Minnesota's Pat Williams and Jared Allen have ripped anonymous reports that unnamed members of the Vikings want coach Brad Childress fired. A Chicago Sun-Times article cited six unnamed Vikings who said they wanted Childress fired. "That's just all reports," Williams said. "Ain't no names. ... So I really don't pay no attention to that. That's all he-say, she-say stuff. They ain't going to put no names out there, so I don't know if it's true or not. "That's like somebody [spreading a rumor about me], but they don't have to tell me who said it," he added. "If somebody starts that rumor, [people are] going to believe it. So that's how it is. That's all rumor." Allen made comments similar to those of Williams. "If you've got something to say, say it," Allen said. "If not, there are some things that should be kept in-house. There's some things that you guys [the media] don't need to know about."
