Sometimes the best deals you make are the ones you don't make.

(e.g. Denard Walker, Fred Smoot, and I forgot the name of the WR that Tice signed and had soooooo much trouble with in his rookie year as HC. )

I wasn't complaining about it, just saying no matter what your opinion on the strategy, the fact is there is no headline-making news about the Vikings these days.
