Viking's "D" receives massive upgrade!

All I can say is wow!

The Vike's have catapulted their defense from bottom 5, to top 10- maybe even top 5.

Wow!

They've signed Pat Williams DT, Fred Smoot, and Darren Sharper in the past week, wow!

Do you realize that with Antoine Winfield, Cory Chavous, Sharper, and now Smoot, we have 4 All-Pros on the field in our secondary?

This may be the best off-season the Vikes have ever had, and they may not be done yet.

They now have 2 #1 draft picks, which they may make a trade for.

We need a linebacker and a wide receiver, but they may yet sign Plaxico Burress because he and his greedy agent turned down a huge contract, the likes of which he will not see again, from the Giants. He fired that agent today.

He's got talent, but it appears his ego is twice as large as his brain, so maybe we don't really need him after all.

We did get Napoleon Harris (LB) from the Moss Trade, so basically he replaces the erstwhile Chris Claiborne.

My thinking is this, if they don't sign a receiver, draft the kid from USC at receicer, then trade the 2nd #1 for another linebacker so you avoid the huge bonus a #1 pick demands.

If they do sign a receiver, then draft a linebacker.

So, on paper anyway, the Vikes have put together a very formidable squad.

The question now is, who's gonna coach it?

We've upgraded from a Yugo to a Caddy, but do we trust the state's biggest ticket scalper with the keys?

I've been defending Mike Tice for years, I don't know that I can do it anymore. I have no respect for a guy making over $500k per year who risks it all to make a couple grand on a ticket scapling scheme.

It shows terrible judgement.

If he needed cash to make ends meet, he should have borrowed the money from Latrine Sprewell.
