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

 

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.

Here are some more images of the new vikings stadium.

Only 11 days to go!

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,

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
