Americans are spoiled people. Try being an athlete in the Eastern Block. In Bulgaria, for instance, if you play professional sports other than soccer you get paid around 500$ a month, which is pretty weak even for Bulgaria...

I think maybe you mean American Athletes are spoiled people? I'd hate for you to generalize about the entire population of 350+ million people when that's clearly not true about everyone.

Yeah sorry somehow forgot to write the word and wasn't paying attention. American athletes are spoiled

Much better! And I totally agree with that as well.

That would be awesome if the Vikings got McDaniels and Singletary. Our coaching staff would be pretty amazing. Best of all we'd have a real offense and no more of Bevell's crap.

If we get McDaniels they'd probably try to trade for Orton then who is actually a good fit and is probably the best option out there.

Meh Americans as a whole are pretty spoiled too, looking at global consumption, emissions (per capita) and such. But I agree one two counts. 1. American athletes are spoiled. 2. but not all americans are.

OH yeah and Mcdaniels would be pretty awesome, pretty expensive relative to Bevell, but hey your cutting off 17mill from a certain someone that should be distributed to AP, Rice, and actual coachs.

Kyle Orton's one of those guys that doesn't:
a. force it, he knows what he can do. That's good for a team with really good recievers and AP
b. give up on the pass at the first sign of danger.

Add him to one of the top 4 (but plese not Newton) QB's and that's a nice start.

We fired the Oline coach too thank god, he totally deserved it.

If they cut Berrian, Madieu Williams, and McKinnie we'll have a lot of freed up money. No other team would ever give us anything for these chumps anyways.

I am cool with McDaniels and Orton. Singletary would just be icing on the cake at that point.

Seriously, right? Those three guys are absolutely BRUTAL. Sad thing is, they are all making a ton of money. Cut them, please. The common fan might hear their name and think they are good or whatever, but we are not overreacting by saying they are massive amounts of suck.

Read this, and the comments as well. He went easy on McKinnie, who was terrible. Seriously, he could be cut and I would rejoice.

Your 2010 Minnesota Vikings Mushroom Stampies

If we do hire MIke Singletary i hope our linebackers have some tough skin because they will get their asses chewed out if they do something stupid. Which is good but if you get to the point where the 49ers team was and all of them were scared of him you have guys not living up to their potential. But either way I want the guy on the team as a coach.

I would rather have Brian Billick as OC but Josh McDaniels will do alright as long as you don't listen to him for personnel decisions because he failed at that as a Head Coach.

With the right offense we will go from worst in the division back to division title right away the talent is there except at Qb, O-line, and Defensive Backs. Get 2 of the 3 solved in the off-season and we are solid. Cutting the 3 that RH mentioned would be amazing as well. Madieu Williams was the most dissappointing pickup we could have ever made in franchise history and least Berrian had one good year.

So anyone else for replacing Berrian with Webb, drafting a qb and lots of O line and maybe a safety, picking up Orton, cutting the crap as aforementioned, resigning Rice and AP, and signing McDaniels and Singletary?

I'd love for that to happen.
btw anyone know of any good free agent safety, olinemen?

Speaking of Singletary who would our Linbacker's be? EJ definitley, do we keep leber although he's kinda slow. Greenway will want too much, so Brinkley's probably going to start.

Ugghh, Zookeeper you are starting a shitstorm mentioning all these free agents. Somehow, we're going to keep and let go of the wrong ones, I fear.

Agree with your thoughts on Leber though. Not sure about Webb there...Who knows what he'll ever be at any position.

Nnamdi Asomugha is a free agent

The Vikings have to get him! He's such a beast. In 14 games this season he was targeted by only 33 passes and gave up 13 receptions for 200 yards and no touchdowns. Asher Allen practically gives that up every game

How did I not realize that Roundhouse? he is easily the most underrated on that side of the ball. Wilf, please, please, please!
