Today’s Inactives Do Not Include Harvin

Here are today’s inactives for the Vikings. Inactive for the Vikings today will be Rosenfels, Johnson, Young, Paymah, Mills, Leman, Cooper, and DT Guion. There is a lot of good news on that list.  Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, John Sullivan, Tyrell Johnson (good news?), and Ray Edwards are all set to play tonight. The inactives [...]

Harvin Has Bulging Disks; Other Notes

Hello everyone.  Sorry for the troubles in the comments section, not sure what happened and not sure how I fixed it.  Hopefully that is the last time such a thing happens… but if not, thanks for the heads up that something was wrong.  I get all comments sent to my email, and had it not [...]

Henderson Doesn’t Own Up

“Your name is all you have,” Erin Henderson told the Pioneer Press on Wednesday in the wake of being dealt a four game suspension by the NFL. “Because of that, I’ve always tried to hold myself to a higher standard.” Henderson was suspended by the league for violating their performance-enhancing substance policies.  Henderson is not [...]

Big Pat Talks Retirement

There has been a lot of speculation that Pat Williams could retire after this season.  He recently told Access Vikings that he would do just that if the Vikings won the Super Bowl… and he would do it in style. Even though there is one more year left on his contract, Pat says, “It don’t [...]

Minnesota Vikings New Stadium

Winning is everything. The Minnesota Vikings are 11-2 going into this Sunday night’s football game. Winning is everything.  I remember reading some articles about the possibilities of Brett Favre coming to Minnesota and how either it wasn’t going to make a difference in the final outcome of the season or how his presence was actually [...]
