CC Snubbed Again

I’ve been too depressed with football to blog lately. Some notables since the last update:

*New Head Coach of the St. Louis Rams, Steve Spagnuolo hired Vikes Special Teams Coach, Ray Ferraro as a Linebackers Coach. This is great news, the Vikes special teams was a complete joke last year. It was the worst in the NFL. Of course, Chilly didn’t have the gall to fire his buddy, by Spagnuolo helped us out!

*Darren Sharper appears to be done as a Viking. This also is great news. Sharper was great in his prime, but his prime ended two years ago.

*Vikes Defensive Coordinator, Les Frazier interviewed for a number of Head Coaching positions, but was not hired. Frazier will once again be running the defense in Minnesota next year. This is also good news.

*Adrian Peterson was named the FedEx Ground Player of the Year. He led the NFL in rushing with 1,760 yards. Purple Jesus ran for over 100 yards in 10 games in 2008.

HALL OF FAME
Good news first, longtime Vikings guard Randall McDaniel was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame today. McDaniel is very deserving of this honor as he was a Pro Bowler for 12 of his 14 years in the NFL. Congrats to him!

The bad news is that somehow for the second year in a row, Cris Carter was snubbed. Carter is an eight time Pro Bowler with 1,101 career receptions for 13,899 yards and 130 career touchdowns. It is CRAZY that he was not elected.

CC is third All-Time in receptions and he is the only wide receiver ever to have over 120 receptions twice. Carter helped lead the Minnesota Vikings to two NFC Championship games and he mentored Randy Moss. Carter and Moss are arguably the best duo EVER to play receiver together in the NFL.

All Cris Carter does is get first downs and score touchdowns. CC is very deserving of the Hall of Fame and he has to get in next year.

Oh yeah, the Super Bowl is tomorrow. Who cares?!?
