A week ago tonight, Vikings fans were eagerly awaiting the results of the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, and those results were indeed something to be excited about. With the Draft now over, and with a little time to digest, let’s take a look around the web at what everyone is talking about now:
- Bud Grant would have made a great broadcaster, but he turned it down because he wanted “some time off.”
- With the “Triangle of Authority” in the rear view mirror Rick Spielman’s style is starting to win the fans over.
- A 2,500 yard season and multiple Super Bowl rings are the lofty goals Adrian Peterson wants to reach.
- Punter Chris Kluwe would prefer to be cut if there isn’t going to be a legitimate competition for the position.
- Christian Ponder’s arm injury kept him out of his first playoff game, landed him in the E.R., and could be something to worry about moving forwards.
- Spielman is winning over even the franchise’s toughest critics.
- The Brian Urlacher chatter just will not die.
- Both Chad Greenway and Greg Jennings are up for the same prestigious humanitarian award.
- The media makes it seem like Cordarrelle Patterson can barely tie his own shoes. I’m excited for him to prove them all wrong.
- Christian Ponder knows that Matt Cassel represents at least some competition for the starting job.
- Some clues have emerged about the Vikings stadium design which will be revealed this month.
- The days of Bryant McKinnie’s annual weight watch is over for Vikings fans, but Matt Kalil is having the opposite problem.
- Despite being a second year player, safety Harrison Smith plans on stepping up to fill the leadership role that Antoine Winfield held onto for so long in the Vikings secondary.
- A photo gallery of Vikings minicamp.
- If getting a punted football into the ceiling of a theatre is criteria for keeping a job, then Jeff Locke should be cut right now.
- The Vikings continue to get plenty of high marks for their 2013 Draft class.
- Matt Cassel says he taught Tom Brady everything he knows. The guy has a good sense of humor.
- Jared Allen is feeling healthy, isn’t worried about his contract, and has his sights set on the Super Bowl this year.
- A look at how the Draft impacted the landscape of the NFC North.

The harrison Smith leadership link doesn't work. It takes you to "the incredible shrinking Matt Kalil"
Sorry & thanks, should now be fixed.
and this one? -
A look at how the Draft impacted the landscape of the NFC North.
Think it's fixed now. Geesh, I better not shank anymore of these links or the Vikings will draft a hack blogger in the fifth round next year.
Thanks for the catch.
perfect, thanks
As long as you're not a big hit on the salary cap, I think you're OK Adam.
yo, Adam. When you dominated Vikings Gab you would often refer to the unwashed masses as "Gabbers". So what's the dealio here at Vikings Territory? What are we? Territorians? Please help with this minor identity crisis. Anybody else besides Big Johnny have any ideas? Thanks.
......'cause we all know Johnny will bust out that code talking prison lingo
That's an excellent question, Ole. After what went down here the other day I think the "Salted Nut Rolls" might fit.
Now I get it...I was thinking, what's the deal with the salted nut roll? Salted Nut roll? Really, Salted nut roll....as the #1 candy bar? Ever?!
Then I see this- http://www.afarmgirlsdabbles.com/2011/09/01/chocolate-dipped-salted-nut-roll-bars-minnesota-state-fair/
It's a Minnesoota thing, who knew. That's cool, I'll have to try one soon.
dude, you need better web sites to look at
try this one -

You have to admit Adam, that we are a diverse group here at the Territory. I did not know bringing up at Salted Nut Roll would cause such chaos.
Yeah Norse, its hard to believe so many people had a hard time understanding the quality of the Salted Nut Roll, and instead went in all directions on us. Who would thunk that? Shoulda been a no-brainer.
No doubt Coach, especially when people start playing the Fifth Avenue Bar card.
Here are some ideas:
Salty Rollers
The Salty's
Nutters
Nut Jobs
The Purple Reigns
The Rollers
Lohan Dead by Halftime (no wait... that is one of my Fantasy Football team's name)
People who hate 5th Avenue Bars
Hope these help.. by the way, who was hotter, Ginger or Mary Ann?
Who are Ginger and Mary Ann?
Never watched Gilligan's Island have you.
oh, c'mon. those are the spice girls. everybody knows that
Duron Carter dropped the first 3 passes that were thrown to him today at rookie mini camp.
Maybe Carter will have a better day tomorrow.
I also saw a article that said punter Jeff Locke looked good.
QB Dayne Crist (had 1 good year as a Notre Dame starter) is also trying out at the rookie camp.
Crist was a 5 star recuit coming out of high school and was ranked as one of the top 3 QBs in the country.
