Coach Brad Childress gave the Patriots a valuable “3rd pick” in exchange for Randy Moss. He was also trying to get Vincent Jackson from the Chargers but was unsuccessful in doing so. Don’t forget SD also labels V Jax a bad seed due to his multiple DUI’s off the field.

So while he may have been perceived as an excellent manager for cutting his “problem child” he may have just set the Minnesota Vikes (HIS EMPLOYER) a couple years back by “giving” away that pick. By the way, that very same smart manager, talked a 41yr old washed up qtr back (Brett Favre) into coming back while he has a young possibly gifted guy sitting on the bench for 3 or 4 yrs now making millions of dollars.

In view of the recent case where an employee’s criticism of the company and supervisor were considered protected speech, we can expect more such claims by loudmouths and troublemakers.
