Vikings' Shiancoe ready to roll, not talk

About time I found some actual info about whats going on in Viking country. The viking home page is never updated with new articles or info. There is no good rumer mill either. I guess the people running the web page must be holding out for more money. Their site is a joke. I live in South Dakota now and twin cities.com is the only site I found so far to keep me updated on the vikings. I reciently got internet access but so far this is the most current Viking info I've found. Thank you! I haven't been this optomistic on our season in a long time. Skol Viks!

South Dakota has internet access? When did that happen?

Most of you guys are simply just bandwagon riders. When Tavaris throws a touchdown, he's good. When he throws an INT, he sucks. If Shiancoe drops a ball, he sucks. But if he catches it, he's good. Look deeper into the situations of all the players like a few people have done on here. If they continue to underpreform, then judge. But these two dudes are new to this system, so just shut-up and wait to see what happens.

Good God.....can Shiancoe be setting himself up for more ridicule than this column? The team is amped up to go, everyone is on the same page, he went from apparently being a fat load to a new, svelt Zeus like body, "everyone is on the same page" etc.; all following remarks/body language which seems to suggest his coach and team just didn't give him his due last year. He was open last year but maybe could have been open a little more? Well let me tell one and all that I will be the first bloke on the block dropping the hammer on Shiancoe, Ziggy and Childress should this very expensive experiment fail again this year. Having an athletic TE who can move the chains and catch the occassional TD is an important variable to any decent offense and the Vikes rolled the dice in betting this unproven guy was the man for the job. By all accounts, there should be no excuse for another dismal year from him and I for one, will be keeping close tabs.
