Vikings beat writer, St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press

I don't see why a writer that takes this job is not able to live and breath the Vikings and can break and may even provide better coverage the the big boys at the Star Tribune.

Does this mean they expect you to get dinged up a lot and your production will take a nosedive late in the season?
