Neither the Vikings nor Daunte Culpepper have benefited from their parting last year. Don't expect a happy homecoming Sunday.

Quarterback Daunte Culpepper eventually landed with the Oakland Raiders. (Getty Images)Nearly 19 months have passed since the messy divorce of Vikings coach Brad Childress and quarterback Daunte Culpepper...........

I am going to the game on Sunday and if Culpepper does play although highly unlikely I will be one who boos him loudly!

Look for me in my Steve Jordan throwback jersey!

Well the Oakland Tribune sports writers are saying/predicting the Starter will be JaMarcus Russell as he has been taking most of the snaps with the 1st team offense so far this week.

If I were the Raiders though I'd start Culpepper. Why not let him vent some of his frustrations about leaving Minnesota on us Sunday??? He might be inspired to play better/harder???


Cheers!

I agree with your point on TJ, but the WR's need to prove they can get open, the T's need to prove they can pass protect and the O-coord needs to prove, well you know.


Team effort (everyone clicking on all cyclinders) would be nice my friend.
;D

Defensive end Erasmus James and running back Adrian Peterson (knee) both were not on the field today for the opening portion of an indoor practice at the Vikings facility. Don’t know what’s wrong with James but he has been limited this year by knee and shoulder problems. We will get an update after practice.....
