Macca 17,127 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Vikings have released images of the plans for the new stadium. It has a glass ceiling. If it collapses like the metrodome did it could bloody hurt. I don't know why they didn't make it a open stadium. I've seen the old days before the metrodome where players said it is nigh impossible for opposition players to get used to Minnesota conditions. Here are the images ... looks cool and all very 21st Century! ... Vikings new stadium Quote
cowboy_from_hell 2,390 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) The building is ugly I reckon. As long as AP is in it I don't care. But it does kinda look like something the transformers would live in. Edited May 14, 2013 by cowboy_from_hell 2 Quote
Strafford 182 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Vikings have released images of the plans for the new stadium. It has a glass ceiling.

I've seen the old days before the metrodome where players said it is nigh impossible for opposition players to get used to Minnesota conditions. The purple people eaters would be handy about now. I reckon it is about the fans, especially if the move to change the blackout rule gets up. Edited May 14, 2013 by Strafford 1 Quote
Strafford 182 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 What's this change Stafford? John McCain has moved a bill whereby teams with stadiums built with public money will not be able to exercise the TV blackout rule. Not sure if it will get up, as the NFL and the owners have pretty powerful lobby groups. Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Hmmmm interesting. Wonder how is will play out. Quote

Macca 17,127 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Ha. Go tiger cats?.... Apparently this is what they might be talking about. Not sure I'd 'pet' it. Gruesome little creature ... Tell you what though, if the CFL was on cable, I'd probably be watching :-) Central American Tiger-Cat 1 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I'd watch it too. I like the blue bombers uniform, similar to the Rams. Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Can't keep him out of the news ... ... Sources: Pats to sign Tim Tebow Patriots coach Bill Belichick often has spoken with admiration for Tebow's versatility, intelligence and character. Belichick covets what he has described as tough, smart, versatile football players. Tebow, 25, figures to compete with Ryan Mallett for a backup job behind Brady. The Patriots also released reserve quarterback Mike Kafka on Monday. Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Wow, did not see that one coming. Tebow a pat! Quote
cowboy_from_hell 2,390 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Tebow a pat is odd who is the pats back up QB? I read that former high draft pick Jamarcus Russell is trying out with a couple of teams as well. Quote
Strafford 182 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Probably a good fit for Tebow. There isn't any doubt who the starting QB is so his legion of fans can't agitate to make him the no 1. If he is as good a locker room guy as most say he is then why not I guess. On my Bengals front. Our big boy right tackle Smith has scored his new contract and gone awol with private issues. The guy loves a feed so we may need to start moving him around with a forklift once he turns up. 1 Quote
Strafford 182 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 The Bengals off season curse has struck again. Adam "Pacman" Jones has been involved in another incident in a career packed with them. He claims a woman threw a bottle at him in a night club and he then slapped her. Camera footage seems to show him hitting the woman after she poured a drink on him. Lovely. Just when we have signed up for the show Hard Knocks again. I'm sure the film makers are loving it....sigh. Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Sure bengals don't wear red and blue? 2 Quote
Strafford 182 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Sure bengals don't wear red and blue? To be brutally honest the number of stuffups from the Bengals in regards to admin, drafting, supporter relations, off-field player dramas etc etc over the years actually makes the Dees look good in comparison. Hopefully for the Bengals our improvements in a number of areas fairly recently can overcome this latest setback. Recruiting Adam Jones was pure idiocy given his track record before he came to us and a huge risk regardless of his guilt or innocence in this matter. He may have learned to hide his spots a bit better, but in my view the guy was and still is a psycho. 1 Quote
cowboy_from_hell 2,390 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Vikings sign a free agent middle linebacker from guess where? Green bay. Bishop signed for one year. Read a good comment when someone asked what do you call a Viking with a superbowl ring? A former Packer. 3 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Tony Kornheiser seems convinced that Tim Tebow will be used by the Patriots as a tight end. Given the events of the last few weeks, they might have to! 2 Quote

Given the events of the last few weeks, they might have to! And Brady will throw him a pass right down the middle to get him cleaned up and knocked out in the first pre season game. That will sort out any "Tebowmania" 3 Quote
DeeSpencer 26,681 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1207435/5/index.htm This article about the Raiders - which in turn reportedly cause the son of the legend Mark Davis to sack his own PR guy - highlights the dysfunctional nature of the team and you can see a lot of similarities to our problems. I'm not sure though if Reggie McKenze is the Mark Neeld coming in and making things worse or the Peter Jackson who has come in to make things better. And maybe Hue Jackson was the Mark Neeld and Carson Palmer can star as David Rodan, 1 Quote
