if edwards is saying this out loud to the media, what are he and/or the rest of the team thinking inside their heads? this has already become a locker room distraction. i noticed on the state of the vikings webcast that greenway didn’t seem to happy when he talked about the situation.

But the point still remains, unless he’s healthy, it shouldn’t be an issue.

It is good that players do not hold back what is on their minds, but New York is a different place. This is not going to be a real problem in Minnesota.

None of the Vikings players are going to do cartwheels before Brett is on board, nor should they.

Asher Allen was not involved in OTA’s, and nobody is calling him out.

Brett has not signed with the Vikings. If Brett had showed up at OTA’s without his arm in playing condition, it would just have been a media circus, players would have gotten the idea he’s only Mr. Celebrity, and he would not have been able to demonstrate what he can bring to the table.

Wait until after Brett decides his arm can make this thing fly and the introductions get made.

The meaning of prejudice is that you judge people before you ever meet them face to face.

Favre should share the Locker room with the rest of the team. Unless his weener is too-small..haha!

I also think that Edwards should worry about Edwards. He is the only one on the D-Line who didn’t make the Pro Bowl. If Udeze was healthy last year, the Line probably would have been. Udeze/Williams/Williams/Allen.

Seriously that doesn’t have anything to do with performance on the field.

The team gets dressed as the players arrive. They handle their pre-game needs, (tape ankles, wrist…etc). Then they stretch and loosen up on the field before they meet as a team in the locker-room.

If the Vikes do sign Favre, he should take the O-Line out for dinner or something like that. Something so he get to know the fella’s, and maybe get in on a few practical jokes during the season…be a part of the team.

I can’t wait for the season.

What was said was right on, just wished it came from an established and respected veteran. Not someone who makes sack record guarantees and falls way short. I still want Favre to sign. Good times.

Edwards called Favre that, and I thought about it… what’s it mean? For an HoF quality player, especially the QB, to be a prima dona.

I guess it means they think that that their decades of seniority and experience and achievement and capability have earned them the right to expect to be listened to when they speak, as if maybe they know what they’re talking about. That maybe they feel they can be trusted to do their job without supervision micromanaging the situation and second-guessing their choices. That perhaps they even feel they’ve earned a few perks above and beyond what the average kid fresh out of college is getting, no matter how hot a prospect the kid may be. That maybe they’ve earned a certain amount of respect and they know it, and they expect to receive it.

I can see where this might rub the younger folks the wrong way. The ones who still believe in egalitarian ideals of equality despite the inequity-based system they’re playing in. If they manage to last as long as one of those ‘prima donas’, they might even grow up enough to understand that achievement is King.
