Childress' Master Plan

Disclaimer: Please do not read on or post hate comments if you are upset about all of the Favre drama. Personally i don't mind this drama, and it's my choice to waste my life reading about it. This post is overflowing with conspiracy theories and is purely for the entertainment of the what-if-scenarios.
Conspiracy Theory 101: never expect what is said to be true, and what is true is never actually said, at least not initially. Doing this (never saying what is true) is the guiding philosophy of Favre's agent (Bus Cook), or at least it was last year, and will it be this year?
With that being said let us begin the festivities... 3 events strike me as being apart of the great guru of character evaluation's (Childress') Master Plan.
1. The Cutler Contention: Childress intended to make a big splash for Cutler? Of course not, the Vikings love the draft (but last yr we loved Jared Allen more, hell yeah!). The conspiracy is that Old Chill Dog wanted to express enough interest or at least as much so as to make other teams (aka the Bears) in the NFC North with struggling QB crops worry he may pull the trigger on the Denver Diva. Of course we all know the Bears got Cutler, but as Chilly planned, the Bears payed the Ultimate Price by sacrificing many future picks, thus greatly hampering their rebuilding over the next few years. Chilly is an offseason genius if this is how he played this one out!
2. Wilf's Februrary Statement: (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/02/16/zygi-isnt-interested-in-brett) The Sugar Daddy stated he didn't want Favre. The conspiracy is there's no need for the Vikes to get caught up in tampering, but more importantly this statement was part of Chilly's misinformation/misdirection attack on the Packers, Jets, and the Media. A most brilliant move by the Mustache, Wilf's comment essentially made everyone believe the Vikings had no interest in Favre. That's just what Chilly wanted everyone to think while Favre was still being held hostage by the Jets. This allowed Favre to nonchalantly wait for the moment to spring clear of the Jets via release and prepare to join the Purple & Gold. You know that plane that went down to Hattiesburg, Mississipi from Minneapolis?..................... (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/165682-private-jet-heads-to-hatttiesburg-is-brett-favre-on-the-move) Well, yeah I'm betting it had a few Viking executives, a Viking Kick A$$ Offensive playbook, and a few palettes of Kick A$$ pain killers to spice up some early talks with Old Brett.
3. Brett's No-Surgery Biceps = Great Norse Success: Ah yes the torn biceps muscle that may have affected Farve's end-of-season Jet collapse play. Well the conspiracy is there was a Purple & Gold reason why Favre didn't opt to have surgery on that biceps brachii. It's because Chilly told him not to (well that's a stretch). But honestly, a "bicepsually hurt" Favre is a less likely candidate as backup to Sanchez on the Jets roster than is a recovering-from-successful-biceps-surgery Favre. Chilly's plan was to get Favre off the roster and into the land of Free Agency, where tampering does not abound, and the Great Communicator (no that was Reagan), I mean the Great Charactervaluator orchestrated this great success very nicely.
The Master Plan Summary: Chilly loves Tarvaris Jackson, but has a huge man-crush on the previously untouchable Brett Favre. Now that Wilf's misinformation, and Brett's "retirement" and non-opt for biceps surgery utterly seduced the Packers, Jets, and Media into thinking Favre was calling it quits and the Vikings would never get him, we are about to land the Great Interception Machine #4 in Minnesota. These signs of conspiracy are unmistakeable and Chilly, The Great Seducer (no that doesn't ring well), is quite the Sly Dog in getting those Gullible Bears to be trapped into paying the Ultimate Price for the Denver Starlet. Chilly is the guru of offseason NFL acquisition, and this recent successful plan to free Favre from the Jets has been one of his greatest sleights of hand. Chilly may not be a great coach during the season but oh boy is he a Masterful Magician when real NFL football games aren't being played!
You think these conspiracies are true? You better know I don't, or do I? But hell it's fun to speculate!
Skol Vikes!!! The Most Talented NFC North Team Hands Down & Of Course The 2008 NFC North Champions!!!

Favre
makes the Vikings instant Super Bowl contenders. I would love to watch the Vikings with a dynamic offense. You have the best back in the game, a savy veteran at QB a stud flex receiver whats not to like. Add to this one of the best offensive line in the history of the game and a great back up runner and you are talking about an offense that could set records. The only thing missing is a stud wide receiver but Bolden could be available and that would finish off the offense.

I wouldn’t call the OLine the best in the history of the game. That’s definitely a stretch. I wouldn’t even call it good. As far as we know, at this point, it’s simply servicable.
No kidding. Our line last year wasn’t even as good as it was the year before. We’ll have at least one—hopefully two—new starters this year. It’s significantly above average, but nowhere near one of the best of all time. Please.
And Favre is washed-up. Done. Don’t you see that, people?

The less evidence you have, the better! “Can you prove what you’re saying is true?” “Of course not! You see how well they’re hiding it?”
As the Zen Master says: We Shall See...
We shall see...
Nice quote by the Zen master. We shall see what Chilly makes of Favre’s availability.
QB Divas
Favre’s catching flak here for being a ‘diva’ (or would that be a ‘divo’? almost makes ya want to wear a flower pot and strip women with a whip…. wow… was I smokin’ with Harvin or was that an ‘80s flashback, or reading Elgar’s posts is starting to corrupt me!).
Cutler caught flak for the same charge.
It’s got me thinking… what QB worth his salt isn’t something of a ‘diva’? I mean, a good QB is the team leader on the field, like it or not. All the hooey about AP being the team leader on the field plays real well at kum-bi-yah campfires but AP doesn’t call the plays. AP doesn’t get to make command decisions at the line of scrimmage. The QB is the leader, the band conductor, he calls the tune and even when the plays are coming from the side-line, he gets the ball first and gets to decide what happens next. He’s got to be smart, he’s make decisions for everyone and bears the responsibility for the screwups on the field.
So is it really that surprising if a QB is aware of his value and ability and responsibility, and is cocky about it? Maturity will refine it, I suppose, but I think that maybe a good QB is likely going to be something of a diva, and the only difference is whether or not they’re smart enough and mature enough to handle it well.
So are Manning and Brady considered divas? The only “diva” like things those two have done is commericals and marry a supermodel. I’ll take those over what Cutler/Farve bring everyday of the week. Or Big Ben? What “diva” crimes has he committed? Yeah, he did crash his motorcycle doing something stupid (I assume since he crashed as bad as he did he was being reckless at the very least), but it didn’t affect his season or the way his team played, 2 SB in 3 years. Those are just examples of QBs that won the SB recently. Even those that have just played in SB recently haven’t been divas. McNabb is a little diva-ish, but with the way he is treated in Philly, his “diva” qualities pale in comparison to Cutler/Farve. Could Warner be any less of diva with all the charitable contributions he makes every year? That is five QBs that aren’t divas and accomplished more then either of the two examples that good QBs are divas. You don’t need to be a diva to be a great QB, all being a diva does is get your face and name in newspapers for all the wrong reasons.

If being a “diva” is defined by having a big ego, that’s earned by virtue of the job they perform and their importance to the team, then yes, every QB that’s worth a damn is a “diva”. And the ones who’s fragile little egos need to be protected (Vince Young comes to mind, as does the concern about how T-Jack and Sage will cope with having to fight over being second-string if Favre comes to town), maybe they’re not up to the job to begin with. It would be naive to think that Brady, and either Manning brother, or Big Ben, or Warner, are all models of humble pie. They just haven’t had been given the negative publicity from the media and bloggers to get them called names like “diva”…. yet.
Yeah, they’re all “divas” whenever it’s convenient for the media, and the blog writers, to shine their little spotlights on the players and then complain when the players actually answer the questions. Brady gets huge amounts of attention in the media, even when he isn’t playing, yet you don’t consider him to be a “diva”. That’s ridiculous.
As for giving away to charities, that makes a super star less of a “diva”? Maybe we have a difference of understanding of what the word means…. But turning Favre into a “diva”, then complaining that he’s a “diva”, is just silly.
