With the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome still in a state of disrepair from last week's historic winter storm, it has been announced that the Minnesota Vikings' Week 15 Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears will take place at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of ...Published on: 13th October, 2010
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is statistically among the worst in the National Football League this season. His QB rating is a measly 67—only three QBs are worse, and two of them are rookies, and he has thrown as many interceptions in four games this year (seven) as he did ...Published on: 22nd September, 2010
The Minnesota Vikings were in hot pursuit of suspended San Diego Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson today, but with trade demands too lofty for the Vikings' liking, they simply added recently released wideout Hank Baskett to their roster in an attempt to bolster a dysfunctional receiving corps. The Chargers were apparently asking ...Published on: 20th September, 2010
Minnesota Vikings receiver/kick returner Percy Harvin has a pain in his butt. But according to the results of an MRI today, it's nothing more than a hip strain.

Naturally, I was skeptical given that the writer didn't declare ...Published on: 23rd August, 2010
When Minnesota Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson broke his thigh bone in a gruesome collision against the Arizona Cardinals last season, you had to wonder if his career was over. In yesterday's 15-10 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers, there is no doubt his football career is far from over. ...Published on: 17th August, 2010
As I said back on March 8, there were plenty of good reasons for Brett Favre to return to the Minnesota Vikings in 2010. And after a series of events that saw three Vikings players (Ryan Longwell, Jared Allen and Steve Hutchinson) fly to Favre's home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to ...Published on: 15th August, 2010
We're used to Brett Favre as a no-show at training camp. The living legend and future Hall of Famer doesn't do training camp anymore. But what's going on with the defending Offensive Rookie of the Year, receiver/kick returner Percy Harvin? Is Favre's absence—or head coach Brad Childress' allowance of Favre's absence—causing ...
