Last Friday, we discussed one of the Green Bay Packers' options for replacing backup quarterback Graham Harrell -- if Harrell's shaky preseason moved the Packers to do so. Judging from what we've heard from the Packers since then, it appears Harrell ...

We're Black and Blue All Over: The Minnesota Vikings' decision to hold tailback Adrian Peterson out of the preseason, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, would make perfect sense whether or not Peterson was recovering from significant knee surger...

Graham Harrell's underwhelming performance Thursday night as the Green Bay Packers' backup quarterback merits a visit to Adam Schefter's weekly mailbag. Even before the Packers' 35-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Schefter suggested the Packers offer...
