It seems kinda heartless to me. With actions like this, should teams be surprised when players don't show any loyalty later?</p>
<font color="#0000ff">Coach Brad Childress told Twin Cities-area media following Thursday's practice that the decision was on a "business principle" of the Vikings organization.</font></p> Err... I wouldn't be associating the word "principle" with that decision if I were you, Brad. Sheesh.</p>
Honest to god, who gives a shit. Troy Williamson has a $32 million dollar contract and $13 million guaranteed. I could maybe understand a little outrage if he was a practise squad player with no job security. Troy Williamson just lost his grandmother, the last thing he cares about is a couple game checks right now, so why should we make a fuss over it.</p>
After re-considering, the Vikings have decided to pay him anyway.</p> The thing they were upset about wasn't that he missed the game, it's that he went AWOL for 9 days and told NO ONE in the organization where he was or what he was doing. So they were trying to set an example, then re-assessed their actions later.</p>
