Brett Favre is stinking up the joint for the Minnesota Vikings, who got their asses handed to them on Sunday by the Green Bay Packers. The talk of head coach Brad Childress’s head being on the chopping block has been around for quite some time as well. But, there won’t be much more talk about [...]
Sources tell Ed Werder of ESPN that the confrontation between Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin and head coach Brad Childress on Friday was a little worse than originally reported. We heard previously that there was a “heated” argument between the two after practice, but Werder’s sources say that it “was as close to physical as [...]
If there are good things to say about this Minnesota Vikings team right now, I’m not sure what they are. They are 2-5. They gave up a third-round pick for Randy Moss, who they cut some four weeks later. When the coach decided to cut him, he didn’t tell the owner, who then almost fired [...]
There is some crap going down up in Minnesota, huh? Brad Childress can’t remotely feel like he has any job security at this point, can he? Not only has he done a pretty terrible job for someone who has been employed so long, but his handling of the Randy Moss situation apparently sent Zygi Wilf [...]
Just when we thought that Randy Moss might get it, he proves – repeatedly – that he doesn’t and he never will. It was all well and good back in 2007 when he was catching 23 touchdown passes from Tom Brady and the Patriots were steamrolling the league. Then, Moss acted up and Bill Belichick [...]
In a classic example of legal extortion, former New York Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger will decline the NFL’s request for interview if she is able to reach an agreement with Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Sterger is the centerpiece of an investigation of Favre as to whether [...]
There is tons of Friday injury news in the NFL and rather than put out a bunch of different posts that you won’t read anyway, I figured I’d just put it all into one post that you won’t read. Here are some updates on who is hurt and what their status is. -Minnesota Vikings QB [...]
On Monday Night, it was obvious that Brett Favre’s elbow was causing him some discomfort. During the second half, he was seen grabbing his throwing elbow after many of his passes. Tendinitis will do that. Many Packers, Jets, and Vikings fans might view Brett’s in-game elbow grabbing as a ploy to set up an excuse for when [...]
This is one of my favorites. We don’t know who this guy is or how he pulled this off. But it’s hysterical. This is from his days in Oakland, but we think it still resonates, especially since the Patriots just “sent him away” to the Minnesota Vikings. We actually like this version better than the [...]
The rumors heated up last night and it seems that the deal is finally done. Randy Moss is now a Minnesota Viking. The Patriots were not going to resign Moss at the end of the year so they wanted to get as much as they could right now. What thy ended up with is a [...]
Most of us were shocked this evening when we heard of the report that a deal to send Randy Moss from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings was in fairly advanced stages. Moss is in the last year of his contract, but why would the Patriots want to give him up now? Well, [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, OTR’s predictions for sports events are different than other sites, because we’ve never ever been wrong. Whether it’s a mock draft or just a regular season game, we are always 100% spot on. How many can say that? So, with that in mind, let’s take a look a couple of the [...]
In 2007, there were idiot journalists who already wanted to crown Minnesota Vikings rookie RB Adrian Peterson as the best running back of all time. We’re serious, we remember hearing it and thinking how stupid it was. It’s kind of widely accepted now that Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson is the best in the league [...]
When most people thought of what types of things could keep the Minnesota Vikings out of the playoffs, their first thought was probably “Tarvaris Jackson playing QB.” And they’d have been right. But this Sidney Rice issue isn’t far down that list. Rice has decided to have surgery on his troublesome hip and it looks [...]
Minnesota Vikings WR Sidney Rice has been experiencing pain in his hip for quite some time. On Friday, he did some conditioning drills and really pushed himself, only to feel pain. This would probably be considered a setback. Now, his status for Week 1 of the 2010 season is in doubt. Chip Scoggins of the [...]
There are multiple reports right now that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre is on a plane right now to Minnesota, presumably to rejoin the team (or maybe he just loooves the Mall of America). This is terrible news for Vikings fans who had their hearts set on a 2010 team being captained by Tarvaris Jackson. [...]
Wow, this is getting old. No, it is old. It was old two years ago. Now, it’s just obnoxious. A family source tells Al Jones of the Biloxi Sun-Herald that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre has not made any decision on his retirement yet. “Brett has not made a commitment to play or a decision [...]
Here we friggin’ go again. We are so sick of this crap, but we guess we have to write about it. Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre has reportedly leaked that he indeed plans to retire, saying that his ankle injury and other wears and tears are just too much for him. Well, as with everything [...]
Minnesota Vikings WR Sidney Rice has become a damn good player in recent years. With all the talk of Brett Favre (what’s new?) and what he’s up to (we don’t care), it seems that people have forgotten about Rice and his injured hip. He first got it banged up in January’s NFC title game against [...]
Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings was recently on HBO’s Entourage, a show about what it’s really like to be a Hollywood star (not remotely the case). While Peterson wasn’t Johnny Depp, he also wasn’t bad either. The good news for Peterson is that the acting on that show is so horrific, he stood out [...]
Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson knows that his team isn’t going anywhere with Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels. And with the short shelf life of running backs, he knows he doesn’t have 10 years to wait for the team to get a really QB in there. So, he knows that his best option is to [...]
Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson missed a mandatory minicamp practice this offseason to attend Adrian Peterson Day in Palestine, Texas. It seems that his absence wasn’t excused and head coach Brad Childress wasn’t thrilled that he wasn’t there. Peterson was asked about his no-show act at a recent football camp. “It’s over with,” said Peterson. [...]
In an interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald, Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre indicated that he will play again in 2010. Not that this is really a surprise. Does anyone think he’s really going to retire right now? “I would love to go beat the Saints,” he said. “I know I can still play at [...]
The Minnesota Vikings opened up a “mandatory” minicamp on Friday and there was one notable absence. Ha, not Brett Favre. Who gives a rat’s petute about what he’s doing at this point? Plus, he’s allowed to do whatever the hell he wants. We’re talking about RB Adrian Peterson. So where is Adrian? Well, he was [...]
The St Louis Rams refused to increase O. J. Atogwe’s tender to 110% of his 2009 salary, so the safety is now an unrestricted free agent and should have plenty of teams calling for his duties. Atogwe didn’t sign the tender that was offered to him at $1.226 million, much less than his 2009 salary [...]
