I recently spoke with two great Kansas City Chefs, er, I mean Chiefs fans about the game Friday night. They are Weirdwolf and First Down Elvis.
They are part of the KC Superfans group and they make a greater impact on the community by helping to raise funds for charities, supporting Chiefs player charities, visiting hospitals, retirement homes and youth centers and also creating our own events for underprivileged kids. Like myself, Weirdwolf is in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame Visa Hall of Fans as the Chiefs Fan of the Year for the 2002 season. And we talked about his recent trip to Canton as part of that group's reunion.

SHOUT OUT! Friday
And here we go with the fourteenth edition of SHOUT OUT! Friday. Let me know if you liked SHOUT OUT! Friday by leaving a Commment at the end of this entry. And if you didn't, you can still leave one! Or if you'd like to give someone a personal SHOUT OUT! just e-mail me and I'll consider it for the following week.
This week's first SHOUT OUT! goes to Vikings fan Scott Calvin who lives in St. Louis and torments the local Rams fans with his RC Vikings plane! Yeah!
A SHOUT OUT!, literally, to 2-year old Shayla, giving her own "Shout Out " to Ragnar last week at training camp.
A very earned SHOUT OUT! to our local 5 Eyewitness News who have launched KSTP.com's new Vikings page. They have an exclusive column written by ex-Viking and NFL MVP Rich Gannon, plus tons of video. Plus, there'll be contests, and email alerts, and other news.
And finally, a huge SHOUT OUT! to the staff at Winter Park who worked quickly to fix some graffiti that had been spray-painted on the newly refurbished replica of a Viking ship this past Wednesday. I visited the ship on Thursday and saw no evidence of any graffiti. Workers were still finishing up a little work on the ship itself. Even the interior of the ship was getting a make-over. For complete history of the renovation please review my blog entries from July 3rd and July 27th.

Have a great weekend everyone! Come back Monday for another podcast. I'm not sure at the moment who the guest(s) will be as I have several irons in the fire. But I'm sure it will be a worthwhile listen.
See you then!
These friggin "podcasts" suck; because I am deaf. This site has become practically useless to me: offering hardly any Vikings information at all anymore.
You wrote in your Training Camp Report about some WR making Culpepper laugh; although without being able to hear your "podcast", I have no idea who that WR is.
I am sure these "podcasts" are full of information, but without being able to hear them they are useless to me. Please be a little more detailed in your written Vikings reports.
Thank You,
Mark.
Thanks for the comment Mark. As my wife would say, "Well, you thought that through pretty good, didn't you!" It never occured to me the impact of doing podcasts on deaf readers.
On the good side, you refer to the "WR that made Culpepper laugh" but having no reference. That is not true as there is a photo link to the "one receiver in particular" reference that shows your Travis Taylor. You may have just missed that link as you were reading the entry.
On the bad side, I will continue to do podcasts. I am a one-man operation and get paid $0. Podcasts are easier for me to do than writing out a whole piece. In fact, in may become a podcast/poll/photo site only in the future. But I will try to flush things out a bit in the future!
