As part of hate-on-Brett Favre week, Green Bay rechristened the city’s Minnesota Ave. “Aaron Rodgers Drive,” and erected a sign to indicate the temporary change.
On Saturday morning, an unnamed idiot was arrested by Green Bay police for stealing the sign.  And no, he isn’t a Vikings fan.
The cops reportedly pulled this fool over after noticing [...]

Last weekend we heard a report that Brad Childress, in an effort to loosen up the team heading into the Steelers game, had dressed as a female flight attendant complete with wig and make-up.  Now we have the pictures to prove it, courtesy of Visanthe Shiancoe’s twitter account by way of SportsbyBrooks.
In a word, “disturbing.”
Of [...]

It’s no secret that Packer fans harbor a ton of bitterness in their hearts over the way Brett Favre turned his back on them (after the Packers organization turned their backs on him in favor of the unproven Aaron Rodgers). It would be hard for them to insist otherwise, given the open demonstrations of scorn [...]

Last night, the Vikings‘ official site reported that former safety Orlando Thomas had died after battling ALS for several years. The story was immediately picked up by the Star-Trib and ESPN, and commented upon by luminaries like Dennis Green.
Not long afterward, a man purporting to be Thomas’s former teammate Jake Reed posted on his Twitter [...]

John David Booty had a pretty interesting career with the Vikings.  He got drafted, sat for a year on the bench behind Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte, watched Frerotte leave and probably thought he had a decent shot at being the #2 in 2009…
Saw the team trade for Sage Rosenfels (ugh) then sign Brett Favre [...]

Not long ago, Brett Favre remarked that, in his mind, the ‘09 Vikings are the best team he’s ever played on, even better than the Packers team that won the Super Bowl after the ‘96 season.
Clearly, Brett was just trying to butter up his teammates and Vikings fans with that remark.  Unfortunately, certain members of [...]

Today’s 10 points:
1.  The defense played better than I ever anticipated it would given the circumstances.  Big ups to the defensive line, especially Pat Williams who got back to being Pat Williams after, I thought, a weak first few games.  And big ups to Karl Paymah who not only did not embarrass himself, but actually [...]

A report by ESPN’s Chris Mortensen earlier on Sunday said that Antoine Winfield was suffering from a fractured foot and might miss as many as six weeks.
Antoine Winfield would like to kindly disagree with that report.  The cornerback says the foot is only sprained, and that his status is day-to-day, meaning he could conceivably play [...]

This Percy Harvin kick-off return momentarily gave the Vikings hope (until they lost it again when Chester Taylor couldn’t haul in a screen pass from Brett Favre).  It is memorable not only for Percy, but for Jeff Dugan running over the back judge.  Amazingly, there are people who suggest Dugan ran the official over on [...]

It looked like the Favre magic was going to work again today in Pittsburgh, until a screen pass to Chester Taylor went awry, handing the Steelers a heartbreaking and game-ending pick-6.
The play came just after one of the most impressive runs of Adrian Peterson’s career, a third down reception and freight-train job on William Gay [...]
