If you're going to let Favre usurp that, you might as well just give him the clipboard. In my experience, you're better off with a coach who can be tough on Favre (Holmgren, McCarthy) than you are with a coach that can't control him (Sherman).
      Look, Chilli says next to nothing at his press conferences and what he does say half of it you can't believe. He is like Andy Reid and Belichek they just say the bare minimum and would rather be punched in the face than talk to the media. There was a couple times things looked rather tense between Chilli and Bret but no matter what Chilli isnt going to talk about it so we will never know how tough he is being or if he is just letting Bret do what he wants. I doubt it is as cordial as it seems.

      Anyone who seriously even jokes that Bret is the problem here needs to just go away.

      It amazes me though that with as bad as the D has played on both Sunday Night games (and the D was bad the whole game against Carolina the Panthers just shot themselves in the foot a lot) that there is no criticism of Leslie Frazier. The guy gets all the praise in the world when the D plays great but when they look like the Gophers D no one dares rip him. It is weird.

        I agree. I mean, who lets Matt Moore throw a touchdown pass on 3rd and 26. It looks to my untrained eye that Frazier occasionally falls in love with the notion he has the best front 4 in football and can be a little late to recognize the need to bring some pressure from other places, especially against someone as inexperienced as Moore.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Lord Favre will bring end up derailing the Vikings season just like he did in New York and even last year's Green Bay season. The guy just has to be in control. McCarthy got tough on him so he wanted out. Same thing will play out in Minnehaha the next two weeks, and somewhere Trader Ted will be chuckling to himself.

                Will this chuckling occur before or after the Packers season has ended in the first week of the playoffs while the Vikings are on bye?

                    I wouldn't count on the Vikings getting a bye yet with the Eagles breathing down their neck, and Lord Favre's propensity to play in December and January with both hands around his neck (or his head coach's neck for that matter).

                      Maybe that would be for the better, and if the Vikes play the Packers in the first round then BrettFarve can tune up his game against that vaunted Packers defense, that Big Ben struggled mightily against last weekend.

                        I can only hope the Chili and the Gang play the Packers in the first round of the playoffs, or even at any point in the playoffs. The Packers are more a dome team than the championshipless team to the west.

                            By my count the Packers are 13-10 (6-2 against the Lions) in domes since 2002. Stellar. They are 2-1 this year with wins against the Lions and Rams. Impressive.

                              By that I mean the Vikings are more apt to have a power rushing team with Peterson. Although, Peterson has been up and down this year thanks to Old Man River taking forever handing the ball off - the holes just aren't there at times. The Packers have a lot of speed on offense and will likely struggle on a poor field.

                                ...nothing logical. The Packers already lost to the Vikings on grass and turf.

                                Seriously, is there a craigslist listing out there with the USCHO sign-up page linked saying, "Stupid people sign up here", because there's a handful have popped up the past few days.
