	FOX 16 - Little Rock, Arkansas - Minnesota's playoff picture still blurry
		Minnesota has been anything but a good team down the stretch in the past two seasons, dropping seven of its final 10 last season and six of its past nine so far this year.
		Worst case scenario, the Vikings fall to 8-8 in Washington and the Rams and Panthers win, leaving Minnesota on the outside looking in.
		Minnesota now must either beat the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field or get a loss from St. Louis or Carolina to register a postseason slot.

	SportingNews.com - NFL : Vikings are now Alexander's band
		EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings finally found a new partner for Randy Moss, agreeing to terms Friday with free agent wide receiver Derrick Alexander.

		Jordan spent his first four seasons with the New York Jets.

	Kent's Minnesota Vikings Boycott
		The loss was unacceptable and the third straight play-off loss in three straight years for the Minnesota Vikings and coach Dennis Green.
		I threw the remote control that day and yelled "I will never watch another Vikings football game again until we have a new head coach." Here we are 4 seasons later, no new head coach and 4 more blown opportunities to win a superbowl.
		Either way with them gone or with Dennis Green the State of Minnesota would never celebrate a Superbowl victory.

	Packers.com, the Official Web site of the Green Bay Packers.
		Looking back on the Christmas Eve match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings, you could really say it was a tale of two halves for the Green Bay defense.
		Certainly Brett Favre has seen better days than the one he had Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
		Green Bay GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman said it time and time again throughout this season, and it's been one of his constant principles throughout his five seasons at the helm of the Green Bay Packers - you can't afford to lose the turnover battle and expect to win consistently in the National Football League.

		HOVAN'S RETURN: Chris Hovan's last words with the Vikings were "Goodbye, Minnesota," a terse phrase he uttered several times on his way out of the locker-room last January when the season ended.
		Hovan, a first-round draft pick in 2000 whose productivity declined significantly over his final two seasons with Minnesota, said he's now getting the best guidance he's ever had in his career - from coach Jon Gruden, defensive co-ordinator Monte Kiffin and defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.
		Asked if he still thinks back about his time with the Vikings, Hovan praised three people in the front office, Paul Wiggin, Scott Studwell and Rob Brzezinski, for the help in his development, but he didn't go beyond that.

		Sure, third-year receiver Nate Burleson is coming off a 1,000-yard season, but it's clear that Minnesota used such a high pick on Williamson with hopes that he'll be the playmaking star that the All-Pro Moss had been the past seven seasons.
		Williamson is being counted on to help fill the hole left by Moss, who was traded to Oakland in March, and make sure the Vikings offense remains one of the most dangerous in the league.
		Williamson didn't put up awe-inspiring numbers in a run-oriented offense during his three seasons at South Carolina, totaling 91 catches in 34 games.

		With a healthy Michael Bennett running the ball and quarterback Daunte Culpepper leading the way, the Vikings – barring another meltdown – should live up to their high expectations.
