Sidney Rice Got Paid
Take A Hint, Brett
Even the Metrodome knows when its time to fold, apparently.
Besieged by a blizzard, the roof of the 28-year-old stadium collapsed early Sunday morning, forcing the NFL to postpone the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the New York Giants.
Maybe Minnesota quarterback Bret Fav … re (pardon the Something About Mary flashback) should take this a sign … [...]
Vikes’ Waive Moss
Less than a month after he was obtained from the New England Patriots in exchange for a third-round pick in next year’s draft, wide receiver Randy Moss’ homecoming with the Minnesota Vikings is over.
The Vikings waived Moss on Monday, less than 24 hours after he held a bizarre post-game news conference in which he professed [...]
Moss To Minnesota
Two days after being involved in a locker room “outburst,” disgruntled New England Patriots’ wide receiver Randy Moss has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
Moss – who was upset over the Patriots’ refusal to give him a long-term contract – was reportedly involved in a “heated exchange” with quarterback coach Bill O’Brien during halftime of [...]
Favre’s Back (Again)

Enough With The “Favre-lous”
A week before his fortieth birthday, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns to defeat his former team … prompting literally hundreds of sports websites to write headlines that contained the term “Favre-lous.”
Seriously, sports world. 1996 called. It wants its Super Bowl headlines back.
Of course, the Green Bay Packers obviously [...]
Brett Favre: This Is Happening Now
In our preseason compartmentalization of the quarterback position in the NFL, we had already settled on a few things – Tom Brady’s general attractiveness, Peyton Manning being in the best shape of his career, Michael Vick donning Eagles’ green and a retired Brett Favre in street clothes (Wrangler jeans, perhaps?) …
It was settled, in fact. [...]
You Won’t Be Seeing This (In Real Life)
Brett Favre will be playing for the Minnesota Vikings in 2009 – as long as you’ve got the latest installment of the Madden video game franchise.
In real life, however, Favre has announced that he will not be joining the Vikings (or any other NFL team) in 2009, apparently reaching the conclusion that he would not [...]
Favre To Football: I Can’t Quit You
Brett Favre is meeting with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress in Hattiesburg, Mississippi today to discuss the terms under which he might be the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback in 2009.
Why Hattiesburg?
Duh. Favre is from Mississippi. Which, as you’ll recall, is slightly dumber than South Carolina.
Amazing but true.
Favre, you’ll remember, retired in 2007 after sixteen [...]
