EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota (AP)—The Minnesota Vikings fired Brad Childress on Monday, cutting ties with a head coach who had come under increasing fire from quarterback Brett Favre(notes) and other players after a terrible start to the season.

The Vikings fell to 3-7 after a 31-3 loss to rival Green Bay on Sunday, the final blow to Childress in his fifth season in charge of the team. It was his most-lopsided home defeat as head coach, dropping his overall record to 40-37.

Childress took over for the fired Mike Tice in 2006 after spending seven years with the Eagles, including four as the offensive coordinator. He was chosen by owner Zygi Wilf to instill discipline and demand better off-the-field behavior from a team that had been embarrassed by misbehaving players.

Thank god they let Brett Favre do his usual offseason thing.

It's really paying off for the vikings.

[shel311]

Wait wait wait...


While I'm Brett Favre bashing here, lol...Brett Favre was quoted as saying this week he was going to reevaluate his committment to quarterbacking this team???? And when asked if he'd consider retiring early, he didn't rule it out? LOLZ

Nice.

He's basically saying he's gonna decide if he wants to quit on these guys or not. Gotta love the old gunslinger.

The Packers are rejoicing at the GREAT decision they made to cut ties with him, no doubt.

dude, you can't fault the Vikes really... he did lead them to the NFC title game last year with an amazing year. Things just didn't pan out this year, whether it be his well has finally run dry, Rice injury, Moss dogging it, or Childress "losing" the team. Sometimes shit happens. And I am not a Favre lover, for each of his amazing plays there is an equally stupid turnover usually. As for the Packers, they haven't done shit without him. Maybe this year they will. Pre-injury for the Jets and last year for the Vikes, Favre was equal to Rodgers in every regard.

Tom Brady.

[shel311]

Wait Bernie, are you insinuating that the Packers didn't quite obviously make the right decision?


Seriously?

Rodgers would have likely been traded and the Packers would have a QB right now who may be quitting on his team if they didn't have a good record, lol.

or he could of retired the last couple years since the packers havent done anything. only reason he is still around is cause vikings had a good shot at winning, and like bernie said shit didnt pan out this year. no way should he quit but if he doesnt have it in him theres not much you can do.

It is most definetly not "quite obviously" the right decision. It may have been the right decision for all parties involved, since there was clearly an ego trip involved with both GB GM & Favre. But Rodgers would only be traded if the Packers decided "to" trade him. They could have paid him and kept him as a backup however they felt, like the Vikes did with Tavaris Jackson. I am just saying that 3 years down the road when Favre's career has run its course to come in and say the Packers made the right decision is not my style. Favre was that franchise for 15 years, GB has done shit without him, except lose a shootout to a .500 Arizona team in the playoffs last year. Favre pre-injury Jets was 8-3 with a decent stat line (And to prove how much of a dbag he is, he doesn't disclose his injury and follows up with a 9 INT, 1-4 December) and then returns healthy last season and leads Vikes to 13-3 record last season and NFC title game. (Unlike the Jets who have been to an AFC title game and now sport the best record in the league since Favre's departure. The Jets clearly made the right decision )

now sport the best record in the league since Favre's departure.

Come again?

One of the worst articles I have ever read and I have sent him four emails telling him so.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=A ... ckup112210

Now there’s an about-face. Last season at this time, Belichick thought so little of his defense in this situation, he wouldn’t put the game in its hands. This time he may not have had a choice, but he watched as the unit forced Manning’s third interception of the contest.

No, he had faith in his offense to pick up two yards and the math agreed.

For those with short memories, it was last year that Belichick chose the unconventional route of going on fourth-and-2 from his own 28-yard line in Indianapolis rather than punt. That set off a torrent of criticism aimed at Belichick, particularly from guys like former Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy, who said he would never dare go against the percentages like that.

The percentages - and this is a fucking fact - FAVORED the decision.

or the all-out hustle of Danny Woodhead(notes) and Wes Welker(notes), a pair of guys who seem like they might fit right on the field of one of those Electric Football games of the 1970s.

Yep, because white guys hustle and black guys have talent.

To this day, Belichick’s players won’t second-guess that call, but their automated response of, “That’s Coach’s call and we just have to execute what he calls” rings hollow. Any self-respecting football player will tell you he wants the game in his hands.

No, any self-respecting football player wants the offense on the field because they are the ones who score points. In fact, the whole fucking concept of defense is solely to get the ball back to the offense.

Then he goes on and on about Sanders' interception and talks about all of this shit EXCEPT the fact that the rookie DE Cunningham forced Manning to throw flat-footed, the #1 reason for the INT. I really need to start my own football website with a select group of writers.

[Bernie32]

now sport the best record in the league since Favre's departure.

Come again?

8-2 with head-to-head tie-breaker over Pats
