Perhaps McGinn just said “phonecalls to” instead of “phonecalls with” not thinking that Vikings fans like yourself would analyze it so.

Some things to consider, right now we don’t know how many calls were placed or how long the chats lasted. Lets say some of these talks with Childress lasted twenty minutes or more. I’d say the Vikes would still be in hot water, wether Favre placed the first call or not.

No matter what, Brett comes out looking pretty stupid and so do your coaches. If they knew better or if they weren’t trying to work out a deal, don’t you think that would have been settled in one call? “No thanks Brett.” click… but no. They kept talking. Suspicious.

So yeah… about the Vike’s 2009 draft, um, yeah, looks like it’s going to be short some picks. And old Chili will have no else to blame for his ineptitude but himself.

Snark away, Gonzo!

And keep raising your expectations for the season Vikings fans. It will only be that much more fun to watch you guys fall on your face. Again.

Favre isn’t smart enough to come up with all this himself, maybe the Packer office is cooking all of this up. Seriously, a Packer organization cell phone? Favre is dumb, but not that dumb-he wouldn’t have been talking trade to Minnesota with THAT phone! Easy records for Green Bay to try to accuse Minnesota of tampering and cost their biggest rival in the division both money and draft picks. I hope the investigation looks at what Green Bay has to gain in this matter, instead of what Minnesota has to lose. Favre can’t play in the metrodome, he never planned on coming to Minnesota-he is just helping out the Packer organization one last time.

Actually Favre,Bevell and Chilly can have a 3 way convo if they wish just as long as that convo does not include any thing about a contract offer or hint at employment.What the Pack needs is for Favre to say an offer was made.Hmm how would that convo go between Thompson and Favre.Thompson “Bretty the Pack needs ya to say you was offered employment with the hated purple pride and forget that comment about being the water boy”.Favre”Well me and Chilly was just talking about fish and afterwards he caught a big one with my advice.”.Thompson “Forget about that standing on the sideline holding a CLIPBOARD thing and that we moved on without ya”. Favre”I was talking to Bevell about who was going be my QB for fantasy football this year.” Thompson”Bretty if ya say this you will be our starting QB this year just get reinstated”.

Gonzo, I agree with just about everything you write but am afraid I have reservations about this one. Regardless of who called whom, I’ve never heard anything about Chilly and Brett being friends so that’s a little suspicious to me. Maybe Bevell told Favre to call Chilly to work a deal, and the records show several calls of 60+ minutes, or maybe Favre called Chilly to plan a surprise party for Darrell and got his voice mail 5 times.

Without knowing how many calls there are, how long those calls lasted, and without the records of the other parties’ phones, there’s just too much gray area to confirm or dismiss the allegations. Things were looking too good for the mighty purple to not have something potentially screw it up. . .

THE PURPLE TIDE IS RISING!!!!!
