You do know if that does happen we will be in the news headlines: "The Panther pulled a Patriots move like in past when Patriots employee taped Dolphins practice plays."

It's not just Charlie Casserly. PFT has been questioning it and they quoted Chris Simms who apparently called it unethical.  

(I especially like this gem from PFT):

 

I get why the Vikings are not on board with this but to call Greg unethical is asinine. 

[Biscuit]

All these responses make it seem that Greg is strong-arming Fox to let him work this particular game.  He's just showing up to commentate a game.  He doesn't dictate the assignments, jackasses.

 

Edit: To be specific, I am condemning the media.

If you seriously think GO will have some competitive advantage by watching the game from the booth versus the tons of angles and all-22 footage teams use to scout their opponents then you are a moron.

And knowing that GO is gonna be the booth with the other analysts I highly doubt the Vikes are gonna be all that forthcoming with their gameplan in production meetings and interviews etc. More fake outrage.

You talking about the media response? I don't think anyone on here is implying what you just said 

[Sam Mills Fan]

Chris Spielman has worked at least one game in the Fox booth for us this year. Would you like to know who Chris Spielman's brother is? That would be Rick Spielman, THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS.

Lol literally not one response implied Greg was “strong-arming fox”

[xav8tor]

Unless his coworkers spill some beans, I fail to see how he can pick up anything he couldn't see on the tape he will see anyway. That PFF dude complaining about him being at the game is silly. What prevents him, or anyone else with a deep pocket, from attending the game with a great seat? If I was RR, and had the bucks and personnel, assuming no rules against it, I'd have a scout team at every upcoming opponent's games.

lol.  Olsen is going to watch the tape 20 times on this game regardless if he is in the booth....which gives him greater knowledge than talking in a booth about the game.

fake outrage.   Sports people simply need stuff to talk about 

This. i thought the same thing the other day. Greg is not going to have time to dissect plays like he would preparing for a game. he's calling it as an announcer. there's very little replay compared to the film room. 

[Sam Mills Fan]

Until one Vikings fan can explain why giving Chris Spielman, the brother of the current GM of the Vikings, unfettered locker room access was fine, but limiting Olsen to the booth only isn't, they can all collectively STFU.

yeah in our 2017 yearbook episode during the offseason greg olsen discusses the crucial role his identification of a wooden spoon used by the vikings staff to mix the gatorade played in our victory

Olsen should be in a different game. It's shortsighted for fox to put him in the vikings game when we play them in a few weeks. Minnesota should be upset. This would be a huddle meltdown if Kyle Rudolph was doing one of our games

Someone heard Florio this morning

I agree though.

[Chaos]

I think to take heat off of Greg, the other 52 guys should all attend the game in person, in the stands, to "observe" the Vikings.
