I’m thinking we should find out today if quarterback Brett Favre is going to be fined for the crackback block he threw Monday night against Houston safety Eugene Wilson while the Vikings were running a third-quarter play out of the Wildcat formation.
The NFL usually announces its fines for the previous weekend’s games on the following Friday and [...]

Brett Favre’s crackback block had already garnered him plenty of criticism, and now it has cost him in the wallet too. Today the NFL fined the quarterback $10,000 for going low on Texans defensive back Eugene Wilson, according to multiple tweets (Judd Zulgad got there first so we’ll cite him).
The play happened during Monday night’s [...]

This is the full 53-man roster as of Sunday morning, practice squad additions to be made public some time today. There are 6 rookies including the undrafted Jon Cooper. Brett Favre, entering his 18th season, is the longest-tenured. If there are any mistakes, blame them on Vikings.com, cause I copied and pasted it from there.

Say what you will about the morality issues tied in with Mike Vick's return to the NFL, but perhaps it is another QB who's return was much-discussed about whom we should be worrying the most. Brett Favre has been fined ten boxes of ziti (Sopranos marathon, FTW!) for his crackback block on Houston safety Eugene Wilson during the Vikings' preseason win over the Texans this past Monday...

Brett Favre mania is kicking up a few storms in the hobby, and a situation like the Threads card auction doesn’t surprise me one bit. Mario reported that the first auction is over and the card has sold for over eighty dollars. This is top dollar for a card that has 4,000+ copies, has no auto, no relic, and no serial numbering. In fact, there are some Favre autos you can purchase...

While the NFL pretends to be a silent observer, they’re wildly cheering the returns of Brett Favre and Michael Vick. I assume that the two returning stars have increased television ratings. Similarly, both men have had their jerseys crack the top 5 in sales. The [...]

by Matt SnyderFiled under: NFL FansSo, how is that boycott the NFL because of Michael Vick movement going? How about the sentiment that everyone hates Brett Favre? When taking a look at the highest selling jerseys in the NFL at present, we stumble upon a more apt word in describing the two: Polarizing. Sure, there are plenty of people who loathe both players, but there are plenty...

Knock us all over with not surprise, but Minnesota is quietly shopping Tavaris Jackson. With cutdown day looming, and Minnesota heavy by one at quarterback thanks to the arrival of Brett Favre, I would imagine that Jackson’s value is worth slightly less than belly button lint.

With Bassett and Corey out and about today, the rest of us are manning the ship. Stick around for cutdown news later today…
Hutch reports that Vernon Gholston is showing signs of improvement, but we can exclusively reveal he changed the headline after originally referring to flashes of greatness and then having second thoughts.
