Moss and Wolves still hot :)

So if you have been paying any attention to the Minnesota sports scene, you like me have most likely been overjoyed with the return of Randy Moss. What does Moss bring to the Vikings? Moss brings that big receiver who can spread the field. He is what Favre has been missing with the absence of Sidney Rice. Moss will fill his void for the time being. From now until Rice comes back Berrian better step up his play if he wants to be apart of this team in the future. He had one of the more productive training camps of anybody on the vikings squad, but that has not translated to game success. I think once Rice gets back this offense if Favre can start to get back in his comfort zone could be one for the record books. Peterson should be able to rip off more big runs with the defense playing back to defend the deep threat, RANDY MOSS. For the time being ill leave it at that on this post, i will have more Vikings talk after the Monday night game vs the Jets.

As for the Wolves, all i can do is smile and hope that this success continues into the regular season. If you haven't been paying attention they went 2 and 0 while they were in Europe against the Lakers and the Knicks. So far what i have noticed is Beasley is becoming the face of the franchise, he has declared the Wolves, "the team to beat." Kevin Love has also said similar things on the BEASY Show. This team is looking more and more like a NBA with the size and length they have. The Wolves look to be making strides in the positive directions. The new additions Webster and Beasley have been among the leading scorers in the first two games. I expect big things from these young men. I would like to see either Brewer, Wes, or Ellington to stand out and really play a significant role on this team to go along with the core players we have in Beasley, Love, and Webster. I cant wait to see Jonny rejoin this team and bring his high energy.
Has anyone else been paying attention to the play of Rubio overseas? He has not stuck out quite like i was hoping in fact he wasn't even a factor when his team played the Lakers. This scares me, because i am a huge Flynn fan and think he could turn out to be a player like Billups. A player the wolves gave up on too early. I hope they don't dump Flynn and bring in Rubio if he doesn't improve. I know he is still very young so he should be a good player in this league right ? : I

  2. Wow! Can't wait for Monday night to see what Moss really brings to the Vikes! Also looking forward to the start of the NBA to see what the Wolves can do this year. I agree - they need to keep Flynn! (Great Blog!!)

  3. It know i cant wait to see what goes down monday night, they will prolly have a restricted playbook just because he has only been here a few days, but peterson is still the heart and soul of this team. My predictions is Moss has 4 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown :)
