Even Beer Goggles Couldn’t Fix This

Earlier this week we posted a link to a report that Brad Childress had dressed up like a female flight attendant on the team’s flight to Pittsburgh. Now, coming from Visanthe Shiancoe’s Twitter Page via the Viking Ship, we have the photo evidence to confirm the report.  Thanks? Shiancoe jokes on his twitter page that [...]

Friday’s Injury Report

Vikings ( Almost ) Mid-Season Grades

Day 2 – Receivers – 1. Bernard Berrian- 24 receptions/ 252 yds./ 10.5 avg./ 2 TD’s – Started the season as the # 1 receiver but has had a nagging hamstring injury that has limited his time in pre-season and has carried over through the first half. His timing with Favre has been off and [...]
