Sports Quotables Remix
By Viking Visionary | June 23, 2009
OK, I know everyone in Viking Land is sniffin’ around for the smallest nugget of Favre news like it were crack, but I still just can’t pay too much attention until it really pops.
That said, we are now in one of those black hole time periods for NFL news. So, instead of making news where there is none, here is some entertainment for the sporting fan.
This video is a very… creative compilation of some of the funniest outtakes in sport history. Nod to Rob Vance for sending this my way.

Jared Allen Hunts for Red Meat
By Viking Visionary | June 16, 2009
Jared Allen might be hands down the coolest (and craziest) player in the NFL. Check out this video of him hunting an Elk with a spear. I love how he explains that this is a part of his preparation for the upcoming season - so he can get his red meat and hit the weights.
How lucky are we to have this guy on our team?!

Computer Predicts Vikings to Dominate NFC North
By Viking Visionary | June 16, 2009
Well Vikings fans, here is yet another reason to be confident in this year’s team. What If Sports puts out annual predictions for season outcomes based on hundreds of simulated seasons by their advanced software, the most scientific and unbiased prediction method out there. Today they released their forecast for the NFC North, and the results predict very good things for the Purple (not to mention a dreary outlook for the Packers, which is just as enjoyable).
They predict the Vikings will finish 11-5, and had this to say about our team:
Brett Favre is not on the Minnesota Vikings. It doesn’t matter. The Vikings win the division by three games and are favored in all but one game. The Vikings average 25.3 points per game (#2 in the NFL) and allow 18.6 points (#7) against a schedule featuring five games against teams who made the playoffs in 2008.
They love Percy Harvin almost as much as we do, and they think our running game is so good that it hardly matters who lines up under center. Click here for the full write up, complete with projected fantasy stats, a look at each game of the season, and a deliciously horrible outlook for the cheeseheads.
To get a feel for just how dominate they think we will be, pay particular attention to the % of times they say we win if we played each opponent 100 times. You will dig it.
Based on these predictions, how much better do you think we would be with Brett Favre instead of T-Jack or Sage?
