I am beginning to receive a lot of e-mails, which I highly encourage. Every once in a while, I get a few that I feel I want to share with everyone. And remember, you can send your e-mails to phinsider@gmail.com. The following is one of two that I want to let everyone take a look at. This one was sent in by JB, and is about the Daunte Culpepper saga that is playing out right now. Take a look:
Since when is it incumbent on any team to do such a thing? Every team has an obligation to continually improve their competitive edge by using strategies like this, its normal!!! Only because this has turned into a soap opera, mainly due to DC, have you and your media brethren even had thoughts of this. In a Brett Favre's case, where he spent a career in GB, if he walked into the GMs office and said, "hey release me so I can hook up with a contender like the Ravens", I would agree with you, but DC has done nothing for this team ala Favre has for his.
Dont forget the Fins gave up a 2 for DC AND paid him $5.5 M last year AND gave him first class training/medical care AND a chance to resurrect his career post the Vikes Love Boat affair. The Fins received NOTHING in return in terms of wins and that is what it is all about. I dont blame DC for this, as he did his best (although was a mention inside of a story for one of the local papers that refutes this the other day, basically saying Steve Young was right last year) and it looks like it takes 2 years to recover from a major knee injury; especially when you are a one read and run QB like DC.
Keep up the great work on your site!
