It has been a trying couple of weeks for the Henderson brothers.

The Vikings announced Tuesday that backup linebacker Erin Henderson has been suspended for the next four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.

The news comes just six days after Erin's brother E.J. was placed on injured reserve following a gruesome leg injury suffered on Sunday Night Football.

Erin was active against the Bengals Sunday, recording his first two tackles since Week Eight. He will be eligible to return to the team after Minnesota's first playoff game.

LOL I love PFT's comments. I tend to read them, no matter how unfactual they may be (like how some Vikings fans claim they are going to the Super Bowl, and how Packer fans misread an anti-Viking blog that Florio slapped up).. And here are two gems:

Somewhere in a bar in Kenosha...a few Packer fans are wiping the sauce off their bowling shirts and looking at this story...

"Those dirty, cheating Vikings! Suspend them all and move the team to LA as punishment! ...Love Boat...Childress sucks...Favre! Blah blah blah"

Watch the PFT Packer fans try and project this suspension on the entire team.

Ready? GO!

I laugh because I've seen some serious asshattery from a few specific Packer fans on PFT (Bob Nelson, Jimmy Smith). I'm not saying there aren't Viking fans that are asshats (most of them are random posters, though, and not trolls, like the two mentioned above), though.

I watched his interview after his brother got hurt. He really seems like a good fella.

Another link, more details. (link to the link in the link :thumbright: )

Lucky he's in Minnesota, this kind of nonsense will never stand. :thumbleft:

I know.. But it gets annoying to hear alot of people, joking or otherwise, say how the Williams' Wall has been loading up on steroids. I may have misinterpreted your statement altogether, though.

Funny thing is, I always thought "Erin" was the name of various cute Irish girls.

If I were a "boy named Sue," I'd probably have some substance abuse/social adjustment problems. And if I had to wear purple on a daily basis, who knows what I would do.

beast (4h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (8h) : meh

Zero2Cool (13h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (13h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (13h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (16h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (16h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (19h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (19h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
