Vikings quarterback Brett Favre addressed his teammates twice this week to display his commitment to the franchise. Favre said he first spoke to the team on Wednesday at the urging of Minnesota head coach Brad Childress. He said one of the points he and others stressed was that players needed to keep certain issues within the team, saying, "If something is being said in here -- by whoever, it's got to stop. It's hard enough to win as it is. Success does crazy things. So we had a good meeting. "That article, like the schism thing, brought us together last year. It really did because it wasn't true. I don't know if someone out there is planting seeds or what but we wanted to nip it in the bud."
