This isn’t terribly surprising. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Minnesota Vikings will release QB Donovan McNabb today. He’ll be subject to the waiver process with $1.5 million left on his contract this year. “Filed to ESPN: Vikings plan to release Donovan McNabb today, according to a league source,” Schefter tweets. The move isn’t surprising [...]
Minnesota Vikings QB Donovan McNabb was benched during an awful loss to the Chicago Bears a couple of Monday nights ago, despite the fact that he wasn’t playing poorly. Truth be told, he hasn’t been bad for the Vikings this season, even though he’s far from what he used to be. So, he got benched [...]
Sweet Jesus, no wonder they kept this guy in jail all weekend without bail. It’s funny, when Aaron Rodgers found Greg Jennings all by his lonesome in Sunday’s game for what was a huge joke of a touchdown, no one mentioned that the Vikings were down a starting cornerback and that may have contributed to [...]
Minnesota Vikings CB Chris Cook is up to his old hijinx again. And when we say “hijinx,” we mean “getting arrested.” Back in March, Cook was arrested and then acquitted of charges of brandishing a firearm during a fight. This time? Cook was arrested on two charges of domestic assault and “intentional attempts to inflict [...]
The Minnesota Vikings are off to a slow but-not-dreadful 0-2 start to their season. While Donovan McNabb did next to nothing in their season-opening loss to the Chargers, the team still had the lead for most of the game. In the second game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team again squandered a late lead [...]
We’d like to thank our buddy Pete for tipping us off on this one. We’ve got a photo of Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin standing in the end zone. And….some dude behind him doesn’t look like he’s bothering with the long lines in the bathroom if you know what I mean. This is absolutely hysterical [...]
Sick of Brett Favre? Well then this will be good news. Because despite some of the rumors of Favre returning this year (ahem…Eagles), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Favre didn’t get a “single call” this offseason from any NFL team. “I haven’t heard from anybody saying, ‘We’d like to talk to you about Brett,’ [...]
Last season, Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie got a bit out of shape. He’s listed at 335 lbs., but he ballooned to about 360 during the season. How does that happen in the midst of working your behind off during an NFL season? No clue. But, it happened and reports out of Mankato suggest [...]
After weighing the offers and his options, Randy Moss has decided to retire. He was most likely getting low-ball, prove-it, one-year contract offers and he opted not to go all T.O. on it. His agent, Joel Segal, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that that was the case. ”After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he’s decided [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a deal that will send QB Donovan McNabb to the purple guys. The only thing now is that McNabb has to agree to a new contract for it to go through. McNabb signed a ridiculous extension last season [...]
Consider Adrian Peterson among those that are pretty irritated with the NFL owners. In an interview with Yahoo! Sports‘ Doug Farrar, he offered his take on the whole labor dispute. “It’s like . . . ‘Well, show us.’ We want more information, and they want to bull****, going around, saying this and that, just open [...]
Well isn’t this cute? Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen apparently doesn’t know what to do when there aren’t offensive linemen to battle. Yesterday, he took the fight to the LAPD! Griffen was pulled over around 4 p.m. by the Los Angeles Police Department. It was a traffic stop at 30th and Hoover St., and [...]
This isn’t good. It’s bad enough that Brett Favre had a year that included getting really banged up, stinking up the joint on the football field and being accused of chasing young female Jets employees. Oh yeah, and they eventually filed a lawsuit against him. Now, it’s Brett Favre’s sister that’s in trouble (not a [...]
I thought the most-likely retirement and the $50,000 paid to Jenn Sterger was it. I thought Brett Favre was starting to slip out of our lives. Guess what? He’s back. Two former New York Jets massage therapists filed a lawsuit against Favre, the New York Jets, and Lisa Ripi (she hired the massage therapists for [...]
While we typically take things that Sal Paolantonio says with a grain of salt, we thought this might be worth mentioning. Today, Vick will sit and rest against the Dallas Cowboys while Kevin Kolb gets the start. Is it possible a strong performance today by Kolb could put Vick on a short leash for the [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles were a house on fire for much of this season. Michael Vick and the offense have been a hot knife through butter this year, and there is Super Bowl talk in Philadelphia (despite Tuesday night’s meltdown to the Vikings). However, the Eagles are looking to rest Vick and that should help tremendously [...]
Any Philadelphia Eagles fans out there still willing to admit that they are fans of a team that stunk up the joint at home against a Minnesota Vikings team that had a third-string, rookie QB who was drafted to be a wide receiver? No? Didn’t think so. Of all the problems with the Eagles on [...]
Surprisingly, it was Brett Favre that started for the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night and Adrian Peterson was the one who could go. That was quite a shock and I’m sure that it royally screwed fantasy football owners in the midst of their playoffs. “I’m down 12, but I have Peterson Monday night.” That sound [...]
Not so fast, Joe Webb. We know you think you are starting Monday night’s tilt with the Chicago Bears, but hold on. All of a sudden, the Minnesota Vikings have upgraded Brett Favre from out to questionable. Heh? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. The day of the game you are upgrading a [...]
Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre saw his string of consecutive games played snapped at 297 regular season games on Monday. But, that doesn’t mean his streaks are over. Nope, this Monday night, his Vikings will take on the Chicago Bears and he isn’t going to play. That means that he’ll now be at two consecutive [...]
The worst part about the Minnesota Vikings Monday night loss to the New York Giants, was the fact that Tarvaris Jackson got hurt after he stunk up the joint. So as if he wasn’t bad enough, now he isn’t even healthy enough to go out and give you another poor performance. So who is to [...]
I know I just mentioned this a couple hours ago when it first happened, but now I’ve found some video. As we’ve all heard by now, the roof of the Metrodome has collapsed under the weight of 17″ of snow and ice. Of course, this means that the New York Giants won’t be playing the [...]
Wow, this is kind of scary. Multiple media outlets are reporting that the roof of the Metrodome in Minnesota has collapsed due to heavy snowfall. One would have to think that it’s quite a snowstorm, considering it’s Minnesota and the thing was probably built to handle snow. The Giants were scheduled to play at the [...]
Remember back in 2005 in Philadelphia, when things were going really south for the Eagles, Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens? T.O. had problems with Donovan, the team and even offensive coordinator Brad Childress. Back then, I thought Owens was being ridiculous. He was causing problems with many people, that maybe him complaining about Childress was [...]
What’s JA pissed off about this week? Let’s find out as Jason tosses out his Two Pennies: -The NFL needs to take a hit of the grass, calm down, and take the hit on the field. Asante Samuel’s hit on Derek Hagan was clean. Say what you want, but it didn’t deserve a penalty, much [...]
