Just a "Passing" Thought

[HarveyWallbangers]

I've had to hear about how good the Vikings were going to be and how bad the Packers were going to be the last several offseasons, yet since the NFC Championship game in 2000:

2001 - Packers: 12-4; Vikings 5-11
2002 - Packers: 12-4; Vikings 6-10
2003 - Packers: 10-6; Vikings 9-7
2004 - Packers: 10-6; Vikings 8-8
2005 - Vikings: 9-7; Packers: 4-12
2006 - Packers: 8-8; Vikings 6-10
2007 - Packers: 13-3; Vikings 8-8

Now, you can see why I'm skeptical about how great the Vikings will be.

Is it as blissful as they say?

Lombardi trophies? Oh yeah - definitely.

They're pretty much the only way to legitimize a NFL franchise. Someday maybe your grandchildren will get to enjoy one.

No, your ignorance.

It must make your life easier.

That way you can believe you are smart.

Well I'm sorry you're so upset. T-Jack will be fine.

I once heard that Liberace designed the Vikings uniforms. Any of you guys believe that?

[Fritz]

True, but they were recently re-designed by Richard Simmons.

Makes perfect sense, and helps explain where Chilly got his training camp theme this year - "Sweating To The 2 A Days".

The Vikings get their toughness from this guy:




If I didn't know who he was, I'd guess he was a math teacher or a mortician.

[Scott Campbell]

He's not a very intimidating sideline presence, unless the words "pop quiz" strike the fear of God into you.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Sideline presence? C'mon scott.

Coaches intimidating...who?

Worked for Chucky and company in Tampa. They got rid of the flamboyant uniforms, and the mild mannered coach. Bingo - Superbowl.


On the plus side, Chilly's forehead does remind me a little bit of Nitschke.

They got rid of the old unis before chucky.

You and i have a diff view...chucky came in and won with dungy's players..and boom...worked them into mediocrity.

Chucky is hardly intimidating. No coach really is....any one of those players could beat the living daylights out of them.

Phil Simms says that all but 2 coaches in the league coach through intimidation - the exceptions being Tony and Lovee. I'm going to side with Phil on this one.
