Here is a funny article from a recent visit to the Minneapolis Star Tribune website. It’s actually a quite harmless article, but the first sentence struck me as hilarious.

“With the NFL draft behind them, the next item of business for the Minnesota Vikings is selecting the team’s cheerleading squad for the 2008 season.”

Well, I’m sure Vikings fans every where are relieved that the next item of business will not be signing free agents, undrafted rookies, or the players they picked in the draft. No, the next thing to tackle will not be organizing spring practice or re-examining the playbook. Nor will the next important item be going over the off season training program or evaluating player performance from last season. No, all that stuff can wait. Right now, cheerleader selection takes the front and center spotlight for the Minnesota Vikings organization.
