The Minnesota Vikings released safety Dwight Smith. It was no secret in Vikings land that Coach Childress and Smith didn’t get along. In fact, this Vikings fan was surprised to see Dwight Smith on the field as a Viking even last season. Sure, he had a few good games and he has potential, but his off the field antics were not the kind of press Brad Childress will tolerate.
Remember the Dwight Smith stairwell incident? That was an interesting water cooler day. I worked in Hudson at the time and we used to kid around with one of the 24 year old office girls that it was her in the stairwell with Smith!
Smith will become an unrestricted free agent and the Vikings did right by him by giving him enough notice to seek out other teams. Brad Childress says the Vikings are "going in a different direction." Let’s hope that means they are going to try and win more than 8 games . . . wouldn’t that be a nice direction to go in?
