This Vikings fan is just sick (and that's 'sick' in the old fashioned sense)

Its been alleged that Adrian Peterson beat another of his children.

However, somehow he's back with the Vikings and eligible to play on Sunday.

Surely he'll get a ban for this?!?!

[OCD]

If he can be unavailable on the 3rd October that would be just swell.

The Vikings have reversed track and made Peterson ineligible. Not exactly a ban but it has the same effect

The Vikings couldn't be seen to be taking the decision lightly. I wouldn't be surprised if they get the court date moved up though.

...........and out goes another one

I hope we release Hester. There's no point in keeping a kick returner when the league has gone out of its way to ban kick returns.

Yes, plus you might as well put a rookie in the returning positions, say a running back or wide receiver.

Yep, that Hester bloke is well past it

Um...... thanks for turning up Tampa. 56-0 down before getting two garbage time TDs

A mate of mine is a Bucs fan so it was very funny seeing his tweets from during the game. Like his suggestion to fire the cannons for having got a first down.

Rob Bironas, kicker for the Titans up until last season has been killed in a car crash at age 36

Anyone else going to the Dolphins v Raiders game at Wemberleee on Sunday ?

[cdbearsfan]

No. I had a great time at the Bears-Bucs game a few years back but I'll wait till the Bears come over again for my next match.

Is Redzone on this weekend? Tempted to pay to watch the Bears-Packers game though I'll probably regret it considering our record against Rodgers.

[OCD]

Detroit's record against us didn't seem to be a problem for them.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hoping we get some players back to play the Packers, seem to have a tonne of players out:-

WR Marshall/ WR Jeffery/ WR Morgan/WR Wilson (Out for Season)/TE Miller/OG Slauson/OC Garza/DT Ratliff/OLB McClellin/CB Tillman (Out for Season)/FS Mundy/SS Conte

I think Marshall and Jeffery will continue to play whilst being injured. Our Offensive Line has held up pretty well without Slauson and Garza. I worry about our Secondary a bit and Ratliff has played really well when healthy, so hopefully he'll be back.

Oh and the Full Back Fiammetta. Our running has been dreadful so far this season and him getting another injury will no doubt make it worse. Having said that, the Packers aren't great against the run, Forte tore them up last season.

[cdbearsfan]

So, shall I ditch Peterson from my Fantasy Team or do we reckon he might be playing again in the near future? I have a fear that he'll miss all their games against our rivals and play against Da Bears.
