Percy is sick again...

Hopefully it's not a big deal but I'm a little concerned since these random bouts of illness would be disappointing if they show up in the fall.

75 words.... I hope the that the rumor that the Vikes will announce Favre's contract this weekend will indeed be true. I'm growing antsy. Also, has anyone else notice how ESPN is staying away from the Favre topic ever since Werder messed up?

Interesting side note to Winfield article...

In Seifert's article about Winfield missing the minicamp, he brings up a list of others not at the camp. Among them is our new d-back Asher Allen. I thought this was a little strange because as a rookie, it seems like you would want to be at all of this stuff, mandatory and otherwise.

For all I know there may be a perfectly good explanation for his absence but, being excited about this guy's potential, I'm slightly concerned. Anyone know what is up or have any guesses? Seifert didn't comment any further.

Not so fast, Charlie Walters....

Here's Ed Werder's story: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4176703

Ed Werder seems to kind of disagree with the St. Paul Pioneer Press writer as to whether Favre actually has an appointment for surgery. Personally, I do not know who to believe at this point but I thought I'd put this up there for you all to see. This story does, however, reaffirm my preference of The Trib over the Pioneer Press.

Trent Dilfer on Brett coming back...

I don't know if anyone else saw this on NFL Live today but Trent Dilfer addressed the rumors of Favre coming back to play for the Vikes. Apparently he was texting Favre earlier today and asked him if there was any truth to the rumor of him coming back. Favre gave him a "resounding no".

I don't know about you all but this helps put the issue to rest a little bit for me. It was the first time I think I've ever enjoyed listening to Dilfer.

Ok, I know we've exhausted the QB topic, but...

As I'm sitting here watching this BCS National Championship game, I'm marveling at Tim Tebow. Now, I know that he is not the ideal NFL quarterback. He is often criticized for his mechanics, throwing motion, etc. But really, this kid is one of the more passionate and hardworking athletes out there.

If he falls in the draft, which I think he might, we could have a shot at him. He'd be happy to come here and have a chance to play QB at the pro level, something not everyone would be willing to give him. It just seems that with a guy as hard-working as Tebow, the chance might be worth taking. He would also be an asset because of the leadership he would bring to our offense.

What do you all think?
