Regardless of your NFL loyalties and Childress's drama with the Vikes...kudos to Andrew who is serving in Afghanistan.

Even the reason why Andrew will not do an interview..God Bless him.

Made it to 2:08 into the interview and I am now sitting here with tears streaming.

I’m here in GA, my son said early he wanted to be a soldier and I too tried bribes to have him put it off until after college....He enlisted as an Infantry Grunt in the Army. I am as proud as can be and it was the best choice he made for himself, even when complaining....he is where he is meant to be.

thank your son for me..

He may not be a good coach, but he did raise a good son.

I salute him for that.

(And I happen to think that he is getting a bad rap. The Vikings have some drama queens in that locker room).

"The Vikings have some drama queens in that locker room"

And who is the one that wanted those drama queens in that locker room in the first place? Yes, it is Childress's fault for that football team. I'm glad he raised a good son, he's just not a good NFL coach..
