Tied after overtime. Quite the battle.

Vikings were down by quite a bit. Just didn't come back far enough.

What are the Pats up to? Oh. That's right. Just starting against the Jaguars.

Vikes/Packers game was fun and left me (and a lot of other Vikings fans) optimistic about this team. It sure looks like Cousins is what we hoped he would be. Maybe even better. And Thielen and Diggs, Wow!

And Fitzpatrick! What a story! I might have to be Bucs fan, as well!

The first for weeks don't look too good til Edelman returns, among others.

The Browns have one they would let them have real cheap.

He cost them 20 points. It wouldn't have even been close if he had not had a meltdown for the ages. Poor Browns. I feel bad for them.

The Vikings cut their kicker today. He was a college stud and they used a 5th round pick to get him, but through the preseason and first two games, he had missed half of his kicks, and after missing three very makeable kicks against the Pack, including two that would have won the game in OT, enough was enough.
During today's press conference, a reporter asked coach Zimmer if cutting him was a tough decision. Zimmer, said, "Did you watch the game?"
The kid will get another chance somewhere, sometime. He has to get his mojo back, keep his leg in shape, and wait for an injury opening or spring training invite (along with a dozen other hopefuls biding their time and kicking at any high school or college that will let them use their field).
(it sounds like the Vikings will sign former Dallas kicker, Dan Bailey.)

It was a tough weekend for the Carlson family. Daniel Carlson missed three field goals against the Packers on Sunday and was cut. On Saturday, his brother, Anders Carlson missed a field goal that would have allowed Auburn to beat LSU.

... (kickers live on a carousal; up, down, go around.) I'm not a kicker, but I had my share of lively carousals way back when...!  |
