VIKINGS TRADE

Dang.  When was the last time we did a mid-season trade?  Maybe I've just been in outer space, but I can't think of anything terribly recently.

Anyway, Vikings have ponied up LB Gerald Hodges for C Nick Easton and a 2016 6th-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers.

Knowing absolutely NOTHING about Nick Easton, I'm ok with this trade.  I'm going to miss Hodges - from what I've read about him dude is a hard worker and a class act (this is mostly from him surprising his dad by adding "JR" to his jersey as a sign of respect), and we can always use those on our team.  But we have plenty of depth at line and we SEEM to be performing there (not this past Sunday though...) and considering our injury problems, a new backup center could be just the ticket to get Teddy ever more comfortable in the pocket.

Let's hope Teddy and Nick like each other, I do not want to see fumbled exchanged come midseason!! Or, frankly, at any point in the season.

SKOL!

Dammit, Mike Wallace!

I bench Mike Wallace and he nets SIXTEEN fantasy points?!  What the hell??  Where was that performance last week??

I haven't been able to watch any of the Vikings' games, but Peterson seems to be picking up where he left off (and he's well rested...*cough cough*) so that's good news.  Teddy seems to have his head out of his ass (seems being the operative word), and Harrison Smith is making me extremely happy.  Let's hope he keeps it up.

Hoping I'll get some free time to catch up with at least some game videos later.
