After a rather unseasonably chilly start this morning, camp resumed and the morning session appeared to take a turn for the worst, or so Bernard Berrian would have us believe. About that chilly start, I find it funny how the "journalists" covering the Vikings made such a big deal about it. I highly doubt the players complained one bit. Upper 50's to low 60's at 7am is perfect for football and sure as hell beats the usual 90+ degree days with max humidity we normally have around here during training camp. Those pansy little thumb pressing, pencil toting musers of the gridiron need to man up a little. Now on to Day two's quick hits.
- It appears that Tarvaris Jackson is more fragile than former Atlanta Falcons QB Chris Chandler (aka: Crystal Chandelier). Bernard Berrian had more fun with his Twitter account by posting that Jackson was out for the season. Much like his Percy Harvin sighting tweet, he posted again later that he was just kidding. I don't think I'll ever believe another thing I see through Berrian's Twitter page.
- Before Jackson went down, Sage was booed while running drills with the 1st team offense. Not only that, a large gathering of fans started chanting Jackson. Sage has a loooooong way to go learning this offense.
- Our local journalists just can't get enough of the Favre Man Love.....tsk tsk Souhan!
- Those of you in PPR Fantasy Leagues, listen up. A big focus for Adrian Peterson this camp is working on becoming a better receiver out of the backfield. He's working solo with running back coach Eric Bieniemy on this very issue.
- Here's a nice piece on Randall McDaniel, who will be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame next Saturday. A great football player, but an even better person. Plus, he still resides in beautiful Excelsior Minnesota.
That's it for tonight, not much going on the first couple days besides the fragility of TJack.
