Greg Olsen plays football for the Carolina Panthers, but is currently out with an injury. To help fill the void of bashing heads on Sundays, he has been tasked with calling the Minnesota Vikings-Los Angeles Rams game. Apparently, the Vikings are not too thrilled about it.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman told NFL.com's Tom Pelissero that he spoke with the NFL and FOX to relay that the team feels it is inappropriate to have Olsen in the booth for Sunday's game.

This has a bit to do with the idea that either team could see the Panthers in the playoffs. Traditionally speaking, the people in the booth get an inside view of how each team operates. In a way, that is part of the issue here, as Greg Olsen won't be allowed to do that, as he could potentially get information that damages the Vikings and/or the Rams down the road.

“We are excited for the opportunity to make this Sunday's broadcast fun and insightful with Pro Bowler Greg Olsen,” FOX said in a statement to Tom Pelissero. “We fully respect the Vikings concerns and will limit the amount of pre-game access allowed to Greg. We look forward to welcoming him in the broadcast booth and giving viewers a unique perspective this Sunday.”

Olsen added: “I don't know if the Vikings still do but the way we think about it — nothing I'm going to see from that booth a million miles in the sky is any different than what we would see on a game film. I'm going to watch that Rams-Vikings game a hundred times between now and then, getting ready to play them. Whether I see it live from the same angle or see it on film, I don't think there's really too much advantage that I or the Panthers would have.”
