Who Runs Minnesota?


Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Brett Farve and Head Coach Brad Childress talked about a riff between them this week. Every thing seemed great when Brett Farve was slanging the ball all over the field to a 10-1 record and everybody was talking about him being the Most Valuable Player, but like always when things go wrong people start to point the finger.
The Finger pointing almost started after the loss to Pittsburgh or the debacle in Arizona, but came more visible when Brad Childress tried to take Brett Farve out of a 7-6 game versus the Carolina Panthers. Brett Farve refused to come out the game and after a heated argument on the sideline everything blew up in the Vikings' face.
Now every thing is being blown out of proportion and everybody wants to know who's going to run this town tonight and for the rest of the season. When it comes down to it Brad Childress should run the team, but when Brad allowed Brett Farve to keep the Vikings' organization on the edge about returning or not and missed all of training camp. Not to mention that Brad Childress also left practice to go pick Farve up from the airport makes me think that Brett Farve runs the team.
Brett Farve also showed that he runs the team by showing his Willie Beaman side by changing the plays that coach Childress and Adrian Peterson loves to a play that Farve thinks will show off his gun slinging abilities. Then the refusal to come out of the game was the icing on the cake.
Any athlete knows when your head coach asks you to come out of a game you come out of the game no ifs, ands or buts. Things aren't going to get better anytime soon because the problem is already there and it will continue to get scrutinized. Both Brett Farve and Brad Childress put on their game faces and announced that there is no problem and everything is resolved, but that remains to be seen. Will we see Brett Farve hand the ball off more as the season ends or will he continue to throw more passes then he did in the beginning of the season. That's why this question still remains, who runs Minnesota?
