Childress is obviously a players coach:

 

In short, even as Minnesota’s best hope to win a Super Bowl this season was rejoining the team, Childress was losing more ground with his team in the battle for respect. One of the biggest issues playing out behind the scenes in Minnesota is that many players, particularly on offense, have no respect for Childress. Among those players is Favre, who officially returned to the team Wednesday. According to multiple team sources, Favre’s disdain for Childress is deep.

 

“Brett thinks Childress has no clue about offense,” a Vikings player said.

 

Childress’ presence, not Favre’s ankle injury, was one of the biggest reasons Favre was hesitating about playing again, sources said. In early July, Favre had indicated to one player that he was likely to play. However, after Childress visited Favre on July 19, Favre’s desire to return declined.

I agree with you professor. It's getting old. If your a part of the team you should be there with them going through OTA's and training camp. Doesn't matter if he has been in the NFL for 20 years or not. Ray Lewis been playing since 1996 (I believe), Flozell Adams been playing for quite a bit of time also. Why is Favre different from any of these players that has been playing for a long period of time?

 

Why? Because's he's a top qb.

 

Players aren't treated the same. Shocker. Sparky didn't treat his players the same.

 

QBs win games in the NFL . They will always have the leverage.

 

Flozell Adams? Seriously?
