Favre’s Odds to Complete a Full Season
Baseball has certainly had its fair share of “iron men,” including two of the most notable in history with Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken, Jr. Consecutive starts streaks happen in every sport, and with a 162-game schedule in baseball it seems a bit easier to amass monster stats if you can stay healthy – although [...]
That Won’t Do
First, I want to answer a couple of questions you may have. First, following the National Anthem players from each team walked onto the field and gave each other a “one finger salute.” The gesture was meant to illustrate how every player, regardless of team, is united as a member of the NFLPA in the [...]

Filling Out The Practice Squad
There has been a few changes to the practice squad since the last time I updated you. After the Broncos, um, well, “stole” offensive tackle Chris Clark from the Vikings (eye roll), the Vikings retaliated by snagging their former lineman Seth Olsen. Olsen was a fourth round pick in 2009 and played in three games [...]

According to Judd, the Vikings plan to use Bernard Berrian as their primary punt returner on Thursday against the Saints. This isn’t the first time [...]
Harvin Gets “Wide Eyed” Over Expanded Role
With Sidney Rice out for half of this season, we know that other receivers are going to have to step up and play expanded roles in the offense. One of those players is last year’s Rookie of the Year, Percy Harvin. Harvin typically sees playing time in the slot position, but it sounds like he [...]
