everyone should all watch this, it will help you appreciate your own team's success a little more

this will be good, i like history and i'm not that familiar with the team prior to 2000. it will be nice to have a better appreciation for the entirety of the misery this team has gone through

You wasn't a fan of the Vikings back in the 70's? That is when they had their best teams.

Hate to break it to you but you're one of the elder statesman on this forum.

You missed out on the "Purple People Eaters" and your best head coach. No dome. Played outdoors back then.

He's very lucky that it didn't result in another Henry Ruggs situation. I've seen him interviewed & he doesn't come off as the brightest.

Well, at least he wasn't intoxicated (I believe Ruggs was).

Im not too upset about this. Flores runs the 3-4 defense and Hunter showed last year he just isnt all that cut out for that defense. Hunter is made to be an outside end on a 4-3 line. So ya if Minny can get something solid in return for him, Im all for it. Instead of having him continue to sit out and be upset, or Minny caving and giving him a big deal when he doesnt even fit the defense they play.

Trade him to the Raiders right F*cking now.

in for a penny, in for a pound on moving on from long-time, big contributors i guess

this is another tough one, hunter is super good. had that time after he was injured where i was worried how he'd come back but he was pretty good last year. i think duke's right though, if its going to cost too much or he doesn't fit in the new defense its probably best to move on

after all that we re-signed hunter to a one-year deal
