Vikings out of the Playoffs, but the Wild Are Winning

Well loyal Vikings fans it is over. For the first time in four years we are eliminated before the last game of the season. What a awful game to watch it had it's ups and downs, but overall if you are looking for a bad quarterback to look good call the Vikings and they will give you a career game.

Where do the Vikings go now well the answer is Chicago for a pointless game. The future of the team is up in the air and it looks like Mike Tice has a 50-50 chance of returning next year. I think he will return this is going to be a big year for new coaches think of this: Green Bay, Detroit, St.Louis, Arizona, Dallas, Chiefs, San Diego, Oakland, Baltimore, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, and Tennessee might need new coaches. So what the Vikings need to do is keep Tice one more year then wait for coaching prospects to emerge, and give Tice a offensive cordinator, and other coaches to work with.

The offseason season should be good and alot of players are going to be released my list is below:

RB Michael Bennett
RB Moe Williams Retirement
WR Nate Burelson 50%
T Mike Rothensal
G Chris Liwenkski
C Corey Withrow
OLB Napolean Harris
CB Brian Williams of Fred Smoot

Look for the Vikings to fill gaps in the free agent pool and draft. The offensive line needs help and maybe a free agent and a rookie guard.

Other Notes

The Minnesota Wild are on fire winning there last two games in good fashion they have looked like the team of old with good scoring and defensive. They have the night off and look to keep rolling on Wedensday againest the Oilers again.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost there two weekend games againest Phoneix and Portland they are getting very close to trading the Kandiman and Trenton Hassell to the Pacers for Ron Artest and another player. The trade should be this week and if it isn't with us look for the Nuggets, Lakers, Hawks as other teams for him.

The Minnesota Twins signed Rondell White as the teams DH on Friday. I like the move and he will make 3.25 million in his first year and has a option for the next year. Look for the Twins to look for Bullpen help in the future I think the lineup has been set and it looks like this:

Shannon Stewart LF
Luis Castillo 2B
Joe Mauer C
Rondell White DH
Justin Morneau 1B
Torri Hunter CF
Tony Batista 3B
Michael Cuddyer RF
Jason Bartlett SS

Bench
Mike Redmond C
Lew Ford OF
Nick Punto IF
Juan Castro IF
Jason Kubel OF
