The jury began deliberating at about 2 p.m. Wednesday after five days of testimony and nearly three hours of closing arguments that morning. They quit at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday...Read Full Story

As we mentioned today, the Vikings curiously opted to work out Virginia cornerback Chris Cook on an individual basis today despite the fact that they usually work out prospect in a group format.  The group workout is scheduled for April 6th and 7th. According to Wes Bunting of the National Football Post, the Vikings “love” Cook and could very well make him their first choice in April’s draft. I find it hard to believe that the Vikings would tip their hand so early in the process, so it could...Read Full Story

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook isn't doing a good job of using his time wisely during the NFL lockout. According to a story at nationalfootballpost.com, Cook was arrested Saturday night in Lynchburg,Virginia after pulling a gun during a fight. Now my logic says you don't pull a gun on anyone unless you're in immediate danger. I don't know the extent of the situation so I really couldn't say why he pulled it. My logic also says that if you're gonna pull a gun you better use it. Don...Read Full Story

I would like to start this post off with a very important caveat (so important in fact, I will put it in bold!): In no way do I support or approve of domestic violence.

The charges may be more serious than...Read Full Story
