1st to my blogging fans.....I apologize for having a longer lapse between my entries.  I know, haha, some of you are waiting on the edge of you seat for every word I may write, lol.....yeah sure and now I will get over myself!!  Life has been busy and my store is taking off, so I won't complain about that and thank my lucky stars for it's fortune.  Now back to the Purple Crew;  latest news out of Chicago has some undisclosed (of course!!) Bears players not too happy with the fact of Jay Cutler not only not knowing who Sid Luckman is or was, but in his live press intro, he openly displayed the attitude of "whatever" toward the Bears icon.  Not good when it comes to the respect trait toward those that have come before him in the grand scheme of Bears country.  The reason I put this competitors thought in my Purple Crew speal is because the Bears ARE in our division.  Now, do I think Cutler will be able to impact the Purple's success?  Heck NO......the Bears offensive line isn't anything like what Denver's was or what our's is and with players such as JAllen, Culter will be seeing a lot of turf face to face.  Yes, Cutler is a mobile QB, but some of the DEs he will be facing are just as swift.  It is this bloggers opinion that Cutler will be lucky to get away with his health.

Overall, I think it must be said the Vikings draft was a success.  Percy Harvin was a very smart move with his play making ability.  However, I think it must be noted that the original structure for "character first" within the Spielman-Childress regime is being seen to be sliding a bit.  This Purple People Eater fan thinks the pressure to win and potentially salvage an  executive or two's job might be the cause for relaxing that standard.  Chilly must have received one heck of a warm and fuzzy feeling from those down in Gainesville to look beyond Harvin's character issues.  Time will only tell on that.  If one takes the time to examine some of the Gainesville blog's about Harvin's off the field antics in his last years down there, it is certainly not favorable.  It is painstakenly obvious that he got a lot of latitude from Coach Meyer when it comes to being on the field.  A player with less talent, may not have experienced the same.  If Percey can prove me wrong and become a model citizen as well as maintain his showtime ability, then I will glady eat the crow that will be waiting for me.
