Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

John Breech of CBS Sports is reporting that McCarthy pulled in $4 million in licensing royalties last year, despite not playing a meaningful down.
