Bevell Tampering?
ProFootballTalk has fulfilled their (self-imposed) duty to stir the pot by accusing Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell of tampering in the Brett Favre matter.
Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre talks from time to time with former Packers quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell, who currently serves as the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings.
And there is talk of conversations between Bevell and Favre regarding the possibility of Favre playing for the Vikings. We presently don’t know whether the discussions occurred recently, or whether they occurred earlier in the offseason. (We also don’t know conclusively whether they occurred at all.)
If accurate, Bevell’s conduct constitutes a violation of the tampering rules, even if he didn’t realize it and even if he was acting without the knowledge or approval of coach Brad Childress.
Again, we’re not saying that talks occurred. But there are rumors that they in fact did.
And there’s also a rumor that Mike Florio once broke into the zoo and had sex with one of the monkeys. He was drunk and mistook the monkey for his boyfriend…which was a great insult to the monkey.
My point being that it’s easy to say there’s a rumor of this guy doing this or that. Whatever. If the league wants to investigate Bevell for tampering, let them. I’m not even sure how tight Bevell and Favre really are. Some people say Favre hates Bevell’s guts. I wish people would stop straining for Vikings-Favre connections…I know it’s juicy and all but it’s getting old.
