Well the Vikings season is over yet again, and we're faced with the same questions. Why are our two most important positions still filled by both Brad Childress and Tarvaras Jackson? Hard to imagine Tarvaras Jackson as a starting QB in a playoff game, but we did get what we thought we'd get out of it. Are we going to return next season with the same exact situation? Hopefully the Vikings finally w...

Well, the Vikings finally are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2004! Unfortunately the last time the Vikings played a playoff game it was a second round loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Yes some key parts on that previous Eagles team are long gone, but three of the most notables still remain: Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and coach Andy Reid. The Eagles beat the Vikings in the dome...

Just like last year, the Vikings need one win and their in the playoffs. The Vikings draw a team also in the playoff race, but just like last year, this is a home game, making it very winnable. Last year, the Vikings offense was manhandled by the Washington Redskins, and Adrian Peterson was horrible. Yesterday's game against the Atlanta Falcons was hauntingly familiar... Join Paladino Joey in this...

It doesn't get any wackier the this... Williams Wall remains intact for now because of court decision, Jared Allen is hurt, but returns and gets 2 sacks, Daunte Culpepper regains some of his old magic, Tarvaras Jackson takes over for injured Frerrotte and is nearly flawless..?? Alrighty then, we'll take it, as all the above made for a very very intriguing game to say the least. All in all, the Vik...

In what to date is the game of the year, the Vikings defeat the Packers, but barely, by squeaking out a remarkable 28-27 victory. The Vikings nearly threw away the game, literally when Gus Frerrotte made some pretty bad passes along the way, especially the one returned 59 yards for a TD by Nick Collins. Special teams coverage gives up yet another TD, and the second this season to Will Blackmon, wh...

Gus Frerrotte looks sharp early, butT-Jack like in the second half with 4 total interceptions. Peterson awakens at least, andBerrian continues his positive uptrend, but in the end, the Vikings defense is clearly proovento be significantly worse then the last few years. L...

In this episode, Paladino Joey talks about the Vikings pulling off a thriller on Monday night football in the bayou.

Hard to believe I know, but yes it happened, we all saw it. E.J. Henderson, my pick for Vikings defensive MVP is done for the year, it...

In this episode, Paladino Joey talks about the Vikings change at the QB position from the over matched Tarvaras Jackson to the veteran Gus Frerotte whom many were pinning for.

Vikings defense comes up big as the game goes on, especially from E.J Henderson and Kevin Wi...

Last week's poll results a...
