Vikings moving to LA after this coming season?

i think after the vikings move to LA they should change their name to the los angeles minnesotons after stealing their 2nd pro team form the state

True, true. And Buffalo doesn't have a fierce rivalry with anyone. It's a strange, sad place. And that's said by a guy from Detroit!

i've got a bud from buf and he says the miami rivalry is pretty bitter...for some reason.

i think the stl move makes sense.

Let's remember posting about politics goes in the FYI section. There is plenty to discuss on this topic besides that.

Republican or democrat its just plain stupid. I hope these fools loose their team so that they can understand the concept of tax revenue and how it relates to budget.

I hope the Twins leave in the near future too. Then Minneapolis will be known as the only American city to have lost a franchise in every major professional sport. They've already lost the Lakers and the North Stars. They should already understand the lesson you describe, but they just aren't getting it.

Then again, the Lakers and North Stars have both been replaced by new franchises. The Vikings will return, even if they aren't the Vikings anymore. And their voting public will then be on the hook for far more than half the construction cost of the new stadium which will eventually have to be built. If they were smart they'd just adopt the bill rejected by their government, saving themselves hundreds of millions of dollars AND a professional sports franchise. If they were smart.

I think if they move to LA, given some of the antics of some of their players in the past, they should name the team the Los Angeles Dildos. Maybe this would be their helmet logo:

Nice and yesterday the Repubs blocked it. MN politics are very polarized right now and it could cost this state the Vikes.

Weirdly enough, in Madden I moved Jacksonville to LA and they were the Diablos...sort of close

Favre already inspired this one:

A bitter rivalry doesn't have to include close teams geographically. Remember the 90s and our tussles with the cowgirls? In the past few years the Gmen are starting to get on my nerves.

Goddell is here in the Twin Cities today to give some ultimatums, I mean assess the situation here.

you were right the first time.

[Cheesehead Craig]

It's funny that Goddell comes out and says that there's no implied threat of the Vikes leaving MN by his presence at the Capitol and his insistance on getting the stadium bill done this year. Yeah, right.

I cant believe how dumb this whole thing is! Bunch of libtards and Neoconbitches that cant agree on a damn thing.

Lets build some more damn bike paths in this crap state...

Hey man, cut it out. I like bike paths.
