It has also been reported that when questioned why he chose such an outfit, he replied, "Because it makes me feel pretty."

Jokes aside, he was just trying to keep his players loose. I think it's cool he has a sense of humor.

I guess he was sick of his previous costume of being the guy from the awesome 80's show Simon & Simon and thats why he grew the beard this year.

When you're 6-1 Brad Childress you can do this for laughs.

When you're 0-6 Jeff Fisher, you do this so no one will recognize you.

someone told him it was a vikings cruise, he was dressing up to get Farves attention!

What he and Favre do is their own business. I do agree, however, that they should have taken a private charter. Just the two of them.

And still they charge for luggage, and all you get is those crappy little bags of dried-out peanuts?

Brad, you should leave the wig on --> ultimate toupee!! [sp?]

Brett should be out wearing his costume: Benedict Arnold with the correct spelling on the back "Farve".
