The Minnesota Vikings have been trying, for quite some time, to convince the Minnesota state legislature and other governmental entities in Minnesota to provide economic aid and development for a new stadium. The Viking franchise has also been frequently mentioned as a candidate to move to L.A...

I'm sorry my friends.....

If Brett Favre played for the Minnesota Vikings and got them within sniffing distance of the Superbowl, Viking fans would be all hyped up. A hyped up fan base translates to votes for a new stadium. And we all know a politician in pursuit of votes can run a 4.2s 40m and jump higher than LeBron James.

A hyped up fan base isn't gonna out vote a pissed on tax paying public.
This still comes down to what/who pocket is being lined and not if Lord Dickhead is putting his hands under Birks ass.

This is so blatantly bogus, you could almost convince me that Bono wrote it....except it lacks the trademark misspelling and grammer errors.

True, but a winning season and a super bowl run couldn't hurt the effort.
Granted, I would rather it happen with someone other than Fav-re under center...

That is what I was thinking. Who the hell comes up with this shit. Next thing you know they will have Madden changing direction and talking positive about his early childhood in Austin and possibly moving back there so he can be closer to Brett's ass.

The excitement is already there without Lord Dickhead.
I am sure it will only increase as the season wears on.
;D

([s]Marrdro[/s]TJ has a glow of confidence about him this year.

Lets hope it doesn't come down to that.

In think this whole thing is one of the funniest soap operas I've ever witnessed. I am eating it up. Just think of the possibilities and the fun the Vikings could have with all of this at the Packer's expense.
1. The first game of the season would be the largest football TV audience probably EVER! Of course the jersey retirement is over.
2. Farve hates the Packers so much that when he goes into the Hall of Fame he goes in as a Viking.
3. The Packer fans will turn on their owners and many will become Viking fans wearing Farve Viking jerseys.
4. I have a huge Packer fan in my church down here in Kentucky. I can't wait to be able to dig him over this. We all have friends like this.

The only guy I feel sorry for is TJ but he's still young and he will be a great backup for Favre. Don't look at it from the angle of hating Favre even though he is a dickhead. Just think of the FUN we'll have sticking it to the hated Packer fans.
;D ;D ;D

You go into the HoF as a player, not part of a team.

For instance, Cris Carter would be in there as Cris Carter: Eagle, Viking, Dolphin.
They list all the teams they played on

And team(s) to which they made a major contribution are bolded or highlighted or somesuch.

So - Gary Zimmerman will have TWO bold teams on his bust - Denver and the Vikes.
But someone like Dave Casper would NOT have the Vikings bolded/highlighted on his bust, just listed.
