The Facts:
An odd thing happened as media members waited for Madieu Williams' news conference to begin. A Vikings official and someone wearing a Vikings cap and with a Vikings jersey in his arm emerged from the team's weight room. First thought: Did we just see Berrian? It certainly wasn't Williams and it looked like Berrian. (Update: After examining his picture in the Bears media guide, we are now sure it was the 6-1 Berrian.)

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Later in the Williams' news conference HC Brad Childress did say that Berrian remained at Vikings headquarters and that talks were still ongoing with the receiver. "He's not here against his will," Childress joked. "He's not shackled. ..." Vikings exec Rick Spielman did and would not say if Berrian was going to try to take a visit to Oakland today. At this point, Star-Tribune staffer Judd Zulgad advised readers it would not be surprising to get wind of a Berrian news conference later this afternoon or Sunday morning.
