Next step: an interview in which both say it's much ado about nothing.

Later on, I caught up with Childress as he returned from the shower and was walking into the visiting coach's office. It was just me, Childress and his towel. Standing in the doorway, I basically asked for a comment with regards to Favre announcing that he refused to come out of the game. Before Childress could answer, Bob Hagan, the team's director of public relations, pushed past me and slammed the door.

A couple of minutes later, a previously docile Childress stormed out of the office like a wild man, still clutching the towel around his waist. He made a sharp turn into the assistant coaches' office and went ballistic. I don't know who was in there or what he said. But by the decibel level, it was clear he was furious...

What happened? One guess is that Childress was unaware of Favre's comments and, when informed, went ballistic.

Favre got it all wrong. Chilly pulling him from the game was just a stream of consciousness.

I thought it was the latter - he was trying to protect Favre.

It was the latter, but I also think a more mobile QB might have changed things abit as well. Favre was not the problem.

Sharpe, Chilly has already made changes where a player is failing. Pro Bowl McKinnie sucked last night and was benched. AP fumbling suddenly does not get as many of the carries in "critical" situations, more go to Taylor. Favre has no history with MN, the fans, players that requires him to stay in no matter what.(from Chilly's perspective) They want to win, period. You do what you have to. While winning no longer helps Chilly keep his job, it does help with trying to get a new stadium.

I also agree with you Bobble.

Yeah, Chilly made other changes with other players. How do you explain that when he tried to implement the same change at QB it didn't happen?

Favre has no history in MN, so what? Clearly he has enough of "something" to overrule his coach's decisions.

You justify their actions because you want to believe in your guys. As Packer fans, we know where you are right now, we've been there. The sooner you snap out of it and see it for what it is, the better.

Does anyone else think that Favre might fire Chilly mid season?

Nah, Chilly probably has embarrassing pictures of Favre he could release if Favre fires him.

HILARIOUS

Childress lashed out at his offense at halftime, after the unit had mustered just 66 net yards and struggled to run or pass the ball.

He cursed, and he called it "laughable" that they consider themselves a Super Bowl team.

One player described the tirade as "entertaining." Another likened it to a parent chastising a teenager.

The offense opened the second half with another three-and-out series, and Favre apparently pushed his coach over the edge on the next series.

According to a member of the team, Favre checked out of a run and into a pass, then was sacked for a 5-yard loss by Panthers cornerback Dante Wesley.

The Vikings punted the ball away for the fifth time in the game on the next play.

NBC cameras showed the exchange, with Childress placing his right hand on Favre's left biceps. But Favre pulled his arm away after Childress said something to him.

"We didn't have time - I didn't have time to sit there and say why or what. My response was, 'We've got to win this ballgame, and I want to stay in and do whatever I can.'

"Now, unfortunately, I didn't do that, but that was my intention."

Apparently that wasn't the first time he's infuriated Childress with an audible.

the plot thickens..

Childress previously tried twice to bench Favre twice

As it turns out, last night's failed effort by coach Brad Childress to bench quarterback Brett Favre wasn't the first attempt to yank Favre off the field.

OK, Florio.

Twice tried twice is FOUR times. Do some editing on that rag ass site of yours, willya?

If we were in charge of Packers counter-propaganda, I would run with the four times!

I don't remember Chilly chauffering any of those players around town

Or tenderly licking their nether regions.

Is there a schism now?



TO, Barry Bonds, Brett Favre. Great players, but all head cases in one way or another. Cancer of the team. You don't get rid of Favre because of the player that he is, you get rid of Favre because of the person that he is. No humility.

[Freak Out]

Wow. Sounds like it's gag order time in Minnesota.

Favre consistently shows his character flaws. I don't blame him for not wanting to come out of the game, but bringing it up during the post game presser is bush league. He basically held up Chilly's sack in his hands for all reporters to see. This story is awesome!

That's just Brett being Brett. What makes him popular is that he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He says what he feels at the time without a PR guy muzzling him. With Brett, you get real deal, no BS. Now, it may not be helpful to a coach or his team, but it is refreshing not to see some bland crappy spin after a game("We'll get that fixed").
And he was right that pulling him in that spot was asinine! But thats Chilly.

This is what I used to think, but with Brett you get BS also.

I don't know, was it asinine? They ended up getting stomped after that point. Maybe the more mobile QB would have been a good choice.
