I ain't drank the koolaid yet this year!

Sadly, I address the forum run by the fine Gonzo, with our beloved Vikings sitting at 0-2. Last year I drank the #4 Purple KoolAid after he won so many games, and embraced Brett. Sadly, we blew that game in the fourth quarter to a team we should have dominated. It is nice to see AD not dropping the ball all day, and I pray for poor Percy after his personal loss of his Grandmother, and his bouts with those damned migraines he suffers from. I rarely get headaches but when I do they are the Ice pick through the eyeball type, and from what I've Migraines are sometimes blinding! Now to the hardest part of the discussion, #4. As the header states, I haven't drank the #4 KoolAid yet, I stuck a spoon in the cup, and put it in the freezer (I actually bought purple popcicles to simulate this), and when he shows the greatness he displayed last year, I will ceremoniously eat the KoolAid.

Sage Rosenfeld, should NEVER have been allowed to leave the team. The preseason game where he threw for 300 yards and three TD's cheered my hope for this season to infinity. I am not anti-semetic, and I have Jewish Viking fan friends who gave him the nickname, "#2 The Magic Jew" cause they were so proud of a Jewish Vikings QB who showed such powerful promise. I'm not racist either Gonzo, I don't allow the N word to be used in my presence without letting the person know I am offended by that word. So that being said, Sage should be our starter, not Brett, who again pulled his little "drama queen" summer soap opera in Mississippi. I was sickened by it, sure he had his most productive year ever wearing the Purple and Gold, but he turned out to last season's Randall Cunningham. Hell, we got Randall for the league minimum of $800,000. Damn cheap to roll over everyone but the Giants in the NFC championship game. I don't who that team was that showed up that year, but I seriously debated with other football fans that that game was fixed! 48-0, with Moss, Carter. and Cunningham, I watched that game till the last second, with tears rolling down my cheeks, my son laughing "they can't win Dad, give it up!" I told him, a true fan goes down with his team, no matter what. But does anyone really think we would be 0-2 with Sage behind the center? Hells Bells, the Ravens got Matt Birk? How did they let that Harvard educated bad mutha go? I don't understand. All Birk asked for two seasons ago, or last maybe (early onset Alzheimers here, no joke) was to garauntee (sic) his salary for the next season, I he would put off his knee surgery. Well, he IS a Havard MBA, and had a talk radio show on how people could make the most of the money in Minnesota. Ziggy said no, so Birk had his surgery. Who can blame him, I would wanna walk better if I could (car wreck mutliple tip fib fractures), so more power to him. He got paid to sit on the sidelines, but that meant he could prolly walk when he retires. Anyone seen him play for the Ravens? Anyways, this might make some people mad, but as I said I ain't drank the KoolAid, and in true Viking fashion, we got an aging old man to be our QB. I wish Tom Clancy had gotten the Vikings, at least then we would have a fan owner, like Red!

Sorry to be so wordy, but I bleed frikken PURPLE! I told that to a counselor the other day, and said we lost a second game, and he got all in my face, about how I shouldn't say "WE" because I am not on the team. I told him that he didn't know anything about what being a true fan is, and if he was the baffled by my love of the Vikings, then I don't think he would ever understand enough to help me, and I'm looking for a new counselor. That said, the hard truth is I wish in the early conditioning rounds the Three Vikes had gone down and told Brett, get your ass to training, or retire! Not waited on his aged butt to sit out the real camps that would have shown whether he had his stuff anymore or not. He could have had that surgery earlier, like the day after he and AD's fumbling lost us the NFC championship game. That woulda given me more faith in #4. I dunno, I'm just not feeling it, this season, HE WAS A PACKER! HE WON HIS RING AND MVP trophy with the Pack. AND I KNOW, that he will sign some bull crap contract to a Packers for one day, like Emitt Smith did with Dallas, and get his damn jersey retired in Wisconsin. I dunno, at least the Gators are undefeated, and the Allouettes show some promise. Later Bro's and please someone post the URL in case the game is blacked out in Virginia, in favor of a regional game, lke skins, panthers. If we win this weekend, then I will eat the KoolAid, if not, I'll try to get on a stronger anti-depressant.

LeatherRebel, I had to vent to people who understand my pain, Gonzo, I hope I offended no one!
