Brett Favre Should Be Next Out the Door for Rebuilding Vikings

With Brad Childress out as head coach, it's time for the Vikings to cut ties with Brett Favre.Brett Favre said Sunday that he needed to go home and "reevaluate" this season and, presumably, whether he wanted to finish it. By firing coach Brad Childress on Monday, the Vikings showed they're way ahead of Favre on this one.

This is rock-bottom time for the Vikings. Thanks in large part to Favre's final magic act, they came within a tiny gray whisker of the Super Bowl last season. They thought, if they brought the league's most famous active grandfather back for one more year, they could make another run at it. But Favre didn't bring the magic with him this time. Now Childress is gone, the team is 3-7 and Favre will be about as useful in Minnesota this December and January as a beach umbrella.

There's a lot of evaluating the Vikings themselves need to do over what remains of this season, and there's no good reason for Favre to stick around for any of it. Given the place in which they suddenly find themselves as a franchise, the Vikings ought to send Favre packing right along with Childress.
