CHILDRESS TELLS GEORGE TO CHILL OUT
On Monday, former NFL quarterback Jeff George made it known that he'd like to play for the Vikings. On Wednesday, coach Brad Childress responded.
"Probably maybe go to a fantasy camp or something like that," Childress said. :laugh2:
Asked whether George is on the downside of his playing career, Childress said, "Downside would probably be -- I think -- kind." :laugh2:
Ouch. We didn't know an NFL coach could be so snarky.
George was taken aback by the remarks.
"It kind of catches me off guard," George said, according to Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I don't know how to comment on that."
But then, of course, he did.
"With any team, not just Minnesota, that might need a quarterback, I would hope someone would overlook what happened 10 years ago, or whoever they got their information from, and just give me an opportunity. You don't have to sign me. But it won't hurt to bring me in and take a look."
We agree. George is 38. Vinny Testaverde is 43. George has far less wear and tear than most other quarterbacks his age, because he really hasn't played all that much. And he likely still has a rocket of an arm.
But even bringing George in for a look-see would be a tacit admission by Childress that his current quarterbacks suck. The fact that Childress is the only one who apparently can't see this means that, in due time, it will be kind to say that Childress is on the downside of his coaching career.
