Moss to the Titans, and I have a feeling that Childress will be headed to the unemployment line soon.
He lobbied (read begged) sooo hard to get Favre back, and now that prima donna is calling his own plays and basically showing complete disrespect for his head coach.
This is what happens when a team is stacked with d-bags. Total implosion. I love it.

GO BEARS!
The reason the Vikings were so successful last yea is because Favre started calling his own plays. Childress has an eye for talent. There is no question about that.
But he is an offensive idiot when it comes to play calling. As I've been saying here for years now. "There is a reason why he wasnt allowed to call plays when he was the offensive coordinator with the Eagles" Childress has definitely been calling more of his own plays this year.
This year The Vikes are missing Taylor as someone mentioned.Peterson, as good as he is with the ball, is still not great at pass protection, And picking up the blitz specifically. that is why your seeing more of Toby Gearhart on third down lately.
And Rice is out. With him the deep threat. Berrian as I've been telling my son since we've gotten him. Seems more interested in trying to draw PI penalties instead of catching the ball. so defenses dont take him too seriously.
Enter Moss. With Moss the deep threat had returned. I've been able to see all but one Vikes game this year. Since Moss's arrival the Vikes offense has been more productive and you could see improvement week by week even in the losses. And BTW It was the blown call by the official on Visanthe Shiancoe's Touchdown catch that cost the Vikings a Win at Green bay. Neither,Childress , Favre, Nor the Vikings D lost that game for the Vikings. The Replay officials lost that game for the Vikings on one of the worst blown calls I've ever seen.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/25/league-admits-to-two-touchdown-errors-in-sunday-night-game/ Tis my understanding that the officials got reamed out by the league for that call and the equally horrid call that was blown that week in the Steelers/Dolphins game
But enough on that. the Vikes offense was showing definite signs of improvement. Moss wasnt released because of taking plays off. everyone knew what they were getting with Moss. But he presented a danger that defences had to account for.That why he was brought in.
But because he is an immature arse.
Aside from being critical of Childress during a press conference which he was probably right in his opinion. But in the name of being a team player shoulda kept his mouth shut. He also acted like a complete jerk the previous Friday when he verbally abused caterers
"Moss screamed at the co-owner of Tinucci's Restaurant and Catering in Woodbury and Newport in the locker room after practice because he apparently didn't like the way the buffet looked.
"[Moss] came walking up," Gus Tinucci said. "There were a couple of guys that were in line. I was carving some meat for a guy and all of a sudden I heard all this screaming and I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' I knew who it was immediately. I looked up and there he was."
Tinucci said Moss used two profane words in a sentence where the ex-Vikings receiver said he wouldn't feed the food to his dog."I was in shock," Tinucci said. "I couldn't believe it. It was quiet in there."
The Vikings cater lunch for their players in the locker room every Friday after practice. Tinucci said his family's restaurant has catered for the Vikings a handful of times in recent years in part because they became friends with former center Matt Birk.
Tinucci said his buffet included ribs, chicken, a round of beef carving station, pasta, vegetables and dessert.
"It looked good, like we always do," he said. "I don't know if he was starving for attention or what. But nobody laughed, I can guarantee you that."
Tinucci said he heard one player tell Moss to shut up. He wasn't sure which player. A veteran player sent the Star Tribune a text message Tuesday that described Moss' outburst as "bad." Tinucci said two Vikings employees approached him afterward and apologized."[/b]
http://www.prosportsdaily.com/comments/moss-verbally-abused-caterers--428511.htmlSeems some people just never grow up.
What the Vikings need to do is either a Steinbrenner move and either promote childress to the front office (Like I said. he can evaluate talent) Or fire him completely.
He is inept as an NFL head coach. And I've been saying so here on the forums for years
