Okay, so Vikings K Ryan Longwell spent nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers before jumping ship and signing a 5-year, $10 million deal with Minnesota during the offseason. And as a result, Packers fans started sending the kicker hate mail, because he had gone to a division rival. Heh... only in Green Bay do they care enough about football to berate a kicker for signing with a rival!

Yeah...those Pack fans are a strange lot...I spent 6 weeks in Milwaukee this year...and on game day, in Milwaukee not even Green Bay, a whole lot of people walk around in Packer jerseys...and MidWest Airline will tell you the score of the game in mid flight...a very high strung bunch...I sat down Longwell this week in my fantasy league because of it.

The Packer fans will see a lot of Ryan Longwell, since we can't score touchdowns, he'll kick 3 field goals Sunday, while yet again.. the Purple don't score a touchdown offensively.

well, you don't want to read THIS then. basically it says

Taylor rested for much of Wednesday’s practice due to “overall body soreness,” coach Brad Childress said, but the NFL’s fourth-leading rusher said he will play Sunday against Green Bay.

“I feel like, so I can be able to play on Sunday, they want to rest me during the week,” Taylor said. “I don’t have a problem with it. I just have to stay mentally focused.”
