Opening the roof over the new home of the Minnesota Vikings would have forced planners of the $975 million project to eliminate some of the fancy features. So the team, the public agency in charge of the stadium and the architects designing it literally saw the light. The yet-to-be-named multipurpose facility will have a translucent roof and moveable front windows. Bryan Trubey, the lead architect for the project for the Dallas-based HKS Sports and Entertainment Group, presented images to a crowd of fans, public officials and members of the Vikings organization Monday night. The event took place at the Guthrie Theater, a few blocks from where the stadium will be built in downtown Minneapolis. [Continue Reading]
My first reaction is: if this Stadium was going up in Southern California it’d be the most badass stadium ever built. It’s in Minnesota. Most of Football is played in the winter. Something just doesn’t add up here. With that said, the design looks unreal. These stadiums are incredible these days. Incredible

Some of these like Derek Jeter and Joe Mauer are pretty obvious. Others like the Padres, Astros, etc. are not so obvious. Do Yankees fans even want to think about life without Jeter? I’m sure this period is tolerable because they know he’s coming back.

Saw this on TerezOwens the other day. Clearly, Cam Newton believes his value as a human being is more than it actually is – this point is proved when he cruises past some chick and she absolutely stones him. Makes me wish I was in Southern California on the beach though…

Lennay Kekua may never have been real but she is still hot, apparently. The fake girlfriend of Manti Te’o appeared, sort of, at No. 69 on Maxim’s annual “Hot 100 List.” Ranked between Victoria’s Secret model Anne V. (68) and swimsuit model Nina Agdal (70), Kekua was selected because “she’s got a ton of great qualities, including looking awesome in a bikini.” Rather than running a picture of Diane O’Meara, who was unknowingly the face of Kekua before Deadspin unraveled the hoax, Maxim opted to feature a black bikini floating over an inviting beach scene. [Continue Reading]
You’ve got to give Lennay some credit. I mean beating out Nina Agdal and finishing right behind Victoria Secret model Anne V. is one helluva an achievement. You can hit this link to see the entire list. Still don’t agree with the Miley Cyrus #1 pick and Taylor Swift #13. Come on, man. I’d take Blake Lively or Ashley Greene any day of the week over those two. Congrats to Lennay!
Mariano Rivera said this week that he would be back in the outfield at Kauffman Stadium on Friday, shagging balls just like he always has. It was on this field that Rivera suffered his torn ACL just over a year ago, leaving him crumpled on the warning track in left-center field writhing in pain. When Rivera hit the field for batting practice Friday, some of his teammates had posted a large sign on the outfield wall that read: “NO MO ZONE” and had a picture of two stop signs on it, one reading “ALTO” and the other “STOP.” Below the sign? A chalk outline of a body around the area where Rivera lay last May 2 and the number 42 next to it. [Continue Reading]

Members of the Denver Broncos stopped by to see Wednesday night’s Yankees-Rockies game at Coors Field. During the Root Sports broadcast, cameras began asking Broncos’ offensive lineman Orlando Franklin about the game because it was his first baseball game. Ever. Anyway, while Franklin is being interviewed — and Manning and the other Broncos are enjoying cocktails — Decker sneaks around and ruthlessly pies the offensive lineman. Funny, sure, but Franklin is 6’7″ and 330. We wouldn’t want to be around when he decides to get even. [Continue Reading]
Is Peyton Manning not the best dude to have on your team? The guy busts his ass, but also likes to have fun. You can just see the mischievous grin on his face as Franklin is about to get pied. The best part is how he grabbed Eric Decker as if he was a little rag doll. I actually got nervous for him for a second.
