That makes sense since from your perspective. I would presume though if that was still an issue at Newark, the Vikings would have chosen one of the other numerous airports able to handle such a charter in the nearby NYC/NJ area that are a very reasonable less than 30 minute drive to East...

😆 Good one! During OT I was trying figure out how a 2nd Tie for the Packers would have worked out for the NFC North standings and future results. The Bears scored before I worked out the total implications.

I got what you meant about Newark, I was just having fun with it. I do however think an NFL franchise's charter is going to get some special dispensation.

It's not like the Vikings are going to be forced to eat at Roy Rogers and wait for their luggage at Carousel G. I would expect the charter experience to be much different than commercial travelers. Maybe the Wilfs have some favorable influence in their hometown.

Correct, that's also part of why the comparison wasn't like for like to begin with. Quite fair. Aside from any negotiation postering, I also have a hard time fathoming logistically it could work out. Traffic from South Bend to Chicago after Notre Dame games is helliacious. I would expect it...

Whenever I see this trailer I feel like someone is going to try to pitch me on buying a GMC truck and I start craving Reese's peanut butter cups. I hope it's good though.

Even though they won, I think I would have preferred to see 8-5 Duke play A&M instead of 10-2 Miami, especially if they have a competent Place Kicker able to convert FGs.

Given that Jones injury was late in the season, I think it will be pushing it to be ready by the start of next season. Even if he is available to play, his effectiveness could be hindered, especially if he has to learn a new offense on top of the that. He's younger than Cousins & Rodgers when...

Tough to embrace today's gawd awful Hurricanes/Aggies pillow fight. That was excruciating for 58 minutes and then ended with another fail. Looks like the Committee got it right though, choosing Miami over Notre Dame who already failed to beat those clowns.

It's not an attempt at trolling. Threatening to move to a different state (and all the tax base implications with it) makes it radically different and not comparable to the Vikings. That's just a fact. The Bears are attempting to put the state of Illinois vs Indiana in their quest for a new...

Rivals. I hope they lose.

I dislike 17 Big 10 teams, admittedly 2 more than others, but several aren't that far behind.

Exploring options to play in a different state to me makes it radically non-comparable, even if it is the same media market.

No it's not like that. The Vikings never explored options to play their Home games in Hudson, WI.
