MNF At Minnesota's Stadium: Vikings vs Bears Open Thread

PrintIf you're looking for Nebraska football content.... it's not here. Not tonight.
No, tonight we're watching the Minnesota Vikings vs the Chicago Bears. Why? Because it's being played at the University of Minnesota's Goldy Gopher stadium. You know the Metrodome roof caved in, right? You know that Minnesota's stadium wasn't designed for football this time of year, even though it's an outdoor stadium in MINNESOTA, right?
Did you know that it's been snowing all day here in the Twin Cities, that the roads are a mess, that they're offering free tickets to Minnesota students who show an ID, and that the radio all week has been taking suggestions from people on how to best sneak booze into a game?
If that ain't enough, Brett Attention Whore Favre has decided that he needs to start the game - after all, it is Monday Night Football, and gawd knows that Brett can't pass up the announcers fawning over him just one more time!
This one has all the happenings of a trainwreck, made even better by the fact that it's the NFC Norris division.
Wohooeeee!

Boo on both teams.
That is all. Except for Gerhart. I hope he gets all the carries and touchdowns, because he is on my fantasy team. Hooray AP being hurt!

Attention Whore?
Granted, I’m not in Minnesota, but I hardly consider Favre feeling well enough to play to be an attention whore…
oh mike
after all the retire/unretire/retire/unretire stuff….????
Hell, the Vikings imploded this year and some of that is because Favre wouldn’t do training camp, then didn’t have any timing with his receivers in his first three games this season……

When Chili keeps begging, groveling, etc...
…what do you expect?
I didn’t watch a lot of the Vikes this season, but from what I saw, it was less timing issues and more the lack of an offensive line. Have you seen some of the hits Favre took this season? Thing is, the other quarterbacks were getting reamed in the preseason, so it wasn’t Favre…
Hey all,,,,
just got home from Riley’s BB practice and fighting a chest cold!!! Life is good!!!

They were looking good at the start, but then they remembered they were the Vikings and their oline turned into a sieve.

hell
what’d they do this year with one that was supposed to be good?
I don’t know…. they have to get someone in the draft, but knowing them, they’ll bring in some old veteran, worried that they can’t afford “rebuilding” seasons.

Doug Colman and Jimmy Williams’ names have both been floated out there.

i don't think
Jimmy Williams will be the guy…. he was fired by Turner Gill at Buffalo, and I don’t think he got along with Pelini before…. in 2003.

4-star cornerback Tevin Mitchell of Texas has decommitted from Nebraska…picked Arkansas instead.

sounds about right for recruiting season, though. We lost a TE recruit the day before….. but nobody apparently noticed that one.
