Hearing Rumblings of more bad news - Everson
@"purplefaithful" said: How bad is it? They clearly missed him today...Only rumors at this point but I have heard it's legal issues. Purely speculation though right now.
They clearly missed some leadership on defense, there was a lack of anybody of the defensive side of the ball taking the reigns and settling the situation. I said it a few weeks ago, the defense lacks a veteran leader on the field.
The offense did them no favors, but the D looked like dog shit once things started to slide early on. With the amount of money on that side of the ball there is absolutely no excuSE to get taken apart like that by a rookie QB no matter what the field position the O left them in.
Maybe it's not bad news in terms of legal or the like.
Wasn't his wife expecting a baby soon? Or did that happen already?
if the rumors of "legal issues" I heard are true, he would most likely be done for the season.
Only rumors so far so I'm not going to repeat anything but I am sure hoping they turn out to be false rumors, not just for football sake but for the sake of his family

Only rumors so far so I'm not going to repeat anything but I am sure hoping they turn out to be false rumors, not just for football sake but for the sake of his familyI am hearing that speculation as well. I really hope that is not it. And for the same reason, beyond football I hope the best for his family.
where are you hearing these roumors? are we talking peterson/ray rice type stuff or did he cheat on his taxes?
on the skol board theyre saying shit went down at the team hotel. thats to bad. he seems like a decent enough guy.
maybe the team was reacting to losing one of their vocal guys? hopefully Brob isnt pissed enough that he’d come back.
hopefully they can recoupe cap money after he fucked the team over and is cut. this team is going in a downward spiral fast.
How about we wait until the facts come out before we try and write narratives hastening his departure?
Oops wrong link ... my bad. No details available yet.
So much speculation & guessing. I agree with Jimmy. Let's wait for the facts. This is from another board: "I heard through the grapevine that Griffen got into some trouble with the law this weekend. Threatened someones life, was escorted out by police. I don't think he was officially arrested, or charged with anything though. Also heard he was being evaluated at a hospital (mental health?) for 72 hours. Maybe the guy was just yanking our chain idk, seemed like it was legit news. Zim said there was a personal matter involving Griff too. I can't find any news stories about it though."
Yeah we just have to wait and see and hope for the best. Twitter is going wild with different scenarios but I am not going to read any more tonight. I just can't stomach it right now.
Wasn't he the fine upstanding citizen who was arrested TWICE during one weekend? You have to be a special kind of stupid for THAT to happen.
Nothing this team's players or coaches do or say shocks me anymore. NOTHING.
Oh man. Coach died before camp. Kicker drama. Off-field soap opera. Is it going to be one of those Viking seasons?
The whole thing smelled funny, so I'm not surprised something is up. I hate to say its always something with this team, but.....its just not possible for Viking's fans to have nice things.
So what I'm gleaning and sifting thru this is some kind of domestic violence issue allegedly? No police report, however.
