Warning: this story has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Vikings or the game against the Saints tomorrow. But indulge me if you will.
I'm sure you've all heard the rumor that Reggie Bush might propose to professional...um, something...Kim Kardashian if the Saints won the Super Bowl this year. (She's said it isn't true, but you can't trust anything celebrities say. Ever.) So in effort to counteract this development, I decided to go for a preemptive strike of good karma. Or something.
Yes, yours truly popped the question to his girlfriend of over two years this morning after sending her on a "scavenger hunt" of significant places to us throughout downtown Minneapolis. And believe it or not, despite all the eye-rolling sophomoric jokes I make every week on this site along with my unhealthy obsession with the Minnesota Vikings, she still said yes!
So now it's up to the Vikings. What do you say guys? How about making this the best weekend of my life tomorrow?
SKOL!! ONLY 29 HOURS TO KICKOFF!!
NOTE: If the Vikings happen to lose tomorrow, please don't blame my new fiancée OK? This was all my idea :)
SECOND NOTE: No, we will not be playing Prince's new song at our wedding, regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game. Sorry, but that song sucks. :)

Are you offering condolences....er congratulations here?
I’d like to add mine to all the others….Congrats to all! May all things go well for you as a couple, and for MN over the next two games too!
Where’s the party and when’s the party. I know some wedding crashers……
I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

From someone else who is married
it’s always a little of both. Like every other marriage, you have to talk about expectations until you kind of feel like puking or screaming.

i concur with you on that Prince song...
it’s bad. BUT it IS cool that Prince was excited enough to take the time to write the song. the words are fine – it’s the melody and presentation that sucks.
a word about Percy…heard tell from my 2nd cousin…that a practioner in Stevens Point is making real progress on the study of how migraines are related to TEETH and JAW issues. apparently, people with migraines are willing to sell the farm based on the success they’ve experienced related to this doctor’s treatment of their migraines and how they (migraines) are related to teeth issues. might be too late for tomorrow’s game but it’s something Percy should look into.
I've heard that about migraines too
I just hope Percy’s OK for tomorrow and the Super Bowl, then he can figure out a long-term solution in the off-season. Sucks to hear that such a talented athlete risks being sidelined by this pain so often.

Congratulations!
I hope the Vikings pull out a win tomorrow to make it even better for you :)

Congratulations
Here’s to wishing you at least 50 years of happiness to go with the hard labor you just signed up for LOL! I hope you and your girlfriend are as happy as my wife and I are. Skol!
That's great
Congratulations!
On Prince’s song, I hope he re-uses the lyrics with new music for a better musical composition. It could be awesome. Even if not, at least he tried to contribute something. It’s cool that we all have something in common with Prince —we’re Vikings fans.
Congrats dude.
Enjoy the ton of wedding planning you guys will be doing. I’m sure you guys’ll have an amazing one.
Skol Vikings!
Woot Woot!
ericj69, best wishes.
If Reggie is planning a SB proposal than he is looking past the Vikes. He should be good for 25rush yards on 12 carries.
Hopefully the Vikes can make this the best month of your life. Mine too!
Who dat? Nobody will remember or care after this week. Go Vikes!
You Have Chosen Wisely, Young Padawan
She IS a Viking fan, right? Because don’t you come up in here telling me you got yourself engaged to some cheesehead lover or something.

C'mon.
Of course she’s a Vikings fan. She wasn’t much for sports when we first started dating, but she has learned plenty through osmosis over the past 2+ years. She’s learning well!

Congrats Eric
Hope you have many years of happiness together…along with many Vikings Championships to go with it!
Congratulations Dude!
As a happily married man of several years now, I can tell you that if you find yourself a good one – marriage is great. So if you’ve made sure she’s awesome then best of luck to ya.
Skol vikings.
We are the vikings.......resistance is futile.
congrats brother!
bein married isn’t THAT bad!!
I piss people off on a fairly regular basis. I cherish my right to speak my mind, whether I sound like an uneducated savage or not. I've never been accused of keeping what I think a secret, nor will I ever. Don't like it? I don't care.
Here you go, Eric. These might come in handy.

Awesome my man, simply awesome.

Working on my 23rd year and it has been worth it. My parents just passed thief 63rd. Don’t be afraid to argue but be quick to realize when you are wrong. Which is most of the time.
Skol to a victory tomorrow and your upcoming wedding.
