Maybe the Vikings just want to win a Super Bowl?
We are about three years away from knowing who picked well and who picked poorly in the draft over the weekend. But it is not too soon to identify some winners and losers who might have escaped your attention.
Winners: Dope smokers.
The fact that wide receiver Percy Harvin failed a drug test at the combine did not prevent the Vikings from taking him in the first round. The Patriots took another player who reportedly failed the drug test at the combine, wide receiver Brandon Tate, in the third.
And at least three other players who were first-round picks failed drug tests at their respective colleges, according to multiple NFL front-office sources.
One personnel executive said he believes the use of marijuana is so widespread among college players that NFL teams have become numb to failed drug tests. NFL teams, it seems, are only alarmed about marijuana smokers if they are failing drug tests once they are in the league.
Could it be that NFL teams are finally looking into the quality of the player and not the quality of his urine? I’ve heard reports that during the NFL Draft show on ESPN, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remarked that the league shouldn’t even be testing for marijuana. Maybe since the winning Super Bowl touchdown pass has been caught the past two years by a stoner (PIT Santonio Holmes, NYG Plaxico Burress), the Vikings have a lock on Super Bowl XLIV?

Funny how Plaxico Burress was with the Steelers too. I hear the Steelers got the easiest schedule this season. I think the steelers got it in the bag this season too! GO STEELERS!
Yeah, Fran was da man. That guy was fun to watch. Even in recent days watching Moss’s first few years were a real treat. Then they couldn’t get past Atlanta due to a missed field goal…tisk.
@Moldy I have two words for you, “Fran Tarkington”
(for those of us “moldy” enough to remember the salad days of the NFL)
I dare say I don’t think even my swift, stoner Gator brethren, Percy
“Go Gators” Harvin, can save the Vikes. He said “do they have a good quarternack?” after he was chosen. 
Yeah, right….
However, I will be interested to see him play and when they play
I will be rooting with my good friend Ed from Milwaukee for the best team:
Russ, I’ll stick my neck out now and say THE VIKINGS WILL NOT WIN A SUPER BOWL while I’m alive.
I’ve watched those bastards through every season and super bowl since ’72 and it just ain’t gonna happen! A Viking super bowl victory is more elusive than legalized pot!
