Purple Jesus Diaries

We’re continuing a weekly feature where we fill space by bringing you the best and greatest links from around the interwebs in the last week. Some may have to do with Vikings football. Most probably won’t, though. ...

I’ve made no reservations about my appreciation and love for the Cincinnati Bengals and Chad Ochocinco. I alluded to this back in the Cardinals game preview and I stand by it. Part of the allure historically has always been because of Ocho, The Black Mexican. ...

Note: While I almost threw up because of a mixture of a weak stomach and sickening feeling for Mr. Henderson, this article is by no means here to poke fun at EJ’s injury. Rather, it’s to note that EJ is a total badass, and I’m like 1000% certain this is what’s going through his head right now …

Now we know how Tiger’s SUV felt: Yikes. That wasn’t even remotely fun to watch. After going into this weekend feeling pretty good about themselves, what with Warner potentially sitting out with a concussion, ...

Watch as the two oldest quarterbacks EVER square off: Come one, come all, but don’t come on me, as the two grayest quarterbacks in the NFL square off in what is bound to be a slow paced game full of missing dentures, broken walkers, and forgetting the plays being called! ...

Former player and Minnesota Vikings head coach from 1961 to 1966, Norman Van Brocklin has a unique view on the team. When you’re, like, 97 years old or whateverand dead you tend to have seen a lot of things in your time. ...

Don’t get me wrong, I still love crapping on Chicago regardless: I was just expecting more Cutler fuck ups. I mean, it still doesn’t get much better than shutting that pompous ass of a sports town up with an absolute dismantling in a late afternoon game to the tune of 36-10. ...

Ok everyone, back to work! Enough of this lazy time spent stuffing your fat face with turkey and bread, and sometime turkey, gravy, bread, cranberry relish and sweet potatoes all at once. You’re fat enough already, muffin top. ...

Holy Christ, am I full. I might have eaten an entire turkey and maaaayyyybe spent a full moon cycle in the bathroom checking Twitter and prepping myself for dessert. I tried something different this Thanksgiving. ...
