Vikings spent the dough, let’s hope it pays off

A lot of Vikings fans are picking the Minnesota Vikings to finish at the top of NFC North and by the sounds of all the Vikings mania in the Twin Cities, some fans have already bought their Super Bowl tickets! Don’t get me wrong, I am excited for the Minnesota Vikings season to start as well mostly because the Vikes took significant steps to improve their roster this year with the addition of Jared Allen, receiver Bernard Berrian and safety Madieu Williams — those three alone have been guaranteed $60 million, but the fact remains that it’s June and the most strenuous activity this team has gone through was the just-completed minicamp. Let’s wait until the regular season starts before we determine if the Minnesota Vikings investment pays off.
