it also means we are tied with the pack too…at this oint our division will go to which ever team has the weakest remaining schedule. it looks like we ar gonna have a 10-6 record. i see u losing to the cards but who knows anything can happen. i’ve never seen minnesota either as i live in the northwest. i also couldnever imagine watching another team. iloe the purple but they have got to stop disappointing

I didn’t get the game till the fourth quarter switch from the pack game either cause i live in Omaha. I was also monitoring the game on a stupid gamecast thing like you did. It sucks. I usually see the games because i’ll go to buffalo wild wings, but I didn’t have a car this week.

Most of the time I’m at work on Sundays, and have to sneakily check to see if I have text updates from my friends. Better than nothing but still… no fun.

So I have seen three games so far this year. It’s a huge bummer, yes.

Especially considering I write a blog.

VA here too, and it doesn’t bother me so much that there’s a lot of redskins fans here, but the cowboys thing is pretty annoying, so you’re not alone in VA!

Growing up in the 60’s we didn’t have to worry about the Redskins too much as they lost every year and the only fans they had were the old timers who were clinging to the teams of the 40’s. I became a Viking fan during the Kapp era also…when you couldn’t find a jersey to wear and all you could get was a purple beanie or a sweat shirt if you were lucky. I’ve always considered Redskin fans kind of brainwashed here as the local channels show all their games and the media talks about them they’re the only team in the league. I miss the old days of the outdoor games at the Met… when Bud Grant refused to allow heaters on the sidelines…when it wasn’t uncommon to see our Vikes playin in below zero temps before Thanksgiving…when both teams were on the same sidelines…when homefield advantage meant other teams were petrified to be coming to Minnesota to the playoffs in Dec…when hall of famers like Larry Csonka still feel the hit of a Vikings linebacker years later….Memories like those and others keep me a die-hard fan. I wish they still played outdoors. I never miss a game (thank God for Sunday ticket) and even through the losing seasons, I’ll still be there in front of the tube on Sunday. From what I’m reading here, we all share that same kind of devotion and maybe one day we’ll all celebrate that championship that’s eluded us all these years.
