Well, give Chilly his props. He did everything, save bedding Brett Favre, to get him to sign. And, he was honest and steadfast in his belief that Favre, when healthy, is still a Top-5 NFL talent at quarterback, and it appears Chilly couldn't have been more correct.
To date, Brett's won three games for Minnesota: San Fran, Green Bay and Baltimore. And, in the process, he's now made Chilly a very wealthy man.
So, for all the schlubs that vilified Chilly for courting Brett, including a personal pick-up from the airport, it appears the laugh is on ya'll because Chilly - with one BOLD move - has made himself an extra 5-10 million dollars. Not bad for a coach that was probably going to be fired at the end of this season anyhow.
The problem is, once Brett retires, Chilly is toast. He'll need to keep Brett upright and get him to play another 2 or 3 years.
Wouldn't it be wild if, after Chilly extends, that Favre does as well? That would absolutely KILL guys like Mike Florio. LOL
