The Minnesota Vikings have agreed with Anoka County to build a $675 million retractable-roof stadium just outside Minneapolis.

Vikings owner Wilf made the announcement on Tuesday in Blaine, which is near the stadium;s location.

Wilf bought the Vikings for $600 million in June and stated that he wanted to build a new outdoor stadium to replace the Metrodome.

Nearly $400 million is likely to be gleaned from taxpayers with the Vikings chipping in $275 million.

Mark Messier, the 44-year-old New York Rangers center, has announced his retirement from Hockey. One of the games greats, the NHL's No. 2 all time scorer could easily have passed Gordie Howe (1,787) for first place had he returned this season. But Messier was always more about the team than piling on personal success.

"It was a tough decision," said Messier. "I'm healthy and feel good and I feel like I can play."

Messier won two MVP awards and six Stanley Cups during his 25-year career and developed, as he put it, from a "fourth-line grinder" to one of the most dominating centers and leaders of his time.

He became a star with Edmonton and a hero with New York.

New England's record of 34-4 over the last two seasons compared to Oakland's somewhat embarrassing 9-23 would get you thinking that this match up is exactly what New England would want as their season opener.

But there is some genuine belief this year that the Raiders could make a run at the divisional title, certainly based on their offence..

Randy Moss has the ability to cause strife in any team but by the same token he is one of the best around in his position and provides the Raiders with a genuine game-breaking player.
