Congrats Saints

[superfan]

The Vikes are easily my least favorite team, and I'm glad they lost tonight to the Saints. But this blog post puts things in perspective. Very touching.

Ras, sometimes you make it awfully tough for me to take pleasure in the Vikings' failures.

Hang in there and good season.

Hey, he's a Viking troll.

Isn't anybody gonna call him a douche bag?

I don't see Ty logged in.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Ty has never thought Ras was a douche bag because he is a vikings fan.

Congrats Saints, absolutely! But it will take at least the 2 weeks before I can think about cheering for them. On to next season. I feel like a Cubs fan.

while im not sorry for the vikings pain today, I am sorry for yours mngolf! But I think you might feel more like a packers fan over the last decade, get SOOOOO close and then have a hard loss in the playoffs that involves a near end of game pick on a bad through by #4. Yep, been there a couple times.

You have another 60 years to go before truly feeling like a Cubs fan

With all the fumbles, etc MN does have the look of a snake bit franchise. Still hopefully the good run will keep the fan base up enough so they won't move to LA.

Actually there may be some good news on that front. One of the burbs wants to help them out and they have some cheap land they can get out there. They've also talked about having all the property tax and other taxes generated at that site used to fund the stadium. So could see some movement on that this year.

But thanks for the thoughts guys. And God help me if I make it that next 60 yrs without an SB win. Possible yes but I'd hit triple digits. Maybe I'll still be posting on here.

Thanks MPF. It'll take a little time on this one.

That's good. Much as I hate the Vikings, I like hating them The LA Vikings just doesn't work (although the West Hollywood Queens does).

The idea of posting on a web site like this in 60 years will probably be as archaic as posting to a dial-up BBS is today. Of course if you are 100 and senile, your posts would fit in with the drunk posts and nobody would notice.

Class act Ras as usual.

I feel badly for guys like you and loads of other friends that I have in MN who are really hurting about this one.

+1

That's who I really feel for, all the Vike fans
who have been watching for this since fall, and hopin' -
We have family up there too...

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah, have to root for the Saints. But my money thinks they will not be able to handle the Colts.

[Iron Mike]

I feel like a Cubs fan.

Except for the fact that the Cubs have actually won a championship.
