Judd Zulgad has been on the NFL beat since the 2003 season, when he began a (gasp) two-year stint covering the Green Bay Packers for the Star Tribune. Zulgad has covered the Vikings since 2005 and is as shocked as anyone that he is again following the daily exploits of Brett Favre.
Chip Scoggins knew his second season covering the Vikings would be eventful when he saw the news helicopter tracking Brett Favre to Winter Park and a guy dressed in a full parrot costume standing outside.

DiggAs if the 1-7 Detroit Lions didn't have enough problems.
The Lions, who will play the Vikings on Sunday at the Metrodome, will be without starting outside linebacker Ernie Sims (hamstring) and are listing starting middle linebacker Larry Foote (knee) as questionable. Not exactly good news for a team that is going to be trying to slow Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson. Jordon Dizon is listed as Sims' backup but he also is listed as questionable because of a neck injury.
Foote was able to take part in a portion of practice Friday for the first time this week. His backup on the Lions' depth chart is DeAndre Levy. Foote leads the Lions with 56 tackles and also has one sack.
Also listed as questionable for Detroit is starting right end Dewayne White (toe).
Quarterback Matthew Stafford (knee) and wide receiver Calvin Johnson (knee) are among seven Lions listed as probable. That list includes defensive tackles Joe Cohen (ankle), Grady Jackson (knee) and Sammie Hill (toe); fullback Jerome Felton (ankle); and defensive end Jason Hunter (knee).
