Do You Believe in Miracles?

Minnesotans should recognize my title as those words which Al Michaels spoke seconds before Minnesotan Herb Brooks coached the 1980 U. S. Olympic hockey team to an unlikely victory over the Soviet Union.  They went on to become world champions and wear the gold medal.

So what does all that have to do with NFL football? 

The time is now.  This too is a moment in history.  The Minnesota Vikings are in trouble.   Their stadium is one of the worst money-generating platforms in the NFL.  There are not enough fancy suites to sell to businesses entertaining their clients.  Minnesota is not a populous state, and times are tough.  A lot of Minnesota front runners even run around in Packer caps.  Bridges collapsing, recessions happening, all add to a very dark picture. 

But now, #4 is on our side.  However you feel inside about all of this, remember that this is the point in history that could make or break your Minnesota Vikings.  Even an idiot might realize you don't let a rich Californian buy up your Super Bowl championship team and ship it off to LA, even if some governors are much dumber than any TV wrestler.

The Vikings may have all the cards this year.  See the analysis by Mike Mayock:  http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Mike-Mayocks-Vikings-Season-Preview/97ac6de6-ac61-4254-b1df-d3d9aabf363c

Miracles do happen now and then.  With everyone pulling together, we can make this dream a reality.

Let's do it.   Let's make hell freeze over!

I thought it was going to tie into the song…. “Where you from? You sexy thang.”

LOLOL! I thought the same thing!

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

always thought it was

“Do you live in Marigolds?”

You know kinda like those songs “Excuse me, while I kiss this Guy” by Jimi Hendrix and “There’s a Bathroom on the Right” by CCR …

Thanks for the link.

I especially agree with Mayock’s last words, “Super Bowl or bust.”

Seriously

It would suck to lose the Vikings.

Well said, Elgar

I have been silent for a bit, not commenting on anything posted because of my secret kind of fear that Farve will be the worst Vikings QB in the history of the team. I don’t live in a market where I could see the game (I got stuck with Cowboys Tampa Bay) but on the replays, he looked like the cheese-head demigod I usesd to hate. This season is a pretty stacked deck for Minnesota, if we can’t winj this year, with this team, we never will.. I’m totally and completely with the Brettster, my wish yesterday was: WIN AND WIN BIG, OR GET CRIPPLED BY A SACK! I guess neither of them came true, so I’m at least more hopeful after our win againts the Dawg Pound. I Dunno,
SKOL BITCHES!!

How does the bridge collapse relate to football in any world?

by RipHimToShreds on Sep 14, 2009 9:16 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

From

the ‘we can’t fund a millionaire football owner’s new stadium when we have bridges collapsing’ argument.

I believe the 'push off' cost us 'our' SuperBowl...
I believe you 'go for the win'... instead of 'taking a knee'...
