Today we had meetings and the receivers and quarterbacks stayed for extra film, so everybody else got out before us. After I walked to the locker room and my phone rang....

He drives a Maserati? Kind of high end considering him being on a rookie contract and not having established himself as a proven player yet.

I think this kind of stuff is awesome.
Again, thanks for the reads Singer.
I love the chemistry this team seems to have and that is one prime reason I am more excited about the potential of thei team then I have been in a long time.
I'm excited every year but there is always that glimpse of doubt.
This year is the exception.
I am usually nervous against crappy teams.
I never take any games for granted because it is the NFL and anything can happen.
But I expect the Vikings not only to beat bad teams but destroy them this year.

I like this stuff too...keeps the energy level high, but lightens up the tension a little.

AD should keep the car until Rice puts up some real numbers this season.

Remember, Sid was a 2nd-rounder.
Yes, he has "millions", but not ludicrous millions.
