The Vikings most decorated player, guard Steve Hutchinson, has been shut out of two midseason All-Pro teams. Sports Illustrated and Pro Football Weekly both left Hutchinson, a six-time Pro Bowl and a five-time All-Pro selection, off their respective lists.

Hutchinson has made every start this season, despite a back injury that limited in practice for several weeks. Percy Harvin and Jared Allen were chosen by both publications, although the latter was not a unanimous pick by the editors of Pro Football Weekly. That is surprising since Allen currently leads the league with 10.5 sacks. Adrian Peterson was selected by Pro Football Weekly but was passed over by Tennessee's Chris Johnson by Sports Illustrated. Defensive tackle Kevin Williams was also picked by Sports Illustrated but not P...

Before we delve into a very, very special Watchtower—the first to feature an opponent that has already been Watchtower’d—let’s take a look at last week’s installment: Regardless of talent, Gunther Cunningham defenses disproportionately depress the scoring of Greg Knapp offenses, despite allowing typical rushing and passing per-play effectiveness.
