Vikings announced they have deactivated RB Adrian Peterson

It's still a great inspirational story, about a great man, on a great week for the franchise! I'm sure RW would be thrilled with the way things turned out.

BadLands, it's a great story, but it reads like a Hollywood script after it's 10th iteration. I heard of a $400M penalty for moving in 2020, but not $800M. This wasn't a story of Ralph vs. the NFL -- the majority of league owners did not want us to relocate. Ralph was always against relocation. He signed a lease that was against relocation. That's it. He didn't plan on dying and "hoodwinking" 31 other owners

A good trade because we got something for essentially nothing. But we didn't get 2 seasons of production out of him yet...

That's not my point. Whaley certainly had input regarding the QB position since the day he arrived, to think otherwise is naive. You don't make someone your right-hand man and then lock them in a closet when making decisions at QB.

I'd agree with this 100%. I don't want to downplay a great road victory on a fantastic week for the franchise, but without a +2 turnover differential we probably don't come out of there with a win.

Maybe they should start by taking over their own stadium first.

I thought the Pegulas ran over his dog or something.

He was Assistant General Manager and Director of Pro Personnel since 2010. People need to stop acting like he was sealed in a glass container, completely unable to give any input and not responsible for any of our moves - until the clock struck one day and he was named GM. It's what you want to believe, but it's not reality. Obviously you can't hang the 14 year albatross around his neck, but he's been a large part of the decision making process for the last 4 years.

As Dorkington said "They still think they are a better team than the Bills". It's mathematically impossible to rank each team solely on head-to-head match-ups. If Oakland were to play and beat Seattle next week (they don't play them next week), nobody in their right mind would think Oak is the better team. Not even the people in Oakland. It's not like we dominated them. They outgained us in yards and the game was a tossup going into OT. We won the game because we won the turnover battle.

Well, I can't say with certainty who will remain. I was commenting that there is certainly no stipulation to keep anyone i.e. you don't fork over a billion with strings attached.

You don't pay over a billion to get told how to run your business. C'mon now.

Irregardless, I am giving you leadway as you have peeked my curiosity.

Seriously. I guess a lot of people here don't follow hockey?

Zero amount of work getting done today. Probably tomorrow too.

Maybe it's time I got a sig. Don't all the cool posters have signatures?

He highly respects the tradition and past of the Sabres. He nearly broke down in tears when he held a press conference with the French Connection. He told Gilbert Perrault that he's "his hero." He's like a very, very rich fan. You old-timers that are banging the drum to get Lou Saban on the Wall of Fame might get your wish. Spending money will NOT be an issue. If anything he probably over-hyped himself and the Sabres with "Cup talk" after he bought the team. This old article is required reading.

lol done deal my a$$ "the agency would vote on Sept. 30"

Not just yet, that's reserved for a playoff berth. I may consider rotating it to point upwards however...

Great news!

I don't want to sound negative after an opening day road win, but I agree with you. We gave up 427 yards of offense and when they had both of their big receivers in the game they moved the ball well on us. Those 3 turnovers are what held them to 20 points.

Put down the bottle and drink some black coffee...

I can't believe Chandler single-handedly killed that drive. He just took points off the board.

Bonus: I predict I get 7 out of 11 right
