Done Moving

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Purple : One Thread

Well I finally finished moving, now I can talk some Vikings again.

Draft is six and a half days away, I have my fingers crossed that Denny doesn't pull a Denny this year and draft some guy who isn't even listed in any of my draft mags with our first round pick. I hear he has his eye on some equipment manager from the University of South Central Siam.

I'm still sticking by Gary Baxter CB/S Baylor as my preferred guy. He may be considered a bit of a reach at #27 but he will definetely be gone by our second round selection. He has the size we want in a CB and an ability to swith to S if he can't grasp our Zone. Apparently Will Allen has soared with Viking management, so look for him to be selected (He does run a sub 4.4 40) if Clemons and Fletcher are gone.

The chance to get the TEZ is driving me up the wall. Sign the guy already, Fred Robbins or Fernando Smith are not the answer at NT, without a NT we are once again doomed. How can we spend $$$ on Johnstone and F. Smith with Kennedy wanting to come aboard, then cry poverty and low ball the man. This is maddening. Someone please kidnap Denny, anyone have the number for those cats that nabbed Darryl Stawberry?

If Ricky Watters is available for a fourth, we have to pull that trigger. The man is old, and used up, but he still churns out production whenever called upon. Moe has the stuff but he is too injury prone and Chapman is just too much of an unknown to don the cleats of Smith. Of course so was Daunte. Behind Moe and Chapman we have no one, zero, zip, zilch. Hooooooorrrrrrible. Is Scottie Graham still alive?

Vikes released HB Marvin Welch, WR Jeremey Earp, TE Giles Coles and CB Some Guy last week. I say good.

Now let's get to the important stuff.

Why did the Vikings hire Richard Solomons son in law to head up the game film department? Man, I can just see it now. The whole team sitting in the film room ready to review the tapes of the Bears game, and on the big screen comes "Queer as Folk" episodes or Richard Simmons "Sweating to the oldies in the nude." Don't we already have enough nepotism with the whole Troy Walters situation? Come on, this is rediculous.

Well, Happy Easter to everyone except for Ralph, I hope your easter sucks.

My bet is that either Solomon has something on Green, or Green really is that stupid. Not sure which!

A vote for both.

Thanks IZ for the heartwarming thoughts you young punk ass mother f@#$er! :) And I hope everyone else enjoyed the Easter Holiday too! I have to agree and wonder why the Vikings aren't trying harder to fill some of the holes that they've made. Though I've read Kennedy might be a little too large and slow for the job I think we could use a body in the middle myself and I'm not talking about Wong chasing someone! As far as Watters goes I think he would fit in nice again I heard that he might be a bit of a fumbler, But we're not sure that Moe or Chapman are any better when it comes to holding on to the ball at least Watters has experience. Hey IZ I think we should get together with Kevan and Mike and have a few cold ones as we watch Denny work his magic!

Thanks for the invite Ralph old buddy, old pal. I won't be able to make it unfortunately.

As far as Denny's magic... the only magic 'His Fatness' amazes me with is how he continues to survive. But I'm sure we'll bask in the warmth of his brilliance come fall.

PS- Is IZ really a 'punk ass'? He was looking at me a little funny in the head at the last game, but geez, I never knew.
