Well, the NFC championship was quite a game last night, and Vikings fans across the land are still recovering. You could say "at least it was more exciting than 41-0", but I'm not so sure that's a good thing, given our aging population. I think it's safe to assume that emergency rooms were filled last night with gray-haired Vikings fans either a) having a heart attack or b) filled with anxiety wondering, "Will they ever win one in my lifetime?!?!?!?" Another 40 years and they'll know what Red Sox fans felt like in 2003. Maybe it'll even produce the same result...naaaaaaah.
Another year, another heartbreak for Vikings fans. 0-for-4 in Super Bowls, 0-for-5 in Championship games since. They keep this up and they'll have to change their name to the OhFers. I blame Prince.
Well, at least now I won't have to spend the next two weeks as a nervous wreck, wondering how the local team will possibly stop Seyton Manning. As far as silver linings go, that has to be in the running for top ten worst.
Good luck, New Orleans. If you lose, welcome to the club.
