The Genius of Brad Childress

Mea Culpa mea culpa.

In my last post I slated Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress for what I perceived as a boneheaded move to sign Brett Favre and his bending over backwards to accommodate the man from Louisiana, possibly at the expense of the rest of his team.

Well, four weeks into the season and the Vikings record is four wins and no losses. They sit atop the NFC North and their last two wins have been because of Favre. One tends to think that only Favre could have made the 32 yard pass to Greg Lewis with two seconds left to beat the 49ers and last week, on a night when Adrian Peterson was restricted to 55 yards rushing, Favre strafed his old Green Bay Packers for 271 yards and three touchdowns.

So far so good for Childress. That decision is just one of the many, many reasons why he is a head-coach and I am sitting at a lap top in the dead of night.
