Battle: Run Versus Pass

As many of you could tell, once I learned that Brett Favre has been changing run plays to pass plays at the line of scrimmage I sided with (I can’t believe I am admitting this) Brad Childress in the whole “Brad vs. Brett” thing that is going on. The reason for my reaction, and probably [...]

Merry Christmas!

Since many of you will be doing things with family and friends over the next few days instead of visiting Vikings Gab, I just wanted to wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas. Enjoy yourselves!

Links Of The Week

Check out some of our friends: Is this possibly the worst 11-3 team ever? Is our offensive line too huge? There is still reason to celebrate. Vikings.com is struggling to find bright spots to discuss, but who can blame them for praising Reynaud? Steve Hutchinson is the man for oh so many reasons. Are the [...]

Report: Brad Childress Has At Least One Emotion

Anger. I hear that somewhere deep down, behind that fake low gravelly voice, Brad Childress feels emotions from time to time. On Sunday, at half time, his emotion was that of anger. Sean Jensen of the Pioneer Press reports that Favre held his calm long enough to hand out hats and t-shirts to his players, [...]

Sudden Question Marks In The Starting Lineup

It is amazing what a loss can do to the morale of a fan base.  Childress mentioned in his presser on Monday that the mood in the locker room was more that of a 3-11 team rather than an 11-3 team.  Judging from how I feel, and from reading comments on this site and others, [...]

Skipping Rocks On A Stream Of Consciousness

So Brad Childress addressed the Brett Favre issue today terms that can be described most easily as… ummm… well… they’re kind of… I don’t know.  ESPN transcribed the whole presser: Why were you considering taking Favre out of the game? Brad Childress: It was more of a stream of consciousness, where he comes of the [...]

Another Take On The Favre Fiasco

Here is another unique take on the whole Brett Favre Fiasco.  This one comes from Mike Florio at PFT: 1.  Chilly isn’t in charge, after all. Well, when you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, sometimes the devil puts his pitchfork right up your ass. Vikings coach Brad Childress is walking funny this [...]

My Take On The Favre Fiasco

As mentioned in the previous post, Brad Childress was unsuccessful in benching Brett Favre in the third quarter when the Vikings had a one point lead against the Panthers. Favre was rather upset during his post-game presser. “Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it,” Favre said. “We were up 7-6 [...]

Favre Refuses To Be Benched?

Here’s an interesting note. During Brett Favre’s press conference, he made a rather unhappy reference to Coach Childress trying to pull him during the third quarter. Childress had successfully pulled Bryant McKinnie but Favre refused to come off the field. Favre’s unhappiness with Coach Childress will doubtless be a big topic of conversation, and possible [...]

Your NFC North Champs… Ta Dah!

First off, thanks to everyone that came by for the live chat Sunday Night.  We keep breaking personal records here at the Gab, and the live chat was no exception.  Enough people showed up that I was too busy managing screen names and comments and stuff that I was barely even able to comment.  That [...]
