Brett Favre

My theory ...
This has been a setup for weeks. Favre decided last month he would play for the Vikings and the deal got done. The coach and owner were in on it.
Favre despises camp and did not want to live "with the guys" even for a few weeks. I suspect that might have been a deal breaker for him, but Childress couldn't admit to such an obvious dose of star treatment.
Childress figured that even without the camp time Favre would be better than what he had on the roster.
By pretending last month that he had decided otherwise, Favre put an end to 90 percent of the media madness which gave him some quiet time in Hattiesberg before his astonishing turnaround.
Comments in recent days by some of the Viking players means that someone was leaking the word or that it was obvious internally that something was about to happen.
I don't believe for a second that Brett just suddenly decided he wanted to play.
That's manure.
