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

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

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.

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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"

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,

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
