Chili's making my heart burn.

Now, I understand that after the most painful win in my lifetime by the Vikings (heck, I was there, the 12 year old kids playing at half-time had a more imaginative offense than the Vikes- they even ran a reverse!) emotions are riding high with calls to fire Brad Childress; so I’ve come up with 10 good reasons not to fire him.

Here goes…

10. What us rube fans call a predictable, unimaginative offense, he correctly identifies as “consistent”.

9. He’s never been a head coach before, so he deserves time to “develop”.

8. He always provides a good laugh when he tries to sound articulate & erudite at press conferences, it’s not his fault he "misunderestimates" the intelligence on Viking fans.

7. His “kick ass” offense believes in field goals.

6. He only has 6 Pro Bowl linemen to work with.

5. Remember when Zygi hired him, he said he picked us, we didn’t pick him. Well, we must reward that kind of magnanimous generosity with our undying loyalty.

4. He wisely refuses to resign Matt Birk, obviously not out of any petty jealousy, but because of Birk’s sub-par play and all of his many off-field incidents.

3. He has promised to stop fining players for attending family funerals.

2. This coaching gig gives him an excuse to duck Madonna’s calls.

1. Think of all the money he’s saving MN taxpayers by killing any public support of a new stadium.

Keep on keeping on Chili.
