Franchise Player Turned Away From Weight Room
Chad Greenway is thought of in the highest regards around Winter Park, as evidenced by the franchise tag they placed on him this offseason, but even he was turned away when he showed up for work this morning. A federal judge’s ruling should have, by all appearances, caused the NFL to open up for business [...]

Once they convinced quarterback Brett Favre to come back for one more season, they appeared to be a shoe-in to win the NFC North and contender [...]
Spielman & Frazier Talk Draft & Lockout
April 27th, 2011 Adam Warwas Posted in 2011 NFL Draft, Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions, Rumors Leslie Frazier and Rick Spielman held a pre-Draft news conference on Tuesday, which contained a fair amount of lockout questions, and I have to be honest in saying that I didn’t find it overly worth mentioning.

State Wants Vikings To Up Their Ante
It is sounding more and more like the Vikings are going to have to commit more money to the stadium deal if they want the State of Minnesota to push public money towards the project.

Judge Says Vikings Deal With Vincent Jackson Illustrates “Irreparable Harm”
Here is something that might make some Vikings fans a little sick to their stomachs. You might remember early-season rumors that the Vikings were negotiating with Chargers hold-out wide receiver Vincent Jackson after Sidney Rice’s hip surgery placed him on the PUP list. Judd Zulgad of Access Vikings reports that a contract was actually agreed [...]
