Favre Questions His Own Status
Brett Favre was asked at his press conference if he would be the starting quarterback next week against the Patriots. “Who knows?” Favre said. “Really, who knows? I hope I do. It’ll be tough to get over this loss, as it’s tough to get over any loss. But I’ve got to find a way to [...]

Readers Make Their Picks
As I am sitting here watching the Bears and the Redskins self-destruct against each other, I browsed over the predictions you all made for tonight’s Vikings game. I happy to see a surprising amount of optimism, which is something I have going into this game, as well. I picked a 31-21 victory for our Vikes, [...]
Trash Talking With Packer Ranters
Every time the Vikings beat, er, I mean play the Packers I ask the Packer Ranter to do a little trash talking segment with me. This time around, the Packer Ranter used both their writers to contribute to the piece, so I guess now I am referring to them as Packer Ranters. As always, I’m [...]
