MANKATO, Minn.—First impressions from Vikings training camp Tuesday after the news broke that Vikings QB Brett Favre reportedly will retire rather than return for a 20th NFL season:
"I'm not a big hearsay person. I gotta hear it from the horse's mouth."

-- DT Kevin Williams
"I just found out about it two seconds ago. Coaches told us there were some rumors swirling ...
