Its not Cubs or Cleveland level yet, but they are working on it. One huge difference is that the Vikings franchise have been very competitive and very good several times in their history. They aren't incompetent nor are they lovable losers. Just snakebit. I don't think they need our help.
For reasons I cannot fathom, my favorite Viking was probably Anthony Carter. The NFL should have let him wear his #1. After that it was Alan Page.

Question for you older X and O types: Why is Dick "Bam Bam" Ambrose, and ILB, covering Ahmad Rashad in the end zone on a 46yard pass?
Viking fans know nothing!

For Pete's sake I didn't want to see the play again!
Nice defense Marty!

I'm cheering for Jags/Eagles game.

I see the St Louis Park highschool cheerleaders back there. They used to do the Vikings games for many years.
That would truly be the Who Cares Bowl for meQuote:

Isn't it going to be The Jag's @ Eagles in Minnesota !? :idea:
My favorite Queen? The one and only Randy Fucking Moss. Favre will always be a Packer in my heart and mind.Quote:

So many more worthy Vikings. Jerry Burns my number one followed by Tarkenton.Quote:
