Culpepper Still Can’t Get No Love?

This one goes out to my Minneapolis crew:

Though it comes as no big surprise to many, Minnesota Vikings head cAin\'t no love?oach Brad Childress made it known that it’s a wrap for quarterback Tavaris Jackson, backpedaling on his earlier support of the struggling QB. The jaw dropper really comes in the announcement that the Vikings are putting their faith in 37-year-old Gus Frerotte, a seventh rounder from the mid-90s, as the starter for the remainder of the season. The very same Gus Frerotte who, as quarterback of the Washington Redskins, once sprained his neck when he rammed his head into a cement wall while celebrating a touchdown? Yeppers.

So, let me get this straight: Frerotte is a starter but Daunte Culpepper, the former Vikings franchise hero last seen as an Oakland Raider, is at home in an early retirement at the age of 31?

Frerotte eats good while Daunte remains unemployed. What part of the game is this?
