Brett Favre didn't want to come out of yesterday's game in overtime when the Bears got the ball first. With Favre not playing defense, the Vikings allowed 36 points to a Jay Cutler lead offense, including a touchdown pass to unknown Devin Aromashodu. Video that was probably photo-shopped from a camera phone was posted on Youtube showing Favre putting head coach Brad Childress into a head lock when Childress wouldn't let him into the game. He let the media know of his displeasure after the game.
"I'm a hall of fame quarterback who has played in 582,559 games in a row" said Favre in his press conference. "Our defense allowed 36 points. Who cares if we've already clinched a playoff spot? I wanted to be out on the field for every play including special teams so we could win the game."
As an extra incentive for Favre, he knew that this would be an excellent opportunity to break one of the few records he doesn't have: most interceptions by a defender. Favre is only 81 interceptions behind Paul Krause and facing a guy like Cutler, Favre knew he could really make a push for the record before facing Eli Manning in the regular season finale next week.

I heard that Favre was upset he wasn't put in as the kicker - there shouldn't be one point that the Vikings get that isn't personally put on the scoreboard by Favre himself.
