Hi kids!
We made it. WE MADE IT! Football is back, as the Vikings take on the Cincinnati Bengals tonight, starting at 6:30. Even though it's 'just pre-season', and most of us will be itching for the regular season to get here about the time Joel Stave takes the field tonight, pre-season games are valuable for a lot of different reasons. It gives the coaches game tape to evaluate, it gives players that are fighting for a roster spot a chance to step up or step back, and it gives us something to talk about other than practice and even joint practices with the Bengals.
