Butthurt in Joisey

[StickyBun]

These really crack me up. Anyone have any Kleenex? Pretty obvious the East Coast sports media isn't used to getting owned by the hayseeds in the Midwest, lol.

Hey NY, Not everyone wants to live / work / raise a family in an outhouse.

I dont think the Jets got duped
I think Cousins' agent is masterful
I think Kirk being a Michigan kid felt pretty much at home back in the midwest. MN great place to raise family 
Vikings are legacy franchise, best facilities, great ownership, good coaching - maybe great between DeF/Zimmer

with all the new genders up there....do they all even have butt holes to be hurt?

NY/NJ media:  "must be sour grapes"

When a guy takes less money to play somewhere else other than the Jets, it's an indictment against the Jets. Not the Vikings or the player.  

And it ain't taxes - he is paying 300k more in minnesota.  and it ain't weather.

“Two things I kept saying to Kirk,” McCartney said, via the Pioneer Press. “Money is important. Contract is important. But I want you on a daily basis to jump out of bed excited to go to work, to go into a building that has a great culture and a chance to win. But at the same token, at the end of the day, I want you to get excited to go home where your wife and family are flourishing and if we can find both of those I think we’ve done our job.”

This quote was in all the articles. It seems to sum up his decision making process. I had to laugh at the one attacking the juicy Lucy and MOA and talking about how Kirk will be welcomed by New York (or rather the armpit of America aka New Jersey) now. It just goes to show they hate rejection but can't even attempt to be classy about it lol.

I agree.  In past years, it was a struggle for the Vikings to compete with other teams for tier 1 FAs.  They really had to sell it hard, especially with playing in the frumpy dome when other teams would have beautiful outdoor facilities.

That's all changed now, and FAs actually are putting the Vikes at the top of their list.  Cousins to Minnesota seemed to be the fit everyone expected back in January/February.  Getting Richardson is also proof that coming to Minny is a way easier sell now too.

Great facilities, front office, coaches, and winning seasons has really upgraded the image of this team.

Is that right considering he will be paying michigan taxes and not minnesota?
