Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper is demanding a trade from the perpetual burning ship that is the Vikings. Apparently the team sent him an email that upset him, and now he wants out.

Well, DC isn't exactly riding out of town on the shoulders of the masses, is he? Of course, there is one good thing about coming off of a season that saw you post career-worst numbers, tear three knee ligaments, and get charged in connection with the legendary Minnesota Vikings Sex Boat Scandal of '05. Now, Culpepper has some leverage with the team.

I know some people will think it goes the other way, but look at it like this, now Culpepper has nothing to lose. He's gone from a quality NFL quarterback to a legitimate menace to society. If you don't trade him, Lord knows what he'll do. If you want to keep him in Vikings purple next year, you run the risk of him sticking up liquor stores all over the Twin Cities.

And how bad was that email? I get a thousand forwarded messages a day about Amber alerts and cookie recipes, and it never drives me over the edge.
