At 9, Madieu Williams immigrated to Prince George's County from Sierra Leone, one of the poorest nations on Earth. The move gave his family a sense of perspective. His mother told him over and over that if he ever found himself in a position to make a difference, he should do it.

Vikings-Packers Preview Minnesota Vikings Green Bay Packers Last Matchup: Vikings 30, Packers 23 The first matchup between these teams featured some defensive performances on both sides that will be difficult to repeat. The Packers held Adrian Peterson to 2.2 yards per rush attempt, and stripped the ball from him, returning it for a touchdown: I don’t believe they can stop him so effectively...

One of these men has been to the Pro Bowl numerous times. One was 3 time MVP of the National Football League. One was not. Now, most of you reading this Blog know which is which.

The final injury report for the week was just sent out and there are a couple interesting additions to it.

While it's true that rookie receivers take time to develop in the NFL, I think that a receiver with Harvin's skill-set is a bit of a different case. Aside from being used on short routes...
