Benny Sapp is about to join Donovan McNabb and Bernard Berrian on the unemployment line

Any chance cornerback Benny Sapp had of being retained by the Minnesota Vikings for the 2012 season has probably vanished after he had a bizarre altercation at a children's hospital in Minneapolis Friday morning.

Sapp has played reasonably well for a guy who was unemployed a couple of months ago. And even though he turns 31 on January 20, he might have been a candidate to be resigned considering the state of the Vikings secondary.

But when you've had the year the Vikings had and you're a fringe player, you can't create these kind of headlines and expect to stick around. I expect Sapp to be inactive for Sunday's game and we could see a lot of rookie Brandon Burton for once.

Was Sapp running late for practice? There is a lot of pressure on these guys to be on time.

Sapp was asked about this after yesterday's game and that's basically what he told the press.

Darren,

Sorry for contacting you this way but I could not find an email address for you on the site.

Anyways, I have started a new Vikings blog (I was formerly at Vikings Gab) and would love to talk with you about a link exchange and possibly doing some collaboration if you are interested.

My site is www.vikingsterritory.com and my email is adammwarwas@gmail.com

Feel free to drop me an email. Thanks for the consideration and keep up the great work!

Adam
