We have a veteran group with a lot of pride, and we’re embarrassed with the way we’re playing. I’m determined to fix it. One thing we’ve got to do is stay together.

I have no comment about anything except beating Green Bay, … Please believe me that, when this stuff is resolved, I’ll have something to say.

The first thing I look at is a guy’s effort and the way he approaches each day, the way he goes out and gets his work done. I have confidence in him that he’ll stay...

We feel we’ve got a lot of talent on this team and we want to do it now. We took care of business in the offseason.

We can still do what we set out to do. We have a lot of season left.

I like to game plan against a defense, not a person. I look at a backup just like I do a starter. We’re going to take the same amount of shots we would if their...

As far as Randy not being here, personally, he’s a close friend of mine and we spent a lot of time together, so it’s definitely a little bit different in that sense. But time moves...

I kind of feel like, it’s halftime in my career right now. Everybody knows the team who makes the best adjustments at halftime usually wins the game, so I feel like I got a good...

That wasn’t us. It wasn’t Vikings football. It isn’t the way I’ve been playing throughout my career. We’ve got to be able to see the mistakes, own up to them and get ready to play...

The best way for us today was coach Tice calling them in. It worked for us and got us a good rhythm.

Two days ago I got an e-mail from management that confirmed for me that they did not see me as the player or person that I see myself. I was shocked. It pushed me to...

I was just playing football, man.

He can play any position. He stepped in and did a tremendous job tonight. He is a very smart player, very bright player. He stepped up to the challenge when it was thrown his way.

I couldn’t tell you. If he’s happy, then I’m happy for him.

We have a veteran group and I’m determined to fix it. We just need to stay together,

I almost forgot how it felt to win, … but really, it’s right back to the drawing board.

Things have slowed down, and I just see it now.

Guys are mad and should be because we lost.

When you’re throwing things and spitting on people, it’s distasteful.

With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to...

I was confident when the legal process began that the truth would come out.

It just slipped out,

That’s hypocritical. We had those girls shipped in via Fed Ex. Next time, we’re using UPS.

I didn’t feel that I was pressing, … I didn’t feel different really than any other game. When things go bad, they went bad.

Nobody can play mind games with me.

He’s a great player. I’ve been saying it all along, and he’s having a lot of chances to make plays. The more chances he gets, the better he’s going to look, because he’s that great...

He’s definitely a player, and he’s definitely going to help us. I’m excited for him to be able to get on the field and play some football. He’s definitely a player who can help out.

Not try to make mistakes. Just try to be calm, and play winning football. Not just me. Not just the linemen. Not just the backs. Not just the tight ends. Not just the receivers. Everybody.

People say,

Brad definitely, as much as he can and as much as he remembers, has been trying to help the coaches and myself recognize different things and different tendencies about their team. He’s a Viking now,...

getting his roll on.

Almost like a bad episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’. It was crazy.

I’d like to think I’d have made it wherever I went in the draft.

With the players we have right now, we’ve got a great opportunity to a good football team, to even be a great football team. … Everybody just needs to file in line and get to...

I didn’t feel I was pressing. When things can go bad, they went bad. That’s kind of how I felt, almost like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone .

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does...

You look at him and he just has that stride of a sprinter. It makes me feel good knowing that I have a weapon like that out there.

Any time you lose, it feels bad whether it is by one point or by 20 points, … You think about all the things that happened throughout the game. The turnovers, they are really sticking...

Nate is primed for a great year. He’s worked very hard, and he has a lot of ability, so he’s the type of player who makes plays.

We’ve got to get all 11 people on offense doing the right thing at the right time, … If we’ve got 10 people doing it, it doesn’t work. And we had that a few times.

If a trade does not happen then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.

A lot of people on the outside are going to have their own opinions. It’s not about who’s not here. It’s about who’s here. We’ve got to find our ingredients, the right mixture. We can’t...

I don’t have any rings on my finger, except my wedding band and that doesn’t count as far as a championship goes, … I want to be a champion in this league and be the...

That’s how it is. You might go through a stretch like that sometimes. Hopefully, I’ll go through a stretch when I throw 12 or 15 touchdowns in a row without a pick.

When things could go bad, it went bad. It was almost like a bad episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’.

I feel very good, … I’ve always spread the ball around. I want everyone involved. The guys here so far have done a great job. I’m excited about what we can do offensively. We have...

Everybody’s got to be careful.

We just weren’t on the same page. Things like that, it’s not us; it’s not Viking football.

Nobody who was shooting dice wanted to get a dance.

Sunday can’t come here fast enough. I want to get this taste out of my mouth,
