3 weeks ago I remember following the NFL Draft this year and knowing that when the Vikings took UCLA punter Jeff Locke in the 5th round, that Chris Kluwe's days were numbered as a Minnesota Viking. Today, the Vikings made it official.
4 weeks ago Pro football legend Bud Grant will be recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate Insurance Company in Superior on Wednesday, May 1, as part of “Hometown Hall of Famers™,” a national program honoring the hometown roots of the sport’s greatest coaches, players, and contributors with special ceremonies and plaque dedication events in local communities.
April 4, 2013 This shows once again the complete lack of organization in Minnesota State Government. The e-pulltab money is coming up short so rather than be resourceful and look for alternatives, some lawmakers want a "do over" on the Viking's stadium bill that they already passed.
In a move that could give football fans unprecedented access — and nightmares of watching 300-pound men get undressed — the NFL will require all of its teams to install cameras in home locker rooms for the 2013 season.
March 19, 2013 With the Minnesota Vikings preparing to open their new stadium in a few years, there are still major financial obligations to put into place and they received great news from the league this week.
March 15, 2013 For the Vikings to determine whether Christian Ponder is truly an NFL starting quarterback, they have to get wide receivers around him who have solid skill sets. Trading Percy Harvin was a step backwards, but today they hope to have taken a step back in the right direction by signing free agent wide receiver Greg Jennings.
March 14, 2013 Anyone who watched Joe Webb in the Vikings playoff game against the Green Bay Packers will be relieved to hear that they have signed a quarterback who can actually complete a forward pass. Multiple sources are confirming that the Vikings have signed Matt Cassel, who was released by the by Kansas City Chiefs.
March 12, 2013 While the Miami Dolphins got the biggest catch of the free agents by signing WR Mike Wallace, the Minnesota Vikings managed to keep some of their free agents today. The Chicago Bears had interest in offensive lineman Phil Loadholt, but the Vikings signed him to a multi-year deal.
March 6, 2013 The NFL Draft is next month and while free agency moves will impact who teams select in the first couple of rounds, that didn't stop ESPN's Todd McShay from doing an all new mock draft.
February 16, 2013 Another year, another round of rumors about Percy Harvin being on the trading block and not wanting to be a Minnesota Viking any longer. The Vikings front office hasn't done much to address those rumors in the past, but that changed Friday.
February 14, 2013 There were a lot of rumors earlier Wednesday that the Minnesota Vikings had officially offered head coach Leslie Frazier a contract extension. While those rumors proved to be false, the Vikings did make a move that gives a vote of confidence to the coach.
February 7, 2013 Rebuilt knee? No problem! Abdominal injury in December that was bad enough to require surgery? Just give him the ball! Adrian Peterson's amazing season now seems even more improbable as the team announced that he did need surgery to help a sports hernia.
