Childress, Favre meeting set
May 6th, 2009 – 12:46 PM by Judd ZulgadVikings coach Brad Childress is expected to depart for Mississippi later today and meet with quarterback Brett Favre tonight and Thursday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Childress remained at Winter Park early this afternoon but the source said he is expected to have dinner with Favre this evening and begin discussions about Favre joining the Vikings.
The in-depth portion of the meeting is expected to take place Thursday. Among the Vikings’ chief concerns is the status of Favre’s injured right biceps. At this point, the meeting is expected to take place in Mississippi, where Favre lives.
Favre, the longtime Green Bay Packers star, was granted his release from the Jets’ reserve/retired list last week and thus is free to sign with any team he wants. Favre announced his retirement for a second consecutive offseason in February after a season with the Jets. Favre retired in March 2008 from the Packers but changed his mind.
The Packers did not want him back and at that point he set his sights on playing for the Vikings. The Packers made sure that didn’t happen by trading Favre to New York.  Â

I wonder what they are going to have for dinner.
The tension is killing me.
They’re going to find a river and skip rocks. That’ll give us a good idea on the condition of teh shoulder.
Whoa Nellie, things are heating up now…….
Get your tickets.
Farve vs Rodgers for Monday Night Football.
Packer fans must be squirming……
Go Vikes
I bet brett can still throw a double digit skipper 10-12 skips is pretty good!!
Yes, rock skipping in Mississippi. May as well use the Mississippi River, which also runs through Minneapolis, but some of you may know that. But I’m sure Chili will want to know if Brett’s going to treat the janitor the same as the owner, and if he tells a lie, to remember what lie he told last. Then he’ll grab him and squeeze his knee, get snapshots, and take Brett and put him in his car and drive him around Lake Minnetonka and ride all day long.
Brett seems like a good guy to take a drive with…
[…] I know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath for more news on Brad Childress’s meeting with Brett Favre. Well, there’s more news finally: Access Vikings says Chilly will leave Minnesota Wednesday afternoon - no doubt someone will post a link to the site where you can track the flight - and have dinner with Favre. Then, on Thursday, the two will get down to brass tacks. Have no idea if tractor rides, fishing or hooking thumbs behind suspenders will be involved. Try to get that for you as soon as I can.

Well, if Zygi is more concerned with avoiding blackouts than making a run deep into the playoffs, he seems to have found a way to do that. So if this happens, does Jackson get cut? Booty? And what’s the 2010 QB situation look like? I’m SO sick of how this team continues to bring in these gray-haired veteran retreads whose primes were 10+ years ago to play QB.
Viking fans, go ahead, take him. Packer fans don’t want this egotistical 40 year old baby that is Brett Favre. He is a horrible teammate (ask the Jets), is injured, and has faltered when it counts the most. The ONLY reason he is coming back is to “get back” at the Packers. He could care less about the Vikings or their fans.
If the arm is healthy, he is upgrade over what we have.
Packers fans squirming? Au contraire. I hope you guys get him. Only then will you truly understand the agony that goes along with having Favre on your team. Sure he still makes a lot of good plays, but just wait until you get into a playoff situation and he throws 3 or 4 INTS to clinch it for the opposition. When that happens (and I guarantee it will) I’ll shake my head and feel sympathy for Vikings fans. For about 2 seconds. Then I’ll have a good laugh.
Everyone is concerned about how Sage feels. What’s Tarvaris, chopped liver?
I wouldn’t shed a tear if Jackson or Booty got cut.
2006 - B. Johnson/T. Jackson
2007 - T. Jackson/K. Holcomb/B. Bollinger/T. Jackson
2008 - T. Jackson/G. Frerotte/T. Jackson
2009 - B. Favre/S. Rosenfels/T. Jackson/ JD Booty
2010 - S. Rosenfels/T. Jackson/JD Booty/2nd Round Pick from DII University
Any questions on “The QB Plan”?
Booty to practice squad, then KC
[…] The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress will be flying to Mississippi to meet with Favre, and talks are expected to go through Thursday. Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is basking in the thought of Favre wearing Vikings purple. He was quoted as saying, […]
[…] There are a few things that are sure in life like death and taxes.  Add to those the yearly waffling of prima donna quarterback Brett Favre. This guy is a mess. He goes from team to team trying to get over on the Pakers. […]

Catfish. I bet they have catfish for dinner.
Viking fans would be better off with Sage…Really, they should storm the front office in protest. Laughing out loud at this….4 INT’s/game? or 5? Blaming teammates for defeats? Throwing the ball up for grabs with the season on the line? Are the VIKES going to sign Desmond Howard too? I can’t wait. Good luck with this…Hee hee hee hee….
I think Favre needs the Vikes way more than the Vikes need Favre. No other team in the NFC North will want him. And he won’t go anywhere unless he can get a chance to stick it to the Packers. Man, that hate must run deep.
It’s sort of reminding me of Childress’s meeting with Harvin, where he had gazed Bush-like into the young man’s eyes, and then decided to make him the pick. The bottom line with Favre is he can work out really well…. or not. The problem as I see it is the man who’s making the decision is the guy who nobody in MN trusts to make the right decision. The guy who has already chased three QB’s out of town. Most of all though, I think Childress has finally decided to take some big risks in order to save his job. Anything is better than 3 yard outs to Tahi. Except an opponent returning a Favre duck 50 yards for a TD. That’s probably worse.
[…] Brett Favre kan er maar geen genoeg van krijgen. Zijn haat tegen zijn oude team Green Bay zit zo diep, dat de legendarische ballengooier overweegt voor de tweede keer in twee jaar tijd op zijn pensioen terug te keren. Volgens insiders zou divisierivaal Minnesota Vikings onderwerp van gesprek zijn, nu hoofdcoach van die ploeg (Brad Childress) met zijn privejet naar Favre toekomt. […]
[…] Specifically, Childress is expected to travel to Mississippi tonight for a dinner meeting with veteran quarterback Brett Favre, according to Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. […]
Brett Favre puede ser un buen persona para la posición de QB para los VIKINGS. El puede mejorar la posición y el es mas bueno que los jugadores que ya tenemos. Since were throwing other languages out there..
worst idea ever. i couldn’t dream up anything worse that this for the vikes.
Brett will tremendously help the Vikings. Sure, he fell during the last 5 games of last year, but go ahead and look at the number of times he was sacked. The bottom line is, the Jets made him throw way too much, and offered little protection behind center. In 2007-08 season, Brett was sacked half as much and performed twice as well. All that aside, it can’t hurt to Brett Favre mentoring the rest of our QB crew.
GO VIKES!
This is all a very bad idea!!! I don’t think anything good can from the Vikes signing Favre! I guess maybe he will bring in money but that is it. There is absolutley no way he will bring us to the superbowl!!!!!!!!
Horrible idea, Did any of you watch hime play the last 5 years? He had a blip in 07 with a decent year. The only thing I remember him for are terrible interceptions in critical situations, and lots of them.
Hmmm….like our current QB crew isn’t known to throw interceptions during critical moments. I don’t think this aspect of the Vikings can get any worse…with our without Favre.
Rumor has it they are grabbing dinner at the famed Keg and Barrel in downtown Hattiesburg: http://www.kegandbarrel.com/Keg_and_Barrel/Home.html
Very good question on who gets cut if Favre comes in. Booty is only project they have so can’t be him. Rosenfels was just brought in. Jackson? Do they carry 4 qbs or try to slip Jackson to practice squad?
You know maybe some good can come of this. Either we win our first Super Bowl or Childress gets fired. Maybe there is some good!!
i see it now john madden will come out of retirement … whos gonna be around to give bret love
We might have well just brought back Jeff George!
Just saw Chilly walk up to the Keg and Barrel, down here in Hattiesburg. No sign of Favre yet.
Brett got Bevell a job he didn’t deserve. Now maybe Brett can show that Bevell isn’t a coordinator and Childress not a head coach and get them both fired!
Get a life people.
“Get back to work” to those of you blogging about this crap if you are at work. (Bet your boss would love to know what you are doing)
For those of you unemployed. GET A JOB or at least look for a job instead of blogging about what Favre and Childress are doing tonight.
YOU ARE ALL LOSERS !
Well Richard, I can’t decide what my boss would like more….blogging about Brett Favre….or blogging about people who blog about Brett Favre.
YOU’RE THE LOSER!!!
[…] But now its May - you’ve had months to ponder the rest of your life as a regular citizen, and you seem to be getting antsy. Many people think you’re still angry about Thompson locking you out of the franchise, and are thirsty for revenge against the Pack. Your recent actions seem to support that idea: You’re reportedly meeting with Vikings coach Brad Childress, contemplating a return to the field wearing (I can’t believe I’m typing this) PURPLE AND WHITE? How could you return again, and this time with a long-time rival? Even some Vikings fans are appalled, with one fan blog calling this Favreageddon. It’s like Troy Aikman suiting up for the Redskins! Peyton Manning under center for the Patriots! Or even John Elway throwing it deep for the Raiders! Shudder… […]

[…] Fans, Your Tears Taste Like Victory Jump to Comments Oh my God, this is … Mmm! It’s so delicious. Packer fans, your salty tears are providing mecontinued sustenance. It is absolutely delectable! Lord Favre coming to the Vikings is disturbing for me, sure, but to see the meltdown happening all across Wisconsin … My God, I could feast on this anger for decades and not get enough. Your American Idol, lasting hope, crowned king of all things cheese, wearing purple and defeating your team twice a year? I mean, holy … seriously, you can not come up with a better story (assuming of course that Childress and Favre’s clandestine meeting goes according to plan). […]
