		<title>Vikings at 8/1 to Win Super Bowl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Vikings have been one of the biggest stories in the NFL all season, and now, Vegas is warming to them too.  The latest odds (courtesy of Bodog.com) place the Purple at 7/2 to win the NFC, and 8/1 to claim their first Lombardi Trophy.
At 3/1, the Saints are right now considered the best bet [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Possibility of Jared Allen Killing Percy Harvin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How does one sum up the talents of Viking phenom Percy Harvin?  Noted locker room grappler Adrian Peterson tried it by whipping out an unusual animal analogy culled from his rural experiences.
&#8220;I call him a young hog,&#8221; Peterson said while gushing about Harvin&#8217;s abilities.  &#8220;I’m from the country and I know how wild boars get [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Points: Vikings Hang on vs. Packers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday&#8217;s 10 Points:
1.  I don&#8217;t know if the emotion of the homecoming helped Brett Favre, but it certainly didn&#8217;t hurt him.  One thing&#8217;s for sure:  Brett likes playing against the Packers.  In his two games against them this year, he is 41-for-59 with 515 yards, 7 TDs and no picks.  2 of his 3 highest [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Blow-Out Becomes a Nailbiter &#8211; Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve seen this bit before.  The Vikings build a big lead, only to watch their defense go softer than Minnesota snow, letting the other team back in.
That&#8217;s why, as the Packers clawed their way up from the bottom of a 24-3 well in the second half today, we experienced such a sinking feeling.
Aaron Rodgers, after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Favre Has Answer for Jeering Packer Fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Packer fans booed Brett Favre lustily when he trotted onto the field for his first game at Lambeau as a member of the enemy.
By halftime, Favre had shut up the thousands of bitter cheeseheads by leading the Vikings to a 17-3 lead.  With a lot of help from Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin (whose long kick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pregame Wackiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You knew things would get crazy when Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field.  You just didn&#8217;t know the craziness would extend to the pregame injury reports.
The madness began much earlier today when it was suggested by FoxSports.com&#8217;s John Czarnecki aka the Czar that Bernard Berrian would not play today despite being listed as questionable on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 8: Vikings @ Packers &#8211; Getting Back on the Horse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Vikings experienced something last weekend in Pittsburgh that they hadn&#8217;t all season:  losing.  Now they long to spit that sour taste out of their mouths, and once again drink deep the sweet nectar of victory.
But it is no ordinary nectar they seek to partake of this Sunday afternoon in Green Bay.  It is, instead, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stay Classy, Green Bay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of hate-on-Brett Favre week, Green Bay rechristened the city&#8217;s Minnesota Ave. &#8220;Aaron Rodgers Drive,&#8221; 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&#8217;t a Vikings fan.
The cops reportedly pulled this fool over after noticing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chilly&#8217;s Early Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


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&#8217;s twitter account by way of SportsbyBrooks.
In a word, &#8220;disturbing.&#8221;

		<title>Bitterness Running High, and Silly, in Green Bay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>
