Camp Day 1 Recap

No, I'm not in Mankato, yet anyway. What I like to do is gather up all the information I've read, seen, and heard and do a quick little recap, sometimes with my take on it. So let's look at a list after day one.

- Percy Harvin a no show: While many will drive the Favre story into the ground, I happen to think one of the bigger stories is Harvin not in camp right now. It's not time to hit the panic button, but he needs a deal signed and soon. A couple of days is not that big of a deal, but if reaches a week or longer, Harvin will miss more than a rookie of his stature should.
- I think the media needs to drop the Favre questions with the other players and drop them now. The media whore has gotten more than enough air time and guys like Sage Rosenfels are sick of the talk and ready to focus on the season ahead.
- No worries about Adrian Peterson's quest to gain weight in the off season. He looks the same as last year and has by no means, lost a step.
- The Wilf's are in Mankato and made two things very clear. One, the Favre pursuit is over, even if he changed his mind, he won't be a Viking. Two, there's no plans to extend Childress' contract at this time - that's a good thing to me, he's got a ton to prove this year.
- Pat Williams: Always a Viking.
- Bobby Wade: Ready to move on after Urlacher comment, but still provided spice to an otherwise dull day.
- Here's a break down on how the Vikings QB situation is a 50-50 afair. Personally, I think Jackson has the upper hand because he knows the system. It can take a QB up to three years to learn an entirely new system, which is what Sage is going through, and so far it shows.
- Listening to KFAN this afternoon while Henry Lake was filling in for the common man and Lake was talking about how athletic Sidney Rice is. He stated that Larry Fitzgerald commented on how athletic he is. Fitz claimed that he played some ball with Rice over the offseason and that Rice was by far a lot more athletic than himself. I've always thought that if Rice could just stay healthy, he could make a huge impact in the NFL. Here's hoping that happens this year.

That's all I've got for tonight, check back tomorrow night for my day two recap.
