Here’s a question. Can a coach give Weinke a playbook, and Weinke takes it, learns what he can and teaches it to that team’s draft pick? That’s not direct contact. However, you’d need to trust Weinke explicitly to not share playbooks between players on different teams.

I say good for him. There’s really only one reason to be doing that, and that is for the pride and satisfaction of seeing someone you helped go on and succeed.

Wow…I read about what Chris was doing with Christian Ponder and Webb on another sports site and was happy to see that he was getting the recognition for doing what he loves to do.

Amazing that the article was free from snide comments about his past record and void of cheap-shots…Such a refreshing read.

Sadly, it seems read like that on athletes that aren’t the sports media’s favorite is so far and few in between..

Great to see him still involved in the sport. At least he isn’t just sitting at some bar talking about the glory days.

Using the phrase “heavily-favored” in the same sentence with the word “Vikings” is usually a recipe for disaster.”

It’s usually followed by a clip of Gary Anderson missing a field goal and Dan Reeves doing “The Dirty Bird”.

People can talk junk about Weinke all they want but there’s a lot of ex-players out there that wish they could be doing what he’s doing.

(Cue the few people who say OMG!!!!1111!!1 HE SUCKEDASAPLAYERHECANTBEAGOODCOACH)

Now that that’s out of the ways, good for him. A lot of ex-players don’t like the idea of coaching because they know coaches spend more hours at their jobs for less play than the players do. Not all players love the game I am sure: just as with any other profession there are some who do it just for money. If a guy coaches though, he ain’t in it for the benjamins. I wish Weinke well.

Chris Weinke is out to single handedly destroy the game of football.
