Though the Vikings swung and missed on the guy who would have been their quarterback for the 2009 season, they’ve lassoed a large man who might finally fill the void at right tackle created eight years ago by the passing of Korey Stringer.
The team has announced that right tackle Phil Loadholt has agreed to a rookie deal.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
But we assume he’s making enough money to finally afford a house with a big enough toilet for his 343-pound frame.
UPDATE: PFT’s Aaron Wilson reports that the four-year deal includes $1.675 million in total guaranteed money. It has a maximum total value of $3.44 million, including a $1.2 million signing bonus, according to a league source.
So with this Load, does this mean the *”Superbowl caliber” Hypequeens no longer need Favre?
*Note for future reference for you Queen fans:
“Superbowl caliber” = teams that actually make it to the Superbowl
Have fun as the new laughingstock of the league…

You couldn’t make anymore of a classless comment, could you.
Go back to work at the fireworks and cheese shop Dewey.
Super Bowl is two words

And sentences, like your menstraul cycle, should end with a period.
“But we assume he’s making enough money to finally afford a house with a big enough toilet for his 343-pound frame.”
Kind of gives new meaning at his house when the word “Super Bowl” comes up.

+++++++++++
First off, Loadholt is the Vikes second round pick and a damn good pick at that so YES they would sign him because they need him.
Second, Vikes made it into the post-season (lets not forget winning their Division) which means they are within striking distance of a Super Bowl berth so yes I would consider the Vikings a Super Bowl (2 words now) caliber team.
Third, laughingstock of the league? Really? Vikings are the laughing stock behind the Lions, Rams, Raiders, and Chiefs? Tell you what, go back and see what last years stats had to say, think about this for a bit, and then just stop posting on here.
I’m sorry, but didn’t Korey Stringer play left tackle?
Was there a reason to bring up Korey Stringer? I’m pretty sure they’ve had SOMEONE playing right tackle since he died.
“Menstrual”, of course…
Hey Dewey, do use a favor and cut your head off.
The name Loadholt kinda does fit the clogged toilet theme.

Must be a new definition of caliber. As far as being the laughing stock of the league that could not be a dumber statement.I take it you must cheer for another team in the NFC . Do you watch many games or follow any other teams than the one that is on the underwear your mom bought you?If you think the Vikes are a laughing stock I would like to know what the Lions,Raiders,Bengals ect… are called.
HaHa… good one dewey… but it’s menstrual.
@kotapug
…so all teams suck except for the Cards and Steelers???
@kotapug
my bad… I @ the wrong person.
@ZNorseman -
Stringer played right tackle — Todd Steussie played left tackle for most of the time (I believe) while Stringer was on the right.
The laughingstock of the league? Really? Over a retired QB on a team that went 10-6, won the division and made the playoffs? I’m pretty sure there are a few fans of other teams that would love to have this “laughingstock” to root for.
@kotapug
…my bad, I @ the wrong person
@kostecky
No Prob
Oh. My. God. you horn-blowers are f*cking HILARIOUS!!
I love how you can’t even @ each other properly.
You are the laughing stocks right now because of the way Favre pulled out on you, yet leaving his man-mess all over your “coach”, your entire franchise, your players, and your fanbase…
THAT’S what’s made you the laughing stock…
Among a trillion other things, including but not limited to:
failure to sell out a home playoff game in the homodome, 4 lost Superb Owls (how’s that?), the Love Boat, the Wizzinator, that member of the Village People known as Jared Allen, your coach scalping tickets, Star Caps, signing a kid who pis$ed hot AT THE COMBINE, having a guy run the wrong way on the field, having Childo as a coach, being shipped to L.A….
need I go on?
Stats, schmats.
You guys crack me up–win the division once this DECADE and you think you own the universe.
Keep opening up wide and saying “ahhh” for all that off-season hype–it’s only going to get you right back to where it ALWAYS does:
Disappointmentville.
Dummy Arsehole,
A much more fitting moniker for your sorry arse, especially given that you haven’t had any dewey axewound since your mom’s maggot-infested axewound had you.

Please see that post. That’s funny stuff. I don’t mean that sarcastically. I’m a Viking fan but I hear my “boys” say that all the time. A lot of it is true. Within it, is fuzzy. Some Viking fans need to check themselves. We’re fans for many reasons and one is the love of the underdog (unless you’re M. Vick) and maybe we’ll have our day. The Vikings haven’t done shit for years. 15-1 is still a non super bowl winning team. The Vikings are the Bills until otherwise proven. (someone will have some stat)
