Tails Never Fails
Sometimes we have to decide if the glass is half empty or half full. And when the final evidence is that the margin of victory included the results of a coin toss, and two close plays in OT that you could not really overturn because even high-def TV really can't tell the difference in whether one was a good catch or another a first down, then you have to remember that not much is left to be done to make this VIkings team a champion.
There are always mistakes in any football game, and when you have a game that could have had another winner if one of several of the many plays in the game had gone differently, then how you view the contents of this glass says much more about the observer than the number of molecules of H2O.
No matter how if feels right now, it was a game and a season that come to the end, not the planet Earth.
For now everyone will continue to wonder if Favre is really retired or not. The world is actually not a whole lot different than before today.
Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and good luck to them in the Super Bowl, because sometimes a less than measurable quantity of luck is all that it takes.

Me too, but of course if the coin toss is actually fair, Hutch has a 50-50 chance whatever he calls, and the ref is always the last guy to touch the coin. (Even if the toss isn’t fair due to intervention by space aliens or solar radiation, that would never be corrected by an instant replay or anything else allowed under the NFL rules.) Many things in this universe are due to circumstances beyond human control, whether we like to admit it or not. Sometimes your accumulated skill allows you to land that plane on the Hudson River, and sometimes a gust of wind hits at the last critical moment, and it doesn’t.
good chaos theory examples...
Bottom line: Shite happens, get over it and move on…..healthier….
I would rather be IN the Arena than watching from the stands...That is my life!

That was the closest possible football game
Considering we handed them five turnovers, and still almost won it anyway.
