		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: Preliminary reports from Access Vikings say that Matt Birk has accepted the terms of the Baltimore Ravens. Though the deal isn&#8217;t officially complete, it should be done very soon. That would, of course, end Birk&#8217;s stay with the Vikings, where he had spent his entire career. The Harvard graduate had never tested free agency, [...]]]></description>

Every kid dreams of the opportunity to make the catch that Holmes did with just seconds remaining. In the right corner of the end zone Holmes killed his legs a la Cris Carter (who wasn&#8217;t inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. An amazing travesty, but another story).
It was a questionable call, but there [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s already one-upping Andrew and I by posting three times in rapid succession, so I have a great feeling that he&#8217;ll be a wonderful contributor and will push myself to write a wee bit more. So, thank you [...]]]></description>

My parents, as well as my fiance&#8217;s father drove down from Iowa, and the five of us went to the local Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Vikings implode against the Falcons.

		<description><![CDATA[True, Tarvaris Jackson is not a rookie. But he might as well be. This Sunday the rookie-led Falcons will travel up north to face the &#8220;rookie&#8221;-led Vikings.
These two offenses are actually pretty similar. There are not superstar receivers on either the Minnesota team or the Atlanta team. (Berrian would probably win that category, however.) Solid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the title boasts, that was a horrible-to-watch, ugly, massively underachieving game, but you know what?
It&#8217;s a win.
With that win, the Vikings improved to 8-5, guaranteeing themselves not to have a losing season, and still one game up on the Chicago Bears. The Packers, the great cheese head team that they are, got beat on a [...]]]></description>

The Bucs game? Let&#8217;s just move on, shall we? Seems like the right thing to do. We have the Jaguars in a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vikings lose at Tampa Bay 19-13, and let me tell you, that was a tough one to watch.
After opening the game with a 13-6 lead, the Vikings were held scoreless in the second half. I find this game hard to blame on the offense; when they had the ball, they were fairly successful most of [...]]]></description>

This was the ugliest performance by the Vikings so far this year. Absolutely nothing went right. I can&#8217;t say how thankful I am that our opponent this week was the worst in the entire league, and the referees were wearing purple glasses. Here are some game thoughts: 

I obviously overlooked this game. There was really no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Bobby Wade also played a big role in this weird win. He had eight catches for 64 yards. Sidne Rice was inactive for the game, so Wade knew that he was the number two receiver and had to act the part.  
There was purple in the Saints pocket all night. Minnesota did a great job of putting [...]]]></description>
