  • Freddie Mitchell signs a new contract with Philadelphia that includes a muzzle and gag order.
  • At a special ceremony to honor the Vikings, Daunte Culpepper is given a $75,000 Divisional Championship ring by the City of Minneapolis. After the ceremony, city officials ask for the ring back but promise to send him something else later. Meanwhile, Culpepper installs turf in the back of his SUV so his friends can legally drive around with grass in the car.
