Brad Childress Demands Satisfaction

Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune compares Vikings coach Brad Childress to Les Steckel. Craig could have just punched Childress's mother in the mouth because it wouldn't have been any more insulting.

For those who don't know, Steckel was the man behind the offensive juggernaut that was the 2000 Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. You remember, the offense that scored three points against the Eagles in the 2000 wildcard game and had 101 yards of production after three quarters. The same offense that made Mike Shula look like his father by comparison. In case you still don't remember, here's a summary: First down, run for two yards. Second down, run for one yard. Third down, incomplete pass. Punt. You can apply that formula to about 75% of the series from that year.

Seriously, at another point in history, Craig's comment would be reason enough to duel at ten paces at dawn. Craig, don't be surprised if you get slapped in the face with a dueling glove here in the near future.
