The Minnesota Vikings have come to a breaking point in their season. They were pummeled by their rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday. And Brett Favre wasn’t even listening to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell after his interception. It is well known that Favre and Brad Childress don’t see eye to eye despite the fact that the latter is the on-again off-again chauffeur. If Favre … [Read more...] about Vikings Funeral?

Minnesota Vikings Can’t Pester Devin Hester
Brett Favre threw three interceptions Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Two of the three picks can be put on his receivers since they lost their footing. Favre was required to force the football even more than normal because none of the top three starting receivers played the complete game for the Vikings. They are the antithesis of Favre-who would … [Read more...] about Minnesota Vikings Can’t Pester Devin Hester
Brett Favre Is A Better Bargain Than Matthew Stafford
Jenn Sterger recently met with NFL officials for three hours in an undisclosed location in New York. It is arguable what's the bigger issue for Favre: this or the Minnesota Vikings current record of 3-5?

Most sports books in Las Vegas … [Read more...] about Brett Favre Is A Better Bargain Than Matthew Stafford
Brad Childress: A Complete Laughing Stock
Given his lack of credibility and ineffectiveness in leadership, Vikings Coach Brad Childress should be in Washington; and not with the Redskins. Chili came to a boiling point earlier this week when Percy Harvin exchanged words with the head coach regarding his sprained ankle.

Detroit Lions: An Offensive Juggernaut
Through a quarter of the NFL season Shaun Hill has a higher passer rating than Brett Favre. That statement pretty much sums up how everything is turned upside down in the league this year. The Detroit Lions are very fortunate at this set of circumstances because many of the fringe quarterbacks chose to play in the UFL and their ownership will not release the top performers … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions: An Offensive Juggernaut

No coach in the league has more of a mandate to give his input to ownership and management than … [Read more...] about Patriots Loss is Vikings Gain: Systems Do Not Trump Talent
Who’s Greedier: Gordon Gekko or Brett Favre?
The classics in any genre are timeless. That is why the Minnesota Vikings' Brett Favre still resonates with two generations of football fans. It is exactly the same reason why Gordon Gekko’s character in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is also relevant today. Market observers noted that the averages on the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and Standard & Poor’s … [Read more...] about Who’s Greedier: Gordon Gekko or Brett Favre?
Vikings fans: In Visanthe Shiancoe We Trust
Visanthe Shiancoe and Adrian Peterson have been beasts for the Vikings offense.
