NFL teams are all too familiar with injuries and plenty of clubs will be holding their breath hoping that injured stars in 2009 return to the field in 2010 without any lingering effects. Even if there are still issues with some players, plenty of teams have taken measures to ensure that they are not without contingency plans at important positions. Whether it be the addition of a free agent signing or a trade to acquire a seasoned veteran just in case the unforeseen should happen, teams are bracing for the ‘what ifs’ of the NFL landscape.

There are still some names on the free agent market, but none of those will garner the attention of St. Louis Rams safety O.J. Atogwe. It was made official that St. Louis decided not to re-tender him at the pricey $6.976 million that would have been required for such a move to ensure them of his presence on their roster in 2010. The Rams centerfielder on defense had his 2009 season shortened by a shoulder injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve and he also had hernia surgery this offseason. Those potential injury concerns will have to be thoroughly examined by any teams looking into inking him now that he is on the open market. More »


Different year, same offseason story for fans of the Minnesota Vikings or even just diehard Brett Favre devotees that hang on the Mississippi gunslinger’s every word. The word from this past week is that the soon to be 41 year old quarterback has undergone the necessary procedure on his ankle to remove scar tissue and bone spurs according to Favre’s website. Many will remember the severity of the ankle and hamstring injuries sustained by Favre in last year’s postseason and just how purple the two injuries were as seen in these photos. More »


It may be a bit premature to try and determine the winners and losers from this year’s NFL Draft, but that doesn’t stop the pundits nor myself from doing just that. With a number of teams trying to build for the future and turn their franchise histories around, the draft is the best way to go about doing just that. There are always a few teams that tend to excel more than others during the process and contrastingly there are a few franchises that just don’t seem to have a clue. This particular piece is going to criticize those franchises appearing to be a bit lost in terms of strategy and really clueless as far as scouting is concerned. More »


With the draft now a three day televised spectacle showcasing more genuine human drama than any episode of Survivor or Amazing Race could ever possibly hope to provide, the extreme highs and lows need to be treated equally as surprise events. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made the continuous trek to the podium to announce names during the first, second, and third rounds, but for some once projected first round talents those rounds just weren’t enough for them to hear their names called.

There has been a little rumor floating around that if Brett Favre retires this offseason, the Minnesota Vikings will pursue Donovan McNabb. If that is indeed the case, the Vikings should do everything in their power to get Brett to walk. More »


One of music’s greatest singers, Prince, has recently wrote a song dedicated to the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota native wrote the song in hopes of inspiring the Vikings to a win over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Conference Championship Game. More »


Everyone has their thoughts on who is going to represent each conference in the big game on February 7th, but which matchup actually offers the best on-field potential for yet another dramatic finish? More »


Remember how exciting (or daunting) report card day was back in school? The anxiety over what grades you would be taking home to mom and dad this term. Ugh. Well, there are no report cards persay in the NFL playoffs, but with the field narrowed down to just four contenders for the Lombardi trophy, grading the remaining participants sounds like a spectabulous idea.

One of the headlines from the NFC Championship game that has fallen through the cracks is Darren Sharper’s revenge against his former team and his former teammate.

Darren Sharper, who was a part of the Minnesota Vikings for 4 seasons, has the fortunate opportunity of knocking off his former team to go to the Super Bowl. Leading up to the game between Minnesota and Dallas, Sharper was interviewed, and he implied that he wanted to meet his former team in the NFC Championship game. He said that it added a little more excitement, and that he would enjoy seeing the familiar faces across the football field. More »
