RE: CULPEPPER... From off "The REAL Feed":
NFL Notebook: Culpepper tears up knee, lost for season
The Seattle Times: Seahawks (01.11.2005 05:06)
The demoralized Minnesota Vikings surely believed their already dire situation couldn't become any worse. Then came confirmation Monday...
It's crazy to say, but from a fantasy perspective this might end up being a good thing. I feel bad for C-Pep and all, BUT fantasy footballers from sea to shining sea needed a dose of the smelling salts regarding what to expect from him this season (and perhaps for some time to come). This guy is just NOT the same without Moss. It's time to face it. He is... was NOT a #1 fantasy commodity anymore,... right now. This injury will hopefully get fantasy footballers who have been depending on him to wake up, pick up the pieces and starting moving in a new direction...

Looks like Michael Bennett came in and took advantage of Moore's injury. Any scoop out there?

Not yet. I didn't get a chance to listen to Tice's press conference yet, and no one is saying how serious MeMo is hurt; however, Bennett was supposed to be the feature of the offense going into the season. The fact that he had such a great showing means, at the very least, he'll split carries with MeMo next week. And if MeMo's elbow/wrist doesn't improve, he could take it over for much of the rest of the season.
If you have a junk roster spot and Bennett is still there, I'd grab him.

Oh, and, by the way, while I wish no one to lose his/her job during the holidays and this is surely a crappy way to "kick off" the New Year, I think this is the right move for the Vikings organization. I look forward to hearing the response of some of our "purple people eaters"  around here, but I, for one, never thought very much of Mike Tice as a head coach. He just did not seem to me to have the proverbial "it"... that it takes to be an NFL-caliber head coach. He's just not a dynamic leader type, and I don't think he had a clue as to how to help sort out and properly employ ALL that talent on offense they, in fact, do have.

Ehhhhh,... kid, the issue of your post was NOT so much about its being in the "wrong spot" as it was our effort to consolidate "run-of-the-mill-ish" type news stuff onto these "in-season report" threads. You just didn't know about that. The fact is, other than our doing that, your post was in the EXACT right spot... in "the Red Zone". ... That having been said, thanks for having such an understanding attitude!  That's awesome...  AND MUCH appreciated!  |

Look for a new GM and head coach. Money is on Eagle's front office guru Tom Heckert to become the new GM. He will most likely turn around and hire Brad Childress, the Eagles offensive coordinator, to become the new head coach. (this will crush the Eagles)

 Well, it's official...almost!
From "The REAL Feed":
Vikings settle on Childress
For my part, I like the move,  especially if they keep Cottrell (no word there yet). If Ted can keep the D playing well, and Childress can even do a sliver of what Linehan did for the Vikings O...and especially for Culpepper, this will be a terrific signing.
The bad...another candidate with NO head coaching experience!  
Hey Philly, whaddaya think about Childress?

I like him a lot. I think he'll really get a chance to shine in Minnesota. He really took a backseat to Andy Reid here in Philly, as Reid was too involved in the offense at times. Then they brought in Marty Mornihweg and he took over some responsibilities too. I think Childress is happy to get out from under all that. He's a really good guy who the players seem to like and respond to (except for TO, who felt that Childress was antagonizing him in training camp by saying hello to him).
He'll probably bring some of the assistants with him too, and we've got some good ones. And don't worry about him not having the head coaching experience. Andy Reid didn't either, and Childress learned a lot from him about how to run a team.
