He came here from Philly...Childress brought him in to help coach up the full backs.....turned out he wasn't quite up for it, so he wound up at the website. Great hire....don't let the nerdy bit fool ya. Insiders say he's like a gristly piece of twisted steel.

That's because it's actually plausible....

But seriously, i'm not too serious a guy in the off-season. And I agree with whoever it was above that Wobby has improed alot since his first few weeks. I appreciate him and it doesn't cost me a dime to read his take. IMO, peeps who are affiliated with the team should strive to be positive and encouraging. I try and let how the team actually plays be the biggest influence on my opinion. The Wobster has a great gig and keeps things positive.....I'm confident that the iggles fans miss him~

But he's not posing. Everyone knows what he's doing --hyping the team that pays him to hype them.

I have no problem with this stuff. I enjoy a little transparent fluff, now and then.

To me he is just giving the fans access to the team and its players.

I have no problem with that

I agree 100% and if you do not like him then don't watch or listen to him :wink:

Wobschall is employed by the Vikings Organization. He and his "team" run the VEN "Vikings Entertainment Network". Yes he is always very optimistic, but thats his job. If he acted in any other way im sure he would lose his job.

Q: What have you seen from the LB competition?
A: Well, it's just training camp so I can't really answer that right now. However, let me tell you about how competition works; the best guy wins the job.
