Vikings Playoff Chances Takes Another Hit

Look, I am of the thought that injuries aren't an excuse.  They are a reason, but not something you can hang a season on.  I also don't wish bad on anybody, but I'm not sure if I out feel bad for the Vikings (Maybe becase the Vikes blogger is a good guy) or just take what is given and run.

As you know the Vikings recently lost Pat and Kevin  Williams to suspension due to a positive test for illegal substances.  They are already having to promote two backups, Fred Evans and Ellis Wynn to replace them.  Now they lose more depth as defensive end Brian Robinson is now lost for several weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

I'll let the Vikings players say it best:

"That's a nightmare," he said. "You don't like to have nightmares. --Darren Sharper

several weeks?

Interesting… not many arthroscopic knee surgeries cause an NFL player to be out for several weeks.

Bringing moderation to a place I don't moderate.

Williams' injunction granted

Judge just ruled in their favor for now. They can practice. This week’s game is still in the air.

Word is that the illegal substance was put into these supplements taken

and the NFL had knowledge of this, so that these players would take the supplements, get caught, and therefore the NFL could show politicians that its drug testing is working. Seems like a pretty big story and all the suspended players should be on the field Sunday.

Thank you,
these bumblefucks think the Sox are going to trade Dye. I said I would cancel my membership on here in martyrdom of Dye being traded.
