Posted By Eddie Griffin On Friday, October 29th 2010. Under NFL Tags: Brad Childress, Brett Favre, Jenn Sterger, Minnesota Vikings, NFC North, Tarvaris Jackson

Is there anyone out there who feels a shred of pity for the Minnesota Vikings with their current struggles and daily Favre, Favre, Favre drama? I certainly don’t, because they’re getting exactly what they paid for. Perhaps some might consider it a low blow, considering his past, but Favre is ... Continue Reading

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, January 26th 2010. Under NFL Tags: Brett Favre, Minnesota, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans, New Orleans Saints, NFC Championship, NFC North, NFL playoffs, Pat Williams, Super Bowl

Let's face it, Brett Favre's "interception heard round the world" has been ridiculed and dissected from every angle. It need not be done so in this article as well. Rather than regurgitate everything that took place in Sunday night's exciting, albeit somewhat controversial NFC Championship, perhaps we should look to the ... Continue Reading

(Can Sanchez stick with Drew Brees, throw-for-throw?) Wrapped up in the switch from Brady Quinn to Derek Anderson in Cleveland, or the passing of the torch (due to injury) in Miami from one "Chad" to another? Yeah, me neither. Take a look at the top five story-lines heading into week four of NFL ... Continue Reading

Favre leads Vikings to win, makes football fun again

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Monday, September 28th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Brett Favre, Greg Lewis, Minnesota Vikings, NFC, NFC North, San Francisco 49ers

Like it or not cheeseheads, the magic is back. And you have a date with it next Monday night. Brett Favre erased an otherwise forgettable second half of three-and-out's, an interception, and a turnover on downs by throwing the game-winner against the San Francisco 49ers. But it wasn't so cut and dry as ... Continue Reading

Favre playing better than credited for

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Wednesday, September 23rd 2009. Under NFL Tags: Brett Favre, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, NFC North

No thanks, Adrian Peterson. Brett Favre had this one. Favre may still not own a 200+ yard passing day as a Viking, but no one ever said winning games had to or would come by launching 50-yard passes. Favre can't face the 2007 Denver Broncos in overtime every week. But then again, ... Continue Reading

Five Things To Watch For: Minnesota Vikings

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Monday, August 10th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Adrian Peterson, Brad Childress, Brett Favre, Kevin Williams, Minnesota Vikings, NFC North, Pat Williams, Percy Harvin, Tarvaris Jackson

The Vikings drafted the explosive and dynamic Percy Harvin, courted future Hall of Famer Brett Favre, and now are dealing with an MCL injury to Tarvaris Jackson. While we may never be able to fully close the door on Favre, at least Minnesota can focus on their new, electrifying player, and ... Continue Reading

Five Things To Watch For: Detroit Lions

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, August 6th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Calvin Johnson, Daunte Culpepper, Detroit Lions, Jim Schwartz, Kevin Smith, Matthew Stafford, NFC North

After a horrid 0-16 season made the Lions the laughing-stock of the league, Matt Millen and Rod Marinelli were sent packing, and Jim Schwartz was brought in to right the ship. This is arguably a job that can't be corrected in one season, and probably not even two or three, but ... Continue Reading

Five Things To Watch For: Chicago Bears

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, August 6th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears, Devin Hester, Greg Olsen, Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs, NFC North

The big news this offseason in Chicago was the acquisition of former Denver quarterback Jay Cutler, as well as a sound NFL Draft. The Bears added depth and competition to their receiving corps, and also added a few players on defense that bring youth and versatility to an aging defense. There are ... Continue Reading

With only around five "elite" tight ends in the league, and only another 10 that could be deemed "solid" fantasy starters, it'd be a waste of time to run through two separate conferences. Here at The Red Zone Report, we're all about delivering fast, accurate knowledge. We don't beat around the ... Continue Reading
