Pat Williams: A 38-Year-Old Solution
While all eyes in Minnesota have been on Judge Doty, clouds of change hang over the Vikings. And we’re not just referring to the refurbishment of the Metrodome. A new CBA is likely to see Sidney Rice and Ray Edwards test themselves on the free agent market while Pat Williams came out this week and [...]
Shaun Rogers: Following up in the Big Easy
