AHHHHHHH! (in true Macaulay Culkin ‘Home Alone’ fashion). The Minnesota Vikings Roster is changing at a rapid pace. I am not sure I want to list all of the changes so here are just a few that I care about (after all it’s my blog...and yes, I know it is Thursday - but it's so early in the morning, it might as well be Wednesday).
Matt Birk – gone to the Baltimore Ravens, signed a 3 year deal. We will miss his steady hands at center especially since we have so much turmoil at the QB position. Personally, I don’t like him, I think he has a stinky attitude, so good riddance.
“The Minnesota Vikings thank Matt for all he did for the organization both on and off the field over the past 11 years. Matt has done a great job and we wanted him to return to the Vikings in ’09, but at this point Matt wanted a change of scenery. We wish him the best and know that he will always be a part of the Vikings family. We look forward to playing Matt this upcoming season at the Metrodome.”
Vinny Ciurciu – gone. I had high hopes for Vinny even if it was just because I liked his name.
Darren Sharper – will probably be gone soon, which means I am going to need to buy a new Vikings jersey this year. Who will I buy? That’s a topic for another blog post.
Jim Kleinsasser – here. The Vikings resigned him. Duh.
“We wanted him back and we’re glad he took time out from ice fishing to come in and sign his contract. Jim’s an important part of our offense and the kind of guy you want in your locker room.”
T.O. - a Vike? Maybe. Cowboys let him go and we need a receiver. It could be another “Randy Moss” in a Vikings jersey episode. I bet the Minneapolis meter maids are shaking in their boots at the thought of Terrell Owens in town.
