Many Vikings fans direct their discontent toward now-fired coach Brad "Chilly" Childress. But for Favre fans, being totally mad at Childress may be somewhat hypocritical since Childress is ultimately the reason Favre came to Minnesota both purposefully and incidentally. Childress purposefully lobbied for Brett to come to Minnesota, and he also incidentally hired Favre's buddy & former QB coach Darrelle Bevell as offensive coordinator in 2006, who subsequently in 2009 attracted Brett to Minnesota.
But obviously there are reasons to be mad at Childress, not the least of which is the Randy Moss firing.
As for Brett, this may be his worst nightmare of a year ever, it being marred with injuries and scandal. The injuries make him look physically weak on the field, and the scandal with the Jets employee sort of makes him seem morally weak.
In all honesty, however, the Jets are also culpable for needlessly exposing the players to scantily-clad women.
On Women
As to where women belong in football, they have traditionally been relegated to cheerleader. Yet, increasingly, they can be seen serving as sideline & lockerroom reporters. They fail at both because:
1. They don't have the game experience to be able to ask relevant questions (such as would former players Tony Siragusa or Eric Dickerson).
2. Players don't like women looking at them when they're naked in the locker room. That idiot NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should have stood up for Clinton Portis when he took flak for complaining of a Feminine lockerroom presence.
3. Nothing would be lost by not having female reporters from an affirmative action standpoint because, on the net, cute female reporters dominate broadcasting. Nothing would be lost from an entertainment standpoint because nobody watches football to see attracive female reporters but rather to see big hits, great runs, prolific catches, and victory for a favorite team.
