As it turns out, Chilly isn’t such a chump after all.
Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that, both before and after the “heated discussion” that Vikings coach Brad Childress claims wasn’t a “heated discussion,” Childress targeted some heated words at members of his team.
Per Jensen, the offense got it at halftime, and Favre himself was the target after the game, presumably after Favre aired the dirty laundry to the media.
At the half, Childress reportedly cursed at the team and said it’s “laughable” that the Vikings consider themselves a Super Bowl team.
Though a kinder, gentler Chilly emerged on Monday, Jensen writes that “all is not well between Brad and Brett, and the primary difference centers on the quarterback’s penchant to check out of runs and into passes.”
And so, as several of you have suggested in the comments, it sounds like there’s finally a schism in Minnesota. Favre might not have known what the term meant in August, but we’ve got a feeling that he knows it now.
