I am sick to my stomach. There was a brief blurb on the local news here... there is a slight possibility that the state legislature could push the stadium issue to 2012... one month BEFORE the Vikings stadium lease is up.

I guess it won't matter after December 21st, 2012... the world ends that day anyways. lol

I hope the Vikings figure it out. As much as I hate them for the rivalry, this seems to increase the chance they could get moved to LA, which I would hate more. At least the people of MN care about football.

are they the only team that would get moved to LA?
Or does LA have it's sights on other teams?
And how did this rumor of Vikings moving to LA get started?
