Default OK, PFT is back on my good side with this (Childress)

Childress ha ha.

Quote:
CHILDRESS ASKING FOR TROUBLE

Regardless of his motivation for sharing with the media a conversation that he claims to have had with Pats coach Bill Belichick regarding maneuverings at the bottom of their respective rosters, the early reaction from league insiders regarding the harsh comments from Vikings coach Brad Childress regarding Belichick is that Childress made an enormous blunder.

Said one source: "Why, in God's name, is Brad Childress talking about Bill Belichick to the press? Is [Childress] a complete and senseless moron? He basically insults one of the most powerful coaches in the league by calling him out as dishonest. He's an idiot coach."

We tend to agree. As a reader astutely observed, the coaching industry at the NFL level is fueled by relationships. When a coach is fired and begins to look for other work, he relies on those relationships. So why would any head coach gratuitously alienate a current head coach who has plenty of friends?

Indeed, if Childress is accurate in his belief that Belichick was trying to leverage the Vikings into not claiming tight end Garrett Mills on waivers, who's to say that Belichick won't eventually try to leverage some other team into not giving a job to Childress when/if/when he's fired by the Vikings?

Just posted this under the Revenge thread...interesting take on this situation...OTOH, can anyone imagine BB doing the same thing, that is what makes this org great and Minnesota mediocre.

This seemed to cross the line enough to start a thread to ensure people who are tired of the other one see it - it's always a tough call.

But I agree with them, I'd be retreating if I were Childress and saying I misspoke a little.

I posted yesterday that Childress going to the press with this was unprofessional. What was his point in doing so?

They could have also quoted me, but having PFT quote somebody saying he's an idiot is worth a thread IMO.

It's not like we have 20or 30 fascinating threads at a time.
