08:05 AM ET 07.20 | Jared Allen has drawn his line in the turf. Before Vikings rookie left tackle Matt Kalil can line up against [Allen] in training camp, Allen wants to make sure Kalil knows his place. In an interview on NBC SportsTalk, Allen said that his instructions for Kalil will be simple: No holding, no illegal hands to the face, defer to the veteran and there won't be any practice-field fights. "Just don't touch me," Allen said. "I'm too old to deal with overzealous rookies right now. Keep your hands out of my face, don't grab my jersey and we won't have to fist fight. That's pretty much what it is." As the best player on a bad team, Allen said he knows no one is predicting big things for the Vikings this year, but he doesn't mind.

It' warms the heart when the veterans take time to show the rookies how it's done....

What a feel-good story!

This is an odd little hole in the ether, isn't it? A duplicate thread, sparsely populated.

It is the boudary between truth and rumors, a journey into the imagination not only of x's, but of o's.

Next stop, the Spinny Thing Zone!

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead??? your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

I'm thinking that the duplicate thread is a case of the interns getting hit by the Spinny Thing.

Not sure why this was news one time even: "football players woofing at one another!" What a surprising development.
