Minnesota Vikings

By Associated Press Josh Wilson is unlikely to play Sunday at Minnesota because of a concussion, leaving the Seahawks without a starting cornerback against Brett Favre and the high-flying Vikings.

Vikings coach Brad Childress is happy to be staying in Minnesota for several more years. Players say they're pleased his contract has been extended, too.

By John Holler Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could be emerging as a head coaching candidate as the Vikings experience more offensive success this season. His name is beginning to surface in reports, but he said his focus remains on winning in Minnesota first.

The Minnesota Vikings want a new stadium. And the team wants one that will likely cost $900 million-plus.

By Tim Yotter Vikings coach Brad Childress signed a contract extension Thursday, one that will reportedly keep him with the team through at least 2013.

By The Sports Xchange Amid reports of a looming contract extension, Brad Childress has accomplished his goal in three-plus years. The team is 8-1, second in the NFC, and free from the major off-the-field incidents that caused distractions years ago.

By ericj69 Four More Years of Chilly The Vikings and Brad Childress have agreed to a contract that will keep Mr. Noodle in Minneapolis through 2013. The numbers aren't finalized, but it sounds like he'll get between $4 million and $5 million a year. Not bad for someone who's never won a playoff game. Pers...

By By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- One day after being told by the Minnesota Vikings that extending the lease at the Metrodome was not an option, the team's landlord made the offer anyway and infuriated the only major tenant left in the stadium.

By Jeff Hughes The Saints, Vikings and Cardinals are going to the postseason (and probably in that seeding order).  The Cowboys, Eagles and Giants will jockey for the NFC East right to the end, but for the sake of argument let's say the Cowboys win the division.

By Tim Yotter & John Holler The Vikings have an incredible amount of players in the top five among NFC players in the fan portion of Pro Bowl voting. That includes 10 Vikings who lead the NFC at their respective positions. Fan voting accounts for one-third of the total voting in deciding who actually makes the Pro Bowl.

By Gonzo According to the good folks at SI.com, immediately after Minnesota's 27-10 victory over the Detroit Lions yesterday, Vikings' coach Brad Childress was on the phone with the NFL's VP of Officiating, Mike Periera.  Chilly was apparently livid over the helmet-to-helmet hit call against d...

By Anthony21 What went wrong for the Vikings today? Simple: Unforced errors. Too many penalties (though some, most notably a roughing the passer call which ultimately gave the Lions seven points rather than three, were horrible calls), a turnover by Adrian Peterson as he sprinted his way toward the e...

By Associated Press Brett Favre passed for a season-high 344 yards, 201 to Sidney Rice, and the Vikings beat the Lions 27-10 on Sunday.

By frehleyscomet The last part of line one, in favor of the god, the child. This can only refer to Brett Favre and Brad Childress. Favre in many fans eyes is a godlike figure, a savior, especially to Brad Childress, the coach of the Vikings. Childress risked his entire career on Favre, forsaking Jackson, laying...

By Gonzo Well, last week the Steelers provided the Vikings with their biggest challenge of the season to date, and the Vikings responded by. . .putting up their worst red zone performance of the year.  This is what we in the business call "bad timing."

By Bill Huber Were two blowout victories over inferior teams proof that these Packers are ready for a huge showdown on Sunday afternoon against Minnesota? After all, the Browns and Lions combined probably couldn't beat the Vikings.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh with a sprained right foot. That means it is highly unlikely the Pro Bowler will be on the field when the undefeated Vikings play Pittsburgh's second-ranked passing offense.

By Drew Magary Just a reminder: I'll be heading to Minneapolis on Monday morning to cover Packers-Vikings for this fair site. What can you expect from our little excursion? RUBBED BEEF!

By Sean Jensen The quarterback options are limited now, although veteran Jeff Garcia was just released by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Miami Dolphins, after losing Chad Pennington for the year to a shoulder injury, traded for former Viking quarterback Tyler Thigpen.

By Adam Warwas The Favre We Were Waiting For As expected, the Vikings unleashed Favre today.  He threw a whopping 46 passes, completing 24.  He became the first quarterback in the Childress era to toss a 300 yard game.  He ended with 2 touchdowns and 1 pick.

Vikings Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky and offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye both spoke to the media today. One big topic for Manusky was Adrian Peterson and his 3-yard effort against the 49ers back in 2007. Raye also spoke on some current team injury issues, including that of WR Brand...

By Gonzo The Vikings, on the other hand, should have no such problem.  While the Bengals were #12 in the league in total yards allowed in 2008, they were 21st against the run.  They were also a blistering 1-7 on the road.  There are no easy wins in the National Football League. . .but I would be pretty surpris...

No, not Adrian Peterson. And no, not that starting quarterback who has yet to be identified. For the upcoming 2009 season, the Vikings' Super Bowl chances seem to hinge on one player. Percy Harvin brings all three of those qualities to the Minnesota Vikings.

By danzinski I get the strong sense that if the Vikings are going to do any deal with Favre that coach Brad Childress wants to be assured that Favre will report to training camp in game shape, with no restrictions on throwing or his condition. They’d also like Favre to be involved in the mental part of team a...

By Adam Warwas Jamarca Sanford was the Vikings last pick of this weekend’s draft, and he also comes with an arrest record which includes stealing a car stereo, disorderly conduct, and failure to comply. Sanford told Childress he didn’t need to worry about that ever again and apparently Childress belie...

By vikes geek(noreply@blogger.com) Rumors of the Vikings' impending move to Los Angeles, the creation of a triumvirate of actors in the NFL offices, the Vikings' front office, and the Vikings' flagship radio station, are not new, stemming from the fact that the Vikings' lease at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome expires in 2...

Three quarters of the NFL regular season have been played and we head into what should be an exciting fourth quarter. Nineteen teams are in strong contention for postseason play.   The Giants, Titans, Cardinals and Broncos each have three-game leads in their divisions and are on the verge...

There's a three-way dogfight in the NFC North between the 5-3 Bears and 4-4 Vikings and Packers. Coach of the Year: Mike Smith, John Harbaugh, Eric Mangini MVP - Offense: Drew Brees, Kurt Warner, Clinton Portis RoY - Offense: Matt Ryan, Chris Johnson

By Bob Sansevere Vikings win, 28-27.                          The Packers opened the game with a three-and-out. And the Vikings got lucky. On third down, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed a wide-open Jordy Nelson. The Vikings got a nice return into Packers territory by Charles Gordon.

By Alex Hardin Kurt Warner, QB, Arizona Cardinals – If the Cardinals keep it up and make noise in the east, will Warner be mentioned for MVP? He put up 342 yards and two touchdowns.

By Judd Zulgad Vikings coach Brad Childress appeared on KFAN Radio today and talked about the Giants’ victory over New England on Sunday. Childress also said that on Tuesday the Vikings coaches will start talking about free agents. Here is the link to the interview.

By Gonzo What's even more unfortunate is that the Vikings, thanks to Brad Childress' infinite stubbornness and inability to evaluate the progress of his players, don't currently HAVE anything better at the quarterback position to turn to.  There's absolutely no point in playing Kelly Holcomb...

By Gonzo I know that Childress wants to develop Tarvaris Jackson into a great quarterback at the NFL level.  But he has to balance this out with his potential job security.  Zygi Wilf wants to field a winner.  Zygi Wilf also has stadium funding he wants to get approved for the Vikings.  Another 6-10 seas...

By Gonzo At least, that's the take from Smilin' Jimmy Souhan at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.  I'm amazed at how quick some of the Twin Cities media types are to throw anyone and everyone associated with the Vikings under the bus. Friday, the Vikings' lone field goal was their lone offensive highli...
