Minus the ice, the skates and pretty much everything else, the Minnesota Vikings training camps looks much like playoff hockey. There's a frightening presence of beards.
Several newcomers had 'em. Donovan McNabb has had a beard for a while. Perhaps showing solidarity with their new QB, new Vikings Michael Jenkins and Remi Ayodele are sporting the bearded look. Jared Allen had a beard. Offensive linemen Steve Hutchinson, Anthony Herrera and John Sullivan still do. Percy Harvin has a little artist goatee.
I don't get it. In 100 degreee heat! In pads that make it feel 120, a beard just seems too hairy. Too uncomfortable. The chin strap can't fit right. Maybe it's for luck. Maybe like hockey, the playoff run starts now.
