2010-2011 NFC North Division

[ChicosBailBonds]

A walk-out?!? Seriously, when has that ever worked? A vast majority of fans aren't going to pay the price of a ticket simply to walk out of the game. The front office doesn't care if the fans boo or if there's a walk-out and you're insanely naive if you think those types of tactics work. The only way to send a message to ownership is to stop spending money on their product but, as we all should know, if you and me don't buy the tickets to games, some other fan will.

The season is already sold out, the tickets are already purchased.  So it isn't a revenue impact, it's an impact for the following years.  Because the Cowboys are talked about so much, if you saw half the stadium leaving in the middle of a quarter, that would make every sports news cast in the country and damn sure would hit Jerry hard in the ego.  This isn't about pocketbook, this is about checking his ego, something that never has been questioned.

It has nothing to do with the tickets since they are already sold out

Vikings waive Moss.

Vikings reportedly waive Moss.

That is odd.

[GGGG]

Those comments are funny.  Nothing better than Viking angst to put a smile on my face.

[Chili]

and now the Vikes waived Moss.

Is it possible that the Vikings just passed the Vikings as the biggest joke in the NFL?

Well played.

A 3rd round pick...only to waive him a month later. 

Consensus, indeed. 

Jerry Jones would like to thank the Vikings for taking the attention away from his team.

[NavinRJohnson]

oops. that was supposed to say Cowboys, but it probably works either way.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Tedi Bruschi (sp?) just said that if you are a team with a full grown man as your head coach and your players play hard every play than you want Moss on your team.  Nice rip on Childress.

[tower912]

Maybe he can finally live his youthful dream and go play basketball in Turkey with Iverson.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

I think it would be hilarious if he went backwards through waivers and no one claimed him until the Patriots pick.  Patriots grab him off waivers and finish the season with Moss and a 3rd round pick.  But I think the Dolphins, Raiders and/or Seahawks claim him first.

Also said Favre was in control in Minnesota and Jerry Jones in Dallas, not the coaches.  Thats why they are losers.

Absolutely agree on both counts.

[wadesworld]

Absolutely agree on both counts.

Same.  There's no question at all about that.  Bruschi's just speaking the truth.

Bucks fans did a bag night revolt. Not a ton of people, but I would say 2 dozen.
It didn't force the firing of both the GM and Head Coach, which did happen very soon after, but it at least got the attention of the Senator.

The CONSENSUS joke of the NFL is at it again...

[GOMU1104]

This is fun.  Couldn't happen to a more deserving organization, coaching staff, fanbase.

Packers set to go into the bye at 6-3...things are starting to come together nicely.

Let's hope so.  I keep thinking that this could be a major letdown week.  Coming out of a huge win at New York I keep thinking we could overlook Dallas this week and take this as a 2 week long bye and somehow get beat at home by a Romo-less Dallas team.  I mean, Dallas still has quite a bit of talent on their roster.  And Romo is one of the most overrated players in the NFL.  They're bound to get hot for one game this year.  This is a team that was projected to go to the Super Bowl at the start of the year.  I will be happy only if the clock reads 0:00 and the Packers have won.  It could be ugly or it could be pretty, 9-0 or 28-7, I don't care...just get to 6-3 and get to the bye.  Rest up the defensive players who have been overworking completely due to all of the injuries.

Trust me, you have NOTHING to lose.  Talent or not, this team is devoid of anything remotely representative of a football team.  No pride, no discipline, and lack of talent in the secondary means a HUGE Packers win.

Good to see, I guess, ... that Marquette isn't the only team of Chicos' that he/she totally sh1ts on.

This.

The Cowboys are in rough shape. The "talent" that everyone drools about is overrated. Jon Freaking Kitna is their QB. The last time Kitna won as a starter in the NFL...2007 as a member of the Detroit Lions, a week 16 triumph over the then woeful Kansas City Chiefs.

I am not someone who is going to sit here and say "oooooo beware of the letdown, trap game, blah blah blah." They Cowboys are terrible. This should be a boat race.

[ATWizJr]

the Vikings.  Fleeced by the Patriots with an assist to....themselves.  Laughingstocks in purple socks.

I don't sh1t on Marquette, Jay Bee, some people just can't understand objective criticism now and again.  By the way, where have your Purple and Gold glasses gotten you this year?

Peace.

[MUBurrow]

what were the terms of Chilly's new deal this past offseason?

[SaintPaulWarrior]

what were the terms of Chilly's new deal this past offseason?

Actually he was extended on Nov 19, 2009 after they started the season 8-1.

The Minnesota Vikings signed Brad Childress to a contract extension that will keep the coach with the team through the 2013 season, a source told ESPN.com Thursday.

Financial terms weren't immediately available but the deal is believed to be between $4 million and $5 million a year, the source said.
