Jeff George

[sportscurmudgeon]

Here is the scenario that speaks volumes about Jeff George.

He was with the Vikes the year after Randall Cunningham had his fantasy year and George was the back-up. Cunningham got hurt in about the 3rd or 4th game of the year and was out. Jeff George stepped in and led the team to the playoffs and saved Denny Green's butt - which was on the line in Minny then because of some "sexual harassment allegations".

So after George saves Green's butt, what does Green do in the off-season? He releases Jeff George.

Now, maybe Dennis Green isn't the most wonderful human being in the world and maybe he is a preening, pretentious schmoe, but he just cut the guy who saved his bacon and never looked back. So tell me ... just how difficult must it be to have Jeff George in your locker rooom when you want to get rid of him after he leads you to the playoffs???
