Things that i find uninteresting:
anything to do with twitter. who cares what some player says?
Pretty boys or girls who are assigned NFL coverage but know nothing of football
Any show on NFL network except immediate post game highlights
any nfl show on ESPN
any player's political views
any top ten list
any nfl power poll
any who's the greatest list
Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft
53 man roster projections this time of year
any predictions
any mock draft besides Mayock's

Things i do find interesting:
Tom Pelissero
Peter King's MMQB column
Albert Breer's column every Thursday on mmqb.com
data on overthecap.com
Bucky Brook's scout notebook on nfl.com

The most disappointed people if Vikings ever win Super Bowl:
any Packer fan
Dan Barreiro
Pat Reusse
Judd Zulgad

Good post OP! 

Agree with most of it...I don't get too riled by the local, ink-stained wretches. And as wretched as they can be, too many members here whine about em imo.

Vikings and players bring a lot of this on themselves. 

Been a bumbling franchise for too long. I think they've dropped behind the Lions in the division too.

I'm waiting for the next window of a run. Been too long since Moss and gang were here, which was really the last time we had some sustained success.

Lol Kentis...Hey, it's how I feel, just putting it out there. Still on the bandwagon, but 40 years is too long in between SB's...

I like some of the player twitters.  Some past players are really good - like Geoff Schwatz.  

Have you every followed Diggs on Snap.  OMG seems so self centered. Most are of him getting a daily haircut.

I like Mock Drafts - particularly the ones that take 40+ mocks and roll them up.

I just hope Treadwell can show us something this year. I would be seriously upset if we wasted a mid first round pick on him. We'll see I guess.
