The Williams Wall in tact and Brett at the helm with AP ready to explode awesome. This makes a Viking fan very happy.
Its nice to know that courts can tell people how to run their businesses. Whats next a court setting tax rates? A court disbanding the Boy Scouts?
What can’t a court do these days?
It's against league rules to vote for Al Franken?
