No. 4 Should Have Been At Mini-Camp, If He's Still A Leader

Last time I checked Brad had a ring....anyway, why are you in such a pissy mood? I didn't post a pic of Brett giving the Pack the finger....geez. I actually thought Ziggy was onto something perhaps. Go rag on Shamler....LOL....

I haven't been in a pissy mood for months. I just never shy away from an opportunity to engage the enemy.

I can't remember, did Brad win his ring with the Vikings?

You might want to lay off the booze if you're not sure....

Does that make me pissy, too?

Hey learn to spell. You used a "i" instead of a "u"!

[GBRulz]

hush it Mad, I'm deliberating with the enemy here

Hey Shamrock,

There's no problem is there? This whole thread is a discussion, isn't it? My view is that the whole thing is way overblown. I also think there are Favre negativists who will load too much crap on Favre's back just as there are Favre apologists who think he can do no wrong. I think that SOV thinks he should show up as good PR/leadership and bulldog thinks he needs more reps so he doesn't throw as many INTs this year. So what? I think getting frothed up over 3 workouts is a waste of energy. I personally think that given the reaction that Favre generates to just about anything he does, he probably ought to show up just for the positive PR. He might also consider additional ablutions to cleanse himself of his evil wrongdoings (that last remark was sarcasm, not an attempt to stifle discussion!)

Wheeeee, the offseason is fun!

Here's a great pic of Brad Childress from the Viking's web site:

Actually, I think Scott's comment was brilliant

I think they've got 4 of those 3" high trophies that say "Participant" on them.

and on top they've got a gold-painted plastic mini-trophy where the two sides are fused together, just a little off so that you can easily see the seam.

Oh comeon Ras, now who's gettin pissy.

One might find a framed "award certificate" like the one below in the Vikings locker room.

[MadtownPacker]

Why are you ghosts changing the subject?

Favre is a selfish detractor. You can tell by the way he doesnt deny it. I bet he would bash himself if it gets him camera time.

Now THAT'S funny. But all that went to jacksonville with Mr Tice....(I hope!)

[GBRulz]

Hopefully Jax have plently of pencils in supply for Mr. Tice come gameday!

Most good coaches are also pretty good psychologists. Look at how Lombardi could work his players to a point and then at the exact right moment, back off to get the absolute effort out of each of his players, while at the same time, keeping their respect. I think they're much better at thinking ahead than we give them credit for. In this case, if the rumors were true that TT and M3 really didn't want him back, wouldn't this be their next likely move, excuse Brett from camp so that the one they wanted gets the reps and establishes himself with the team? Yes it's a product of, but don't you thnk it possible that it could be a motivating factor as well?

From that viewpoint yes. As a matter of fact, I did suggest once either in this thread or another (I'm too lazy to look!) that perhaps the staff was just humoring Favre until he decides to retire, and they couldn't care less if he is there or not!

After record player participation last year, coach Childress and his crack event staff are eager for this years outing on Lake Minnetonka.

Many Viking fans were unaware that new coach Brad Childress previously studied under the watchful eye of legendary Viking coach Lou "Bud" Grant.
