Childress clarifies the Favre situation a bit

Childress clarified some things about the situation between Favre and the Vikings (finally) on KFAN radio this morning.

He said that neither he nor the Vikings organization ever put any kind of deadline on Favre joining the team.  He’s not sure where that news came from.

He also did NOT close the door on Favre becoming a Viking.  He said that Tarvaris and Sage continue to compete for the starting job at the present time, but the Vikings are still interested in seeing what Favre has left in his arm.  He commented that Favre started off very strong last year, but was held back by the injury.

When asked about how Favre and him would co-exist, since Favre likes to take control of the team and do things his way, he responded  “I think it’s more of, just like you talk about with a quarterback, can he manage a game?” Childress said. “I think it’s more about that. And then you letting him know your expectations and how we’re playing the game here and what we value here. Those are different virtually everywhere you go and every system you play in.”

After reading this interview, I actually feel like the situation has calmed down a ton.  Rumors were flying everywhere, and there were tons of contradictions.  It was hard to know what to believe.

Now more than ever I’m convinced that by mid-July Brett Favre will be a Minnesota Viking.
