Update Time!
Good Afternoon!As some of you know I had a Zoom meeting with one of the Coral developers to discuss all of the concerns we have at The Daily Norseman about Coral.
First, I have to say thank you to Sam for taking the time to meet with me and listen to our complaints and possible solutions, the meeting was originally scheduled for thirty minutes but we extended it to an hour.
If you’re wondering I did ask if we could have Chorus back and was...

A few changes and some new names
Well, so much for getting this bad boy up earlier on Saturdays, eh?
Yes, after a significant delay, we’re finally here with Version 2.0 of your 2021 Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft Database, in which we attempt to get a handle on what the purple might be doing when we get to this year’s NFL Draft.
In last week’s Database, we saw the defensive linemen dominate things in the early going, and we’ve got...

Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!I mentioned in the comments yesterday mrs_rob received her second Covid vaccine, neither of us had any significant side effects to either dose; for those of you wondering I received the Moderna version and mrs_rob got the Pfizer. I recommend you get the vaccine when it’s available where you live....and if this triggers the anti-vaccination crowd too bad. Not much in the way of news right now as we crawl towards free...
Kirk Cousins isn’t the problem for the Vikings. At the same time, I’m not sure if he’s the solution either. If there’s any concerns about his “clutch”-ness, you can put those to bed.

Because you could cash in if you’re right
Ever since the 2020 NFL season ended for the Minnesota Vikings, the speculation. . .if you can call it that. . .has been swirling that the purple might be interested in trading their quarterback, Kirk Cousins. If you firmly believe that the Vikings do want to deal Cousins away, and you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is, you could wind up profiting from it.
Our friends from BetOnline.ag have provided...
Flip and Eric discuss the futures of Riley Reiff, Mike Hughes, and Mike Zimmer along with some draft and free agency talk.
Flipmazzi and combined Climbing The Pocket and Daily Norseman forces once again Thursday night for the latest episode of Viking Hot Takes, with our usual help from producer extraordinaire David Stefano (aka @Luft_Krigare, aka brand new grandpa for the second time). For those unfamiliar with the relatively new show, we put 20 minutes on the clock and fire through three...
Weekend Eve Open Thread
Good Morning!I’m working on the Coral post today, if I can get it all typed up by 1pm I’ll post it to the front page, if not Monday will be the day; get your torches and pitchforks ready. I posted an article link from NFL.com yesterday that the trade market for Marcus Mariota has dried up but as the universe must have balance, the Russell Wilson trade news is heating up with no movement by the Texans with Deshaun Watson. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news...
The QB carousel is spinning around the NFL -- should the Vikings jump on board? Here's what's at stake if they move Cousins or stick with him.
Thursday Open Thread
Good Morning!I haven’t started working on the follow up post for Coral, I’ve got some things I want to do today on my first day off besides take a nap, but I’ll try and get it put together so I can post it late Friday morning, if not I’ll post it Monday morning. I’ll be working on the mailbag post through the weekend, get your questions and ideas together as we roll slowly into the offseason. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread...
A good news story
My apologies for things being a bit slow around here over the past few days. Real life has decided to kick yours truly in the backside a few times and. . .well, this just isn’t a whole lot going on right now. But, we do have a good news story that involves several former and current members of the Minnesota Vikings to share with you.
Some of you may or may not be aware that former Vikings’ defensive lineman Willie Howard is the head football coach at Robbinsdale Cooper...
Wow, we’re cruising through this off-season at a sloth-like pace.
Merry Hump Day, everyone!Hey, is it just me, or is this off-season moving even slower than the normal off-season? Man, it seems like the Super Bowl ended a couple months ago. Well, baby steps will help us get through this, so for now, let’s focus on surviving the work week so we can get to the weekend. Anyone have plans for the weekend? Kiddo and I have a weekend of ice fishing planned, we’ll squeeze in some sleep here...

Merry Tuesday, everyone!This period of the year is my least favorite part of the year, I call it sports purgatory. Football has ended, baseball hasn’t started yet, and the only real sport being played is hockey. For some of you, hockey fills the void. For me, although I’m from North Dakota, I’m not a huge hockey fan, so the hockey season doesn’t do a lot for me. I’ll watch a game here and there, and I’ve become a fan of the Wild (and the Bruins, because...

It’s pretty hard to believe
Over the weekend, our friends over at Vikings Territory found what I think is a pretty impressive stat, and one that I think needs to be shared with a greater audience. So, in the event that you didn’t see it there, you can see it here.
Throughout their history, the Minnesota Vikings are a team that has gotten a reputation for falling apart at the worst possible time. . .and, for the most part, it’s pretty well-earned....
It’s running back week: we talk Dalvin Cook, the RB position, trivia, and viewer questions

We don’t comprehend the level of greatness we witness until many years later.
One year from today will be 2-22-22. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
Happy Monday, everyone!Kiddo and I got out for our first ice fishing trip of the year yesterday, and it felt great to get out on the ice. In a normal year, we’d have been getting out on the ice for the past couple months, but the winter has been abnormaly warm here (up until the 10-day Antarctic invasion that moved in 2 weeks ago and...

This should be interesting
Over the past couple of seasons, Minnesota Vikings’ running back Dalvin Cook has proven himself to be among the game’s most dynamic offensive players. Now, with the season over, he’s still got plenty of football on the schedule, but now he’ll be looking at things from a different perspective.
A couple of days ago, the news broke that Cook had become a part-owner of a team in the brand new Fan Controlled Football league....

Yeah, kind of sprung it on you, eh?
Well, kids, it’s that time of year again. . .time for yours truly to aggregate as many mock drafts as possible so that we can attempt to get a feel for what the Minnesota Vikings are going to do when the 2021 NFL Draft rolls around this April.
Yes, the best and most extensive Mock Draft Database focusing exclusively on the purple is back for another season! As we’ve done every year since 2013. . .with the exception of 2017...

And he would know
New Minnesota Vikings’ wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell has seen some pretty great receivers in his time as an NFL player and coach. He’s coached a lot of them during his time as a coach and, you know, he was one himself during his NFL career.
But McCardell has compared two of his newest charges, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, to one of the most dominant wide receiver pairings of the late 90s and early 2000s. That combo is the...
