Now that's interesting... Kind of makes you wonder if he and Shanahan were smoking from the same pipe.
The entire Randy Moss saga blew up in Brad Childress' face. Childress spoke Wednesday, two days after deciding to cut Moss less than a month into his second stint in Minnesota. He declined to answer repeated questions about the specifics of the decision, including the motives behind it and whom he consulted before placing the receiver on waivers.
"It was a poor decision," Childress said, "I've got to stand up and I have to make it right. When it's not right, you need to make it right."
"I have to answer for my decisions," Childress said. "In the long run with ownership, obviously, my name is affixed to wins and losses in this program here. So, it's not an attempt to deceive, it's just a matter of letting the people know that need to know. And when we came out with the statement, that's when all that had been done."
"I'm really at peace. The decisions I make are for the best welfare of the Minnesota Vikings. I can look myself in mirror every night when I go to bed and know that in my heart of hearts."
