I really enjoyed his insight in the game.  Much better than some of the commentators we normally get.

Fox has their Romo.  Kid has a future in the booth.

hopefully he was not able to get any usable intel on the Vikings for when they play the Panthers.  :p

He was pretty good, doubt he got any intel that he couldn't have seen anyway.

That was my concern. I was like why is he allowed to do this before they play us.

I wanted to dislike him, but he did a very good job.

F@ck Greg Olsen, he certainly whined about being challenged by Spielman.  its cool, fox can pay for Bradford to attend a Carolina game and give him a staff assistant to pull data, seems fair to me

I wound up being glad he was there just to keep Davis and the other tool from blathering Rams Rams Rams for 3 hours... it was obvious as hell who those two were rooting for.  Who's have thought our future opponent would be the impartial one?

Wow they all just were bending over backwards trying to make this game about the rams.  Until it was 20-7 then all of a sudden they asked, "Are the Vikings for real?"  What a lame booth,  I did like Olsen though.

Yeah I was getting so sick of the Rams this and Rams that.  Oh they need to do this, then the well this defense is pretty good, but the rams...  Olson though I thought he did a good job overall though and was more about what was actually happening.

I hated the idea of having Olson in the booth, but I'll admit he did pretty well with it all.  It just seems shady, having an active player call an opponents game.  That needs to be addressed

Olsen started off like he was on meth with a triple latte. It was like a gusher of blathering, but I think someone got in his ear and told him to back it off a bit, and he did, calm down a little as the game went on. The information, and insight was pretty good once it wasn't coming at you like it was out of a fire hose.

There is no way an active players should be in the booth period.

I think he will put fear in his teammates with tales of the Vikings wrath he witnessed first hand !

well...if nothing else, he knows how to pronounce all our player's names ( including the defensive third stringers ;)

well the league can't have 2 shit teams in LA, just think of the major media markets of LA, NY, and Chi and the cream of the crop is the NYJets?  The Rams have to get good press and promote the hell out of them to that market.

Bwaahhaaahhh

I think the Vikings are getting plenty of credit nationally, we need to stop being so sensitive as fans. I think when its all said and done, Minnesota will be a #3 seed and winners of the NFCN.....worst case scenario a #4 seed top wild card. The NFC is just so packed with strong teams.
