Charley Walters: Bears a bigger hurdle for Minnesota Vikings than expected
Six weeks ago, the Vikings seemed set to win the NFC North Division. The Bears seemed set for a long season. Chicago had no decent quarterback or running back, and the Bears' best receiver, Bernard Berrian, had bolted to Minnesota. Since then, Kyle Orton has emerged as a decent QB for the Bears, ...

VIKINGS MADE OFFER FOR QUINN?
ProFootballTalk.com — Charley Walters of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Vikings offered the Browns a first-round pick in 2009 and a second-round pick in 2010 to the Browns for quarterback Brady Quinn. Per Walters, the Browns passed. Walters cites no source, named or unnamed, to support the story, using instead the vague “word is” preface. Walters also suggests that the Browns might ultimately trade Derek Anderson to the Vikings, if they choose not to move Quinn.

Brady Quinn in Purple?
UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting — The Pioneer Press reported on its website Sunday that the Minnesota Vikings offered the Cleveland Browns two first round picks for former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and the Browns declined. Word is the Vikings offered the Browns their 2009 and 2010 first-round draft picks for quarterback Brady Quinn, but Cleveland, after consideration, said no thanks. Economically, the deal makes sense for the Vikings in that Quinn, who is under contract for three more years after this season, already has been paid his signing bonus. And the Vikings wouldn’t have to spend on the draft picks. With the trading deadline recently passed, the deal could ...

Raking The Muck: This Is a Hayooge Week, Jonesy
Rakes Of Mallow — As Rob mentioned below, Bob Davie calling a Notre Dame game is fun enough in itself, but when that game is against Ty Willingham?  A perfect storm of catharsis, or the potential for the drunkest night any Irish fan has ever been involved with.  If Notre Dame doesn't drive the final nail into Willingam's coffin in over-the-top gory, Halloween-like fashion, I'll be disappointed.  This is like the end of a slasher film and Jimmy Clausen has been given a multitude weapons (Tate, Floyd, Rudolph, Allen) to lop off the head of Notre Dame's haunting past, but he has to make sure the job is done instead of delivering a whack or two and ...
