Childress: Cutting Robinson helps team
Minnesota Vikings12/28/2006 11:02 AM The Pioneer Press reports Vikings WR Marcus Robinson officially is a free agent. Now the scramble is on.

"Even with a coaching change I don't know if guys will own up or accept responsibility; that's just how it is." TE Alge Crumpler said the team, which started the season 5-2 but has lost six of its past eight games, lacks consistency. Read more

"It started down on that end," said Lemon, pointing to Culpepper's locker, "and it's just worked down this way." Read more
