CULPEPPER WILL START AGAINST VIKINGS
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said on Wednesday that quarterback Daunte Culpepper will be the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
For Culpepper, it will be his first game at the Metrodome since being traded to the Dolphins for a second-round pick in early 2006.
The trade capped several weeks of acrimony between Culpepper and coach Brad Childress, arising primarily from the manner in which Culpepper was rehabbing a serious knee injury suffered in Charlotte the prior season. Surely, Culpepper will be motivated to make the Vikings regret the decision to send him out of town.
