Joe Buck is the worst Packers mark in sports. He doesn't even try to hide it.

A guy making 15 million a year and then stiffing a hometown bar? Now that is disgusting.

Just to be clear: in your mind, the drunk #### Packer fans that would always throw #### at the Vikings' bus and mooned the bus on the way out of town have the utmost class? Makes sense.[/quote]
Boohoohoo big mean Packer fans always picking on Vikings fans.....

Dude, get real, you think Vikings fans never did anything like this to the Packers bus?[/quote]

Ive never posted an excess of 2000 posts on a message board before, does that answer your question?

@Packers fan:
This year is going to be tough for the entire North, you seem to think GB is playing in the AFC East in place of the pats or something. The North is cold and full of fight.
My guide to being a Vikings fan:
Step 1.) Drink beer.
Step 2.) See step 1.

Once again, could the service have been a problem? Or is that just too unrealistic? Not that it should matter that much anyways, Id be careful about throwing the word "disgusting" around willy nilly if I were you. 'cough' October 6th, 2005 'cough'

*cough* Get over it. *cough* :lol:

Literally, I had to look up what the date meant to the Vikings. It's not even close to significant in my mind. I thought it then--and I think it now, time to get over it and move on. I imagine this kind of thing happens all of the time. The Vikings just happened to get caught. For a stupid reason too, I might add. Oh well.

After reading through it though, I want to know who was involved with the "man on man". :D I'm curious now. And I'll never know...thanks!

Either way, that was forever ago. Literally, forever ago. Move on. Please.

Vikings Led A Lot In 2012: http://www.dailynorseman.com/2013/6/10/ ... ot-in-2012

" A site called Football Perspective took a look at which teams in the National Football League spent the most time leading, trailing, and with the score tied over the course of the 2012 season. The team that spent the most time in the lead was not surprising. . .it was the New England Patriots, who spent 65.2% of all the time they played in the 2012 regular season with a bigger score than their opponents.The team that found themselves in second place in that category was surprising. . .it was our favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings."
Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

Hmmmm....

Desmond Bishop - LB - Free Agent

Packers released ILB Desmond Bishop.

The sides couldn't agree to a contract restructure, so 28-year-old Bishop will hit free agency as one of the top players available. Assuming his right hamstring checks out medically -- and it was severely injured last year -- Bishop would make an awful lot of sense reuniting with Chiefs rookie GM John Dorsey in Kansas City. A high-impact player when healthy, Bishop racked up 115 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles in 13 starts in 2011, before missing all of 2012. He'd be a big upgrade on Nico Johnson and Akeem Jordan next to Derrick Johnson.

I saw that too. I say why not, assuming he is healthy.

Depends on if the Vikings think they have enough adequate competition for the role and if they feel Bishop fits their scheme. Might take snaps away from younger guys they see have potential. Just looking at it from another angle. I think if they can get him on the cheap he'd be good to have around (likely much better talent than, say, Larry Dean).

Here we go... RT @WesHod: If Bishop clears waivers, the fifth-year linebacker's first visit is expected to be with the #Vikings

Desmond Bishop had 2 years left on 4-year extension signed Jan 11. $3.464M base salary + $300K in per-game roster bonuses in '13 if claimed.
EDIT:
Duh. Got my head twisted by another tweet. Bishop has four years' service, so he's a street free agent upon release.
They'll look. Not sure it's an ideal schematic fit. RT @Kasen_SNN: @TomPelissero think the Vikes will take a look at Desmond Bishop?

‏As has been speculated on here already, source says look out for Minnesota to make a strong run at Bishop, league source says.
