$25m could have gone to getting a QB (or two) that would take a club that has all the right stuff on which to create a mini-dynasty to rival SF, Dallas, NE, or Pittsburg into the new decade.  Instead the Vikings are playing the NFL tune of hip-hop-hype-hype-hype -for-the-dollars and are likely to come away with a $12m loss 3-4 games into what could be, without Favre, an exciting team effort.  Instead, we get a drama queen who has the head coach, who himself apparently does not have the confidence in himself or his program to develop a good quarterback, kneeling at his feet so Brett can arrogantly play his hand, like the Void in the White House, at being the One to take us to the promised land.   

I think it is foolish and detrimental to a team effort.   Halfway into the season I will be wondering what real head coaches the club might be looking at for next year.
