Mike Hughes buys his mother a house

For every troubling story about NFL player misconduct, there are plenty of stories about the good things players do.

Vikings rookie cornerback Mike Hughes did something good for his mother, buying her a house immediately after signing his first NFL contract.

“Made that promise a long time ago,” Hughes said on Twitter. “You deserve it mama!!”

Hughes, who joins one of the best defenses in the NFL, could eventually be able to afford another house or two or more, if he performs at the level the Vikings expect. Off-field concerns caused him to slide to the bottom of the around; on talent alone, he would have gone much earlier. (PFT)

 

I too read about his off-field concerns just hope he's not another pac-man ( let it rain knucklehead ) jones

 

New Vikings offense could mean new heights for Kyle Rudolph...

The guy who once was named the Pro Bowl MVP could be heading for an All-Pro season.

Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, a consistently solid performer since joining the Vikings via round two of the 2011 draft, could be on the verge of a major increase in production. As noted by Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune in a column that takes a close look at the team’s tight end depth chart for 2018, new offensive coordinator John DeFillippo’s history suggests a very bright future for Rudolph.

“What [DeFilippo] was able to do in 2015 with [Browns tight end] Gary Barnidge, and then obviously last year [Zach] Ertz had an unbelievable year in this system,” Rudolph said, via Krammer. “It’s not just us. Obviously, he’s had great success with tight ends. What he is able to do with all the playmakers and all of the chess pieces that we have on offense, it’s been a lot of fun to see.”

Beyond Rudolph, the team’s other tight ends will need to be ready to contribute. Per Krammer, Eagles third-stringer Trey Burton nevertheless took 300 snaps last year. Vikings No. 3 tight end Blake Bell, in contrast, had less than half that amount.

Bell will need to fend off rookie Tyler Conklin to have a chance to be the No. 3 option again this year. At the top of the depth chart, however, there’s no question that Rudolph is the guy. And Rudolph could end up topping his career year of 83 catches for 840 yards and seven touchdowns in 2016. (PFT)

 

Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano dies at 56...

Tony Sparano, the Vikings’ offensive line coach and former head coach of the Dolphins and Raiders, has died at the age of 56.

The Vikings announced Sparano’s death on Sunday afternoon. KSTP reports that Sparano died this morning at his home.

“Our hearts go out to Jeanette and the entire Sparano family as we all mourn the loss of Tony,” Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf said in a statement. “Tony was a passionate and driven individual who cared deeply about his family, and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Tony’s presence within the Vikings organization will be deeply missed. We are only thinking of Tony’s family during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that the entire NFL and Vikings family keep the Sparanos in their thoughts.”

Sparano grew up in Connecticut, played college football at the University of New Haven and then began his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater in 1984. He later became the head coach at New Haven in 1994 and stayed there five seasons, including taking the team to the NCAA Division II championship game in 1997.

From there Sparano became an assistant coach in Cleveland, then Washington, Jacksonville and Dallas. He was hired by his longtime friend and boss Bill Parcells to be the Dolphins’ head coach in 2008. In his first season as a head coach, Sparano engineered an incredible turnaround, taking over a Dolphins team that had gone 1-15 the year before and going to the playoffs with an 11-5 record. However, Sparano never again had a winning record in three more seasons with the Dolphins and one partial season as interim head coach of the Raiders.

He is survived by his wife, three children and four grandchildren.

 

RIP GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY it's a reminder tomorrow is not promised to no one

 

Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano has died at the age of 56, less then a week before the opening of training camp. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer and G.M. Rick Spielman have issued statements in the wake of Sparano’s passing.

“I love Tony Sparano,” Zimmer said . “He was a great teacher, a grinder of a worker and had a toughness and fighting spirit that showed in our linemen. He was a great husband, father and grandfather and a great friend to me. This is just sinking in for us but Tony will be sorely missed by all.”

“I am at a loss for words with Tony’s sudden passing,” Spielman added. “Tony loved the game of football and his players. More importantly, he was a strong man of faith who treasured his family. My heart is with the Sparanos today. As an organization we will support them in whatever ways we can.”

Sparano became the offensive line coach in Minnesota two years ago. He served as head coach of the Dolphins and interim head coach of the Raiders.

 

Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano died Sunday due to heart disease, a medical examiner has concluded.

Via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, the Hennepin County medical examiner specifically has concluded that Sparano suffered from arteriosclerotic heart disease. The condition results from the clogging of the arteries by plaque in the bloodstream.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen previously reported that Sparano, 56, went to the hospital last Thursday complaining of chest pains, and that he was released on Friday following tests.

Sparano previously served as head coach of the Miami Dolphins. He worked as interim coach of the Raiders in 2014. Sparano had completed two seasons as the Vikings’ offensive line coach.

 

as Sweet Amazing and Awesome as life can be,it can be equally as terrifying the many ways you can die suddenly

 

There are no guarantees on how long you will live. Living healthier should help, but not always. Living unhealthy should hurt, but not always either. I don’t have a clue how your lifespan is decided, but I do know we aren’t the ones deciding.

 

Now that's true i know some people that eat unhealthy and nothing....or there really good at hiding how they feel

 

Oh man I just read that Bud Grant son Bruce Grant has passed away RIP he had brain cancer I had a brother that died he had a cancerous brain tumor,enough of the bad and sad news...TIME TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY LIFE!!

 

So sad indeed... sorry for your brother.

 

The Vikings signed undrafted center J.P. Quinn on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports. They waived tight end Josiah Price in a corresponding move.

Quinn started all 13 games last season for Central Michigan. He made 11 starts at center, one at right guard and one at left guard.

Price, 25, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State last year. The Vikings waived him before the start of the season.

He had re-signed with the Vikings in March.

 

You now have official L4SN/Vikings bling... wear it proudly !!!
