Actually, that's $531 a year per person. $702.3 mil a year. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405...3963779182.html Even larger. Of course, that's not actual money.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Dear Knightni: Solve our $6.2 billion (and growing) budget deficit and we'll take care of the Vikings. Sincerely; the Minnesota state legislature. Dear Legislature: Have Al Franken convince Congress to send the state grant money. If he does the Stuart Smalley bit, even Boehner will cry and give in. Plus, the Vikings have a value of $531mil per year to the state.

Dear Minnesota legislature: Option #1 - Expand TCF stadium, update the field for heating, add luxury boxes, relax the alcohol ban for pro sports there. Option #2 - Build a new stadium for the Vikings that will cost twice as much. Option #3 - INTRODUCING, YOUUUUR L.A. VIKINGS!!!!

While Buddy Bell was helping to build all of our farms.

They might be able to get a waiver if the price was right.

With hopes that some sanity could possibly be there.

He get a tapeworm?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) Why would they, theyre fighting for the 2 spot and a first round bye. QUOTE (The Gooch @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) UM NO...They still have a first round bye to fight for I thought about that after I posted it.

I wonder if they'll rest Cutler next week.

Wow, JaMarcus Webb is similar to Flozell Adams?

I'm as much of a Bears fan as the next guy, but man...Gruden is sure sucking Cutler off tonight.

...taking a look at my sad tree

I might go. I don't really drink much, so I'm not likely to be in the -athon part of the event. You could still come, Ace.

If Greg Jennings does nothing tonight for my opponent, I will be relying on Cutler to succeed tomorrow in order to go to the championship game next week.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) I'd be cool with that. I still want Fuentes as the third (or second depending on Sale starting) lefty in the pen. As long as he's not closer, he'd be good. Romero's walk/IP sucks vs RHP but he's fairly decent against LHP. I'm afraid that he'd want more than LOOGy money, though.

It wasn't a Manning.

Three. Hundred. Yards. FOUR. Touchdowns.

What about JC Romero?

Jeremy Affeldt would have been a perfect next reliever to sign, IMO. To bad SF extended him. What about JC Romero? I know that he was PED in '09 but he's been clean since.

Jax had a shady non-fair catch signal that resulted in a punt return TD. I think it could become a staple of punt returners to fool defenses until the NFL tweaks the rules again.

I changed the title so it sounds more official.
