A Fitting Farewell

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Brett.

As If We Needed Another Reason to Despise the Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota is leading the Cowboys 27-3 with just two minutes left to play. They've got the ball at the Dallas 11 on a 4th-and-3. Dallas is out of timeouts. What do the Vikings do? Unbelievably, they call a fade pattern for tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. Favre hits him in the end zone for another touchdown. Final score: Minnesota 34, Dallas 3.

Dallas linebacker Keith Brookings rightly labels this stunt as classless. I'd go farther and say that this was a horrible and unnecessary example of a complete lack of sportsmanship.

Quick: name the last time a team that scored 3 points in 58 minutes went on to score 24 points in the final 120 seconds. What's that? You think there was a chance the Cowboys scored three TDs with three 2-point conversions in that time - with no timeouts? Ok, I'll give you that. Then the Vikings should have kicked the field goal. Surely, Dallas might be able to score three times - but not four!

This is the team that featured Daunte's Sex Boat Adventures...that inexplicably and conveniently sold out their historic hatred of the Packers in embracing #4...and now pulls this crap. My question: is there a more classless organization in the four major American sports?

The Vikings are an utter disgrace, and I hope with all of my heart that Brees & Co. stomp all over them next Sunday.

A Special Thanksgiving Greeting

An important message from a few Minnesota Vikings fans:

Reason #4,673 to Hate the Minnesota Vikings

This is simply outrageous, and utterly indefensible.
