Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:04:04 -0700

Chris Mortensen, of ESPN, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress explained Sunday, July 27, the nature of the conversation he had with Green Bay Packers retired QB Brett Favre. "I've always felt like he could play. I told him so right after the game last year when they beat us 35-0. I wish he would have retired. I told him that to his face," Childress said. "He's still got some zip on it. In my mind it's no different than me talking to Donovan McNabb as he's (reporting) to training camp or talking to Brian Westbrook. I communicate with people in this league. You don't leave past relationships."
