What Sort of Career Path is Laquon Treadwell On?
Could the third year receiver finally be on the cusp of some very big steps? His Path to the Minnesota Vikings As the 2015 season came to an end, the Minnesota Vikings Wide Receivers group as a whole was at what may have been its lowest point in the history of the franchise. Stefon Diggs led the team with 720 yards through the air, but after that, the group was abysmal. Adam Thielen, Charles Johnson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jarius Wright, and Mike Wallace combined for just 1,196 yards. Yes, you read that correctly. 1,196 yards. Combined. For all five of them. So it came as no surprise...

Zimmer appreciates all that went into Cousins' 1-yard TD
Kirk Cousins’ first touchdown pass in live game action as a Viking couldn’t have been any shorter. One yard. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t impress his head coach as much as a dead-on deep ball down the sideline. Asked today what impressed him most about Saturday night’s opening touchdown drive, Mike Zimmer first mentioned the way the offensive linemen fired off the ball. Then he mentioned Stefon Diggs’ touchdown catch. And then he got to the $84 million QB, who went 4 for 4 for 42 yards and a 150.0 passer rating in his only drive of the 42-28 preseason-opening win at...

I Really Don’t Care
Seriously. I don’t! No, really. I honestly couldn’t care less. It was the first preseason game of the year. Some of my favorite players aren’t even in the game. I don’t care that Dalvin Cook, Anthony Barr, Linval Joseph, or Mike Remmers didn’t take the field. I don’t care that Kirk Cousins played just one series. I don’t care that he only had four completions for forty-two yards - even if one of those completions was a touchdown. I don’t care if Stefon Diggs was the one to catch that touchdown pass. I don’t care that he signed a Seventy-two million dollar contract...

He makes some great throws.Case Keenum wasnt nearly as sharp in his Denver...

Have you ever had that one buddy...
Stefon Diggs and Xavier Rhodes have apparently been clashing in practice... and it’ll be OK Have you ever had that one buddy... Who - when you were eight years old - kept taking all the good LEGO pieces, and leaving you with the ones the dog chewed on?

And you got the one with the chunky raspberry jelly that your aunt made three years ago that’s been sitting in the back of the fridge so long the label dried up and fell off when she...
