Vikings coach Brad Childress made a trip this week to visit Brett Favre at his home in Hattiesburg, Miss., helping to see the 40-year-old off before his Thursday night appearance on "The Tonight Show."

Childress, in an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune, said he told Favre he was only there to "see how you're doing," not to delve into how close he was on a decision regarding his return or possible retirement.
