He embodies class, character, discipline and is a great family man. Bottom line -- Brad Childress is a winner.

We're going to turn it around. We spoke in detail with the coach and coaching staff and we know what we have to do. We have to get everybody back and energized and back in the winning ways. We're 0-2, but it's a long season ahead of us. Our main goal right now is still to win our division, and I think we can get back in our winning ways.

I expressed my anger and I expressed my embarrassment, my embarrassment on behalf of my family and for the people who work hard here.

This is a great opportunity to create a tremendous family venue. I intend to create a Vikings legacy.

I'm behind the coach. We're trying to be like a family, and when you're going through a difficult time, everyone needs each other's support.
