Brought to you by Mr. Cheer or Die and the Vikes Geek, welcome to theVote a Player off the Ship
In light of the boring off-season period, for the next 10-weeks we are going to try something fun. Each of the next 10-weeks we will vote to kick one Vikings player off the ship. Someone you think is the weakest link...or maybe just dislike.
Each following week, I'll repost the poll with one less player and the process will start all over again! So we'll start with ten and end up that you will have to make a choice between two players! We'll select the one player you cannot live without. That one player that gives you the most confidence each time you see him in purple. Who will it be!?!?
The result of Week One was that Chris Hovan was voted off the ship with a mandate. 70% of you told poor, misunderstood Chris to shove it.
In Week Two you showed that Vikings fans can hold grudges. For years. With almost 60% of the vote, you gave the finger to Morten Andersen. Who can forget the 1998 NFC Championship game?
Well, we couldn't and it is bye-bye Morten.
Week Three saw the closest voting to date with loquacious Kelly Campbell getting the boot by just a few votes over E. J. Henderson.
Week Four did finally put an end to swabbing the poop deck chores for E. J. Henderson. In spite of Randy Moss being traded to the Raiders, Henderson easily was voted off with nearly 60% of the vote.
In Week Five, you elected to boot Michael Bennett. Maybe an early indication that you expect him to be traded before the April draft. You did this despite the fact that Randy Moss is now longer a Viking yet remains on the ship for another week.
Something surprising happened in Week Six. The angry Moss Got Traded fans came out in force and vented their collective displeasure towards Daunte Culpepper. The vote was nip and tuck throughout the week but eventually Randy Moss was tossed from the Vikings longboat onto the pirate ship of Oakland by a mere 3 votes over Culpepper.
Who will be booted in Week Seven? We're now down to just four players. Voting will be open until Wednesday morning (3/23). Make your vote count!
The Latest Wild Rumor
The proposed deal that has been getting play on various Arizona Cardinal message boards goes like this:
ARIZONA- gets RB Edgerrin James, Minnesota 2nd round pick, Von Hutchins
INDIANAPOLIS- gets RB Michael Bennett, Arizona 2nd round pick, Arizona 6th round pick, S Corey Chavous
MINNESOTA- gets WR Anquan Boldin, OL L.J Shelton
Minnesota and Arizona then swap early first round selections. Vikes get the #8 overall and Cards the #7.
You are the G.M. of the Vikes. Do you make that trade? Why or why not?

Links and Tidbits
How fast is your reaction time? I reached Rocketing Rabbit status. How 'bout you?
I don't know much about L.J Shelton, but it seemes like it is too much. Bennett, Chevous, a 2nd ropund pick and the 8th pick overall instead of the 7th. Boldon isn't proven that he has come back from that injury. Shelton would help us at right guard, but is Offord ready to step into SS, or are we going to draft that kid out of Georga with the 18th. This deal also gives up an injury prone RB, but one more puff from the pipe and O. Smith is gone for the year, then what are we left with? Too much for what we are getting. This deal dosen't close up holes it just moves them to other positions. Don't Like it
