EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. For the past several years, the Minnesota Vikings have entered seasons with a preferred set of cornerbacks they believed could help them negate the pass-happy offenses in the NFC North.

Look at This Awesome Old Vikings Sweater
Look at this god damn thing. It's a work of art. The deep purple, the kingly gold, the horizontal stripes. It's like whatever grandmother knitted this reached deep into my wet dreams and retrieved this from the ether to display it so finely on a weird ass mannequin. Not that I'm complaining. While I'd love to wear it, I will also gladly ogle it like a picture of Jennifer...

The Vikings Powerball Number is 7
With the Power Ball jackpot hitting upwards of $600 million, it seems like owner Zygi Wilf and the rest of the Vikings owners should buy some tickets to cover the rest of the cost of the Vikings awesomely designed new stadium.
There is no doubt that that Mr. Wilf will fill in the number 28 on those little lottery tickets to represent Adrian Peterson.
I’ll go...

Cordarrelle Patterson Will Be a Bust with Minnesota Vikings
As a Vols fan, it was nice seeing a former player go in the first round of the NFL Draft after another abysmal year.However, that doesn't mean the pick will work out.When the Vikings took Cordarrelle Patterson 29th overall, it seemed like a good move until they revealed what was given up: a second, third, fourth and seventh round pick. That's basically the Vikings'...
Damn! The Minnesota Vikings Fly Through Video of Their New Stadium is Badass
Opening the roof over the new home of the Minnesota Vikings would have forced planners of the $975 million project to eliminate some of the fancy features. So the team, the public agency in charge of the stadium and the architects designing it literally saw the light. The yet-to-be-named multipurpose facility will have a translucent roof and moveable front windows. Bryan Trubey,...
