Jets Jump In

The anti-Favre-to-Minnesota lobby should be encouraged by this Green Bay Press-Gazette Story:

Jets’ trade talks for Favre heat up
The New York Jets are in serious talks with the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre’s agent about acquiring the legendary quarterback, a source said today.
The Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the only teams that have permission [...]

No Jared in River Falls

The Vikings are in River Falls, Wisconsin today to meet the Chiefs in their annual scrimmage. I was going to journey down to witness it…then decided I had better things to do than drive for hours on a scorching hot day in a car with busted air conditioning.  And I’m not the only one who [...]

Favre Not Playing for the Packers in ‘08. Maybe for the Vikings?

I’ve said all along that I thought Brett Favre would end up back starting for the Packers this year…but now I’ve had to change my mind.  The bribe story did it.  If you didn’t hear, Packers president Mark Murphy, who met with Favre and his agent Bus Cook yesterday in Mississippi, reportedly offered Brett $20 [...]

Jared Allen Doesn’t Care What You Think of His Beard

Jared Allen is sporting a full beard in training camp.  In this video (click on “Quick Hits: Lumberjack?” when you get to the site), he tells us what he thinks of people who don’t like it.  Don’t worry, it’s SFW.

Allen Gets Work at Tight End

Jared Allen took a break from humiliating Bryant McKinnie on Tuesday to get in some reps at tight end. Allen, we recall, was used by the Chiefs at tight end in goal line situations last year, catching a pair of touchdowns (twice as many as Vikings starting tight end Visanthe Shiancoe was able to [...]

Injuries

Ray Edwards (back) will probably come off the PUP list this week and get some practice time. Pat Williams has been nursing his elbow which was operated on in the off-season but is finally seeing some action. That’s half our alleged big-time defensive line right there. Be a shame to see the [...]

Training Camp Pix: T-Jack Toss

Tarvaris Jackson tosses a souvenir ball to a fan after Vikings practice.  It sailed three feet over the fan’s head, striking an old lady in the eye.  The old lady cried, “I wish you were Brett Favre!”

Winfield Wants the Slot

Antoine Winfield is not only fine with lining up against the slot man, he actually welcomes the opportunity:
I love the slot.  You get more action, the chance to make more plays. A lot of teams throw the ball to the slot receiver on third down, so there’s just more opportunity out there.
Vikings D-coordinator Leslie [...]
