We're no big fan of the Vikings around here. Not at all. But after watching them blow a chance to beat the Colts at home Sunday, we've come to a simple conclusion: It's a damn shame Brad Childress isn't taking advantage of Adrian Peterson's immense talent.

Ray Lewis is fond of saying that he gets paid to practice; he plays the games on Sunday for free. Turns out the Minnesota Vikings don't want that saying to apply only to Ray Lewis.Troy Williamson wasn't with the team during Sunday's win over (sigh) the San Diego Chargers. No, ...
