Matt Birk, Matt Birk, Matt Birk

Matt Birk is all the talk around town these days as he is opting out of the optional Vikings activities. Birk is considered one of the top five centers in the NFL and is on his final contract year with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have yet to make an extension offer to Birk and his displeasure with management is not hidden. Perhaps you could say Matt Birk wears his heart on his sleeve…or his jersey, per se. It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next few months regarding Birks status with the team. I know he is a local guy and a bit of a local celebrity, but Vikings Vixen doesn’t have any sort of love affair with the guy. In fact, I find him a bit abrasive and self-conceited, not a representation of Minnesota nice.
