The NFL ... at least according to the mainstream media. Last Friday, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson dismissed a lawsuit brought by the NFL Players Association on behalf of Minnesota Vikings Pat and Kevin Williams, two New Orleans Saints players and a free agent facing suspensions in the ongoing StarCaps case. However, Magnuson sent the Williamses' original lawsuit back ...

After season three of his NFL Network reality program, "Will he or won't he?" kicked off this week, I decided to contact the real experts on Favre, the likes of Stephen King and Wes Craven. You see, Favre has become a real-life horror movie ...

The Minnesota Vikings have been after the highly regarded Houston Texans backup for two years. Last year, trade talks broke down when Minnesota offered a third-round pick and Houston insisted on a second-rounder. This time around, with Rosenfels' contract set to expire after the 2009 season, the Texans will let him walk for a ...

Once again, as it always seems to when the two lock horns, the game came down to the final seconds. The Vikings were ultimately able to escape with a 28-27 win thanks to running back Adrian Peterson, who literally carried them to victory -- one which has 5-4 Minnesota tied atop the NFC North with ... bonderman38@yahoo.com (Eric Krupka) Minnesota Vikings 2008-11-13T04:41:46-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/13181 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/13181 Sunday is Brad Childress' last chance in Minnesota. No, the embattled Vikings mentor is not going to be fired immediately if his team loses to the Green Bay Packers; however, he will transform into a lame duck, coaching out the string while owner Zygi Wilf plots his next move. By now, you all know the story. Before the 2006 season, Childress was a hot commodity wanted by both the Vikings and ...

Of course, a rout in the eyes of the mainstream media means roughly 45 percent of voters will cast a ballot for John McCain. Meanwhile, the current president's approval ratings are at about 25 percent. The only thing less popular than George W. Bush in our current political landscape? ...

The boos and anti-Childress chants roared in the Metrodome as the Vikings struggled against the hapless Lions in Week 6, eventually winning the game 12-10. Although the players said they heard the fans' ... bonderman38@yahoo.com (Eric Krupka) Minnesota Vikings 2008-10-21T04:11:25-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12956 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12956 The Minnesota Vikings, currently on a two-game winning streak, are .500 and in a three-way tie atop the NFC North with Green Bay and Chicago. The Vikings' 3-3 record is thanks to their latest victory, a 12-10 squeaker against lowly Detroit last weekend. And the fans aren’t happy. It wasn’t the prettiest victory or most satisfying and the fans let head coach Brad Childress hear it -- sort of. ... bonderman38@yahoo.com (Eric Krupka) Minnesota Vikings 2008-10-15T04:21:14-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12900 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12900 A scapegoat needs a scapegoat, I suppose, and that's why Vikings head coach Brad Childress threw his punter, Chris Kluwe, under the bus after Monday's embarrassing performance in New Orleans. The normally stoic Childress was uncharacteristically angry after the Vikings surrendered 354 return yards, including two punt returns for touchdowns by Reggie Bush in the second half. In fact, Bush should ...

Unfortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, giveaways were the story in last Sunday's 30-17 loss to Tennessee. The Vikings, who are now 1-3, lost three fumbles and threw an interception against the 4-0 Titans. Those four turnovers led to 21 points for Kerry Collins-led Tennessee. “I’m not going ... bonderman38@yahoo.com (Eric Krupka) Minnesota Vikings 2008-09-30T04:31:53-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12737 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12737 Not a lot has gone right for the 1-2 Minnesota Vikings early this season. Most of the problems can be traced back to the head coach's stubborn support of overmatched quarterback Tarvaris Jackson or the talented defense's strange habit of allowing two or three big plays each week. Things finally turned the Purple's way against Carolina last week after coach Brad Childress mercifully pulled the ... JMcmullen1@comcast.net (John McMullen) Minnesota Vikings 2008-09-25T04:15:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12728 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12728 It was only one week, but the Minnesota Vikings’ offense looked a lot better with Gus Frerotte under center on Sunday. The 15-year veteran, making his first start as a Viking since filling in for the injured Daunte Culpepper in 2003, was solid during his team's 20-10 win over Carolina. Frerotte, who spent the past few seasons with the Dolphins and Rams before returning to the Vikings, ... bonderman38@yahoo.com (Eric Krupka) Minnesota Vikings 2008-09-24T04:25:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12678 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12678 On Wednesday, Minnesota benched quarterback Tarvaris Jackson after starting the season with two losses. Vikings coach Brad Childress was behind the deal in 2006 that saw the Vikings trade up to get back into the second round to take the former Division I-AA QB, and it made some wonder then what he was thinking. Jackson, whose replacement is Gus Frerotte, is 26th in the league with a 64.8 ... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Minnesota Vikings 2008-09-18T09:19:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12666 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/12666 Brad Childress is a tough guy to figure out. Thirty-four games into his disastrous tenure in Minneapolis, the coach has finally pulled the plug on Tarvaris Jackson -- the overmatched former Division I-AA quarterback whom Childress, in an inexplicable move, handed the keys to late in the 2006 season. Considered an offensive genius from his days in Philadelphia with Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb and ...

The embarrassing defeat led to an 0-2 mark for Minnesota, which many regarded as a preseason Super Bowl contender.
