And wrongly so, if you ask me. They MN legislature doesn't deal with Frasier, McKinnie, or any of the players in the locker room. They deal with Lester Bagley and the Wilfs.

What the Vikings do on the field and in the locker room will have very little, if any, to do with how the legislature handles the stadium issue.

But it wouldn't be a Flori-tool article if he didn't throw in something about the stadium.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Zygi and his brothers should just pony up all the dough, go to Arden Hills, and buy up all the surrounding land for their own prosperity. But if done, it won't be as fun as it is now being downtown.

Certainly you don't believe he was their best lineman. I've seen your posts, and I know you aren't THAT stupid as to actually believe that.

Fans are the people that purchase and use season tickets, year in and year out.

Despite how the Vikings play, those people will STILL be a force to reckon with when it comes to the legislators and their douchiness. There have been at least ONE very viable option to pay for the stadium that doesn't include taxpayer money that these gutless wonders running the state's government have refused to back on some imaginary 'personal principles'. The plan is called Racino.

You and I agree on one thing though.. Zygi and Co. totally should buy up the Arden Hills lot. Then watch the state freak out when they (the state) has to revamp 35W/hwy10/hwy96 on their own.

Bryant McKinnie Trolling For Work

Shortly after the Minnesota Vikings pulled the plug on Bryant McKinnie, the veteran left tackle tweeted that he would be making a return in 2012.

Since, he’s clarified that point and made it clear he’d like to play this season. Now, his agent Drew Rosenhaus is shopping him to the league. According to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network, Rosenhaus sent an email to all 32 teams informing them McKinnie is looking for work and he’s willing to play for $2.5 million this season. He’d also like “reasonable incentives.”

McKinnie was set to earn about double that from the Vikings before he refused to take a pay cut and was released.

How soon McKinnie finds a taker remains to be seen. He weighed near 400 pounds when the Vikings cut him loose and his cholesterol measured near 400, as well, according to multiple NFL sources. In that kind of shape, no one is going to touch him.
