There is definitely a recurring theme in the NFL these days – Tony Romo, Vince Young, Phillip Rivers, Matt Leinart - all newborns to the starting quarterback role in the NFL and all wasting no time in solidifying their roles. First we have Tony Romo, who could have come completely unraveled with all the early season upheaval in Dallas, but instead after being handed the reigns...

Sapp & KennedyNot exactly earth shattering news, but the Minnesota Vikings re-signed Benny Sapp (CB) and Jimmy Kennedy (DT) to one year deals. Sapp will battle to be the dime back and Kennedy is a possible backup for either members of the Williams Wall.McKinnieOther interesting news, Bryant McKinnie (OT) appears to have lucked out again. He was set to go to trial for a brawl...

In late Winter of 2005, the Minnesota Vikings cleaned house of the team's most expensive luxury, wide-receiver Randy Moss. On the verge of having a portion of his remaining contract guaranteed, Moss was a player that Red McCombs could not bear to keep even as the former Vikings' owner put the finishi...

In a previous post, the point was made that financial considerations might compel the Minnesota Vikings to retain underwhelming wide-receiver Troy Williamson in 2008 rather than letting the receiver walk. Uncovered in that discussion was a consideration of timing.The problem that the Vikings face, is...

Entering the 2007-2008 off-season, the Minnesota Vikings were certain of having to fill voids at wide-receiver, backup safety, and right offensive tackle. It now appears likely that the Vikings, either through their own volition or by edict of the NFL, will have another spot along the offensive line ...

In a previous column, the Minnesota Vikings received plaudits for their quick response to free agency, a response that netted the team cornerback Madieu Williams, wide-receiver Bernard Berrian, and full-back Thomas Tapeh. At the time, the Vikings still had defensive end Justin Smith in their sights, ...

Throughout the week, Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress has repeated his new favorite cliche that he will "play the quarterback that gives us the best chance to win." For most head coaches, that means actually playing the quarterback who gives their team the best chance to win. For Childres...

Eagles' defensive end Chris Clemons was taken to the hospital Tuesday because of dehydration, again begging the question, why do football teams practice in the summer? (For more on the actual story, read here.) Seriously though, can someone please explain to me why in the world guys suit up in full pads and do two a days in 80+ degree heat? Wouldn't you think that with...

Curiouser and curiouser … ESPN is reporting that Jared Allen is seeking a trade to be settled before the draft.
