Childress at Winter Park

May 7th, 2009 – 9:09 AM by Judd Zulgad

Well this is an interesting twist.

We were told by multiple sources yesterday that Vikings coach Brad Childress was going to visit with Brett Favre. But as NFL players like to say, the camera doesn’t lie. In this case, FOX9’s cameras captured Childress walking into Winter Park at around 7 a.m. today.

That was surprising given that Childress had been expected to meet with Favre today as well. ESPN initially reported on Tuesday that the two would meet “later this week” and there is no reason to expect that won’t happen. But at this point (9:08 a.m.), no meeting appears to have taken place.

Maybe it was his stunt double fox9 saw today? Or maybe a his twin brother…you guys need some better sources!!!

Maybe Favre is coming up here? Maybe they already shook hands on a potential deal.

Jimmymac is onto something. Might have been Gilbert Godfried from the Tonight Show.

Purple Pride says:

maybe it was Bus Cook. Him and Chili must go to the same stylist and ask for the ‘pedophile’ look.

Why wouldn’t he be back this morning…How long does it take to shake hands on a deal and drop off a play book ??…

Rachel Nichols is going to report on it soon on espn sportscenter…

kennyrogers says:

May 7th, 2009 at 9:42 am

Could be, Purp. Another reason: Chili might have been puking at the airport and came back home.

Maybe there was a Mr. Potato Head toy outside of Winter Park and it was mistaken for Brad Childress?

Zudd Zulgad doesn’t know that the hell he’s talking about. Good god, what a bunch of crap reporting.

North00Star says:

May 7th, 2009 at 9:45 am

Maybe they communicated via text messages.

kennyrogers says:

May 7th, 2009 at 9:52 am

Good one, Northstar. Brett texted “OK!”

What the heck is going on? The anticipation is killing me. Why wasn’t someone stationed at the minniapolis airport? All this assuming stuff is beginning to anger me. We want solid reporting not rumors and guesses!

That was Mr. Whipple at Winter Park!

Actually it was “Major Dad”. You know, the guy that played him and one of the brothers on “Simon and Simon. Whatsisname? Gerald McRaney or something?

Just “Major Dad” to me.

Kenny:

Favre also texted Dilfer the word “No.” He’s a big text guy.

Vikes-R-Us says:

Chilly’s now in total control of the fans without saying a word. What a rush that must be for him!

Leave it to ESPN to create stories when there seems to be a lack of them. Childress is in Minnesota? He probably never left. They never had dinner. And Brett is still sitting on his tractor. This is bullsh#$t. Everybody needs to quit reporting on this story until we either see Brett speaking into a camera stating his intentions to retire. Or, Brett standing in front of a camera waving his new purple jersey.

Matt Jones says:

This was all a big misunderstanding. It wasn’t Childress was going to Mississippi (the state) to meet with Brett Favre, it was that he was going to Mississippi (the river) to skip stones with Brett Favre. Unfortunately, Mensa Childress showed up in Minneapolis and Mensa Favre in Mississippi…. Both now believe they were stood up, and because they are ranked #1 & #2 in the world rankings of egomaniacs, neither will call the other to clear up the mistake. Rumor has it neither is aware that the Mississippi river exists in both locales. So you heard it here first, the Favre to Vikings rumor is now officially dead.

Brett’s not the final piece, Braylon Edwards is…..give a pick and sign him up before Berrian’s toe becomes the story of the year!!

So, is there still a minimum acceptable standard for jouralism at this paper, or did it go in the budget cuts?

um-dontaskme says:

May 7th, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Hopefully, it’s higher than my standard for spelling above.

Make with the retraction already! Don’t pretend all the BS you wrote yesterday about meeting times and transportation options was acceptable.

ilviking says:

May 7th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

I can’t say for sure Childress was in Mississippi but there were 3 Viking Reps at Favres ranch in MS yesterday. I assume one was Chilly. I have it from very good source that it is almost a done deal. Favre needs to pass a couple tests on the arm and he wears purple ths year. All the other stuff you have read and heard is rumor. I am telling you this is fact.

MeanBone says:

May 7th, 2009 at 1:43 pm

There’s nothing to retract. All they reported was that previously reliable sources told them Childress planned to meet with Favre. Plans can and do change.

eyeguy says:

May 7th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Hey Cootervergas. You would suck too, if you had to play the Vikes in that dome. Check his record with Detroit. Point is…it has nothing to do with a dome as it has with the team he has had to play. In the 17 years he has had to deal with the Vikes, the Vikes have had only 3 losing seasons!

Hah! Good one Purp. He fits the bill also but no, I was thinking about Mr. Delta Burke himself, Gerald McRaney, otherwise known as “Major Dad”.

Perhaps “Major Bust” would be a better fit?

[…] Meanwhile, Favre’s agent continues to pretend that none of this is happening. I suppose that technically his client is not currently playing football, but as Drew more eloquently put it they are not fooling anyone. Everyone is kind of sick of the charade of fake retirements and the “Aw shucks, I just want to win a Super Bowl” act. Finding Brad Childress has become harder than pinning down Nemo this week, but Bus Cook couldn’t possibly know anything about that. […]
