Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:59:50 GMT

Andrew Booth Jr. has already battled through his fair share of injuries in his playing career. Luckily for the Vikings cornerback, he avoided a major injury after leaving practice early last week.“Nothing serious,” Both said on Saturday after the Vikings wrapped up their walkthrough. “I’ll get back on the grass tomorrow.”That statement from Booth came a couple of days after head coach Kevin O’Connell said the 22-year-old cornerback was “seeing the folks he needs to see” in an attempt to get back onto the field.

These huge television contracts have ruined college football. And I blame the SEC. It’s pure trash. I loved the old Big Eight Conference, when the Buffs, Nebraska and Oklahoma would trade blows with each other.— Adrian, DenverKiz: Incredible arrogance and bad judgment of Pac-12 leadership (here’s looking at you, former commissioner Larry Scott), pushed the Conference of Champions from glory to extinction in a period of 10 years.

Otherwise, I know what the deal is.— Ramon, jilted football-love...
