Thank you Randy Moss for deflecting any analysis about our crappy play for a week.

- Sincerely the Vikings defense

[Scott Campbell]

Thank you Canadian internet service providers, for giving us the bandwidth necessary for such a vast source of unintentional humor.

[HowardRoark]

Thank you 394 for a traffic jam so that I can hear more about the implosion at Winter Park on the way to work.

[Scott Campbell]

Thank you Paul Allen, for wearing your emotions on your sleeve.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thank you Ziggy Wilf for making sure Childress didn't slip through your fingers and get hired by Green Bay.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Might want to go back and check that.

Well, at least, he's averaging more yards/carry.

Thank you Martin Cooper for inventing the cell phone. Thank you Matti Makkonen for inventing text messaging. Thank you Philippe Kahn for inventing the camera phone. Thanks to all three of you for making it possible to send photos and messages from one phone to another.

And there is the winner.

I think someone needs to make a new emoticon of a text message or something.

Thank you arbitrary power ranking surveys, for giving us one more delivery mechanism for ridiculing the Vikings.

Thank You, God!!!

[Guiness]

I've got a pre-emptory thank you. Another thread here led me to Jeff George's Wikipedia page, and this quote:

Most recently, on August 4th, 2010 George announced on KFAN Sports radio in Minnesota that he would be willing to step in for veteran QB Brett Favre if Favre decides to retire from the Minnesota Vikings. [3]

Please, please, please, PLEASE!!!!!

(and if it happens, thank you thank you thank you!)

Thank you Ted Thompson.

Thank you for putting together a defensive coaching staff of Dom Capers, Kevin Greene, Mike Trgovac, Darren Perry, and *gasp* Joe Whitt Jr.

Thank you Brandon Jackson - for having more rushing yards to date than Matt Forte.

And thank you John Kuhn for having more rushing yards to date than Marshawn Lynch.

Might want to go back and check that.

Ooops- NFL.com has Lynch's stats split between the Bills and Seahawks for some reason. Weird.

OK, redo then-

Thank you John Kuhn for having more yards per carry and just as many TDs as Marshawn Lynch.

Thank you mid grade beef roasts, for providing a healthy portion of nutritious protein, and sticking a fork in the Viking season.




WOODBURY - Last Friday, Gus Tinucci woke up to do the same thing his family has done since 1958 - running his restaurant and catering business. That day, he was serving lunch to the Minnesota Vikings.

"We had barbecue pork ribs, chicken, some pasta alfredo, a round of beef and a dessert tray", Tinucci says.

This was his fifth time serving the weekly Friday meal to the Vikings, but the day turned out anything but ordinary once Randy Moss approached the buffet.

"He was waving his arms around and was very loud saying 'I wouldn't feed this *bleep* to my dogs," Tinucci said, "and who ordered this crap."

Tinucci said Moss' tirade continued as he walked back to his locker. He says Moss added, "I used to have to eat *bleep* like this but now I have money."

Thank you Brandon494, for reminding me that my enthusiasm for John (the Nigerian Nightmare) Kuhn may have been a bit premature.

Thank you Brandon Jackson - for having more rushing yards to date than Matt Forte.

And thank you John Kuhn for having more rushing yards to date than Marshawn Lynch.
