This jersey is of no use to us now.

The Vikings are going to cut ties with all of their free-agents and that means Mewelde Moore is on his way out of Minnesota. The worst part about this is the fact that we are the proud owners of a Mewelde Moore Vikings jersey and now...well...the jersey is pretty much useless.

Some would argue that the jersey wasn't worth much when Moore was on the team, but we beg to differ. Moore was a kick returning genius and could have been used as a great 3rd down and change-of-pace back, but he somehow found his way into the doghouse of the Vikings coaching staff and now he's just another former Vikings running back who never lived up to what he could have been.

This Moore jersey, by the way, is the first football jersey we have owned since the Vikings road Joe Senser jersey back in the 1980's. We have a feeling another Vikings jersey won't be purchased until they find a real quarterback or a tight end who can actually catch 85-100 balls in a season. If Bryant McKinnie is finally put in jail, we might get a jersey of his too, just to say we own one.

The rumor of the day is that the Vikings plan to talk to Cleo Lemon about being their back-up quarterback. The team cut ties with Kelly Holcomb today, which isn't a bad thing -- but why in the world would the Vikings want Cleo Lemon? Ugh...the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thank God the Twins are in spring training.

Also, Dwight Smith signed with the Lions and of course Troy Williamson was traded to the Jags. Mike Tice must feel like he owes him something since he selected him 7th overall. Putz.
