Herrera Done For Year With Torn ACL; Berrian Hurt Again

12

The Vikings have lost guard Anthony Herrera for the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee. Bernard Berrian, who has been stealing paychecks from the Wilf family for the last year and a half, played a whopping one whole series for the Vikings before "re-aggravating" his "groin." This team can't cut that guy soon enough for my liking.

Sidney Rice: "I'm Going To Play"

So sayeth Kevin Seifert. The full quote: "I'm going to play. I don't think I can go the whole game but I'm going to play as much as I can." This is definitely positive news, although it remains to be seen exactly how much he sees the field on Sunday against Green Bay.

By now, you've probably seen these artist renderings of the "new" NFL uniforms that were rumored to be coming around when Nike takes over the contract from Reebok in 2012. Well, good news. . .they're all fakes, according to Darren Rovell of CNBC. (Hat tip to Pro Football Talk) Good thing, too. . .as Chris Kluwe said on Twitter, these uniforms are far too subtle and lack sponsoring decals.

Pat Williams Wants To Play "A Couple More Years"

13

While much has already been made about the Vikings' old quarterback not returning next year, Minnesota's old defensive tackle sounds like he's not done yet. I think we have all come to terms that The Favre Who Cried Wolf won't be back in 2011. But should the Vikes keep Pat Williams, already the oldest defensive player in the NFL, around next year? I wouldn't mind keeping Phat Pat coming in to plug up the middle on rushing downs. Heck, I'd want him here just to hear some of his great sound bites a few times each year. But he's not much of a pass rush threat these days, and at 38 he won't be getting any younger (or skinnier). What do you think? Leave your comments below.

Brett Favre To Contact Dr. James Andrews About His Shoulder

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. . .if you're an elite athlete, there are three words that you never want to hear in conjunction with one another. Doctor. James. Andrews. EDIT: In an earth-shattering development, Favre has apparently changed his mind about the MRI. (Hat tip to NMVike for finding that story and bringing it to our attention.)
