He tore his ACL shooting a reality show this spring, that's why nobody bothered to sign him.

If true, TO'll be doing abs in his driveway by midseason.

I think McNabb will be benched soon. Ya, he won today, but I can't remember seeing so many balls thrown into the dirt.


I was listening to some reporter who attended a T.O. workout say that he looked explosive, 100%. No sure what that really means.

TO still has game but don't understand why they would want to pair him with McNabb after their history in with the Eagles.

It's usually like a nine month injury (that takes some time to get right afterwards) but T.O. has shown impressive powers of recuperation in the past.

A T.O. and Donovan reunion? McNabb may puke again.

It means that he has the right attitude in terms of really wanting to do it al again but there are too many good athletes that will oppose that desire. He has to be in top form and calm and ready to contribute. He has to be a team player and cast the fricken ego aside. This well he won,t be a Viking because of the past and McNabb isn't relevant IMO. These fella's are PRO's and need to demonstrate that fact in every aspect or they do not get the call. Is T.O. still of PRO caliber? As a GM that is the one question I would ask myself before signing him. I'd be asking myself that question for a day or so after I put it smack dab into T.O.'s head.

GO PACK GO!

Berrian has been a huge 'NO SHOW' in Minny. He and the Vikings for some reason never hooked up.

From the standpoint of rebuilding a team, it's a wise idea to cut one crusty old useless vet...so you can sign a slightly less crusty one who is still recovering from a major injury.

That's how it's done. I hope TT is paying attention.

Paul Allen said on his show this morning that the TO rumors are bunk. The Vikings have zero interest in him.

You're talking about the same TT that cut Robert Ferguson so he could sign Koren Robinson. I think he may have written the book on cutting ties with crusty to bring in less crusty but with issues.

I think you missed the joke by Fritz.

Or, you forgot that Fergie and Koren were both on the 2006 team. Fergs got cut in camp in Aug 2007, Robinson lasted til the offseason after the 2007 season.

two points, if anyone is serious about arguing Fergie and Koren - this was a transitioning team, that couldn't replace all their receivers at once. Fergie and Koren were warm bodies for MM to toss out there - as evidenced by their rapid departure. Also, these are moves on the edges of the roster.


About TO: bleeeech!

That is really to bad, it would be a great punchline to that joke of an organization.

He's been medically cleared to practise (slash) play:

makes sense for the Titans. They have a chance to win and they lost their #1 in Britt.

In their prime I'd take Koren over Fergie in a heart beat.

TO? Is that goofball still around? Egad...

one year after having Moss, they're looking at TO! Too funny. I wonder if they'll look at Occo next? Maybe NE will let him go for a 2nd?

Next they could sign Barber to back up CJ. Just to keep the whole over the hill but not admitting it theme going

Kind of like Moss and BF last year in MINN.
