My god, did you guys see him at the press conferance. "I'm Brett Favre! I'm a cute little goofball... Look at everyone else trying to look decent for their press conferances. Not me, I wear a cut off t-shirt and a dirty hat! Why? Because I play football like an adorable child. You just can't help but giggle every time I take the field." Brett Favre is just to DIE for isn't he!
So Favre gets to skip the preseason workouts. Has the owner fly him into town on his own private plane. Has Childress himself pick him up from the airport and drive him to camp. Seriously, what the F#$!%#!. I think someone in the journal sentinal said something along the lines that he may have not been bigger than the Green Bay Packers, but he sure as hell got bigger than the Minnesota Vikings. You think the team is going to embrace this crap? I think the mutiny has already begun.
Now lets think about this from a pure football perspective. Everyone is pretty much thinking the same thing. Favre has Adrian Peterson. All he has to to is drop back and hand him the ball. Maybe a dink or dunk pass here or there. Easiest job in sports! Unfortunatly for Minnesota, they're they're talking about Brett Favre. The guy's a spaz. There's no way he'll just sit back there and be obedient to the all powerful Peterson. He can't play a single game without just chunkin one up there. Packer fans are way too accustomed to it. Then there's the Vikings receiving corps. Name one! Do it! I can't.
It's like they downplay the importance of a quarterback on this team because their rushing attack is that good. If that's the case why sign Favre in the first place? Any qb can just sit back there and hand it off 60% of the time. I'm sure Sage Rosenfals or Tvaris Jackson would of been just fine. They're a hell of a lot cheaper too.
Oh but now we have a guy who can perform when the game is on the line. When they really count! 6 picks vs. St. Louis. Game losing interceptions vs. the Eagles and Giants. Getting creamed by Michael Vick and the Falcons. Favre can be blamed for 5 post season failures. Remember that huge matchup between the Packers and Cowboys a couple years ago? Favre went out there and completed spazzed. It was a joke! Then he goes and gets hurt and Rodgers comes out and at least established some order and control to that offense. Favre is not the guy you want on your team when the game is on the line.
Aaron Kampman said it best. "The red shirt comes off." Minnesota, you are about to start the most embarassing season in your franchise's history..... oh wait, there was the orgy on lake minnetonka. Make that the second most embarassing season ever. Oops, there was that time Onterrio Smith got busted in the airport with the whizzinator. Ok fine, Minnesota, get ready for your third most embarassing season ever.
In 6 months, take a look at this picture Childress. This is why you got fired.
