Let Us Begin the Michael Vick To Minnesota Rumors

Now that we can be done with the Brett Favre rumors to Minnesota*, it's time to start floating around the Michael Vick to Minnesota rumors. I mean why not, the Vikings obviously want a quarterback with a better pedigree than Sage Rosenfels or Tarvaris Jackson and Vick delivers this.

To me Minnesota now becomes the most logical fit. A team in contention that was willing to take on a new quarterback with risk all of season. They are in a smallish market so the backlash might be less. And most importantly he would make a difference on the team.

Just picture this for a second. In his prime Vick led the most dominating rushing attack in football. This came with miniature Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood. Now imagine Vick in the same backfield as Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. This is what the Vikings were looking to get from Tarvaris when they drafted him as a poor man's Vick, but he hasn't even come close to living up to the hype.

Its time to start the Minnesota Vickings rumor mill.

*We probably can't be done with the rumors because it's Brett Favre, he doesn't want to retire, the rumors will go on and on my friend, cause it's the story that doesn't end...

Vick would not work in Minnesota. The fans and the powers that be hate any black players with issues on his resume and are quick to call for their heads. The fans dogged all of the following guys linked to football: Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Randy Moss, Dante Culpepper, Tavaris Jackson and Denny Green. They did love Cris Carter but not in public. And T. Jackson hasn't been given a fair shot to play QB on this team. How can you give a guy a job then take him out after only 2 games that were not his fault? Give the guy a shot and maybe he'll surprise everyone...how many QB's have had 4 TD games...not many.

I see New Orleans in Vick's future. That's a city where anything goes, so a little thing like dog fighting is not likely to raise eyebrows like it would in many other parts of the country. On top of that, Reggie Bush is gimpy, so Vick would work well as a doppelganger there.

Cheers!

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
