    As in the case of Taysom Hill, Ted Thompson blew it. Banjo coulda been a starting NFL quarterback, probably a superstar.

    Per source, Broncos adding Ben Steele, a Colorado product from Palisades and Mesa State, to their offensive staff. A former TE, Steele caught Aaron Rodgers' first professional TD pass in 2005 preseason game. Steele was Vikings asst OL coach in 2021 under OC Klint Kubiak. #9sports
    Was at a Packer/Viking game Nov. 14, 2004. Vikings had tied the game with just over a minute left. Robert Ferguson fumbled the ensuing kickoff after a 37 yard return. There was a huge fight for the loose ball and Vikings insisted they had recovered it, but Steele came out with the ball. Ryan Longwell kicked a field goal on the last play of the game for the win.

    Donatell actually didn't do a bad job as DC for the Packers. He got fired because Mike Sherman needed a scapegoat after 4th and 26.

    I was in downtown Minneapolis at the Rock Bottom Brewery and the Vikings did recover it. He pulled it away but possession is nine tenths of the law back then. Boy was I pissed as expected.

    I was a little surprised. Does he have connections to O'Connell?

    This keeps Gute from having to make that decision in order to please the GM.

    Now, what about Cobb?

    If I were on the Packers and I wanted job security, I would set about becoming Aaron Rodgers's best friend.
