I'm getting too old for the internet So Bleacher Report = no good?

It's basically 14 year olds "writing articles."

For whatever reason, of most articles i read about the Vikings, very few bring up the stadium issue.

I have no doubt that Zygi Wilf wants to win a Super Bowl simply for the pure joy of winning a title. The guy has been willing to spend a lot even though the Queens rank low in team revenues largely because of the baggy dump they play in. He strikes as one of those very involved sports owners who desperately wants to win.

That said, the Metrodome not only is a dump to play in, the team gets way less revenues out of it compared to most other teams. With the economy bad, it's been a huge struggle to get help building a new stadium for the Vikings. A Super Bowl berth and maybe even title could potentially provide the excitement to help on the stadium issue. Wilf knows this.

So with Favre in likely his last season and no young Aaron Rodgers type of potential young franchise QB on the roster, Wilf has signed off on or maybe even ordered an all in approach to this season because it's likely his last chance in the immediate future to get a Super Bowl berth that might in turn help in his desperate hopes for a new stadium. Hard for me to blame him since he sincerely seems to want to keep the team in Minnesota vs taking extra money to move the team elsewhere.

For a bleacher report article, it was actually insightful. 90% of the articles are garbage on that site. It's amazing reading some bio's. I remember a poster showing this article about college rankings and saying his team was ranked in the top 25. I looked up the author and it was a 20 year old in college who was serious in pursuing a career in journalism, no credentials, no primary sources, just his feelings......So basically, his article had the same weight as anyone else on the message.
