My semi-uninformed guess is that the Vikings will end up moving.

Sounds like the worthless goons in St. Paul only are willing to 'renovate' the Dump in order to appease the Vikings stadium needs. Awesome, just what the fanbase needs.. Another 2nd rate, built on the cheap Dump to attend 8+ days a season. The whole reason we are even HAVING this discussion is because the state built a shiny new stadium on the cheap in the first place. If they just did serious renovations to the Met, there is no issue.

That said, if that's the only viable option in the state's eyes (the re-Dump option), I'm all for the Vikings moving. And as weird as it is for me to admit this, I've always said I was a MINNESOTA Viking fan, with emphasis on MINNESOTA, I will continue to be the LA/Anaheim/Industrial Viking fan (or whatever mascot they may change to).

And if that does happen.. I will be the first in line to point and laugh at all the anti-Viking supporters when the NFL eventually comes back to MN and the state ends up paying hundreds of Millions of dollars for a new stadium for the new team.

I said a year ago that politics would befoul the whole situation and the ownership (current or new) would be forced to head to LA LA Land and work on their tans.

The team formerly known as the Vikings will end up in the NFC Coco Butter Division (West) while the once was LA Rams will end up in the NFC Norris (North).

Last information I heard was that the only site the state will have a session about is the Dome site. The Vikings, rightfully so, are not very happy about it. Don't be surprised to hear relocation news by the Feb 15th deadline.

I've told you this before, Formo. I'd hate to see you guys move, especially to LA. I like the old NFC Central/North battles between us, you, da Bears, and the Lions. It's a long history, and one that has so far lasted my lifetime. We had the Bucs with us for awhile too but they never felt like one of us. They had no business being in our division.

As for LA, most fairweather fans out there. All Al Davis accomplished by moving to LA is get gang bangers to like the Raiders. For a long time, Raider fans were associated with low lives. It took a long time for the Bay Area to forgive Davis for that move.

The LA Vikings sounds horrible. Maybe change your name to the LA Rollerskaters, or the LA Fairweathers, or the LA Plastic People. Yes, SF people don't like LA people. They suck. They're fake. And they don't know sports one bit.

Find yourself a Lakers fan and start discussing who is on the bench for the Lakers and they'd give you a deer in the headlights stare. That's how LA "fans" are. At least they'd be able to name Kobe. Maybe one other player.

There's a movie called "Clueless" that pretty much defines that town. Or "Beverly Hills 90210." Those will be the future Vikings fans.

Yuck. :-&
Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

Why do you think he'd never be a Packers fan? He might be happy. He wouldn't know what to do.

Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
