You know the more I think about it the more it fits. Listening to him try and explain some things that they did is not too far off from Cliff's explanations to Woody.

I don't think that Childress is stupid. His problem is that he is stubborn. He's prided himself on his stubbornness, and he thinks that that is a very good quality. It's a very bad quality. He was too committed to the Tavaris Jackson experiment. He was too stubborn to admit it wasn't working out. Then Favre is thrust upon him, and Childress insists that the Vikings offense plays his way. The Vikings do much better when Favre is allowed to play.
The Vikings convince Favre to come back this year. The offense consists of dinking around, he won't let Farve attack down field. Then the Vikings trade for Moss. So what do you do if you get Moss? Do you attack, attack, attack down the field? No, more Chillyball, dinking around. Then he cuts him because he didn't like something he said. When you trade for Moss, you don't get a choir boy.
Now the Vikings are out a third round pick for nothing. Someone will sign Moss without giving up anything. Childress is Gone, Gone, Gone. The Vikings need a coach who isn't stubborn, who would rather change and win than keep things his way.
At least if the Vikings had Brewster they'd have a coach that could *talk* a good game.
Childress is the Cliff Clavin of coaches.
I use to work with a guy in walmart TLE, in our work uniforms and his mustache, he sounded and looked, and well, acted a lot like him. I would explain that it was like working with john ratzenburger(SP), the guy from cheers. Anyways, I think it was the vikings who sold out to get Farve put Chilly in this position. He needed to play him, but he turned out to still be as good of an option this year. Hopefully the viks get rid of both Chilly and Favre and start over fresh with a good coach and no DB ( DRAMA BRET).

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things.
Chilly the village idiot apparently told the team Moss was being waived without clearing it with the front office or owners. Apparently Harvin and other players are livid. It wouldn't surprise if Favre,Peterson,Harvin and others go to the owners and say Chilly has lost the team and has to go. If only we could be so lucky !
Sports media in Twin Cities have to love this organization. No matter how bad they are playing they have something going on. Otherwise they would be talking about T-Wolves or Wild (which are on the down slide up there).
While Chilly, doesn't talk like Brewster so he doesn't take Singletary's role, he may have just guaranteed his done with the Vikes.
