I came out here and [Childress] told me he had the other guys inside, Bevell said, referring to the three players. They were in the building. I came out to practice, Coach said they were inside.
That little bit of misdirection didnt get much attention, but it raised a lot of eyebrows inside the Vikings locker room.
Chilly cant even tell the truth about that, the player said. I mean, how ridiculous is that? Whats the big deal that he has to lie? Worse, he has to tell other guys to lie for him?
In short, even as Minnesotas best hope to win a Super Bowl this season was rejoining the team, Childress was losing more ground with his team in the battle for respect. One of the biggest issues playing out behind the scenes in Minnesota is that many players, particularly on offense, have no respect for Childress. Among those players is Favre, who officially returned to the team Wednesday. According to multiple team sources, Favres disdain for Childress is deep.
Brett thinks Childress has no clue about offense, a Vikings player said.
Childress presence, not Favres ankle injury, was one of the biggest reasons Favre was hesitating about playing again, sources said. In early July, Favre had indicated to one player that he was likely to play. However, after Childress visited Favre on July 19, Favres desire to return declined.
Brett just doesnt trust him, a player said.
Both Childress and Favre declined to address the issue Wednesday, but the problems run deeper than events from last season. It goes beyond the incident in the Dec. 20 game against Carolina when Favre refused to come out of an eventual loss when Childress wanted to pull him. Its beyond the Nov. 15 win against Detroit when Childress got angry with a play Favre changed in the second half.

I don't know what to believe on this....would Favre come back to a head coach that he really didn't like that much??
