If the stadium can "get" this together it's going to be amazing.

The only thing I don't like about it is they are changing it to "SKOL" instead of "HUH" when they clap their hands. I don't think it will have the same effect.

Everson Griffen was fined $18,231 for his late shove on Marcus Mariota, which negated a Harrison Smith interception. #Vikings
That's BS for that little shove! There certainly was no intent to hurt him.
Roger is ruining the game.

I think the fine is for pure stupidity. I Would have fined him way mroe for that crap.

The 18231 I believe is the minimum fine amount for that penalty this year. He couldn't have been fined less and was an automatic fine

The ugliest moment from the Rams' Monday night shutout loss to the 49ers came when Aaron Donald lost his cool and was ejected.

The NFL has responded in kind, fining Donald twice for his outburst in the 28-0 defeat in Santa Clara. Donald was fined $9,115 for unnecessary roughness and $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, according to a source with knowledge of the fines.

And that was a whole lot worse than Griffen's

I think it will make it better.

Isn't that that team chant of the icelandic figure skating team or something?

Sorry, wasn't very clear there. Roughing the passer is minimum 18231, it will be just over 36K on the second offense. All the various penalties have minimums. Aaron Donald's penalties were different ones than roughing the passer.

Haven't seen this posted yet. Bradford reported to start on Sunday. I know most of you predicted it.

Bradford will be the starting quarterback Sunday against Green Bay, multiple sources told Arif Hasan of ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities.

I don't trust Hasan. I Am still not convinced Bradford will be the starter, but I would not be surprised if he is.

Hideous.

@PFF_Steve Vikings QB Sam Bradford averaged 2.4 seconds per dropback, 5th-fastest in the NFL.

Still pressured 48.6% of his dropbacks, highest in NFL

Stefon Diggs wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. My story from today about how he's developing: es.pn/2d8yj3N

Hideous.

He needs to learn he can't sit at the top of his drop with this team.

@christomasson Alex Boone was walking around after game said he was told not to comment on his hip injury

[dead_poet]

@christomasson Zimmer says I think our team believes no one else believes

@christomasson Zimmer I think defensively they believe they can win in any situation

@christomasson Zimmer says Alex Boone MRI tomorrow on hip

Conjuring Jared Allen...

@christomasson Zimmer said everson griffen never takes a play off
