NFL 2015-16: Super Bowl and offseason

Saw where Joel Stave was drafted by the Vikes. The article said he was the winningest QB in Wisconsin history. UW is not exactly QBU, but as many struggles as he had that was a bit of a shocker.

He was signed but wasn't drafted.

Oh it's a flat out waste of a roster space. Why bother with a QB that can't throw?

I'm continually reminded why I should be glad I was raised properly and never was a Vikings fan.

Manziel turns himself in to a DFW area jail. Will appear around 0900 central time tomorrow morning. Facing misdemeanor assault (carries up to 1 year in jail, 4k fine).

So, the Cowboys are building a new practice field/complex. It will be called "The Star".

The crazy thing? It will cost MORE THAN THEIR STADIUM!!! 1.5 BILLION estimated cost.

The Vikings' new HQ in Eagan, MN, will rival their stadium's cost. The complex will be quite large, and they're incorporating community outreach programs into it. Last I heard, there will even be some mixed-use development included into the complex at one end for various shops and townhomes. They're expecting to sell off another section of it to a housing developer for luxury homes where they intend for a large number of players and coaches to live.

Ya, Cowboys will have like a 12 story hotel, medical facilities, shopping areas, etc as well. Silly.
 
Re: NFL 2015-16: Super Bowl and offseason

That's insane. I hope that isn't taxpayer-funded for the Vikings.

I don't know the funding sources. It's probably not explicitly funded by the taxpayers, but the team has more cash on hand thanks to the state paying for about 50% of the stadium. Also, the site for their new HQ and practice facilities is the old Northwest Airlines HQ site, so it would make sense that Eagan has baited them in with some TIFF options in addition to having a huge plot of land in an already highly developed area a few blocks away from 494 and not too far from the stadium.

What a special day in Antonio Cromartie's life. It's not every day you welcome child #11 and child #12 into the world.

John Kuhn reportedly not resigning with the Packers.

On one hand, makes sense. He's 34, and it was almost silly to have two FBs last year, much less moving forward. It's Ripkowski's time.

On the other hand... he was really valuable in the backfield. Not for running, of course. He was maybe as good of an option as Lacy and Starks in explicit short yardage situations, but more importantly he was really good at reading and reacting to plays.

Plus, "Ripkowskiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" just isn't going to sound the same from the crowd, even though it is Wisconsin.
