Brad Childress is 0-for-2 on attempts to bench Brett Favre
Quote:In the third quarter of Sunday night's game between Minnesota and Carolina, Brett Favre(notes) got into a "heated discussion" (Favre's words) with Vikings head coach Brad Childress. The subject of the discussion was Childress' attempt to bench his quarterback.
After briefly considering the recommendation, Favre denied the request. These were his postgame comments:
"There was a little heated discussion, I guess you would call it. We were up 7-6 at the time and it's no secret I was getting hit a little bit." ââ¬Â¦ "I think everyone in the building was like, 'They're not moving the ball, they're not getting points.' And so Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game. You know, we were up 7-6. Yeah, it's not 70-6, but we're up 7-6. I said, 'I'm staying in the game. I'm playing.'" ââ¬Â¦ "We talked it out."
