VikeFans 10 Second Clip of Bradford - Was he Limping?

[Tom Moore]

We took some of this shot before the game, and the last part as he was walking into the locker room after the game.

Sam is very quiet in general, but he talked to no one either time.  He was clearly disappointed, and it sure seemed he wished he could play.  He was limping very slightly, and he constantly has security next to him.  You approach him, and security will back you down.   This is true for Sam and Teddy - they are truly off-limits unless it is Fox National or pooled interviews.

I don't know a player that DOESNT want to go (OK- Maybe Peterson trying to save his "value")

But sometimes a player needs to be protected from THEMSELVES.
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

I think "sad" is the best way to describe Sam's mood.   He simply did not have the mobility to step into throws and protect himself last Sunday.

As for the security guard, most are really great to deal with - the one who escorts Zimmer in, and the one who escorts the team in, are former Twin Cities police and are great guys, but they tolerate no nonsense.

Sams "bodyguard" is a bit over the edge.  You'd think he was protecting the President of the United States.  He barks at you if you are even close, and it isn't necessary for us, but probably is for the other media who just need to get the story from Sam.
