Links Of The Week(end)

Sorry for being a few days behind on the normal rotation here.  The links are few days late partly because of a lack of links out there (slow news week), but mostly because of laziness.  Here is the best of the best, however, from around the net.  Go check them out and tell ’em who sent ya:

  • The annual “Adrian Peterson Day” celebration will have a few drastic changes in 2014.
  • Undrafted defensive tackle Isame Faciane thinks a coaching connection might give him an advantage as he battles for a roster spot.
  • The theme of this offseason seems to be “hope and optimism” on almost all accounts.
  • The Vikings might keep only two quarterbacks this coming season to prevent losing a competitive player at another position.
  • Purple People Readers is a new addition to our blogroll and pointed us towards this cool letter about Teddy Bridgewater.
  • A prediction of five Vikings veterans that will not make the final cuts this season. Sorry, Gil, I only agree with one of those five.
  • It appears to some that Xavier Rhodes is being singled out by the coaching staff during OTAs.
  • Chad Greenway did everything he could to reverse the “Tonka Curse” last week.  Too bad “lives saved” is a meaningless stat, right Arif?
  • The Vikings stadium isn’t even built yet, but the State is making a hard push for elite events.
  • Fullback Jerome Felton can only hope Norv Turner’s offense means big things for his career.
  • Teddy Bridgewater says he wants the quarterback that is best for the team to start on day one even if that isn’t him.
  • Anthony Barr says the quarters system “kind of sucks” since he is unable to participate like other rookie players.
  • Christian Ponder acknowledges that things haven’t gone well, that there might be a better place for him, and that he is currently in limbo.
  • Linebacker is going to be one of the most competitive roster battles in training camp and Jasper Brinkley knows it.
  • New England was the most recent team known to be flirting with career-long Vikings Kevin Williams.
  • Norv Turner tried to get the Browns to sign Matt Cassel before he first signed with Minnesota.
  • This is you answer as to why rookie running back Jerick McKinnon remains unsigned.
  • And, here it is, your moment of Zen:
