Rookie Of The Year Green Bay

There is a big rivalry in the NFL between the
Central Division Minnesota Vikings and the Green
Bay Packers. Maybe this Rivalry exists because

ever since they joined the same division together
in the seventies. In my opinion the Minnesota is a
better team, and has better players, coaches,
administration, and fans. Cris Carter and Randy
Moss are two of the...

Newfoundland. The fishermen who fished there were
the first people who traded furs with the Indians;

years after the...
