Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:45:00 -0500

Thanks to Brett Favre, the Vikes DRILLED the Bears 36-10 on Sunday at Metrodome.Minnesota held Chicago to 12 plays for 12 yards in the second half.

Adrian Peterson scored a touchdown on a five yard run in the fourth quarter. Purple Jesus had 85 yards on 25 c...

Nerd Alert

This is a very rare and difficult thing for someone with such Packer pride, but this week I’d actually like to extend my praise to some of the Vikings players, notably the ones named Bernard Berrian, Percy Harvin, Adrian Peterson, Chester Taylor and Sidney Rice. These five purple-toting pigskinners comprise the elite group I have dubbed Penta Lambda.Let’s say you were playing a fill-in-the-blanks kind of game and you were told that five guys names Bernard, Percy, Adrian, Chester and Sidney we...

10 Points: Vikings Maul Bears

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:48:54 -0500

Another week, another decisive victory. My 10 points… 1. Brett Favre’s performance was not his best of the season passer-rating wise, but it was his best in terms of spreading the ball around to his main receivers. Percy Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice and Chester Taylor all caught 6 balls, and Visanthe Shiancoe caught 5 (would’ve [...]

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:10:33 -0500

(AP Photo/Star Tribune,Jerry Holt) View full size photo » Yes, I know that we've only played ten games this season, and I know that this might come off as being a bit premature.

Vikings give back

Adrian Peterson and Tarvaris Jackson took time today to give back to underprivileged families who reside at Mary's Place in Minneapolis.

"It's always good to give back," Jackson said. "With our job that we have, we're fortunate enough to give back, and we always sho...

Fantasy Outlook: Vikings RB Chester Taylor

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:30:13 -0500

I started my fantasy outllook features by taking a look at Adrian Peterson, so I figured it was only fitting to follow that up with some analysis as to how his back up will fare in fantasy leagues this season. THE GOOD: Chester Taylor has been one of the best backup running backs in the league [...]

COULD THE EAGLES DRAFT MAC-FAD

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:18:10 -0500

The Eagles are widely believed to be very interested in moving into the top ten. But teams don't trade up for the privilege of picking higher; they do so because there's a player they covet. Since the Eagles haven't been able to acquire a veteran receiver who can open up the rest of the offense, why not land a game-breaking tailback who can do the same? Sure, the Eagles have Brian Westbrook. And the Vikings have Chester Taylor.

Robin Sports NFL Guide: Minnesota Vikings Preview

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 02:53:41 -0500

The Vikings return for 2007 after a disappointing 2006 campaign. Coach Childress is entering his second season at the helm and has made some solid personnel decisions this off-season. The problem at QB is glaring, but the addition of Peterson to complement Taylor and the fact that the Vikes boast one of the best O-lines in the league will help whichever of the inexperienced slingers earns the job. The Vikes defense made long strides last season and should be just as effective this season.....Continue reading by clicking on the URL!
