Vikings coach Brad Childress said he's aware of the two reports suggesting some of his players still support Tarvaris Jackson as the starter over Brett Favre. "You know, I've seen the same reports that you've seen," Childress said. "Those are opinion," Childress said later. "It's hard to shoot holes in an opinion. Opinions are just that, it's an opinion. I certainly don't see anything that looks close to that." Earlier today, ProFootballTalk.com reported that a "faction" of players still prefer Jackson. Childress was asked if, after Favre signed, he addressed the close relationships some teammates may have had with Jackson. "I think all of them will say business issues," Childress said. "Business is business. And whether they like it or not, that's the way it is. As I told Tarvaris, I don't expect you to like it. And, as Tarvaris did - he's a highly competitive guy - he came back and played very well (two touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday). That benefits him. That benefits us. There's no downside to that. So I don't expect those guys to like it. But I expect them to deal with it and go forward. And by and large, that's exactly what's happening." Source: Pioneer Press
I would die laughing, if someone started over Favre. If it happens I can see him crying and retiring again, at least until someone else wants him to play.
i agree with mush and don'tknowme. of course they're going to deny any rift. however, it's my understanding that this information was being reported by Adam Schefter. Adam doesn't report 'opinion'. Adam is usually right and I'm sure some of the players don't like the situation.
