Childress attempted to pull Favre

[Mr. Scot]

Haven't seen it discussed here, but per a few different media outlets Childress tried to pull Favre out of the game while the score was still 7-6. The reason? He was afraid Favre would be hurt if he kept getting hit like he was. Favre balked, and thus the argument ensued.

Someone will have to explain to me why you pull your starting QB with only a one point lead in a game that has playoff implications.

Cause Chilly Pepper is an idiot? Eagles fans and Vikes fans know this.

What's funny is he didn't have the power to do it, for all intents and purposes Favre calls HIS shots, not vice versa.

This! Hilarious but true!

LOL Minnesota wanted Favre...and they got him!

[Sword]

sounds like he didn't want Peppers to break his hip or rupture his spleen..

Childress is an idiot. Remember lots of Viking fans wanted him to be fired early last season.

I hadn't heard.

Childress previously tried twice to bench Favre

On the prior two occasions, Favre didn't say anything about it to he media. This time, however, he popped off -- and that apparently caused Chilly to blow a gasket, according to Tom Powers of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Powers believes that he was in the vicinity of the visiting coach's office last night when Childress learned about Favre's comments -- and that Childress emerged from the office "like a wild man" and "went ballistic."

Yea, and Childress already got his big contract extension. He is fine.
