VIKINGS RUMORS & GOSSIP
RED ALERT: Shirtless Vikings Do Harlem Shake Video
If that headline doesn't work for the internet, then nothing will.
What you see above is a picture from a video from Vikings players proving that the Harlem Shake phenomenon isn't QUIET dead yet. Unfortunately. It also proves that Harlem Shake videos are only enjoyable when they are shorter in length, and when they involve shirtless NFL players doing them. I also can...
Jared Allen isn’t about to take a pay cut: ‘if anybody asked me to take a pay cut, I'd be through the first door out of there’
Minnesota Viking defensive end Jared Allen said no one from the team’s front office has approached him about restructuring his contract. However, if that were to happen, it better not be a pay cut because Allen wants no part of that at all. The veteran is open to move some money around, but he isn’t going to take less money than what he signed for.
Jared Allen: Vikings haven’t talked contract ‘one iota’
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen is in the last season of the contract he signed in 2008 and is due to earn $14.3 million this season, which could be his last in a Vikings uniform. The 31-year-old spoke to Dan Wiedere of The Star Tribune and confirmed that Minnesota hasn’t asked him to restructure
Jared Allen says the Vikings haven’t asked him to renegotiate his contract
The Star Tribune caught up with Minnesota Vikings defense end Jared Allen and asked him if he was asked to renegotiate his contract this past offseason.
“You use the word restructure and that to me makes it feel like they’d want me to take a pay cut,” replied Allen. “And if anybody asked me to take a pay cut, I’d be through the first door out of there. So no. We haven...

Christian Ponder to Sign Stuff So I Can Give It To You
OK people, I'm not going to lie. This post is total corporate shill, but it's for a good cause. Namely, you may get free stuff out of it! And it's weird from my perspective, so we're totally rolling with it.
Word around the burning Metrodome campfire is that Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder will be attending a grand re-opening of a Champs Sports location at...
Confident Childs creating illusion he'll be back in purple
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Working out at the team's facilities, Minnesota Vikings receiver Greg Childs smiles widely, displaying a supreme confidence and looking nothing like a player in the midst of an intense rehab from a potentially career-ending injury.
Childs has always had that swagger, that confidence in himself and his physical gifts. It's one reason that he never doubted...

Vikings will rely on Rhodes to slow NFC North foes
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. For the past several years, the Minnesota Vikings have entered seasons with a preferred set of cornerbacks they believed could help them negate the pass-happy offenses in the NFC North.
Inevitably, injuries hit and poor performance left the secondary among the biggest weak spots for Minnesota. The injuries became a yearly issue with players like Cedric Griffin...

Look at This Awesome Old Vikings Sweater
Look at this god damn thing. It's a work of art. The deep purple, the kingly gold, the horizontal stripes. It's like whatever grandmother knitted this reached deep into my wet dreams and retrieved this from the ether to display it so finely on a weird ass mannequin. Not that I'm complaining. While I'd love to wear it, I will also gladly ogle it like a picture of Jennifer...
Vikings have plan to get rookie Patterson involved
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. From the moment the Minnesota Vikings made perhaps the draft's biggest move by trading a bevy of picks to acquire Cordarrelle Patterson in the first round, they've talked about a "plan" for developing the talented, but raw receiver.
Decision makers like general manager Rick Spielman and Leslie Frazier haven'tpubliclyspoken of details, instead...

Is Minnesota’s Christian Ponder the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL Quarterbacks?
Somehow, I know quite a few Minnesota Viking fans. A common trait they all share is their displeasure — bordering on embarassment — in regard to Minnesota’s starting quarterback, Christian Ponder. “We’d be fine if we had a better quarterback” is a phrase I’ve heard more than once from more than one disgruntled fan.
I must be honest and say that I haven’t spent a lot...

Over the course of the off-season we’ll be looking back at some of the major players who ‘broke out’ or outperformed their ADP by a drastic amount in the hopes that we can get a feel for what their 2013 fantasy football season holds and whether the break out is here to stay. Today the review subject is Kyle Rudolph.
There were a lot of breakout Tight Ends in 2012 – Dennis...
Vikings’ Chris Cook says he’ll “handle” opposing number one receivers
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook knows what he’s going to tell rookie Xavier Rhodes when it comes to covering the number one receiver of opposing teams. “Just let me handle them,” Cook said on 1500 ESPN Radio. Cook wants to sign an extension with Minnesota as he goes into the final year of his rookie deal. “I’m looking forward to coming back if that’s in the cards...
The Vikings Powerball Number is 7
With the Power Ball jackpot hitting upwards of $600 million, it seems like owner Zygi Wilf and the rest of the Vikings owners should buy some tickets to cover the rest of the cost of the Vikings awesomely designed new stadium.
There is no doubt that that Mr. Wilf will fill in the number 28 on those little lottery tickets to represent Adrian Peterson.
I’ll go...
