vike daddy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Randy Moss got all geared up Thursday, but it wasn't in pads and a football helmet. Rather, the Pro Football Hall of Famer donned swim trunks and a khaki bucket hat as he joined 350 students from Florida nonprofit organizations for the 13th annual World's Largest Swimming Lesson. The event took place at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park at Walt Disney World Resort. Moss: "We want you to know how important it is for you to be able to swim, understand what water safety means. They're here to have fun. What do they say [about Disney]? Dreams do come true here. The kids are coming and they're seeing Mickey, they're seeing Minnie, and then they're getting a swim lesson at the same time. Plus, Florida is hot, and they get to play in the water. I love being a part of something like this. Safety on the water is most important." https://www.vikings.com/news/randy-moss-disney-largest-swimming-lesson?fbclid=IwAR32Tu-LmnsLJAuVfye4E_k7_KshOzIj99ocklYeJrGVdcEEmkRq7fU_zeA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's open to playing, but someone would need to be willing to sign him...and I can't see that happening outside of an injury situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 former Viking exec Kevin Warren is commissioner of the Big Ten and has now scored UCLA and USC in to joining the conference? what manner of wizardry is this...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It was a gift that they dropped on his doorstep...it's not really anything he did. They could see the writing on the wall that the Pac-12 was falling behind in media money, so they were looking to jump ship. Since the B1G and the SEC are the big honchos in media money, it only made sense for them to call up Kevin, since they'd be far better fits there. Eventually, the B1G and SEC will be just the Power 2, and then you'll have the Big 12, Pac (10 or 12 or whatever) and ACC at another level, then everyone else.

Random draw. Chips fall where they may. Alabama might play Clemson, ND, USC, FSU in one year. They might play Purdue, Coastal Carolina, SMU and Memphis another. Far better than knowing that only 6 teams from the top 2 conferences have a realistic shot each year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably hasn't been more than 6 having a realistic shot any year of our lifetimes. College football has been rigged for only a handful of teams ever. If they go to a "pod" system in each of the larger conferences, that may give some teams a shot they've never had in the current system.

Jim Marshall is why I became a Vikings fan. he was a DE like no one else at the time, or before him. DE's then were all about power and strength, which he had, but he was also fast and athletic with great technique. like Jared Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
