In 2002, the Vikings were third in the reformed NFC North Battle, (Chicago was 2nd, Green Bay was 1st). Done it's absolute worst with the Green Bay Packers winning the championships in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2007, and the Chicago Bears winning the championships in 2005 and 2006.

In 2009, the team picked up former Green Bay Packer from unrestricted Free Agent, nd96. On October 5, 2009 the Vikings hosted the Green Bay Packers as nd96 played his former team for the first time. By January 2010 the Vikings beat the Packers once again, winning the 2009 Championship. In 2010, for the first time, the team fills up their pro roster with Sidney Rice and CTToney. A notable event from this period was the Hacker Bowl, an unscheduled game that Guest 4786 has hosted but nd96 defeated him by 68 KO's. The Vikings were 5-1 in their season, only losing to the Chicago Bears once. They advanced to Super Bowl I and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2011, the Vikings have reassigned CTToney to the Detroit Lions in response to the release of TWISTAFATE01.
