Nooooooooooooooooooo! Say it isn't so, Joe. Why do the Vikes get all of the bad luck? Why not the f*cking Patsies or some other team? This rash of injuries is killing me. I at least wanted a playoff appearance this year if not an outright championship. Us long-suffering Vikes fans deserve at least that.

I sure hope it ain't so. We really could use Bennett back. And that seems kinda shaky. I mean, they just sent Jimmy K. and Rosenthal to IR, and got their operations done. If Bennett had that problem, bet they woulda sent him in already, and not expected him back. Last I read of what Tice had to say, Bennett is going through practices, and looking pretty good.

I hope that you are right, UT. BTW, does UT stand for UTex or UTenn?

Well i dont know whats goin on, i thought he flew up to see a specailist on the knee and it was all good. From what i heard the specailist in clevland said there was no further damage i dont know what the hell is goin on.

All doctors are quacks!!!

Doctors are not quacks but yahoo sports is. NEVER believe anything reported on yahoo sports withoput looking into it. They have a bunch of loser reporters that twist and omit information in order to get someone to read thier crap.
I went to KFAN and this is what was said. Bennett practiced wednsday but the training staff still had some concerns about the ACL. This is the part that Yahoo reorted "Bennetts knee may be worse thtn at first thought" now here is what they omitted. Bennett underwent a PRECAUTIONARY examination, and it revieled NO FURTHER DAMAGE. Chuck Barta the head trainer said Bennett should be ready to play following the bye.
Go to KFAN yourself and look how irresponsible yahoo's report is. NEVER take anything they say as word until you read it somewhere else.

Wow, didn't realize the media spins football injuries too - thought i could at least count on accurate info from the sports section. Thanks for the clarification ND!

I looked into who wrote the story for Yahoo and it was FanBall.com. Yahoo also reported some B.S. story last year but I cant remember what it was, that is what caught my attention, if you ever see a sports story from yahoo, be suspicious.

Whew, thanks for the clarification ndak. I feel much better now, but would still like to see other teams have to deal with sh*t that lessens their chances to beat us this season (not wishing injury on anyone though).
