Brock Lesnar
So is this a sign that WWE star Lesnar has indeed made an NFL roster?
http://vikingmerchandise.com/vikings...9&cat=9&page=2 or is it just a shrewd marketing move?

Shrewd? How many more people are going to watch the Vikings because they have a wrassler sitting on the bench? It would be a meathead move by Tice if he kept Lesnar for any reason other than his ability to stop the run.

I don't understand what would motivate someone to be a WWE fan... so I'm unqualified to comment about what would motivate a WWE fan to buy a football jersey with the name of a benchwarming "star" on the back.

Supposedly word is that he will not make the roster and is not likely to grab a practice squad spot. The dirt on him has been that he obviously has exceptional athletic skills and good size and speed but he is struggling on the finer points like technique(as should be expected). Apparently he made tons of progress early on but is now sorta stuck making the same mistakes repeatedly. He definitly WILL NOT make the roster.

I thought I heard he was already cut.
I doubt he'll even make a practice squad, but we'll see. |

Let's be honest here. There is a difference between a true bench-warmer and bench-warmer that has a level of celebrity that of Brock Lesnar's. There is a siginificant wrestling following here and in Canada (close to Minnesota) and I imagine they'll sell a boatload of these.
You think they'll have a Deion jersey when he makes his comeback? I bet they will and then we'll need to ask why they have a jersey for a slow-ass, no-tackle, show-boat nickleback who probably will get torched. |

Can you believe he gave up a 7 year $45 million WWE contract to play football?
