DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket and your Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings finished 2007 with a final record of 8-8, an improvement over their 2006 record of 6-10. The year 2007 was also kind to Adrian Peterson who set records for All-Purpose yards and Most Rushing Yards in a single game. What does the future hold for Vikings fans in the new season? Coach Brad Childress returns to action, and defensive end Jaren Allen joins the roster, which will hopefully charge the team’s defense this year. Ultimately, the Vikings could only bring home five top quality draft choices in 2008. Whom did they select?
Safety Tyrell Johnson Arkansas State was their first choice, which led to some debate as to whether a safety player like Johnson really merited a second round draft choice. To a team that had a very limited selection to start with, Johnson may as well have been picks 1-4. Quarterback John David Booty from the University of Southern California was a slightly more popular choice, though some question whether he was ready to return so soon after an injury. However, Booty’s skills have been noticed and he has won numerous accolades for his achievements in college sports. Jaymor Johnson was brought in for a wide receiver, while defensive tackle Letroy Guion and offensive lineman John Sullivan helped in their respective departments.
Experts insist that the Vikings picks were less than impressive and not just because of the quantity. It looks like the Vikings will have to rely on the current roster and develop their new talent at a faster pace. Nevertheless, Vikings fans must press on, especially now that they know Barack Obama has publicly expressed support for the Chicago Bears. According to the Star Tribube Obama recently talked smack to Fargo, Minnesota citizens on the Bears’ chances against the underdog Vikings. Of course, since the Bears only finished last season with a 7-9 record, it’s likely that Obama and Chicago supporters are a bit naïve!
