Oh GOODY
To recap:
Rick would like to trade down and acquire more picks.
He doesn't plan on moving up but he might.
If a player they love falls to 11 they will take him.
Honestly, I don't think higher plane genius like this should simply flow freely to the general public. When other GM's adopt this kind of forward thinking it's changing everything.
He's said that the last four years, and every year he's traded up from his second for Harrison Smith, Cordarelle Patterson and Teddy Bridgewater, respectively.
It wouldn't happen for many reasons, but it would be classic if the Packers traded for the Vikings' first round pick to select another MVP Super Bowl winning quarterback for after Rodgers retires. Anything to once again show that it is the cosmic destiny of the Vikings to suck.
The draft is the Vikings' opportunity to set their franchise back another decade.
Dear Lord! Tiny hands is at the Derby, give him the MVP now!
Adrian Peterson would be a good jockey.

Why? Because he likes to use the whip?

Austin Wentworth's career ends at age 25. Injury, imprisonment, traded, it just doesn't matter - The Vikings aren't very good.
I feel bad for the guy and don't mean to make light of his situation but it is true. Minnesota Vikings, where careers go to die.
Daughter's softball team lost in the semi's today. My favorite fan wore her AP jersey. Again.
Daughters team wear purple jerseys. Lost to a team that wears green. After the game my favorite mom in the AP jersey said "thought we had them".
Me, "you're familiar with losing to a team wearing green aren't you". That was my 2015 softball walk off shot.
She's actually not a horrible person. Misguided. Poor taste in jerseys. After the past 2 months she had to know I'd play the green jersey card.
She eats her boogers, doesn't she?
Cry for help.
Her husbands too. Viking fans are odd.
I was going to ask if she caught AR on Jeopardy but they strike me as a "Simpsons" kind of clan.

You can always take your daughter to that instead of the Todd Rundgren concert.
the witty banter between keil and fedya is really what sets this place apart from a conversation between grandmothers at a nursing home
EKB is just envious that he's not as witty as Blair Kiel and I are. :toobad:
at least you area consistent with your judgement of "witty"

I've never liked Moss but must admit I like this story.
agreed. Good for him
It seems Moss is growing up (finally). In today's paper there was an article on him signing autographs free to help a former teammate's football camp scholarship fund. Took him long enough, but better late than never...
I can understand why Adrian is upset at the vikings. He's the victim after all. I thought it was reprehensible the way that child repeatedly hit Adrian's whip with his butt.
So he loses out $250,000. Pocket change to him.
Yep. And I hope that POS **** keeps losing pocket change all the way to bankruptcy.
AP is just making Vikings fans clamor for him all the more. The public has a short memory. All AP has to do is score his first TD or make his first 20-yard slash-and-run and NFL fans will be saying, "What child abuse?"
AP has to show up at some point. Based on all that's happened now isn't the time to start missing child support payments.
He has a long way to go before he starts missing child support payments. My guess is he still wants that trade, most likely to Dallas, and he's still trying to force it. The Vikes' front office is holding firm, so it's going to be a case of which side blinks first. My guess is AP will blink when the first check doesn't hit the bank...
Hope he holds out the entire season.
Just think how fresh his legs will be then.
Mike Zimmer with as strong a statement as he's made on Peterson: "He's got two choices. He can play for us or not play."

Reminds me of a Harriet Beecher Stowe quote:
"There is a time for conversation and a time for the switch. Failing to recognize which path is right is why you've still never won a Super Bowl"
Zimmer squirts a little testosterone into the fray, that's always helpful...and the polarization of the locker room continues. I'm sure Adrian will give extra effort now
vikings are stoooopid and they will most certainly screw the poooch on this issue just like they've screwed the pooooch on every issue in their past.
What a bunch of maroons....
