If they decide it's in the league's best interest, of course.

I do also know that Brett Favre has talked to the Packers about being their Quarterback's coach if he did indeed retire. He could have been talking to Bevel because they are friends? He could have been asking for any kind of pointers from the difference of being a player, and being a coach, and things of that nature??? And as for dealing with Childress... How long were the phone calls? Were they incoming, or outgoing? These are important in distinguishing if the Vikings had any interest in him at all, or if he had interest in them. Which would then be a determining factor at least in theory as to what the punishment would be. Personally what I believe (and I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up yet)... is that last year the Vikings had Jackson give Peyton Manning a call before the season to pick his brain. Could the Vikings have been doing the same thing with the "retired" Brett Favre about getting him to work with, or talk to Tavarius Jackson about becoming a better QB? I don't think that's out of the realm of possibilities. I truly don't. Personally, I could give a rat's ass as long my Pittsburgh Steelers are 12-4, and beating up on Manning and Brady next year I'm a happy guy.

It would seem like Brett is the one initiating contact. If it was the other way around, then I could see making something of it.
