Vikings to buy 4 blocks by Dome
In a story Star Tribune Writers Mike Kaszuba and Paul Levy, dated June 15, 2007 – It was indicated that Viking Owner Zygi Wilf has "tentatively agreed to buy four city blocks for $45 million from Avista Capital Partners, owners of the Star Tribune, as part of a broader plan to build a football stadium and develop surrounding land in downtown Minneapolis."
If true, it looks like the diehard tailgaters might have a dream season, tailgating within walking distance of the Metrodome again for the 2007 season. Another possible sloution, might be Matt Birk's "Matty B's" restaurant, who may be in negotiations to offer up the lot at his location to be part of the Vikings official tailgating lot for 2007. Nothing is confirmed at this point, but stay tuned for further tailgating developments soon.

U.S. Population: Not Qualified to Have Opinions, Bloggers Need to Logout
CHICAGO (AP)
In a surprising refutation of the conventional wisdom on opinion entitlement, a study conducted by the University of Chicago's School for Behavioral Science concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.
"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party conversations compiled over a three-year period. "While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them."
In 2002, Fultz's team shook the academic world by conclusively proving the existence of both bad ideas during brainstorming and dumb questions during question-and-answer sessions.
