QB BATTLES: NFL quarterback battles are a farce. The outcome of most training camp quarterback competitions are predetermined. If they’re not, that team is in real trouble.
SMART TEAM EXTENDS SMART COACH: The Vikings aren’t letting Mike Zimmer get away. Relax, they didn’t lock him in the basement or anything, they gave him a contract extension.
