Though Vikings coach Brad Childress has yet to acknowledge that his team is interested in acquiring “retired” quarterback Brett Favre, Childress declared during a Wednesday morning radio spot with our friends at KFAN in Minneapolis that no deadline exists.

"Absolutely not," Childress said. “Maybe by Deanna [Favre] or somebody like that, but certainly not from me. Not even — not even close. [I] don’t know where that dropped out of the sky from. . . .

“I don’t know how you guys in that industry go about your sourcing,” Childress added. “‘A source that a source said.’ I don’t know. It’s questionable. Very questionable.”

The fourth-year head coach also continues to be evasive regarding the true nature of the team’s interest in Favre. For example, asked whether the press has overstated the Vikings’ interest in Favre, Childress focused only on the report that Childress was in Mississippi to meet with Favre when Childress actually was in Minnesota. “I always thought David Copperfield was a great magician,” Childress said. “But I haven’t been able to do that one yet.”

Childress at no time has said that he’s not interested in Favre, so it’s Favre to assume that the door was and still is open for the Second Annual Brett Favre unretirement.
