I loved this pickup from the getgo.
I love it even more now that Chilli has shown he has a pair... and will not be bullied by God Belichick :P


Fuck Billy B!

I can't believe a HC of his caliber had enough balls to call and ask us to leave his guy alone.
He must have really wanted the guy.

Again, a very intersting move by the Vikes front office.
Shows they are working together.
I can just hear the conversations now.

;D

Scott:
Hey Jimmie Johnson (TE coach).
I think we found a guy that can fit the scheme. I think the Pats are gonna try to sneak one of thier young guys with potential onto the Practice squad.

Jimmie:
You have any tape on him that I can break down?

Scott:
Some, but I will have to get some more.
When I do that the Pats will find out we are looking at him.

Jimmie:
Go ahead.
Get the tape.

Jimmie approaches Bevell.

Jiimmie: Hey I want to go to the Chiller and show him a guy the scouts found.

Bevell: Lets get the staff together and look at what ya got.

They all decide to go to the HC with thier stuff.

Bevel:
Hey coach.
We found a TE with potential we would like to get once he gets put out on the waiver wire.

Chiller: Lets see what you have. (Jimmie breaks down tape with coaching staff, O-coord, WR Coach, QB Coach, HC)

All decide that he is a good fit.
Of course our CAP guru has us sitting pretty so we can afford to sign him.

At this point Belichick gets wind that the Vikes are indeed officially interested.
He tries to persuade the Chiller to hold off.

Probably not verbatum but this is how a coaching staff works by the way.
The Chiller (I know it hard for some of you to grasp this concept) isn't up there making all these decisions on his own.

Classic........... ;D

Thanks Proph.
This might be my favorite read in months.
Floop Billy and the Patriots.
I work with alot of NFL Teams and this is a perfect illustration of how the Patriots conduct business.
KUDOS Chilly!

Hopefully Belicheck doesn't act out on his threat to grab one of our practice guys. Wouldn't doubt it though. Probably a O-lineman.

Son of Aaah...Right back at us.
Thigpen signs with KC!
D'oh!!
Any bets on one of our current backup QBs not making the team next year?

??? He already did. He snatched Herron off of waivers....

Ultimately, Belichick followed through on his alleged threat: The Patriots claimed linebacker David Herron, who had signed with the Vikings as a rookie free agent and was among 22 players cut Saturday.

1) This should be in the Mills thread

2) This should at least be in the Vikings Fan forum

well glas thats wasn't me my forked tongue of "colorful" langueage would have been heard. man Go Childress stand up to Belicheck trying to be a bully. Awesome

From PFT:
CHILDRESS ASKING FOR TROUBLE

Regardless of his motivation for sharing with the media a conversation that he claims to have had with Pats coach Bill Belichick regarding maneuverings at the bottom of their respective rosters, the early reaction from league insiders regarding the harsh comments from Vikings coach Brad Childress regarding Belichick is that Childress made an enormous blunder.

Said one source:
"Why, in God's name, is Brad Childress talking about Bill Belichick to the press?
Is [Childress] a complete and senseless moron?
He basically insults one of the most powerful coaches in the league by calling him out as dishonest.
He's an idiot coach."

We tend to agree.
As a reader astutely observed, the coaching industry at the NFL level is fueled by relationships.
When a coach is fired and begins to look for other work, he relies on those relationships.
So why would any head coach gratuitously alienate a current head coach who has plenty of friends?

Indeed, if Childress is accurate in his belief that Belichick was trying to leverage the Vikings into not claiming tight end Garrett Mills on waivers, who's to say that Belichick won't eventually try to leverage some other team into not giving a job to Childress when/if/when he's fired by the Vikings?
