Too Tired of for a good blog today.. Well what else is new I never have a good blog.. I am just going to spew a few things out.. I love watching football games I hate being grouped with these people.. When you go to a twins game or tpups or whatever you go and you talk to the person you are with about the game and related items.. When you go to a vikes game everyone feels the need to listen to your conversations and try and engage you.. What is that and trust me there is not a lot intellectual conversations going on up there.. "You see Pepper he looks terrible" "Wow we are going to kick GB's ass this year" .. I am talking to FT (speaking of FT he provided the Brats,Chili, and Bloody mary's that where just plain outstanding) and every time I would start a sentence somebody would start adding to it.. This isn't normal behavior why do people want to slap five with me when the Vikings scored.. I didn't accomplish anything and I am fairly confident you didn't wash your hands after the third visit to the trough.. Get off my side I don't want to be grouped with you.. It is one thing to be dumb it is another to be grouped with a herd of them..
So lets run down the game..
Game Ball
Coaching.. The vikes are a really bad offensive team but they aware of that and try and minized the impact of the offense can have a game. Clutch call on practicing and executing the fake field goal.. This would not have happened with the dime store staff they had last year. They just kept giving the other team a chance to screw up and they did.. Those two teams looked like carbon copies minimize of one team having Peppers..
MVP
Defense.. They have made adjustments in the second half of both games to minize the minimize to 3 pts each.. That is an impressive stat.. So If I had to pick anyone I will pick Winfield he is the best pure tackler I have seen play in a decade or so.. His special teams tackles where just so timely when they needed to get their offense buried..
Offense
Running Backs.. A
Chester Taylor if he stays healthy is just like Brad Johnson he gets it done and gives you great effort every time.
O line.. D- or F]
FatKinney is the Randy Moss of Lineman he does not run block at all he takes plays off if not series.. They made no adjustment to Peppers (Best Athlete in Pads I have seen in long time) he was destroying Marcus Johnson and got no chip or tight end help or scheme help.. This could have lost the game for them. Lost of Ole Blocks by both sides including the 100 million left side.. Could we block an LB once and awhile..
Quarterback A-
Wow Brad johnson played well under pressure.. Made one mistake but other than that he was solid short of few drop balls.. Travis in the end zone and Wiggins on the third down play late in the 4th we would have beaten them earlier.
Receivers B+
Williamson was open all day and played with an injury.. That is a big deal they are a much better offense when he is on the field and he is going to take a pounding in this throw underneath team.. We need another receiver to step up here..
TE F
This is by far the strength of this offense and they are doing nothing short of dropping key catches.. Wiggins is not open "Ever" and Ksauce is getting paid a ton of money for chipping the D end and we cannot get around the corner ever.. We will have new Tight e
ends next year..
Defense A
They are playing with virtually the same talent as last year and are holding teams to one touchdown a game.. Great coaching but it is only 2 teams not playing with their best players at full strength..
LB's B
Solid when rushing horrible when reading a run play… I would just have them shoot gaps and be done with it.. But anybody can play behind the Williams..
Dline A+
they are so disruptive and really make the Vikes worth watching.. They are just so tough against the run…
Dbacks..B Tough great tackling and leaps and bounds better than last year..
Tough to tell both teams they beat have no wins this year.. It is a dumb stat but it is true.. I hope they can get ahead of Chicago if that lame offense of the Bears gets ahead of you that defense will destroy the Vikes Oline..
2-0 It is what it is.. 7 more wins for 9-7..
Twins..
How,Why I can't believe these guys keep winning much respect.. I can't post anything negative on these guys..
Fantasy Football
0-4 so far wow I am great judge.. Bring on Fantasy Hoops..
Keep Hating
Twins Magic Number is 9
THICK

The new Dan Bern album "Breathe" is released tomorrow.
Had to attend a confirmation function at 1:30. Nice timing on a Sunday afternoon in the Fall. Watched a little of the first half. The defense is fun to watch. No quite the "Purple People Eaters", but they are playing well.
Culpepper is already being booed in Miami. You gotta love that.
TIVO...
STEP Up..
EVS
Bern.. Can't Wait
Erasmus James out for season - torn ACL.
So far Childers has averaged about one collosal hose-up per game, to Tice's volume of errors per game average...I think this is the reason that we are winning...that and chip, chip, chip, chip, chip...or as D perhaps more eloquently states: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Vikes Win!!! I like this style of game, and without a Randy Moss type player, we need to play good old fashioned ball to win in this league. O-line struggled with Peppers and Carstens(sp?), but still did some great things...Chester has proven he deserves a roster spot, and the receivers are better than last week as well...the tight ends took the game off, but will be back next week, and frankly, I like to see the rest of the squad step up when Wiggins is not such a factor...Winners Find a Way!!!!
Saw my nephew play full pad tackle football this weekend...boy was I a proud uncle...my oldest son wants to play next year...can't type too long tonight, all the new shows to watch...
Peace,

P.S. Even if you're not a big Vikes fan, you got to admit that the week's a lot easier under the glow of an OT win...gotta love them Vikes!!!
You know how I know you're gay? You like Dan Bern.
Did the vikes play this weekend? I was watching an entertaining Twins game when I flipped channels during a commercial. I came across a team in white and purple abominations of a uniform moving down the field at 3 yards a play.
I was instantly struck comatose.
I woke momentarily to see a kicker throw a touchdown, and fell back into a coma, knowing that after seeing that, my disbelief in prophecy was being seriously challenged.
Someone please tell me that wasn't the vikes, because they were so very boring.
Anonymous, you are a cowardly hate bucket. Dan Bern rocks.
IJ,
Why yall such a Vikes hater, playa'? You really prefer a gang banger themed Vikes squad to good ol' Vince Lombardi style football? Yall so gangsta, yo!
JLO
