EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- In the postmodern NFL, where every team and player searches far and near for extra competitive edges, optional offseason practices are voluntary in name only.

Players can't be fined or officially disciplined for absences, but the coaches are never pleased when the locker room isn't completely full.

well at least 2
of them had excuses

so really the only one to be concerned about it birk because hes the only guy holding out of attending because hes trying to prove a point..mckinnie is an idiot, but if he wasnt in trouble, im sure he would be there, and chester obviously has a valid reason to not attend according to childress..hopefully they give birk an extension some day soon and he joins the team, otherwise his holdout could carry into training camp

I just looked out the window and yes, the sky is indeed falling.
