One thing we know about Brett Favre is that he wasn’t like most quarterbacks. He actually encouraged physical play, and took a beating throughout his career, and played through the pain over 19 years in the NFL. Favre would do whatever he could to win a football game, regardless of what the other team was [...]

There will be a day, very soon, when Favre comes out this tunnel again. He will be cheered, he will get his jersey retired, he will cry and I do believe that Packer Nation will open their arms to the old gunslinger.

Brett Favre was abused a lot during the NFC Championship game a few years ago, when the Minnesota Vikings quarterback kept getting hit hard on almost every play against the New Orleans Saints. It’s pretty well-known now that the Saints tried placing a bounty on him.
Favre said he doesn’t mind. Really, he doesn’t care that they tried to injure him.
“My feeling, and I mean...

In a move that shouldn't surprise anyone because the guy is clearly a Muslim and has the first name of KNOWN TERRORISTS AND DICTATORS, Minnesota Vikings safety Husain Abdullah has taken a "leave of absence" from the NFL to focus all of his energies on being a terrorist. Or something like that.
"Yeah, he came to us this week and let us know that he was taking...

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier told 1500 ESPN (per CBS Sports) that Percy Harvin’s “snaps may go up.”
“Touches, I don’t know about that. We want to keep him on the field more, but his style — he’s a reckless guy and doesn’t hold anything back,” said Frazier. It’s always goes 100 miles an hour. So you have to be careful about not...

When the Minnesota Vikings move from the Metrodome to a new stadium in 2016, it will end a sweet - and unusual -- deal that has brought former Vikings general manager Mike Lynn millions of dollars over the past 30 years, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. During the early stages of his 15-year stay with the Vikings as their general manager, Lynn negotiated a contract that gave...

By Len PasquarelliThe Sports Xchange Since even close associates of Percy Harvin were confused this week by the wide receiver's one-day boycott of the Minnesota minicamp -- other than to say that the absence was not contract-related -- the source of the three-year veteran's unhappiness with his situation is curious. Compounding the confusion was the Friday morning report...

In April, the Indianapolis Colts made Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck the number one overall pick. The Washington Redskins went on to pay a king’s ransom to move up from the sixth pick to the second pick in order to take Robert Griffin III. Personally, I think...
