So Coach Zimmer said Sam reaggravated his injury in the game. He also said that the staff said he was ready to go and he thought it was best to take him out. He said Sam didn't want to come out. Did you peeps listen? 

Lived to fight another game...

Scrappy outing by the team. I had us beating Detroit and losing @ Chicago, but what do I know?

... looks like he doesn't even want to play.  I'd yank his ass out of there if he doesn't get out of this funk.

If you thought I meant anything good, well, think again.
I've been lurking here for the past 2 weeks watching the festivities.  I will be going to Minnesota with my wife Friday. What I hope not to bring is my illness.
For the past 2 weeks I have been pretty damn sick. I don't know what it is whether viral, bacterial or what.  Finally broke down and went to the doctor today. Got on antibiotics and anti-diahria medicine, which I had already had been on the later but with no success.
The reason I'm telling everyone this is just to let everyone know if you get it, please go to the Dr. ASAP.
I didn't do it and besides laying around for the past 2 weeks and not having the energy to do anything, I haven't eaten much in the past 2 weeks and became dehydrated. I lost 25 lbs. Forced myself to rehydrate with Gatorade yesterday. After rehydrating and weighing at the Dr this morning, I've lost about 15lbs.
I kept thinking it was a virus and it would go away after a few days, but it didn't and when it gave me a reprieve for a day, getting mobile again it came right back with a vengeance. 
It started by feeling exhausted and extremely tired with no energy or strength followed by sweating and then a fever. It was all downhill from there. Then the other stuff came. A trip to the toilet almost every 10-15 minutes constant even in the middle of the night. Upset stomach with no appetite for anything and even if I could eat,  it didn't stay down. Lack of sleep because of these symptoms and exhaustion. Didn't even feel like drinking anything.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with my description of the illness, it was not my attempt to do so. Rather just to warn everyone to not treat this lightly, it's been a rough 2 weeks. I had no choice but to go to the Dr today because I was told I'd better not bring it to Minnesota with me or i couldn't come at all. Lol
Anyway, don't take it lightly or just think it is a virus. Get to the Dr ASAP, PLEASE.
I hope I'm able to make the trip Friday.
We will break the jinx tonight!!!

I know most great QBs covet and flourish when they have a strong running game.  However, we see franchise QBs like Rodgers and Brady lead teams without any star RBs.  Is Sam cut from that same kind of cloth?  I don't even know who the RBs are for GB and the Pats, but those teams certainly score points. 

Sam as the lone leader didn't work very well last year, but we now have a better Oline.  I guess we'll find out how broad Sam's shoulders are as he attempts to carry this team.

Good luck, Sam - Go get 'em!

Go Vikes!

Stevan Ridley - RB - Free Agent


Vikings released RB Stevan Ridley.

Ridley made it four days on the 53-man roster. He's been cut loose to make room for WR Michael Floyd, who is coming off suspension. Ridley has notched 39 carries since the end of the 2014 season.

The Vikings are undefeated playing on this day.  http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Vi...a81e59d405

Pause, for a moment, if you’re inclined to think Michael Floyd will fail with the Vikings in what might be his last shot to reboot his NFL career, and consider the people who seem determined not to let him.
His mother will be in the Soldier Field stands on Monday night with her brother and nieces, praying for Floyd and corresponding with the 10 or so women in St. Paul she has praying for him every day.
“I don’t think he realizes,” Theresa Romero said. “Nobody actually realizes how many people are actually praying for you. He won’t know that until down a long ways.”
