    Tough break for the Vikings! WOW. That's bad.

      That is a bummer, but that's what preseason is good for---INJURY HEADLINES. First pick down the toilet before he even got a chance to play, before the Vikes could see his ability. Now THAT sucks.

      It's almost like Russian Roulette, only minus the Russian and minus....ok, so it really isn't very much like Russian Roulette. How about Powerball in Hell? Who's the next lucky winner on the preseason injury list?!

        I'd be crying my eyes out into my Summitt if he had been #1 on the depth chart, but now I'm just sobbing quietly....


        Yea, it does hurt to lose your #1 pick right away.

          yea, I was looking forward to that competition from afar.....oh well.

            Sorry for the bad news, Rastak & mngolf. Never like to see that happen to a rook, especially.

            At least Kornheiser still likes the Vikes' chances. So...ya know...you got that going for ya.

              Actually it was Harvey's favoite telecaster Theisman who said they were the most improved team.....but thanks for the sentiment. I actually did feel bad when Underwood went down. Hate to see a young player have to go through that. I guess it's part of the job they signed up for.

                I hate Theisman, too, so I don't listen to anything he says.

                But I sorta hope all the teams in the division improve a bit (except for the Bears who will be revealed as frauds) so that all the "experts" can stop raggin' on the NFC North.

                  Im sure its been posted but just reported he is out for the season...
                  Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

                    This is a big loss for the Vikes.

                      I agree. It sucks for the Vikings, which admittedly doesn't really break my heart, but it sucks even more for Chad, who's a really good guy.

                      I was looking forward to Greenway becoming a free agent, so I could cheer for him without guilt or shame.

                        Too bad for Greenway...

                        Hate to see these young talents lose a whole year, 'specially their first year in a game that doesn't mean a thing, other than evaluating talent..

                        Wait a minute, that's what pre season(and training camp) is for! Let's evaluate these guys and see if they can play.

                        Football is a violent game and injuries happen, as unfortunate as they are.

                        Who else is playing LB for the Vikes (Rastak?)

                          Right now EJ Henderson is WLB (having a great camp), Nappy Harris is MLB (he's actually doing okay so far) and Ben Leber is SAM I think.

                            Some familiar names, but if their front four does what they're supposed to do, it makes LB'ing much easier. Seems the Vikes LB's are always active and making plays..

                            Again, sorry to hear about Green'ies end of season..

                              I've had better accolades than Kornheiser. Not sure I'll take that one to the bank.
