Fowler/L.A. Vikings?

Bring on Taylor...the only potential owner with the clout to get the new stadium deal done!!!

Vikes are not going anywhere. The Gophers are getting their stadium on campus and will happen in next 2 years. Then the Vikes will get theirs by the time the dome lease is up. The twinkies are the loosers here though as they will be stuck in that condemed park till it rots to the ground.

Oh by the way, Fowler will not get the Vikes. He is having major trouble finding a buyer for his aerospace plastics company for $300 MM and is the only way he can afford this team.

Get used to old Red cause he is going to be around town longer then most think, till he and Taylor can come to a price for the team. The look on Red's face when he has to sign the checks for all the off season F/A moves ..... PRICELESS !!!

I'm not ready to say Fowler won't get the team. He hit a snag, its not over for him.

Even if both Fowler and Taylor don't get the Vike's this year I'm still happy since Red already shelled out the $$$ for some FA's, although it'll only insure he'll never EVER spend money on the team again.

They probably just had a meeting for a proposal. Tags is big on getting a team in LA. Just hearing them out I suppose. (hopefully)

I have a hard time believing that the NFL would want someone with such shady business practices. Look how they are with Tice over a few lousy tickets. Do they really want someone with no less than a dozen unsatisfied judgements against him. I never thought I'd say this but I hope Red has this team for this year only. Then let Taylor buy it. I think he's getting more focused on it.

Because I want Taylor to be the owner...then he will keep the Vikings in Minnesota...where they belong!!!
