Packers looking to lock up Williams long term
Having a young cornerback come of age is easily one of the more exciting things to have happen in the NFL for a general manager and coaching staff, and fortunately for Green Bay, that’s exactly what’s happening this year, with former undrafted rookie Tramon Williams. So far this season, Williams has given up just one passing play over [...]

29 October 2010
With an NFL record 293 consecutive games played in and 291 consecutive games started under his belt, dating back to 1992, Brett Favre has shown himself to be the NFL’s version of the “Iron Horse”, but after missing practice once again yesterday, that streak is close to coming to an end. Citing a league source, [...]

28 October 2010
Coming off a tremendous season in which he put up career numbers across the board, Brett Favre and the Vikings coaching staff had every reason to believe that this year would bring more of the same. But injuries , off the field distractions, and a well documented rift with head coach Brad Childress have derailed [...]

25 October 2010
Coming off a disappointing four point loss in Green Bay tonight, Vikings head coach Brad Childress took the opportunity to vent his disgust with the officials, calling the contest the “worst officiated game” he’s ever seen. His comments will almost certainly draw a significant fine from the league, as he called out multiple officials by [...]

14 October 2010
Over the past two years, Greg Jennings has asserted himself as the go to guy in Green Bay, catching 148 passes for 2,405 yards and 13 touchdowns, so it not surprising that he would express some displeasure with his role thus far in the Packers passing attack. That said, the way in which he chose [...]

13 October 2010
Headed into this season, Green Bay tight end Jermichael Finley was looked at as one of the league’s most promising young players, and the expectations were high for his stats given the explosiveness of the Packers offense. But after leaving the field on a cart last Sunday in Washington with a knee injury, the outlook on [...]

12 October 2010
If you ask anyone that spends a fair amount of time around the Vikings, they’ll tell you that cornerback Cedric Griffin is easily one of the most valuable players they have on defense, and losing him late last year to a knee injury was tough to overcome. Unfortunately for Minnesota, that scenario is playing out [...]

8 October 2010
After displaying significant potential during training camp this past summer, Vikings rookie cornerback Chris Cook has struggled to translate that into the regular season, as he’s been hampered through the first four weeks by the effects of a torn meniscus in his right knee. According to Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the injury has [...]
Continue reading...Belichick: No problems with Moss
7 October 2010
When news first broke of a possible trade involving the Vikings and wide receiver Randy Moss, the general consensus was that the Patriots were fed up with Moss’ antics in trying to drum up a new contract for himself and decided to get the best deal they could right now, instead of letting him walk [...]

7 October 2010
History often has a way of repeating itself in surprising ways, and the NFL is no exception to that. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Packers linebacker Nick Barnett will miss the remainder of the season with a wrist injury, that is eerily similar to the one that Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher suffered a season ago, [...]
Continue reading...Moss headed to Vikings without new contract?
6 October 2010
One of the driving forces behind the potential trade of Randy Moss from New England to Minnesota is the desire of Moss to receive a long term extension, guaranteeing his contract status through the upcoming labor strife. But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, no negotiations have taken place as of yet between Minnesota and Moss, [...]
Continue reading...Sources: Moss trade very close for Patriots, Vikings
6 October 2010
When Randy Moss left Minnesota for Oakland in 2005, it’s doubtful that he ever contemplated the notion that he might come full circle and finish what he started with the Vikings at the end of his career. But if multiple sources close to the situation are to be trusted, that’s exactly how things will play [...]
