The NFL Lockout is Officially Over, Dome is Ready

The NFL Lockout is over!! The Vikings are officially back! The dome just had it's roof fixed and will absolutely be ready for people to play in it by the time the preseason rolls around. Now that the Vikings are the only team in to play in the dome. I think it's kind of nice for the dome. It just gets to rest during the summer instead of having to host 81 Twins games like it normally does. The Vikings are back and I can't wait for Adrian Peterson to jump into the seats in the end zone after he scores his first touchdown at the dome.

NFL Lockout is Still Underway, but I can't Wait for the Vikings!

Yeah, yeah so the NFL Lockout is still going on. Talks have progressed, but there is still a lot for the two sides to hash out. Here are a couple of things I would like to say to both sides trying to figure this out.

To the players: I know you want more of your contracts to be be guaranteed and to be paid in retirement, but you have to understand how much it costs the owners to run your teams. Without them paying the checks, you really aren't worth anything

To the owners: You realize your leverage is dwindling right? The closer you get to the season the more risk you run of losing actual games in a season. Sure, NFL players careers are short, but that's because they get beat up playing these games. With the time off they can recover and most of them have enough money to sustain a lockout like this.
