Sunday night amplified that. The Vikings might have watched Eli Manning and Tom Brady throw bullets inside Lucas Oil Stadium with the hope Christian Ponder one day will manage a similar trajectory on his passes.</description>

      <title>NFL Hall of Fame Announcement Coming at 4:30 PM Central</title>
      <description>&lt;img alt=&quot;Hopefully Cris Carter will finally have reason to celebrate this afternoon after getting the Call to Canton.&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn1.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/2971845/Carter_large.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;
 

 
 &lt;p&gt;The National Football League will be announcing its Hall of Fame Class of 2012 this afternoon, with the NFL Network airing the announcement &lt;i&gt;live&lt;/i&gt; at 4:30 PM Central time. I&#039;m guessing that the NFL Network will be streaming this announcement on their website, and if that&#039;s the case we&#039;ll get a link for it up here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;ve been over this whole thing numerous times. . .the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot;&gt;Minnesota Vikings&lt;/a&gt; have two players that are eligible for enshrinement again this year in defensive end Chris Doleman and wide receiver Cris Carter. We all know that it&#039;s nothing short of completely and u</description>

      <title>Cris Carter: Pure. . .Adrenaline</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In a couple of days here, we&#039;re hopefully going to be posting a story here about how former &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot;&gt;Minnesota Vikings&lt;/a&gt;&#039; wide receiver Cris Carter has &lt;em&gt;finally&lt;/em&gt; gotten the call to Canton for enshrinement on the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He might have had the best set of hands in NFL history, and did his fair share of getting blasted by defensive backs over the middle of the football field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, boy howdy, you&#039;re not getting him on a zip line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep. . .Carter decided to &quot;opt out&quot; of his chance to ride the four-story zip line over the streets of downtown Indianapolis. Not sure that I blame him, to be honest. . .I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any chance in hell you&#039;d get &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; on one of those things, either.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
