Allen sits; Reusse signs
November 6th, 2008 – 4:04 PM by Judd ZulgadDefensive end Jared Allen did not practice again today as he rested his injured right shoulder. Allen continues to get treatment for a third-degree sprain, or seperation, that could keep him out of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Coach Brad Childress said the team will see if Allen can do some things in Friday’s practice.
Asked if he was holding out hope, Allen said “that’s all on them,” in reference to coach Brad Childress and the Vikings medical staff. “I guess there is always hope but it’s not my call,” Allen said. “I’ve got two more days. I’m not really thinking about it. I want to hopefully just see how it plays out. And it’s not solely on me. If it was my decision, I think you guys know what my decision would be. But coach has to do what’s right for the team and [head athletic trainer] Eric Sugarman has to make sure he does what is right for my body.”
Childress said Wednesday there had been talk about Allen not practicing all week and then playing against the Packers. Of course, the coaching staff would prefer to see Allen do something on-the-field before making any decision. “Anything moving along from the training room would be progress,” Childress said. “So, we’ll see. I don’t have a good barometer on it. Not having spent a full year with him, I like to think I know. But I just have to see with my own eyes. Sometimes you have to protect [players] from themselves. Just like we talked about with Adrian [Peterson] last year,” when he hurt his knee.
Allen and defensive tackle Kevin Williams are tied for the team lead with seven sacks apiece.
And on another note, Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse will be signing copies of the book Minnesota Vikings: The complete illustrated history at 7 tonight at the Barnes and Noble in Maple Grove.
Note: Receiver Robert Ferguson returned to the Vikings on Thursday after being gone Wednesday to attend his grandfather’s funeral. Ferguson said he does not know if he will play against the Packers, his former team. Ferguson was a healthy scratch for last Sunday’s game against Houston. Asked if it would be tough not to play Sunday, Ferguson said: “Yeah, it would be.”

Hey NFC North Chumps, I just found this article on your QB on Pro Football Talk, did you see this?
RODGERS DENIES GAY RUMORS
Posted by Mike Florio on November 6, 2008, 3:46 p.m.
In an exclusive interview with Pro Football talk, Aaron Rodgers denied rumors that he is gay:
Florio: So Aaron, what about all these rumors that you’re gay?
Rodgers: Don’t believe everything you hear, Mike. That lawsuit that was filed by my former Phillipino houseboy was ridiculous, I never touched him.
Florio: Actually I was talking about your roommate you picked up, er, met in Green Bay that you said you had a relationship with that was much deeper than just football. You had a Phillipino houseboy that’s suing you?
Rodgers: No, I don’t know where you got that one from Mike. And as far as my roommate, Bruce, I don’t know why all those sick minds out there are jumping to conclusions just cause I have a male roommate.
Florio: Well, there’s also that thing about your teammates chipping in to pay for a private shower stall for you which apparently you refuse to use…
Rodgers: I say we’re a team, we shower together. That was just a nice gesture by the guys, it didn’t mean anything.
Florio: But they said they did it because you keep letting your soap bar slip out of your hand in front of them and bending over to pick it up…
Rodgers: Look, after a game you’re tired, things slip. You’ve got a filthy mind if you’re reading anything into that.
Florio: But some of them claim you also keep crawling between their legs and doing pushups underneath them…
Rodgers: Hey, I’ve gotta stay in shape don’t I? You’ve got a filthy mind.
Florio: But they also claim you keep gerbils in your locker…
Rodgers: So what? Didn’t you ever have pets?
Florio: But your team doctor claims you schedule a prostate exam with him once a week…
Rodgers: So what? Checkups are very important.
Florio: But he claims that during the exam you keep running your fingers through his hair…
Rodgers: Hey, I’m a friendly guy, so what?
Florio: But the Minnesota Vikings claim that after the week one game you came to the visitors locker room and showered with them…
Rodgers: I’m a strong believer in personal hygiene.
Florio: But Sid Hartman claimed that you talked him into joining you in the shower…
Rodgers: Well he looked like he needed a shower, so kill me.
Florio: But he also claimed that during the shower you offered to bikini wax his pubes…
Rodgers: Hey, he said something about going to the beach later, I just wanted him to look nice.
Florio: Okay, thanks Aaron…
Rodgers: Doing anything later Mike?
Florio: Er, yeah actually I am… uh, Aaron, why are you taking your clothes off?
Rodgers: I just want to show you the scar from my groin pull surgery. Here, gimme your hand…
Florio: No thanks, I’ve really gotta go…
Rodgers: Wait up Mike, the night is young…
Florio: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sticks and stones Queenies. Check the scoreboard Sunday it’ll be more of the same. I guess you fools don’t mind losing anymore. You know Detroit has your game circled.
But do you approve of that kind of behavior from your QB NFC North Chumps?
Do You approve of 8TD’s and 8 picks, a bad comedien for a senator, 3 years of sub 500 football, a coach who looks like he wandered into the kitchen of “to catch a predetor,” and the prospect of Duante Culpepper torching your horrific pass D in a couple of weeks, when as usual all playoff hope is long gone?
Do you approve of a minimum of 3 chins and 5 sheep lovers required by law for every WI resident?
Also, I heard your center has filed fondling charges against your QB.
[…] Access Vikings: – […]
Didn’t you guys actually trade up to draft Tarvarus Jackson, or was that Troy Williamson? Ans I was just helping that sheep over the……oh who cares, Vikings Suck A**
The truth hurts huh NFC North Chumps?
And please I don’t need to hear any details about your sheep activities.
not me so much, you’ll have to ask the sheep.
I heard Sid Hartman’s next column will reveal all the gory details about the Rodgers-Hartman pubes bikini wax ordeal. I can’t believe Sid actually let him do it.
Hey Chumps, if the Vikes suck ass, as you’ve intimated, implied, and outright claimed–yet the Packers are tied with Vikings at 4-4–what does that then conversely say about the Packers?
Wisconsin people, proof that evolution is a two way road, as they devolve into something just a “little less.”
They’re really fat too.
The difference is in the quality of opponents and the fact that the Packers already beat the Vikings. Records don’t tell the whole story, especially when the Packers had more injuries early in the season than any other team I can think of.
I can’t believe Jay had that much time on his hand to write such garbage. Are we really going to go down the path of calling other players gay to bad mouth them? Since T-Jack lives in Mpls, the 2nd gay capital of the world, did you hear anyone calling him gay? He sure plays like a tinkerbell, so perhaps we should have!
NFC North Chumps had to have surgery for terminal thigh chafe.
Sadly, jay, that is incredibly accurate…they like to fool themselves into thinking they were born “big-boned,” but we all know the truth…
Poor, devolved, corpulent bastards.
He had to have thigh transplants from a thin Minnesota corpse.
Hey VikesSuck guy, even your comment looks fat and gay.
Makes me queasy…
VS, you love to talk about the gay capitals of the world. Did you personally research all these places?
jay, his nickname isn’t the round mound of reacharound for nothing…that title was earned.
LOL Tomb…
And BTW VS, I didn’t write that I just cut and pasted from the Pro Football Talk story.
Also VS if you click on this you’ll see one of your own blogs stating that WI has 3 of the top 10 most gay-friendly cities in America. Which you can be proud of since you’re personally responsible for getting all 3 of them into the top 10.

minnesota is Wisconsins bit*h!
One hour and ten minutes since your last blog, and that’s what you came up with?
“minnesota is Wisconsins bit*h!”
Impressive, Mr. Chump…that’s valedictorian-type vernacular for a Wisconsite, I’m guessing.
You’re still fat and gay…just admit it so we can move on.
Bones=small hobby farmer.
JP=large grower with all crops harvested.
Hey Bones, Why don’t you take your JD 3300 combine and your gavity wagon back to Iowa.
Jay, you dumb*ss!! I live in Minneapolis, so yes I guess I do my research by going about my day to day life. How old are you? That might explain a lot!
Yes my close personal friend Curtis “Boo Boo” Reusse was a good O-lineman for the Vikings. I never knew he was so inspired by me that he wrote a book. I am an icon.
Hey VS, you have gravy on your chin…
Oops…that’s baby gravy.
Nasty, dude, just nasty.
@Jay
Are you really as stupid as you sound? I read all of your drivel and it sounds like you Mommy should ban you from the computer for a few weeks. You’re like a little child trying to be witty and funny, but it only comes across as being juvenile and stupid. You sound like the kid who got his a*s kicked every day at school and goes home and tries to make up for it by trying to be cool behind a computer screen.
So you really cut and pasted that article from PFT, huh?
First of all I can’t believe you would think anyone would be that stupid. Second of all, I believe that Mr. Florio would be none too pleased to find out that you are tarnishing his brand and writing silly trash using his name. I’m going to forward him the link to your post. Were you aware that he’s also a lawyer? Oooops….
You tell him KAO, you tell him. Hey KAO, want to help me patrol the Metrodome on Sunday? We will be throwing out all of those bad people that chant “fire Childress”. You with me? My close personal friend Ben Childress deserves nothing of that sort.
Watch it Patterson.
Sorry Sid, I don’t think I can help you on the patrol. You’re too old and would scare off all the ladies, plus I don’t want to be hampered by having to push you around in your wheelchair or wait for you dawdling using your cane. I’m surprised you actually go to the Humpty Dump. Doesn’t that get a little too loud for your hearing aids?
Hey, quit using the term gay. The PC term is heterosexually challenged. And to the posters, or should I say posers across the border, 4-4 = 4-4. You will go down Sunday so don’t come back with that division record crap. Pack = toast, with some medeocre jam on top. Homer say - “Mmmmm - toast”…
