the LSU corner... we desperately need secondary help but can't pass on a good OT. If we get #3, I'm happy with either of those two or trade back a few spots for someone wanting a QB.

Plus Stanford's OT Martin is coming out now too...

He'd be great, but we'd have to hope that we could trade Ponder to help out at another position.

You guys will really like Morris Claiborne out of LSU. I think that Arizona is happy with Patrick Peterson, lol.

With the Indy win last night the Vikes have a great chance at getting the #1 pick. The question is, would we take Luck if we did have the first pick? It wouldn't surprise me if we traded the #1 pick for multiple picks and stayed with Ponder. I think that might actually be a better choice.

As a Packers fan, I approve of this message. I want Luck nowhere near the NFC North.

Good luck tomorrow fellas. I have a feeling the Redskins will look impressive for a change! Sorry.

Driver is the only receiver long in the tooth. Every other receiver has plenty of tread left on the tires.

Everyone, save Finley, is signed for at least the next two seasons.

It looks like the Redskins D is trying to take away the Vikings #1 pick. Losing the game: so easy a caveman can do it!

What does your dad do?
Edward was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out, Fireman, Policeman, Salesman, Carpenter, Dairy Farmer, etc.
But Edward was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
'My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him.'
The teacher quickly gave the other children some work and took little Edward aside to ask him if that was really true.
'No' said Edward, 'He plays football for the Vikings, but I was just too embarrassed to say it in front of the class.'

Man, if you're going make an offensive joke about our favorite team, at least make it funny.

It is just plain obvious that the Vikings offense works better with Joe Webb under center.

I've been saying that for 3 weeks now. And I'm not fond of the Vikings.

Jus to put things in perspective, you got beat by the back up to the back up quarterback, the back up running back, no receiving corps outside of Harvin, and the weakest secondary in the league. Next time, talk smack after the game is done.

Keep in mind thought that it's Webbs second season with a training camp and starter experience under his belt. Ponder hasn't had a training camp and was put in half way through the season. I think Ponder is the better long term QB but both have the potential to do well in the league.
