All Viking friends, I would like your two and a half cents

by vikingfiend on Dec 12, 2008 9:43 PM CST Comment 27 comments

For the past two years I've been feuding with my supervisor over who's got more wins the Jets or the Vikings in a single season. Last year, I won. The prize was a Viking jersey of my choosing. Naturally, I went with the #28 and wore it with pride. This year, so far, the Jets and the Vikings have the same number of wins. So what I'm asking is who should I make him buy me if I win the bet again for the second year in a row? You might laugh but I really would like a Frerotte jersey. But somehow I don't see him coming back for the purple next year. So I'm going to try and narrow it down to a few. Let me know who you guys think should I win the bet. I know there are 3 more games yet but by the time the Vikes win I'll have my order in already with the help of my Viking family. Here are some I've wanted. Just give me a name please.

Gus Frerotte

Berrian

C. Taylor

Shank

Allen

P. Williams

K. Williams

Winfield

Jared Allen…..then make a quip about Favre being lucky he didnt have to face JA twice this year.

But honestly, given the relative final three game schedule….you should have the money ready to buy him that Favre Jersey he’ll probably want.

Here's a nickel!

Hope you lose the bet this year!

Are you trying to jinx the squad?

Thanks

I said “viking friends of mine” NOT “enemies”

Not jinxing anything just the way he wanted it last year. I’m a man who knows the Vikes are better. I won’t back down from a bet.

The bet isn't the issue...

the cockiness, counting you eggs before they’ve hatched is where I took issue. Sorry if it wasn’t meant for me to comment, however you’ve misquoted yourself!

I just have confidence in my team!!!!!

Allen For Sure...

The guy showed heart by coming back into the Lions game not knowing if his knee was gone or not. That’s old school. Allen would have been one of those guys playing in leather helmets or a Joe Kapp style quarterback with the single bar looking to run over defenders. He’s a Viking for sure.

Allen or Kwill, although a Shank jersey is appealing

In AP I trust

It's not even close for me...

Allen.

Frerotte….lofl

I hear....

I hear they’re selling Shiancoe jerseys with a matching appendage… it has to be delivered via forklift though.

I'd go for an EJ Henderson

Guy will melt faces next year.

Winfield

The dude has been so good for us game after game, year after year. Unsung hero for sure!

J Allen

Of those listed, take Allen. Personally, I would get Sharper jersey, but he was not a choice.

Two Minimum Tommy

If I were going throwback, it would almost have to be a #9 KRAMER.

Gift certificate

Get a gift certificate from the Vikes’ team shop so that you can use it sometime next summer when the Vikes get a free agent QB or draft a good QB(if any come out this year).

Modern of Classic?

If it’s Modern, go for Allen!

But if you can swing something classic…. man, you gotta go for the retired ol’ #10!!

Don't Forget

If it’s throwback you’re thinking about, don’t forget the defensive BEAST of the late 60’s through the 70’s…1971 NFL MVP, Ring of Honor Member, and Hall of Famer…#88 Alan Page

Thanks guys, keep up the posting. I’m really excited about possibly getting the new jersey. I want everyone to know that i’m not being cocky, just very, very confident. I got my first AP jersey due to this type of situation so i’m looking forward to this by the end of the season. Living in NY around JETS/Giant fans gets to me. Only because i’m subjected to watching them every week. But thanks to this site and all of the viking friends out there you guys are with me each and every sunday. Through good and bad. What a nation to be involved with. Thanks for you replies.
