This the thread where I crow about how fantastic the Vikings are

The game I saw (where Chris Carter had his number retired) featured Chicago doing a clampdown on Randy Moss but basically forgetting to look after the whole rest of the team. Can anyone find the story about tokin' Randy vs. Mpls. meter maid?

Although must be said, we were shitting ourselves when Brett Favre got a case of the last-minute angries during that Green Bay game. Punctuated by me asking my mum 'why the fuck does he pronounce it FARVE? Is he...retarded?'

I've got to phone my sister and see what M!ke T!ce gossip she's got, apart from he calls my mum 'Mom'. Parent in question thinks Daunte Culpepper's hands are waaaaay too small

Daunte Culpepper could be the best ever though. Broncos actually got a lot of pursuit on him, despite all the talk about how big how big how great how big how smart the O line is for the Vikes. The thing is Culpepper is fast as hell and can throw 50 yards across his body while running. What a stud. Moss requires no comment. I am wondering if the huck and pray will get them an NFC title.

vikes are indeed strong (i picked them to win their division before the season! check it!), but unless they get homefield advantage, there's no way they beat some of those physical teams in the nfc (ahem... bucs!).

The Chiefs and Colts are looking pretty good, but I think they are thin in certain positions and one or two injuries could derail them.

The Bucs are getting into the habits that Gruden's teams at Oakland had, inconsistent play and stupid penalties will be their downfall. They could still get it back together, but they are giving up a ton of yards on the ground.

The Vikings look as good as anyone and could win the NFC, they just have to avoid their bad luck that has plagued some of their best teams in the playoffs. They have one play that teams cannot defend, send Moss deep and toss it up like a jump ball in basketball. He is just too tall and can get too vertical, if the pass is somewhat on the money, it is pretty much a touchdown. It worked the same way when Cunningham had that hot season a few years back.

The Panthers look good, but with their passing game, get them down a couple of scores and they will have a hard time coming back to win.

There are a bunch of other teams that look great one week and crappy the next.

What I cannot figure out is how the Patriots are winning? Their defense has been decimated by injuries all year, they don't seem that impressive on the offense, but they have beaten the Titans and Dolphins.

Heh heh, pride goeth...

Here's something I'd be afraid to tell Warren Sapp, but I'm glad someone did though:

"He's a fading star. He's trying to hold on. Give him some pompons. That's all he does is dance anyway." 49'ers DE Ahanotu

The Bucs ain't sucking. They are still the team to beat in the NFC. I don't think the Vikings could beat them.

Vikes beat the 9ers beat the Bux.

Worse NFL Trade ever...Colts/Falcons: Chris Hinton OT (all pro), Andre Rison WR (all pro and got his house burned down by that girl in TLC) and a couple of picks for Jeff George. The only revenge is that Atlanta traded to get George back a few years later and one of the picks was used to draft Marvin Harrison.

If the Broncos are stupid enough to hire George, then Shannahan is on the road to being fired, just like every other pro (and even a college) coach that has named him quarterback.

You never know, the guy does have an absolute cannon, maybe he found religion and will turn into a goody goody or perhaps being unemployed for a few years has humbled him enough that he is willing to make it work. Nah.

Because I was getting all excited, thinking we could have a nice historical discussion of "What The Vikings Did For Us" and raping and pillaging and discovering the New World and all...

(OK, considering that human beings share 90% of the DNA with apes, it's probably a great deal more than 30%, but 30% of human characteristic DNA, rather than DNA in general...)

Vikings are cool, I saw it in that old 50s movie "The Vikings" where the Viking King had this Viking Wench pinned to a board by her plaits and threw knives at her. (This gave HSA ideas, unfortunately.)

Vikings are kinda cool, but they always choke in the playoffs.
Maybe they should replace the current Vikings logo with a more badass version. Worked for the Bucs and Pats.

(no no no the event Vikes choke at is commonly known as the SUPER BOWL)

As for the Viking logo, it's kind of tough but not the contemporary extreme-sports badass style that you see now... like what they did to Maryland's Terp mascot.

Fear the Turtle!

They've lost to the Panthers and the 49ers already.

See, I was right!

So? That means nothing in the NFL! And fuck, the 49ers are three plays away (Ced Wilson's scramble, Browns 4th-and-long conversion, missed figgie) from being in first place in the NFC West!

Why don't we have a real Viking thread? So we can discuss, who would win in a battle of Vikings vs. Pirates? I think Vikings would have them!

Vikings rule they are the Purple team.

Also Vikings rule, I am at least 30% vikings.

You know what? Fuck it. You all hate me anyway and you don't answer my threads anyway, so I'm starting it anyway.

"I AM SO A REAL VIKING"
