How Vikings became NFL's most dysfunctional family

[Jimx29]

CHICAGO (AP) — After ripping coach Brad Childress behind his back all week, the Minnesota Vikings finally backed up their words with deeds.

They didn't exactly quit Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but their effort was far from a ringing endorsement of their embattled boss. They got beat physically all over the field, folded up in the second half and lost every phase of the game by the time it was over. Brett Favre, returning to Soldier Field on the heels of yet another signature comeback against Arizona only last week, fumbled once and was intercepted three times. And he was far from Minnesota's only problem.

Bernard Berrian was a late scratch (came after Chilly had submitted his active list) and defended his decision to rule himself out by saying that he has played hurt a lot. He didn't come out and say it but the implication was that he's not going to play hurt for Chilly no mo'. I wonder if he was also a little peeved that Theismann had publicly referred to him (without naming him) as gutless.
