Friday Fun

I have received several emails over the last few weeks requesting that I rant about something other than politics. I thought I did sometimes? Anyway, starting on Fridays, I am going to rant/rave about sports and entertainment. They are two topics I am just as passionate about as politics so I figured why not?

I know this sounds very played but....do the Minnesota Vikings absolutely suck or what? Good gravy, I don't think I have ever seen a more harmless offense. Every Sunday I sit in my chair, watching each game, and I can tell what flippin' play they are going to run. Imagine what someone (i.e. professional football coach) who watches 60 hours of film a week is able to do.

And the pass defense? I don't think I have ever seen a more terrible unit. When 3rd and whatever comes up, it's a 15 yard pass play straight up the middle to a wide open player. EVERY SINGLE MICKY FRIKKIN' TIME!!!!!! Argh!!!!!! Charlie Brown's stomach, after Lucy pulls away the football, isn't even as close to as sick as mine. The funny thing is...the coaching staff of the Vikings doesn't seem to notice. They are so trapped in their own hubris, from the little major right on down, they can't see that their "system" doesn't work.

Word of advice to prospective athletes: when you hear the word SYSTEM......

RUN SCREAMING!!!!

For the record, Frikkin is not a cuss word.

My bears aren't doing much better this year.

Dude,

Cool blog. When are you going to learn that the Vikes are cursed just like the Cubs?

Ummm, you were saying something about the Vikings sucking??

The QB situation is clearly a mess and they could use some help in the defensive secondary. But, those 2 areas aside, there is reason for much hope in MN. Adrian Peterson is clearly the real deal and the type of player you can build a team around. We have the line to back him up and some young recievers to work wiht. The addition of 2 to 3 players to the afore mentioned postions and we're a contender. Have faith, ye fare weather fans!

Oy!...should have used the spell checker on that last one...

Maybe Childress reads my blog. That was an extraordinary performance yesterday. Peterson was quite obviously stunning but the pass defense finally got it right.

Now, they have to be the Pack.

No doubt about Sunday. First game in quite some time that was fun to watch, from both benches. There were some awesome plays to watch. Not the usual back and forth between the 20 and the 50.
