swede700 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Quote The stubborn Van Brocklin had a legendary feud with Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton, whom he wanted to be more of a pocket passer than a scrambler. Tarkenton balked and demanded a trade, and Van Brocklin’s strained relationship with the quarterback played a role in his Feb. 11, 1967, decision to resign. “Toward the end, I think my dad was hurt by Francis Tarkenton,” Vanderyt said. “They truly had a clash. It hurt my dad on a personal level. He thought Francis was more interested in himself than the team. … I’m sorry that Tarkenton has held a grudge against my father all these years, but for my father it eventually was history as far as he was concerned.” https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/06/norm-van-brocklins-daughter-looks-back-at-eagles-championship-qb-first-vikings-coach/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, former Jets assistant Karl Dunbar is “in discussions with the Steelers” to be their defensive line coach. The Steelers have a defensive line coach at the moment, John Mitchell, who also carries the assistant head coach tag. So he’s either about to be doing something else, or they’re going to re-assign him if the report is true. Dunbar, 50, played three years in the NFL with the Saints and Cardinals. He has coached for the Bears, Vikings, Jets, and Bills. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/08/steelers-talking-to-karl-dunbar-about-line-coach-job/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Running back Adrian Peterson has left Minnesota, but Minnesota hasn’t forgotten about him. In more ways than one. Via the Minneapolis Star Tribune, a Hennepin County judge has ordered Peterson to pay more than $600,000 that he had failed to pay after taking out a $2.4 million loan in 2016. Peterson borrowed the money from Crown Bank in May 2016, at an annual interest rate of 7.5 percent. Peterson borrowed the money to refinance other debt. He paid $1.9 million, but for some reason he stopped paying. And for some reason Peterson never responded to or otherwise contested the civil lawsuit that Crown Bank filed after he defaulted on the loan. Peterson must pay $609,786 in both principal and interest, along with $28,868 in legal fees. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/08/judge-orders-adrian-peterson-to-pay-more-than-600000/ are you kidding me? after all the money he has made, he has to borrow money to pay off existing debt?

Lombardi was the same kind of hard-nosed, demanding coach...but he treated his players as men and as professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
