Transcript:"On December 2nd I received a fax from Commissioner Paul Tagliabue informing me the Bills are being fined $50,000 for criticism on my part of officiating in the last moments of our game with New England. Joe Dumars Jersey . I described two calls, back-to-back, as probably the worst I have witnessed in the 60 years I have watched pro football. Those two calls cost the Bills a very important game, one in which out team fought back very courageously from a substantial deficit. Society today is more enlightened. Fair comment and criticism are rampant. The entire media as a unit is frank and the millions watching a game are frank. But the Commissioner lecturing to me as if I were a novice, instead of one who has been involved in football infinitely longer than he has, contends that criticizing a call has "destructive and corrosive effects on the game."What is more destructive and corrosive – errant calls in front of millions of viewers or my statements of opinion? People all over the country registered shock at the way officials, however honourable their purpose, took the game away from us. Even the league has admitted to us that the calls near the conclusion of the game were incorrect. On Monday morning the Commissioner can sermonize on destruction and corrosion, but he has never experienced the pain of blowing a crucial game due to officiating. I have yet to decide whether or not I will pay or challenge the fine. But, at 80, I do know I dont need pompous lectures from the Commissioner and I feel that the $50,000 is not only unwarranted, but punitive in nature. The next time he may ask me to sit in corner." Ralph Wilson was a boss. Bill Laimbeer Jersey . LOUIS -- David Ross never expected to be on a World Series podium. Terry Mills Jersey .

MINNEAPOLIS -- Adrian Peterson thought his Minnesota Vikings had won and lost the game against Chicago about three times during a dizzying, exhilarating overtime. When the game was finally over, after two missed kicks and two made kicks, three changes of possession and one premature celebration, he walked off the Metrodome turf a winner, the nagging groin injury that has bothered him for weeks feeling just fine. Peterson carried the ball 35 times for 211 yards and Blair Walsh kicked a 34-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Vikings to a wild 23-20 victory over the Bears on Sunday. Walsh drilled his winner after a 39-yarder earlier in overtime was wiped out by a penalty and a 57-yard miss put the Bears in prime position to close it out. But the normally reliable Robbie Gould missed a 47-yarder for the Bears, leaving the door open for the tireless Peterson. He rushed nine times for 51 yards in overtime alone, including 30 on the final drive that set up Walsh. "Youre at an all-time high because you think youve got a victory, and then youre sitting there waiting for what the call is and youre at an all-time low," Peterson said. "Ultimately we were able to give him another opportunity and he nailed it." Matt Cassel threw for 243 yards with one touchdown and one interception in relief of the injured Christian Ponder for the Vikings (3-8-1), who tied Green Bay last week. Petersons fifth career 200-yard game helped him surpass 10,000 yards for his career in just 101 games, third fastest to do it behind Eric Dickerson and Jim Brown. "Its been my mindset since I was young to be the best to ever play," Peterson said. "Youve got to believe it in order to accomplish it." Goulds wife gave birth to the couples first child at 1 a.m. Sunday, and he hopped a flight from Chicago shortly after to get to the game. He said that wasnt an excuse for the miss. "It was one of the greatest days of my life, and Im happy for my wife and my little boy," Gould said. "Sorry I couldnt do it for my teammates like I did for my wife this morning." Alshon Jeffery had 12 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (6-6), who led by 10 points midway through the fourth quarter. Matt Forte rushed 23 times for 120 yards and Josh McCown was 23 of 36 for 355 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for the Bears. Greg Jennings had seven catches for 78 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings and was halfway up the tunnel early in overtime when Walshs 39-yard field goal sailed through the uprights for an apparent victory. But Rhett Ellison was flagged for a facemask while trying to block Devin Hester. Jennings had to husttle back on to the field for another play on third down to try to gain some of the yardage back. Mateen Cleaves Jersey. Peterson was thrown for a 3-yard loss and Walshs 57-yard field sailed wide left, giving the Bears the ball just across midfield. Chicago drove into Vikings territory before a decision by rookie head coach Marc Trestman cost it dearly. On second-and-7, the coach elected to let Gould try a 47-yarder. His kick went wide right, giving the Vikings new life. "We were definitely in range, and I didnt want to at that point in time risk a possible penalty that would set us back, similar to what happened on the other side, or a fumble of some kind," Trestman said. "Something unique." With their second straight tie looming, Cassel hit Jennings for 17 yards, and the offence then rode Peterson to get Walsh in position for a second try. He buried this one, capping an unlikely comeback and prompting owner Zygi Wilf to rush the field and hug his players. Jeffery caught touchdown passes of 80 and 46 yards in the third quarter to give the Bears a 20-10 lead. Vikings defensive back Chris Cook was ejected after the second one for bumping side judge Laird Hayes while arguing for a pass interference call. But just when Jeffery had seemed to suck the life completely out of the Metrodome, Peterson delivered a jolt against a Bears defence missing five starters. Peterson ran through four tacklers for a 19-yard run that set up an 8-yard touchdown pass from Cassel to Jennings with 7:41 to play in regulation. The Vikings faced fourth-and-11 from their 8 with under two minutes to play, but Cassel positioned them for Walshs 30-yard field goal with 24 seconds to play. Amazingly, both teams still had a chance to win in regulation after that kick. Goulds 66-yard prayer in the final seconds landed in Cordarrelle Pattersons arms in the end zone, but his bid to match the miracle return from Auburns Chris Davis that beat Alabama on Saturday was stuffed. When it was all over, the Bears were in no mood to talk about the craziness of the game. "Weve got to put up a win in the win column. ... The standings dont matter if you dont win football games," said McCown, playing again for the injured Jay Cutler. NOTES: Bears DE Julius Peppers had 2 1/2 sacks. ...
