Antoine Winfield Hasn't Filed Retirement Papers

+

I'd call the odds of Winfield returning to the NFL being slim to none. But, nothing is official, until it's official. And, Winfield hasn't officially filed his retirement papers yet.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts Winning CBS Pick 'Em Challenge, has Bears over Vikings

+

I know there are a lot of wrestling fans on this site, so this one caught my eye. Apparently, Jake "The Snake" Roberts (one of my all-time favorite wrestlers from the 80s as a kid) has challenged the writers over at CBS Sports to an NFL Pick'Em over twitter. And after one week, he's winning! He's picked Chicago over the Vikings this week.

Does Being a Team Captain Matter?

+

This is primarily an article about Josh Freeman being removed as one of the Bucs team captains. But buried at the bottom of the article, it mentions that 6 other NFL teams don't have their QB as a captain, including Ponder and the Vikings...and all of them lost in Week 1. Coincidence?

Vikings Work out DT Andre Fluellen

It was obvious to most of us here on the Daily Norsemen that the Vikings failed to find an adequate starting NT during the off-season.

But, this might be a little too late.

This was a pretty low-blow by Suh, and although Sullivan says he's "cool with it", the league apparently didn't think so.

This was a little nugget I missed last week, but according to Leslie Frazier, Ballard is not likely to return to the Vikings. It's still shrouded in mystery as to the reasons why, but our defensive line just got a little thinner.

Vikings Week One Jottings: Bush is a Beast, Pondering about Ponder and Fun with the Box Score

+

I wrote some observations about what went wrong, what went right and a bunch of other stuff about the Vikings' Week 1 loss to the Lions. Also Adrian did something that Ndamukong Suh should do, but didn't.

Key for Vikings to Leave Detroit Victorious

+

On my blog, I wrote about what I believe the main thing the Vikings have to do to beat the Lions in Week 1 action. I'm really just glad the football is back, too.
