I am a huge Vikings fan.  I could not be happier that Wilf traded and ponied up the dough for Allen.  This trade not only makes the front 4 the best, but it makes the linebaker core just below average to slightly above average and the DB's from slightly above average to what could be the best in the league.  Now the corners don't have to cover soooo long while the line puts pressure on, and the LB's don't have to blitz all the time because the front 4 will put pressure on and get sacks.  The one guy who is the happiest could be Ray Edwards and Kevin Williams.  Now, the problem is the offense.  The running game is the best in the NFL.  Between Adrian Peterson, Chester Taylor and the feet of T Jack and the "Minnesota Moving Company" leading the way...more records will fall in the future.  If somehow someway...T Jack can figure out how throw efficiently.  Look at some past Super Bowl teams...Baltimore - Trent Dilfer...Tampa Bay - Brad Johnson...there are teams that can get to and win a Super Bowl with a less than spectacular QB.  Berrian will help and Rice needs to step up.  it will be up to the "offensive genius" that is Brad Childress to get his young QB to play above his level and out of his mind to get the Vikes well into a playoff run....SKOL VIKES

Brett Farve is killing the Packers.  I know that its hard to retire from a sport that you love.  Its hard to quit a job that you truly love and spend your entire life working toward.  He has done it all...Super Bowl Champion, MVP, Ironman of the sport.  A great career.  But, Brett, its time to make a decision.  This team cannot go into the draft without your decision.  Its time to stop being a selfish #### and make a decision.  I really don't know what you are waiting for.  No, the Packers haven't done alot to inprove their team from last year.  With a top ten pick in the draft they can get an impact player.  Javon Walker doesn't want to be a Packer anymore so there is potential for another high draft pick if they trade him away.  Yes, it would hurt the receiving corps, but I think that might be part of what is happening.  Maybe Brett doesn't want to be on the same team as Walker.  Has anyone thought of that possibility?  We know what happened between them with the holdout...is that what Brett is waiting for??  what ever he is waiting for he needs to let the Packer organization know and now.  He is holding the organization hostage.  They need a backup QB to help Rodgers along if Brett doesn't come back.  Its a bad play if they sign one now and he decides to come back.  BRETT ITS NOW OR NEVER...EITHER RETIRE OR NOT ITS TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
