Mike Wallace Rips Teddy Bridgewater On Way Out Of Minnesota

Wallace claimed he chose the Ravens because he needed “a good quarterback.” I’ll let his quotes stand on their own:

When this process started, I knew that I wasn’t going back to Minnesota. I was like, “I need a good quarterback.” I need a quarterback who I know is proven and can get things done.

Obviously that is a shot aimed directly at Vikings signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater. Minnesota’s 23-year-old quarterback possesses a notoriously weak arm and could never consistently connect with Wallace, who is a pure deep threat. In turn, Wallace chose to link up with Joe Flacco, who has one of the NFL’s strongest arms.

Jared Allen signed a one day contract with the Vikings today and then retired. Touching moment.

Jared also didn't bring along the Lombardi he failed to win in Carolina last year but did offer to symbolically put it next to the other Lombardi Trophies thereby nearly filling the trophy case with Viking Lombardi's that don't exist either. 

"Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.  And the seattle seahawks were lucky today".  Lucky the Vikings stuck. But really, SEA has had a ridiculous amount of crunch time luck the last 3 or 4 years.  I don't call NE's INT at the goal line in the SB or their getting embarrassed in CAR bad luck so I don't think their bill has come due yet. 

People in Minnesota are already struggling for words to describe ugliness of new Vikings stadium

Sure, you’ve seen renderings of the Minnesota Vikings‘ new stadium set to open this fall. But unless you live in the Twin Cities, you probably haven’t seen it with your own eyes — Pioneer Press columnist Joe Soucheray has, though, and he’s happy to describe it for you:

That stadium gives off a dark vibe.  Sheathed in black. Knife-edged. Towering.

Ugly.

No, ugly is too quick to the keyboard. Not charming. That’s it. It is not charming. It looks like a hangar for the bat-winged flying machines of evil alien forces. It was supposed to resemble a Viking ship, I thought, but the only vessel shape that comes to mind is a bloated Noah’s Ark, and I am sure the architects and the Wilfs didn’t imagine that.

“Bat-winged flying machines of evil alien forces” — now there’s what the XFL needed to stay in business.
