The Vikings paid Josh Freeman a total of $3 million for his services for the months of October, November, and December. Tampa Bay paid him just over $8 million to leave their organization. Not a bad year's "work," eh?

Sorry, fs4l, but the news media has gobbled up this story about the Vikings from the get-go. Kluwe has been more than vocal about wanting a certain Vikings coached fired and basically banned from coaching in the NFL again. Plus a $10 million lawsuit to boot to teach the Vikings a lesson? All while playing the "comedian" regarding having been a Penn State victim? Total hypocrite.

Freeman signed a one-year deal with the Giants in April but was released about six weeks later. He is currently without a team.

...at holding the clipboard and signaling in plays.

http://www.si.com/nhl/2014/07/22/open-meeting-violation-could-force-coyotes-to-leave-arizona?xid=nl_siextra Uh oh...those new Arizona Coyotes jerseys might be collector items sooner than you think!

I like how the apostrophe differentiates that brand from the Minnesota North Stars...

I'm pretty sure Fetch was being facetious.

So Chris Kluwe wants $10 million dollars because of comments allegedly made by a coach...but a simple apology for THIS is all he can muster up? Is his 15 minutes up yet? http://www.si.com/nf...suit-penn-state

What the heck is this about Vanek and gambling?

A Sioux hockey legend indeed. Rest in peace, Dr. May.

Heeeeeey-ooohhhhhhhhh!

Findlay is irrelevant...but no way the loonies on what will make up the nickname committee will allow a fossil-fuel non-environmentally friendly nickname to be the winner. This is a better example of what we'll see... http://m.espn.go.com/wnba/story?storyId=3210695&src=desktop

I don't know how RHHiT can even say that with a straight face. It's an "honor" to be called a "Rough Rider" and be recognized for your courage and bravery but an insult to be called "Fighting Sioux" and be recognized for your courage and bravery. HUH?

The Franklin Elementary 5th grade boys have submitted "Kung-Fu Ninja Kings" as their nickname choice...and were immediately countered by the girls in the class voting for "Snuggly Baby Kitty Cats." In a related story, anti-Sioux nickname groups have released a statement of support for the girls' submission - claiming it better reflects the diversity and culture of the UND community. They have also called on GF Public School officials asking them to order the boys to attend cultural diversity classes.

Wee-ooh...wee-ooh...wee-ooh...here come the PC cops! Soooo offensive!

Yup x 1000! Be prepared for the University of North Dakota Fluttering Monarch Butterflies or Environmentally Friendly Sparkly Unicorns. You are absolutely dreaming if you think Rough Riders, Green Knights, Warriors, Spartans, Nordics, or any other seemingly "war-mongering" name has a chance in this nickname charade. And for the love of Christmas, if we're the Rhymin' Simons and go with North Dakota Nokota, I'll pee my pants in front of 10,000 other fans next time I step foot in REA.

http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/99560-long-beach-state-drops-49ers-emphasizes-beach/ I could deal with "The Beach" but just "Beach"? What the double-eff?

It's suddenly not without precedent as the Long Beach State 49'ers have announced that they are effectively dropping their nickname and will just be known as "Beach." I kid you not.

No way! That nose is totally real.

Jersey foul? I see no foul here.

It's still on the table for discussion...

Actually, that would be UND Goons...no apostrophe. Unless you like to call your favorite team the Boston Bruin's?

http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2014/07/15/san-jose-sharks-ice-girls-uniforms-controversy As opposed to the outfits NFL cheerleaders wear?

Well, this is the 2013-2014 season thread...season's over so there's not much to talk about other than Trek bikes, duck hunting, NASCAR vs Indy car, LeBron James, and why Milan Lucic is such a whiny baby...

Hey, I just stopped by the non-UND college hockey thread to see how things were going...I guess there's nothing to see here, so I'll move along.
