Should Vilma be banned for life? Chris Kluwe thinks so
Throughout the entire BountyGate saga, Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has been one of the loudest voices of criticism levied towards New Orleans, vigorously attacking anyone supporting the Saints use of money to incentivize injuries to opponents. Kluwe took to the airwaves in the Twin Cities this afternoon to discuss the punishments handed down by NFL commissioner [...]

15 March 2012
In the midst of all the free agent hoopla, the Vikings have had their focus drawn away towards the legal proceedings involving cornerback Chris Cook, who was accused of choking and physically assaulting his girlfriend.

26 February 2012
While the Rams may hold all the cards right now for a potential blockbuster trade with the #2 overall pick in this year’s draft, the Vikings are right behind them both literally and figuratively, in that Minnesota would love nothing more than to be able to trade back with a team that covets a spot [...]

26 February 2012
Coming off the exuberance and excitement of their Super Bowl victory, the Giants didn’t show too much concern at the prospect of losing impending free agent wide receiver Mario Manningham to another club this off-season, but the signs are beginning to mount that Manningham’s departure is all but guaranteed. Sources close to the team passed along [...]

2 August 2011
One of the things that many rookie head coaches try to do in their first season at the helm is to change the culture established by the previous regime to one they favor instead. And even though Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier is technically a carry over from the last coaching staff, he isn’t any different [...]
Continue reading...Falcons flying high with Ray Edwards in the fold
29 July 2011
One player that somehow avoided serious discussion this week is defensive end Ray Edwards, who is coming off a solid run in Minnesota, establishing himself as a capable defender against both the run and the pass. That led many to believe he’d be a hot commodity once free agency got started, but after watching most of [...]
Continue reading...Vikings scrambling for wide receiver help
28 July 2011
With Pro Bowl wide receiver Sidney Rice getting a ridiculous contract from the Seahawks last night, it leaves the Vikings a little thin in the pass catching department.

27 July 2011

Continue reading...Bears to look at Brad Smith?
25 July 2011
After their spending spree last off-season, the Bears are not expected to be major players this year in the free agent frenzy, but that won’t prevent Chicago from bringing in a few veteran players and trying to sign them to team friendly contracts that won’t break the bank. One player that fits that bill is [...]
Continue reading...Casino revenue to pave the way for new Vikings stadium?
1 June 2011
For the past two years, much of the discussion in Minnesota has centered on quarterback Brett Favre and his annual vacillation over whether or not he should finally call it quits on his Hall of Fame career. But alongside of that conversation has been an even larger argument concerning a new stadium for the Vikings [...]

ESPN’s Adam [...]

The current holder of the position, Vikings interim head coach Leslie Frazier, is expected to [...]

29 December 2010
Throughout much of the season, Brett Favre has been dogged by allegations of impropriety with former Jets gameday host Jenn Sterger, and up to now, the possibility of a suspension was a very real threat.

28 December 2010
Just two weeks removed from being relegated to the bench, Donovan McNabb has expressed a desire to stay the course with the Redskins next season, if he can gain some assurance that he’ll be the team’s starter from head coach Mike Shanahan.

22 November 2010
With head coach Brad Childress finally out of the picture in Minnesota, there was some sentiment around the league for quarterback Brett Favre to step down from his starting role in favor of backup Tavaris Jackson, in an effort to see what the Vikings will have next season when Favre finally retires.
