Fri, 29 May 2009 14:43:36 -0500

The fine folks at EA Sports have released the official player rankings for the newest installment of the highly popular Madden NFL football series, Madden 10 (evidently not Madden ‘10, as I would’ve expected).

7 Days of Draftsmas: Rehashing 2003

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 09:32:40 -0500

The most memorable moment in recent Vikings draft history, outside of Adrian Peterson’s selection a couple of years ago, was undoubtedly the infamous 2003 skipped pick episode. Everyone still gives the Vikings grief over that gaffe, which saw the team failing to use its #7 pick in timely fashion, allowing two teams to pick ahead of them before they themselves selected Kevin Williams. All these years later, there is still debate over what actually happened: some believe the Vikings ski...

The Williams Wall Needs to be Very Careful

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:56:05 -0500

So most of my friends who like football are Vikings fans. Most were heartbroken when they found out about the suspensions to Pat and Kevin Williams. Then they were elated when they heard that their suspensions are being fought in court. Well don't jump to conclusions my silly purple-loving friends. This appeal is not necessarily good.
