To say last year was a disaster for the Minnesota Vikings is certainly an understatement.

What started out as Super Bowl aspirations, turned out to be a three-ring circus resulting in a 6-10 record.

But one good thing about the NFL is the fact there is a new season every year — although not quite guaranteed as the lockout almost wiped out America’s favorite past time.

So the 2010 season can be looked upon as water under the bridge, along with several of the main forces who made it into the Vikings’ first losing season in quite some time.

Those who pass under that bridge and into Viking history include lead ringmaster head coach Brad Childress, who was fired just past midway through the season and replaced by current head coach Leslie Frazier.

The preseason carnival of wooing now-retired Brett Favre is also a history notation.

The Vikings finally addressed their quarterback situation for the future by selecting Florida State’s Christian Ponder. But even that selection was tainted a little by the offseason-long NFL lockout, which forced the Vikings to go out and get a more reliable veteran QB in Donovan McNabb, because there would be no way a rookie quarterback could take over the reins in a matter of weeks to prepare.

But other than the acquisition of McNabb, the Vikings’ offseason additions have been underwhelming.

Just recently, another hole was created with the dismissal of 10-year left tackle starter Bryant McKinnie.

Man, what a disappointing finish to McKinnie’s Viking career, as the already mammoth tackle from the University of Miami came into camp a bit bloated — as in nearly 400-pounds of bloat.

Rollin' with Nick Cannon: Nasty Noises In the Bedroom!

I understand that you’re “freaky deeky” and I appreciate it because so am I. But c’mon… you don’t ask someone if you can suck on their toes on the first go round – nor do you ask a woman to “tell you what your name is.” Listen, my friend, If she’s really feeling you… you won’t have to worry about telling her to say your name because the whole damn neighborhood will know!

Sarah Lee’s hates it when a guy acts way too soft and emotional, and Nick is that wild guy saying all the things that I’m telling you not to!

Me? I just have this audio clip from the show this morning that went real wild because Sarah Lee and Nick simply don’t have ability to hold back their thoughts on the subject!

Mad funny, check it out!!!
