No change expected at quarterback for Vikings
With head coach Brad Childress finally out of the picture in Minnesota, there was some sentiment around the league for quarterback Brett Favre to step down from his starting role in favor of backup Tavaris Jackson, in an effort to see what the Vikings will have next season when Favre finally retires.

The past month or so has been forgettable for the Vikings, as they’ve struggled immensely on the field to find the magic they had last year in their run to the NFC Championship. That said, it’s been even worse period of time for their quarterback Brett Favre, as he’s not only had to deal with [...]

With an NFL record 293 consecutive games played in and 291 consecutive games started under his belt, dating back to 1992, Brett Favre has shown himself to be the NFL’s version of the “Iron Horse”, but after missing practice once again yesterday, that streak is close to coming to an end. Citing a league source, [...]

Thursday, October 28, 2010
Coming off a tremendous season in which he put up career numbers across the board, Brett Favre and the Vikings coaching staff had every reason to believe that this year would bring more of the same.

Coming off a disappointing four point loss in Green Bay tonight, Vikings head coach Brad Childress took the opportunity to vent his disgust with the officials, calling the contest the “worst officiated game” he’s ever seen. His comments will almost certainly draw a significant fine from the league, as he called out multiple officials by [...]

Sunday, September 26, 2010
In life and in the NFL, hindsight is always 20/20, and it’s a rare occasion where we’re able to look back on a decision without second guessing. Just three weeks into the 2010 campaign, Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is doing just that, as he’s indicated to sources close to him that he would not come [...]

Friday, September 24, 2010
Coming into the 2010 campaign, Minnesota had plenty of reasons to believe that a Super Bowl trip was in the cards this season, especially after they were able to convince quarterback Brett Favre to come back for one final run to glory. But after an 0-2 start to their season, the Vikings and their fans [...]

Thursday, August 19, 2010
After leading his team to an excellent regular season record and into the NFC Championship, the doubters in Minnesota head coach Brad Childress grew relatively quiet.

Tues @ 10:53 pm CST – Apparently Minnesota is doing just what many (including myself) thought they would in response to Favre’s indecision towards a return this fall.

Tues @ 11:23 am – As you might expect, the situation with Favre is far from over, as the Vikings’ ownership and front office have been working overtime this morning to convince him to stick around for another season. Not sure if it’s going to work or not, but the prospect of earning an extra [...]

Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Over the past three weeks, it’s become fairly obvious that the relationship between Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre and head coach Brad Childress has started to deteriorate, seemingly reaching a low point at the end of last Sunday’s game in Carolina when Childress lashed out verbally at Favre in the locker room.
