Detmer gets cut. Vikings make the Williamson thing right.

The Koy Detmer era didn't even last five days and the Vikings decided to give Troy Williamson his pay check after all. We won't miss Detmer a bit and now hopefully all of the national media attention can go away from the team as it relates to Williamson not getting paid.

The media ripped the Vikings all week long for not paying Troy Williamson because he missed last week's game due to family issues. We sided with Williamson, he should have been allowed to be away from the team. His Grandma died and his brother is in a coma. Those seem like pretty good reasons to be away from work.

Meanwhile Detmer is leaving before he had a chance to meet everyone on the team. His departure means Kelly Holcomb Tarvaris Jackson will be healthy enough to back-up...um... (shudder) Brooks Bollinger.

It's Packer Week. Let's hope Adrian Peterson packs his running shoes.
