    • Peterson Injury Highlights Viking Weaknesses

      POSTED BY KENNETH ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 13 2007 01:08 PM | PERMALINK

      With all eyes of the NFL Nation on Adrian Peterson this week expecting to see more examples of all-time greatness as we saw last week, we instead saw the frightening worry surrounding this player's durability. Which is unfair, considering the hit he took to his knee was one to lay even the most durable low. Still, with the concerns over his long-term health and the immense amount of promise built up by the first half of the season, it was a jarring moment. Luckily for Peterson and those that love...

      Any more whining for us this week, Ray?

      -It's far past time to pile on the pitiful Ravens and the complete freefall they are in.

      Tom Brady
      Not many quarterbacks can overshadow Peyton Manning but Tom Brady has been up to the task all year long while leading his Patriots to a perfect 9-0 record. Last week Brady threw his league leading 33rd touchdown and suddenly even Manning’s single season touchdown record is...

      This just in: The Raiders want a draft do-over.

      The one record I most wanted to be broken in NFL football was the single-game rushing record. It never quite sat right with me that Jamal Lewis got to hold that record after beating up on a sorry Browns defense. Even though they would never admit it, I'm sure Corey Dillon and Walter Payton agree. I did not, however, expect it to ever happen. 296 yards or more in an NFL game by a running back seemed almost impossible, since defenses as bad as the one...
