The Facts:
Brad Childress said Sunday that he hasn’t talked to Favre in a couple of weeks and was not told directly by the retired QB that he will make a decision about whether to play by the time the Vikings report to training camp on July 30. But Childress, who was on vacation last week, did see Favre’s recent comments about having a self-imposed deadline. More importantly, perhaps, Childress also saw the footage of Favre throwing to receivers at a high school in Hattiesburg, Miss. “I liked his throwing motion, the little bit that I saw on tape,” Childress said. “It looked fine to me.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Star-Tribune staffer Judd Zulgad reminded readers, Childress has received first-hand reports on Favre’s throwing from OC Darrell Bevell and head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman, who both made the trip to visit Favre in Mississippi two weeks ago. Favre is recovering from arthroscopic surgery in late May to release the partially torn biceps in his throwing arm and how his arm feels is going to be the key factor in his decision on playing another season. “I think [Bevell] thought he was progressing,” Childress said. “I think [Sugarman] felt the same way. ...” And the rest of us will know how he's progressing on the 30th. Stay tuned.
