Seriously.  This is Andrea Davis or Chad Johnson money and Berrian
isn't near as good as they are.  The Vikes just morgaged part of their
future in an investment that's not going to pay the dividends their
hoping.

Indirectly, this benefits us, both in terms of what it will allow the
Bears to do with the money they didn't spend on Berrian and how it
will limit the Vikings' moves in the future.
