The Vikings continue to seek warm bodies to hand off to Adrian Peterson, and are apparently considering former Eagles QB Koy Detmer, since the last Eagle QB we got (Mike McMahon) lasted a whole week. This makes me that much more annoyed that we couldn't sign our 7th round pick Tyler Thigpen to the practice squad, because while he might not quite be NFL ready coming out of the Big South conference (I didn't know there was a Big South) at least there was some hope. Koy Detmer has had a long time to prove himself in the NFL, and other than in '98 when he threw a TD against the Packers and then ran down the sidelines to dance like an idiot in front of Brett Favre (who he had never met). Other than having a stupid name and looking vaguely like Kurthawk in his younger days, I don't know what he adds to the Vikings as a fourth QB while Kelly Holcomb and the Tardis recover from injuries. In truth I don't know what Holcomb is going to do in the next 8 weeks that's worth waiting for him to get better either. Maybe they can pick up the ESPN intern from about 1:18 in this video, if they can find a set of pads that will fit her.
