Around SBN: Strikeforce: Cormier vs. Barnett Fight Video Highlights

The play that turned around the Minnesota Vikings' season, made even more awesome by the lack of Joe Buck (thank you, Major League Baseball).

I agree that was the least obnoxious

Announcing in a long time. Troy was fair with his assessments of strengths and weakness. What a shot in the arm at the right time. Now if we can capitalize on this win we can start a streak.

Skol to a great Sunday

And, he's back.

The lack of practice during training camp and preseason for Percy Harvin seemed to hamper him in the first few games of the season. But, healthier and regaining his conditioning, Harvin is looking more and more every game like the guy he was last year. He’s had three touchdowns since the bye week. This return for a touchdown was fantastic :)

you are right...

our Vikings started out in a hole, with injuries and we just need to keep getting better each week.

thank god the defense has been showing up.

I BELIEVE...

Amen!

The defense’s stout play is giving the offense opportunities to find a way to win. Without that…we’d be toast.

Aikman

I like him. He wasn’t biased at all. If all announcers showed his class during a game it would make life much easier.

That Monday night game against the Jets was painful to watch: 1) because of the Vikings performance and 2) because the announcers were so biased towards the Jets.

Adding to that

Sometimes when former NFL players enter the broadcasting booth, they use it as a pulpit to preach about how great they were and how much better the game supposedly was way back when. This afternoon, I heard Troy refer to himself once, and only to say how humbled he was by Favre’s records (and almost a subtext of perhaps not deserving to be in the Hall, or at least not as much as Favre).

Big Time Bias

Yes. I especially enjoyed it when the announced referred to the Jets as “us” and “we!” We need to get the ball back and here is what we need to do to win. What the heck???? I thought I was watching the Jets Football Network!! I tell you, we get no respect. No respect, I tell ya.

SKOL VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest and practice.

Rest up Vikes and get some good practices in over the next few days. It will be tough in Green Bay but if the team plays up to their potential, the Vikes should be tied for the NFC North Division lead next Sunday at this time.

I don’t think Green Bay will be that tough. Our ‘injury’ problems are NOTHING compared to the Pack.

Percy

What a great return! what a great game! What a great WIN! Skol Vikings!

by TexasViking on Oct 17, 2010 8:03 PM CDT reply actions  

I just love it when it suddenly becomes obvious who the fastest player on the field is,

and he’s a Viking, and 2nd ain’t even close. He played high school ball 4 miles from my home and it looked liked today x10 on every play. It was only a matter of time… God bless Percy!

Pirates, Vikings, Hokies. I'm used to heartbreak. At least I have the Penguins....

Good win, Vikes

Definitely needed that one.

2-3

I don’t know if Percy’s return turned the season around, but it is certainly more salvageable now.

It will be tough to beat NE, NYG, WAS, PHI and I don’t think it’s safe to say that the Vikes will sweep the division games this year. That’s probably 5 losses (8-8), so they may as well look at the next 3 weeks’ worth of games as must-win situations in terms of having a real shot at the playoffs.

Aikman-Buck

The commercial of those two when they both took a break and everyone was pampering Troy while ignoring Buck was an instant classic. Especially when Buck sarcastically asked for a water at the end and someone threw it at him. Whoever that was, nice shot!
