Because apparently, the two have bad blood between them back when both of them were still in Minnesota.

And since Troy Williamson now plays for the Jaguars, he was waiting for the day when he plays against his former coach since landing in Jacksonville. He gets his chance this Sunday as the Jaguars and the Vikings lock horns for the first time this 2008-09 NFL football season and yes, Williamson wants Childress’ ass BAD.

Why the hatred? It turns out that Troy Williamson lost his respect for his former coach last year after Childress withheld a game check from him for missing a week of practice to remain in South Carolina following the death of his grandmother.

And now that he’s finally out of Childress’ doghouse, the young wideout said he would like to ‘’duke it out'’ with his former coach when the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.

‘’We can meet on the 50-yard line and we can go at it,'’ Troy Williamson said.

And yes, he’s serious. He even said that he liked his chances against Brad Childress too since he has a few inches and at least 10 pounds on his former coach. He even said that he would fight him with both hands tied behind his back.

How did the Minnesota Vikings head coach respond? Childress simply said, ‘’He must not be aware there’s a buffer zone between the opponents.'’ HUH?!? Buffer what?

Initially, Childress said he ain’t ‘’biting'’ on Williamson’s comments, but when pressed about his height and weight on a conference call, he responded with, ‘’Do you need my reach? I’m not like a woman. I’ll give you my weight. It’s 190 pounds of twisted steel and rompin’, stompin’ dynamite. Is that enough humor for you?'’

Yes, this Jaguars - Vikings game is turning out to be a good one.
