Here are some recent articles and blog posts from around the web that you are probably going to want to read.
- Introducing The “Offseason Tracker” – VikingsGab has introduced a new feature called the Offseason Tracker to help us fans keep track of all the things going on between the Super Bowl and Preseason
- Special teams rankings – I love stats, and I love it when people break them down. The Dallas News did an article analyzing Special Teams statistics, and the Vikes ranked 9th! I didn’t see any stats from last year, but you have to think #9 is an improvement!
- Vikings Could Open Season With Saints Rematch – The Viking Age looks at a possible NFC Championship rematch to start the 2010 NFL Season

- Brett Favre thanks Vikings fans for past year but gives no hints about future on website – Yahoo Sports has an article from the Associated Press about Brett Favre thanking his fans for this past season, but not mentioning the future. I think to the optimists this will be taken as a message that Brett had fun and wants to do it again, to t…

- Tarvaris Jackson Blogs About His Future – Did you know Tarvaris Jackson had a blog? I didn’t. Apparently he forgets often, too, because he doesn’t write much. The Viking Age wanted to make sure we all knew, though, and they linked to his recent article about his feelings about being a Vik…
- Why Isn’t Cris Carter In The Hall of Fame Yet? – This is the “third annual” version of this article, which is a crime. How is it that the second greatest wide receiver of all time is not in the hall of fame 3 years after he first gained eligibility?!? I was going to write a post like th…

Percy Harvin to shine on Sunday?
I just read a good article at Vikings Gab entitled “Percy’s Legacy Continues On Sunday“, and I wanted to share it with any of you guys who don’t make a regular habit of reading that site.
In the article, the writer (Adam) points out that Percy will spend much of the day lined up against Orlando Scandrick, who has struggled a lot this year against good receivers.
Read the article… it’s nice to see some favorable news about the Vikings after reading everywhere else in the media about how the Cowboys are pretty much already NFL Champions by now!

I came across a cool article on Vikings War Cry yesterday that goes through some of the similarities between the Vikings 15-1 season in 1998 to this season.
The 1998 Vikings were quarterbacked most of the year by 35 year-old Randall Cunningham, who one year prior, was coaxed out of retirement by former Viking head coach, Dennis Green. Stunningly, Cunningham enjoyed the best season of his career despite having had a border line hall of fame career for a previous franchise that wears green, the Philadelphia Eagles. The 2009 Vikings are being quarterbacked by 40 year-old Brett Favre, who was coaxed out of retirement by current Viking coach, Brad Childress. Stunningly, Favre is enjoying the best season of his career despite having had a future hall of fame career for a previous franchise that wears green, the Green Bay Packers.
That’s just one of the things listed. There are a lot more

Hey Vikings fans
I met a guy last week on Facebook named Marcus Anderson. (aka Mookie). He runs a site that some of you, especially those of you in or near Minneapolis (or planning to be during home games) may really be interested in.
His main site is located at vikingstailgate.com. He also runs a blog for the site located at vikingstailgate.blogspot.com
Check out his site, check out his blog, and leave him a comment…. he’s been nice enough to post links to my music videos. Those of you who follow this site should swing by his and leave him a comment or two. Tell him that I sent ya! 
This may sound cheesy, but one of my favorite things about being a Vikings fan is the sense of “community” among the other fans. Every other Vikings webmaster/blogger that I’ve met have been awesome to talk to, and every Vikings fan that I’ve met since writing this blog has been awesome. Keep it up, guys!

Hey Vikings Fans
I found a couple posts on other Vikings blogs that I wanted to bring to your attention today.
The first one is from Daily Norseman. It’s entitled “Statistically Speaking, Vikings Look Solid“. The writer brings out where the Vikings sit in certain statistical comparisons with other players and teams in the league. Numbers and statistics fascinate me, so this post caught my attention right away. Here is a little snippet from the post:
We’ve talked about Adrian Peterson’s quiet games against the Packers and Rams, but AD is still second in the league in rushing yards. His 481 yards put him six yards behind the pace-setter, Cedric Benson. AD leads all running backs with seven rushing touchdowns.

The second article is from The Viking Age. It’s called “10 Points: Vikings-Rams“ This writer talks about 10 different topics that he noticed while watching the game this past weekend. Even though each point came about from watching the game, some of the things he talks about deal more with the season as a whole. It’s another interesting read. Here’s a snippet from that article.
Naufahu Tahi had 37 yards on 16 receptions in 2008. In 2009 he has 40 yards on 3 receptions, 32 of those yards coming on one play Sunday. And it wasn’t even Brett Favre throwing him the ball, it was his old buddy Tarvaris Jackson. You knew one of those dump-offs into the flat was going to break big one of these days.

I found this on Bleacher Report. It’s a fan’s version of the letter that TJ Houshmandzadeh would probably like to be writing to the Minnesota Vikings right now.
Dear Minnesota, the Vikings, and your fans:
I must admit, I am a little embarrassed to be writing this. Earlier this year you rolled out the red carpet for me, giving it your all to try and make me a Viking.
And did I say yes?
Nope.

I thought it was pretty funny.
In case you guys don’t remember, many people thought that the reason he chose Seattle was because they had a better QB. This was before Favre signed, and the Vikings had Jackson visit with Housh.

I’m a big fan of Vikings Gab. They post a lot of high quality stuff over there.
Yesterday they posted a page full of links about what is going on in the Viking World, and I thought it was a good list to read through…. and NO, not just because I’m on top.
So here it is, my link to a page full of links…
