Which Viking QB will start?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wonder if the Vikes win the "Suck for Luck" contest (whoever coined that - it's hilarious. I think it was PB?) whether they'll take Luck or if they'll Ponder their future without Luck?

Ponder is their QB for the rest of the season now. If he shows any signs of ability and they end up with the #1 pick, I think they trade it for the complete haul they will get in trade. He's going to be worth at least 2 first rounders along with multiple other picks. The Vikes would be on the other end of a Herschel Walker-esque trade. And if Ponder even becomes above average they could become much, much better very quickly.

Beware the Ides of Charlie Batch!

Never forget that loss to Detroit. Especially the goaline fake handoff that the entire team bit on while Batch stood there with the ball still in his hand.

Nope, the internet did that one without my help.

What I love is that Peter King and other media types have seized on that term to infer something detestable about fans and even goaded Luck into voicing his disapproval.

In fact, I bet the original campaign was a) Tongue in cheek and b) meant to describe actual behavior by actual teams.

But Peter knows better than us; it must have been the fans that caused the Cavs to spend most of their season with an unbalanced lineup and roster in order to secure the most ping pong balls for LeBron.

THis was a solid post, right up to the end. As if the Cavs had to try to play poorly .....

True. But observers more astute about pro basketball than I noticed the coach and team were helping the players achieve new levels of incompetence.

So Sister Christian gets the nod

Sister Christian
Oh, the snap has come
And you know
That you're the only one to say
Okay
But it was s'posed to be on two, Sully

Where you going
What are the safeties looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to give up the deep middle
To you
It's Cover 2

CHORUS

You're matriculatin'
What's your price for Hutch
In finding a new left guard
You'll be all right
in Arden Hills
or The City of Industry

Sister Christian
Where the hell is Sydney Rice
Don't you give it up
Before Berrian has cleared the zone
It's true
That's Matthews coming around left end

Matriculatin'
What's your price for flight
If you book airfare now
For a flight home Sunday night
After Week 17

Matriculatin'
Longwell's got goalposts in his sights
But the laces are turned to the right
Time to talk to the press
And set the record right
About He Who Is Never Blamed
