The meter on Brett Favre is running again. Oh, the hypocrisy. Vikings Coach Brad Childress was pissing and moaning months ago because Adrian Peterson missing a worthless workout. Favre? Take your time dude, no problem, Childress says. Favre is holding the Vikings hostage again, but the club has to know he’s returning, no?

We’re Talking About Practice

Brad Childress will never be confused with the smartest tool in the shed or even being one of the smartest coaches in the NFL. He let the Vikings know this week that it’s OK for Brett Favre to hold the team hostage as long as he wants, but he starts pissing and moaning if Adrian Peterson, the best running back in the league, misses a day of minicamp.

Peterson’s Hometown Fans Are Rooting For Him, But They’re Rooting More For Cowboys
-
Wade Phillips hit it on the head: They should have never let Adrian Peterson out of Texas. But after a standout career as a high school phenom in Palestine, Texas, Peterson headed north for OU, where he immediately put his name in the national spotlight. Now as he and the Vikings prepare for Sunday’s showdown against the Cowboys, his homies are rooting for him to do well, but not that well.

Heavyweight Showdown: Purple Reign? Or Will The Cowboys Show Their True Colors?
- We see a resemblance.
We could compare notes, but I’m sure we’d agree ‘Boys-Vikings is the main event this weekend. How about the plots in this one? So many. Brett Favre for starters. Last game? Could be. That would be a real tear-jerker. So who’s going to be the man? Adrian Peterson, who’s been getting an earful? Tony Romo, who lately has become the hottest thing since sliced bread? DeMarcus Ware? Miles Austin? First down. Bryant McKinnie? Phil Loadholt? Or of course, homeboy’s favorite above, Jared Allen.
We can see that. Vikings 35, Cowboys 31.

Hey, Didn’t You Used To Be…
-
All Day? We imagine Adrian Peterson has had plenty of time to stew over that fumble that cost the Vikings in a loss to the Bears and how his stock tanked for the final month of the season. Dude, what’s up? So will Peterson be the difference against the Cowboys? Careful, he’s a dangerous man right now. He’ll be the heat that will take heat off the ‘Boys’ pass rush against Brett Favre? Doesn’t mean we’re picking the Vikes (we’ll weigh in later), just something for the ‘Boys to think about.
And what about the Colts? The Ravens, Saints, Cardinals, Jets and Chargers? Read on.
