Hiya,

Logo:

1. No need to link the logo on the home page back to the home page.
2. The yellow "purple pride" doesn't stand out well against the white
"vikings" - also the yellow looks a bit scrappy as though you lifted it
off a dark background.
3. The purple "minnesota" is almost invisible against the purple
background. The purple helmetty thing does not stand out very well either.

Home page:

1. Font for yellow links on RHS is very hard to read - I think it was
meant to be used at larger sizes.
2. "Posted: date" is almost invisible against that background colour.
3. Java applet doesn't seem to be working.
4. I'm assuming you're aiming this site at Vikings fans, cos nothing on
the home page explains who or what they are.
5. If you're going to use an image map it's a good idea to include text
links at the bottom of the page.

Didn't have time to look at anything else, HTH.
