Greetings from Minneapolis

I'm on the road in the land o'lakes for a work event. Which means my post regularity will likely suffer.

("How can we tell?")

"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!"

*ahem* As I was saying... We apologize for any delays. We'll try to bring you the more consistent level of debauchery that you're used to next week.

NFL Rule Broken Down

If you're a little unsure of just what constitutes a legal hit in the NFL nowadays, Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has provided a simplified, illustrated explanation via his Twitter account.

From SB Nation.

Rags to Riches: A true story

The Minnesota Vikings just delivered some good news to undrafted free agent Nick Urban: You can turn your two-weeks notice in at Target.

Urban, who has been working as a cashier at Target, went undrafted as a lineman out of Winona State but managed to get an invite to Vikings rookie minicamp and got an offer from the Vikings.

Said Urban of his employment at Target:

“They were nice enough to take me on, knowing my situation and I owed them a lot,” Urban said of his bosses at Target, who gave him flexible, part-time hours so he could train for his shot at the NFL. “My parents raised me that way. They were nice enough to help out [at Target] and people that are nice enough to help you, you don’t just leave high and dry.”
