| Vikings Locker Room Turns Into Jerry Springer Show More details have emerged regarding the fight that took place after Wednesday's Vikings practice, and it sounds like something out of Jerry Springer or pro wrestling. Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune reports that the fight broke out in the Vikings' locker room following Wednesday's practice. No one is saying what started it, but Zulgad reports that defensive end Erasmus James threw a punch that landed around running back Chester Taylor's right eye. Taylor retaliated by throwing a chair, but he showed about as much accuracy as Vikings quarterback Kelly Holcomb has shown throwing footballs. Instead of hitting James with the chair, Taylor accidentally hit left tackle Bryant McKinnie, Zulgad reports. Taylor and McKinnie are good friends, and apparently the fight ended after that. ProFootballTalk.com -- The Best Pro Football Scoop on the InternetZulgad reports that when Taylor appeared in the Vikings' locker room Thursday, he had a shiner underneath the eye. James has been added to the Vikings' injury report with a shoulder injury. A Vikings spokesman said Thursday night the team would have no comment publicly, but seeing as coach Brad Childress and owner Zygi Wilf have stressed the need for personal accountability ever since the Vikings' infamous sex boat, it's safe to assume the coach and the owner have had quite a bit to say privately. |
