Here's the official, on-the-record update on the Vikings' quarterback situation, per coach Mike Zimmer's press conference moments ago …

Q: Have you decided yet on your starting quarterback?

A: "I have."

Q: Have you told the team?

A: "Maybe."

Q: Is it Shaun Hill or Sam Bradford?

A: "I guess we'll find out Sunday."

As for the "mood" of the team heading into the opener, Zimmer said, "I think the mood is fine. I think most teams are pretty resilient. They understand things happen throughout the course of a season. So there's been obviously some mood swings, but I think they're good."
