Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh missed a crucial kick--a potential playoff game winning kick--against the Seattle Seahawks this passed Sunday. People--fans--reacted poorly. They said some nasty things, criticizing him as if he'd stolen several thousand cars. Or cut in front of them in line at chipotle. It wasn't fair. It wasn't warranted. But, more often than not, such is the nature of professional sports. However, there were a few people that reacted in a way you'd like to see fellow human beings treat each other: first graders. Specifically, the first graders of Judie Offerdahl's class at Northpoint Elementary in Blaine, Minnesota. They wrote letters and drew messages. Read More »
Red wine appears to be the real life Michael's Secret Stuff (haven't seen Space Jam? Shame on you). There are the obvious health benefits associated with a nice bunch of grapes--it also has been known to boost confidence, if consumed to the proper degree--but it also gives one the ability to perform sporting activities at an exceptionally high level. Take Terence Newman, for example. The 37-year-old defensive back for the Minnesota Vikings is well into his second decade in the league, and yet, he's playing like a spry 22-year-old fresh out of college. What's his secret? Simple, red wine. Read More »

Adrian Peterson looks like he'll be returning to the Minnesota Vikings after all. Peterson made the big announcement on Monday despite not getting the contract he desired in the off-season. Right now, Peterson walks into practice as the highest-paid back in all the NFL. There was speculation whether he would return after last season's allegations of child abuse. Read More »
Suspended Minnesota Vikings superstar Adrian Peterson has shown that he's feeling remorse for the disciplining of his four-year-old son that saw him banned from the NFL for the rest of the season, saying he will "never use a switch again". He also revealed that he might not be headed back to the team that drafted him seventh overall in 2007, saying "Maybe it's best for me to get a fresh start somewhere else," in an interview with USA Today.

Just days ago Mstars shared its view that Ben Tate might not be with the Cleveland Browns for much longer, and within minutes, they released him, leaving him free to join the Minnesota Vikings, replacing Adrian Peterson. On top of that, there's belief that the Browns are entertaining the idea of trading/or releasing Jordan Cameron, Josh Gordon and Johnny Manziel, although it's incredibly unlikely all three will leave. Gordon has just returned to the Browns after his drug suspension, and he's claimed that he will tear the NFL up, telling former teammate Nate Burleson just that, but could he then be traded months later?

As Adrian Peterson today announced his decision to appeal the NFL's decision to suspend him without pay for the rest of the NFL season for his child abuse charge, people are wondering whether the Minnesota Vikings will even want the star running back on their team next year. Read More »
The NFL doesn't need another scandal this year, but Minnesota Vikings superstar Captain Munnerlyn now finds himself in some hot water... involving and a sexy stripper named Pebbles... Read More »
It seems like it was just yesterday that the RB was the most important position in the NFL behind the QB, however, over the last few years teams have started to throw more than ever, and the RB is becoming less relevant each and every day. Not long ago Trent Richardson was a first round pick by the Cleveland Browns, but he proved to be a "mistake pick," and now teams are very careful, waiting until the second, third and fourth rounds to find a running back at much less of a cost. Recently Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson have added more grief to the role, with the latter just getting a season-long suspension for his child abuse case. On top of that, Ben Tate, who was seen as the best available free agent last year, has been released by the Browns. Is there a future for the RB any more? Read More »
Adrian Peterson will not play in the NFL for this entire season, nor will he be paid. That's the decision handed down by the NFL and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today, that the Minnesota Vikings running back will be suspended without pay for the remainder of the season. The player's legal team and the NFL players association, though, are planning an immediate challenge on the basis that the discipline handed down by the NFL is inconsistent. Read More »
Sometimes things seem to be going a little too well, and that has most certainly been the case for the Houston Rockets. But star man Dwight Howard is now involved in an NBA child abuse battle, one that's alarmingly similar to Adrian Peterson's case. The Rockets are seen as a top contender to win the NBA championship, but with all this controversy surrounding their team, can they really keep their good spirits and good form going? Rockets fans can relax, with the law declaring Howard as "not guilty" of breaking any rules, according to TMZ. His baby's mother, Royce Reed, made a complaint during the summer, saying he had whipped his son with a belt until bruises were left. He did confess to doing just that, but he claimed he was punished in that manner and did not realize there was anything wrong with the way he had punished his child. Read More »
Eminem has never been afraid to offend ... well, anyone, when it comes to his rap songs. But as Slim Shady has matured, he has tamed it down some, though now it appears he is back with a vengeance, insulting Lana Del Rey, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson — all in the space of a few days. In the process, his name has been added to the "make them retire" list, but will the lyrically-lit rapper call it quits after insisting he'd punch Del Rey in the face, and will the unwanted NFL duo retire? Eminem mentioned Peterson's child abuse case in one of his latest songs, according to TMZ, saying, "What's makin' you think I need a switch? I'm Adrian Peterson. When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid ... On the track I spank like he just did." Read More »
