Vikings gave kicker Blair Walsh a 4-year extension worth up to $14 million, including $5.25 million guaranteed.

In a passing league, the vikes just committed eleventy billion to an old RB and a long distance field goal kicker. Sound strategery
They published a book about Richie Kotite? Expect a Kick Ass edition soon.
Adrian was asked if he thought he'd maybe played his last game as a Viking.
“The reality, and just to be straightforward with you … I knew I really wasn’t going anywhere,” Peterson said. “I am the type of person that likes to look at things from different views, so I put myself in the Vikings situation—the owners, the head coach. We’re not gonna let you go. I revert back to the Percy Harvin situation. Me, if I was the owner of the Vikings, there’s no way I would have let him go. But unfortunately for us, he ended up leaving—but that’s the way I would have looked at it"
Holy ****ing **** is that awesome.
"We're not going to let you go".....?!?!?!
So, in Adrian's mind, he thinks that when Rick, Zimmer, and Wilf looked at the team in the off season they had already decided there was no possible way they would allow Adrian go anywhere else.
And then Adrian follows up his belief that Rick, and Zimmer, and Wilf have such a complete lack of confidence in a team without Adrian that Adrian feels compelled to dust off Percy as an example of how Rick and Wilf done ****ed up once already.
Good lord this quote is about as good as it gets.
Peter King is starting his training camp reports with Minny. I read his stuff to keep up on what is going on throughout the league but, good heavens, as he gets older he's becoming more and more nauseating to read. He latches on to favorite souls (I mean sources) and then just ****-gobbles to no end. Witness his latest suckitude.
Gut feeling about this team as I left town. I’m drinking the Kool-Aid. I think if Bridgewater continues his natural progression—he was the league’s second-highest-rated quarterback over the last five weeks of the 2014 season—and offensive coordinator Norv Turner continues to school him in the fine art of not turning it over, this team will be a serious threat the Packer division supremacy.
The Chip Kelly slurp-fest will be epic.
Casey Matthews blew out a hip running hurdles apparently. At least he didn't actually have to put on a purple jersey.

Couldn't agree more. He's become a cross between a league shill and a knob-gobbler
I used to look forward to his work, now its barfola. No worries, he'll whip those purpler losers into a frenzy, but we all know how it ends. 
You people are a little slow on the Teddy uptake.
Teddy set 91 Viking records as a rook last year!!!

Viking articles are the best.
Stitch a few of those "records" together for a real laugh:

Old: 52.3 Christian Ponder, 11/14/2011
Fantastic! Superbowl bound for sure!
Bridgewater to me looked like an improvement over what the Vikes had in the past since 2010, but that isn't saying much. There's a number of really impressive things about Bridgewater, but one thing that wasn't impressive was his downfield accuracy. I mean, I couldn't believe how off he was on some of those throws against the Pack.
Bridgewater looked like a good game manager type QB, but for the Vikings to be truly challenging the Pack, he'd need to vastly improve those downfield throws.
I actually could see the Vikings being a pretty good team, but they're not in the Pack's class.
New: Most third down completions in the 2nd quarter of a game against a team with an animal mascot by a non-left handed rookie under 6'4" tall with the wind under 5 mph and the sum of the uniform numbers of all offensive players on the field being a prime number over 250
Old: Never even calculated or considered
MAKE THAT 92 RECORDS
Bridgewater will make Turd Ferguson look like the love child of Jim Marshall and Bert Faver. He'll get hit early in the year and all of his limbs will go flying off in different directions, thereby setting up the collective whine from those asswipe fans - mhaaaaahh... If the Great Teddy Bridgewater was healthy the Queenies would win it all!
Haha.
A LOT of the press are hopping on the Queens bandwagon. Queens fans are buying it hook line and sinker. Will make the inevitable implosion that much better.
Meanwhile, nobody is talking about GB. I like it.
3rd season, still doesn't get it? good luck with that.

“Cordarrelle is on a good track right now, OK? Now, can he sustain? Can he continue to sustain what he’s doing? Because like today, I thought he had a good day,” Zimmer said, via USA Today. “In OTAs, I thought he improved. He’ll have really good days, and then he’ll have some not-so-good days. Really, I think what he needs to do is just the consistency every single day and the consistency in studying, the consistency in getting extra help that he needs if he needs it, running the routes the same all the time and understanding that there’s a lot of great athletes that play professional sports, and there’s a lot of great athletes that don’t make it in professional sports because they don’t have the other intangibles. To me, the biggest thing with him is that: Does he want to be ‘Flash’ or does he want to be a great receiver? I’m not trying to dog him or anything, but that’s really what it is.”
This is awesome.

Bridgewater is so dominant that he's doing things never before heard of as a QB!!!!
I don't think the Queens are in our class, BUT, they're team should be improved. Who knows what they'll get out of AP, he had last year off. Bridgewater, played pretty well last year as a rookie, with a crap sandwich for RB's and WR's. I'm not saying he's going to be All Pro, but AP and Mike Wallace could help him, plus, he's got one year in the NFL.

The first QB to conquer the space time continuum?
I agree. I think they'll be improved, especially defensively.
Irregardless.....unless the Packers turn the ball over or have players out of the game due to injury, I see no reason why the Pack won't sweep them again.
So, if AP beats a linebacker for a touchdown do we say that he beat him like a rented child?
Too soon?
If AP's so big on looking at things from the other point of view, he should have looked at things from that 4-year-old's perspective before starting the whipping... What a crock!
Goalline is setting the world record for going the longest without being sober.
So far he's up to 47 years.
more from Peter King
this time a 2 minute video talking about how awesome the vikes are
Of course it includes bridgewater underthrowing Wallace for an INT at the 1:20 mark

Peter needs better video editors, he should find out who the vikes use

Not his fault that he is so cultured.

Well, I was born sober, but not for long.
Teddy set another Viking record for wearing gloves for a camp pick before August 1 today. All that kid does is set records.
While we're here. A quick shout out to Eden Prairie dentist Walter Palmer who helped draw a beloved lifelong favorite lion out of a game preserve in Zimbabwe on July 1 and shred Cecil the Lion's organs to slaw with a bow and arrow and then pose for a trophie shot. Walter already had a license violation in 2008 for bring down a black bear in WI.
Walter shut his doors today as the stuffed lions piled up on his office doorstep.
Congrats Walter Palmer!!! You are the biggest dick in America tonight.
The Vikings Suck. And so does Minnesotta.
During a nighttime pursuit, the hunters tied a dead animal to their car to lure the lion out of a national park, said Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force. Palmer shot it with a bow and arrow, injuring the animal. The wounded lion was found 40 hours later and shot dead with a gun, Rodrigues said in the statement.
The lion was skinned and beheaded. The hunters tried to destroy the lion’s collar, fitted with a tracking device, but failed, the statement said.
Yup, no reason for Palmer to think any of that was illegal.
Minnesotta Nice is on the left.
I sincerely hope a rabid animal sinks a pair or misaligned incisors right through your jugular you big game ****.
Cecil's untimely departure leaves his 24 cubs unprotected, and likely to be killed by other lions.
Their blood is on Palmer's hands as well.
Sleep well, asshat!
I realize responsible hunting is necessary, even though I don't participate.
But I've never been able to shake the feeling that most of these "big-game hunters" have small penis issues.
My friend (a Viking fan) who I'm using as a reference for a new job, sends me this e-mail....with a "signature" pic at the end.
Of course you can use me as a reference. The only thing I'm not comfortable with is your love of the Packers...We will see how (New Company he is at) plays out. It's all very new...Good Luck!Go Vikings,

Just think. He isn't even the worst Vikings fan.
Vikings use Peterson to promote Family Day
After all, what says SuperDad more than someone whipping his child to a bloody pulp.
