It's only been a couple of days since word spread that the Pat and Kevin Williams will potentially be suspended for taking an illegal substance, Bumetanide, that was in the drug, Starcaps. While this is a big blow to the defensive line, the Purple People Eaters will do just fine with the depth they have. Pat Williams is in all likelihood entering his final NFL season. Age has shown its ugly color ...

The Minnesota Vikings came into this draft with several big needs, including defensive back, quarterback, and offensive lineman. With two second-round picks after trading out of the first round to the Detroit Lions for the Lions' second-round pick, seventh-round pick, and swapping fourth-round picks, the Vikings' draft appeared to be heading in the right direction. The Vikings' first pick, 34 overall, they selected cornerback Chris Cook. I was all in favor of ...

The draft is just a couple of days away and fans across the nation are gearing up for one of the most anticpated drafts ever. Every year they claim that the talent is the best in years. However, I think that actually holds true this year. With a potential lockout in 2011, student-athletes are leaving college more rapidly than ever. That is the reason the talent pool is so deep. In my first mock ...

It's been a quiet offseason for the Minnesota Vikings. At this time last year, the Vikings were a quarterback away from being Super Bowl contenders and didn't need to fill a lot of holes. Oh how the times have changed. With Brett Favre once again mulling retirement, Pat Williams likely entering his final NFL year, an unhealthy secondary, and depth needed in almost all positions, the Vikings will have to be very careful ...

Brad Childress keeps reiterating the fact that he's giving legendary quarterback Brett Favre all the time in the world he needs to make a decision on his playing future. That is, if it takes until the draft, that's great. If it takes until the second preseason game, who cares? The Vikings will still let him play. Joe Montana came out a week ago and stated that Favre has probably already made up ...

It's being reported that the Philadelphia Eagles have released two-time Pro Bowler Shawn Andrew after two seasons riddled by injuries. The offensive guard has struggled with back problems and depression the last two seasons. He left during the second game of the season in 2008 with a back injury that later required surgery and hasn't played since. The last couple of seasons have been very frustrating for the Eagles and their fans. ...

The Vikings are giving Brett Favre something that he hasn't been given for over six years: time to think about his future. After being pushed into early retirement several times, the Vikings are playing the waiting game with Favre. The only difference between this game and the one he played with Green Bay for so many off-seasons is that the Vikings are willing to wait it out, even if it ...

With all the news about the possibility of the Minnesota Vikings moving to a new city, the state of Minnesota sure doesn't seem to care. Governor Tim Pawlenty won't give a penny to help the Vikings build a new stadium, and we're starting to see why. Over the past few weeks, we've seen one of the NFL's juggernaut teams get obliterated by the Arizona Cardinals and, more recently, the 5-8 Carolina ...

Before the season began, everyone was proclaiming Adrian Peterson to be the next 2,000-yard rusher. After all, Brett Favre had just joined the roster and was supposed to keep defenses honest, and the Vikings were supposed to have a top-five offensive line. Well, opposing defenses felt differently and decided if they could take Peterson out of games, Favre would be next in line to try to beat them. It was a good ...
