Bye Bye Daunte Culpepper

Good Morning Readers I hope you are enjoying the Minnesota Boys State Tournment speculation. Today I am going to talk to the Biggest Crybaby in Minnesota and I am not talking about former Timberwolves Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell, I am talking about former Minnesota Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper.

In an expressive email yesterday Daunte Culpepper made it plain and clear that he wants to be traded or released and have nothing to do with this team. And I say trade his butt to another team or just release him. I have been a Culpepper supporter for the last three seasons and have taken grief from my friends and family for supporting him. I supported through the Boat scandel and even last week but he has broken my spirit for him and needs to be traded or released.

Why does he need to be traded, one is he gives up and doesn't stick in there when the going gets tough. Once the Vikings picked Brad Childress for Head Coach Daunte didn't want to support him. In games where we needed a comeback he never gave us one. He is a money grubbing player who thinks one or two years make him a allstar player who should get super bonuses. he only thinks about himself and not his team or teammates. He had surgery on three of his ligaments in his knee and players with that injury take at least two years to come back to full strength. And lastly he is not our leader and has tough times controlling his emotions.

So who will want him the teams I hear in talks are the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders. But Culpepper has made such a debacle of this his trade value is almost zero and he needs the Minnesota Vikings to pull the trigger. I think if we can get anything for him lets just pull the trigger and do it. We can find new talent and build a team that wants to be a team. So Goodbye Daunte Culpepper and hopefully you enjoy your payoff with some other team.

Other Minnesota Sports Notes:

Doug Risebourgh pulled another big Minnesota Wild trade yesterday with the Dallas Stars to get 26 year old Martin Skoula and 24 year old Shawn Belle one of the Stars biggest prospects. And all we had to give up is 28 year old Willie Mitchell and a 2nd Round Draft pick.
