Turkey Day Boredum
So I sat on my ass yesterday, pigged out like a glutton, and watched three terrible football games. Every year we see Detroit get romped, and their fans are booing midway through the first quarter. (I was laughing out loud to myself when Dante threw the INT to the defensive lineman.) Is it time to do away with the traditional Detriot and Dallas games and have a "flex" schedule that they decide 3 weeks before Thanksgiving to decide who plays? Or is there too much going on during turkey day that the football games are just background noise? Post your comments.

Jacksonville...not a tough guy town.
The Williams Boys are Comin' - 2.5 sacks combined between the two of them (and we may not have many more opportunities to celebrate their contributions to the team).
Squnts is getting called out...again
Does anyone remember a while back when I said Donovan McNabb sucks and everyone (Squints) hated on me for it. Well HA!!! What do you think of me now bitches!
Last 2 games: 1 TD, 5 INTs, 2 Fumbles, 47% completion. And he was just benched today for some guy nobody, including his own team has ever heard of. Good call Squints, McNabb is definately 'great'.
And lets not forget these last two games were against Cincinatti and their 9 losses and Baltimore and their banged up secondary.
What do you have to say for yourself Mr. know-it-all sports reporter? Looks like RedDawg isn't so REDiculous after all.

Vikes offseason moves revisited
Its looking more and more like the Vikings won't be firing Chili anytime this season...
With that said, who should they go after for head coach and for quarterback during the offseason?
Looks like Warner, Matt Cassel and Derek Anderson might be available through a trade or free agency. Assuming Brady Quinn holds on to the starting job in Cleveland, I think Anderson is a terrific fit with the Vikings. KillahCraig also had an interesting idea with Michael Vick.
Head coach, I'd love to see Bill Cowher in Minnesota.

SHOOTOUT!
No, I'm not talking hockey. However, if there is a game to introduce somebody to college football, its gonna be on Saturday night. Nearly 80,000 cheering on two teams that will probably put over a hundred total points on the board. Plus this game isn't for any trophy or championship. We play to win the game.

Duke it out?
Troy "couldn't catcha cold" Williamson has challenged Brad "my only mistake is this mustache" Childress to a fight at the 50 yard line. Who would win? Williamson does have stone hands. Will Williams have a catch this Sunday? Did anyone know Willamson was still in the league?

Great News for Vikings Fans
Artis Hicks will replace Ryan Cook (aka Todd Steussie) at right tackle. The referee says Cook's number at least 2 times a game, and the announcers say his name at least twice more for allowing a sack.
On another note, how much money have Vikings players donated to charity this year due to fines? We have to be approaching 1 mil.

Anyone else liking the NBA?
They're still not playing defense. They're still traveling. But I'm liking it.
Everyone rips on the NBA. Everyone is waiting for college basketball to start cause kids try and defense is played, ya da ya da ya da.
It's about time it was cool to like the NBA. Cause I'm drinking the Kool-aid.

- You've got Boston and LA good again. Can the Celtics repeat? Can the Lakers improve with Andrew Bynum?
- You've got the Pistons. They got AI now.
- You've got Cleveland. They've got LeBron and the King's finally got someone to pass to (Mo Williams). And no, not the Moe Williams that was a third down back for the Vikings.
- You've got the Hornets and Chris Paul, who is maybe the second best player in the league right now.
- You've got Phoenix with The Big Aristotle, Steve Nash, Amare, Grant Hill, Raja.
- You've got Mark Cuban and Dirk in big D.
- You've got D-Wade, Chris Bosh, the young Blazers, the upstart Timberwolves and the New York Knicks (who haven't played Eddy Curry or Stephon Marbury this year).
That's a lot of interesting crap. And it's way sweeter in HD now too. You guys watching this stuff?
