December 12th, 2010 the historic Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome collapses under 17.1 inches of snow. The picture perfectly summarizes the position of the franchise at the time. A combination of high hopes, terrible let downs and an outdated quarterback and stadium resulted in disappointment being cast throughout the twin cities. While the collapse marked the […]
After nine seasons in Minnesota, the Vikings released wide receiver Adam Thielen on March 10. Thielen, who they signed as an undrafted free agent in 2013, signed with the Carolina Panthers on a three year contract nine days later.

While plenty of moves are still to come, let’s […]
The free agency window is officially open, and deals are being signed left and right. While Green Bay and the Jets wait impatiently for Aaron Rodgers to make a decision, the Bears are beefing up their defense and offensive line with signings such as LB Tremaine Edmunds and OG Nate Davis.
