Brad Childress: Chilly's Chile Reception

Brad Childress: Chilly's Chile Reception

Brad Childress is the head football coach of the Minnesota Vikings and recently, I had a chance to catch up with him and ask him a few questions. To keep my identity a secret, I disguised myself as The O-Range Blob of Light. As for anyone who has been following The Great Pumpkin Letters, you know The O-Range Blob of Light is also known as Chief Crazy Captain Christo. This is a conversation from October 30th. In it's entirety , here it is:
O-Range Blob of Light: " Chilly,winds don't blow football games, people do"
Chilly: " How right you are sir! And your name is? I see you don't have a press pass and I am going up to the podium to address the press in five minutes so whatever you have to say, make it like a center and make it snappy."
O-Range Blob of Light:" I would like to address your team and your coaches and your players soon after the Super Bowl 44. Tell the owner Zygi Wilf that I have some great news for everyone and that I will explain it all in February. OK Chilly. Er ah Mr. Brad Childress. In the meantime, good luck before you go to Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. I am rooting for you and every Viking whoever wore the Purple and Gold. I am very happy for you Mr. C. Happy Days and Chilly Nights!"
Chilly: " Hey thanks! By the way, who are you again? The bright orange light is blinding me and I can't make heads or tails of you"
But the O-Range Blob of Light was gone and Brad Childress had one minute before hitting the podium to address the reporters. Stay Tuned Minnesota! Chief Crazy Captain Christo is making his way through your town!
