It sounds like the twitter feud between Visanthe Shiancoe and Darren Sharper has finally come to an end.
Speaking at the Vikings annual playground build at Nellie Stone Johnson Community School in North Minneapolis, Shiancoe clearly didn't want to talk much about the issue, but he said the war of words -- or tweets -- is over. For now.
"I said what I had to say and I'm done with that for a little bit," Shiancoe said. "We'll see what happens in the future though. You'll never know what will re-invent itself in the future. Stay tuned."
Shiancoe declined to say whether anyone from the team or the league told the two players to cease. He also was a little coy when asked if the twitter feud was serious or just friendly trash talk between friends.
"You guys will see how serious it is on Thursday night," he said, referring to the Thursday's night season opener between the Vikings and Saints on Sept. 9.
Shiancoe did say he has no animosity toward Sharper.
"It's competition," he said. "That's my boy. But at the same time, we're very, very, very extremely competitive guys. He was my locker mate for three years so we know each other well. We hang out and things of that nature."
UPDATE: Saints coach Sean Payton essentially told Sharper to knock it off, according to this ESPN.com report. "I don't anticipate it being any more of an issue," Payton said after the Saints held their first minicamp practice Friday.
