Husain Abdullah may return to the NFL after sitting out this season to take a spiritual journey. But the way he addressed his departure from the Minnesota Vikings sounded like a final goodbye.

"Minnesota is a beautiful place with beautiful people," Abdullah wrote in a text message on Friday night. "Honored I could experience it. Peace."

Considering the state of the team, now is a good time for a religious pilgrimage....

A bad player leaving a bad team to more deeply pursue a terrible religion. The triple threat.

I really had no problem at all with his play on special teams.

When he was healthy, he wasnt that bad in fairness to him.

Why do people have to become bigots over this?

I don't think anyone would say "Don't let the door hit you on the kippah on the way out..." if it was a Jewish player, I'd expect the same level of respect for people of Islamic heritage.

...and Ranger, well, you've always been hateful.

C'mon Vikes fans, let's be better than that.
