Your New Vikings Highlight Video Of The Indeterminate Time Period

by Christopher Gates on Jun 15, 2011 8:50 PM CDT in Minnesota Vikings 2009 Season

Strangely enough, Viking fans that frequent Viking sites seem to like videos of the Vikings that don't involve the roof of their stadium collapsing and things of that nature. God bless research, huh?

So, why not go back to the game that could very well. . .and, unfortunately. . .signify the peak of our excitement over the last couple of seasons. . .the 2009 Divisional Playoffs against the Dallas Cowboys.

I have not yet received word as to whether or not Cowboys' linebacker Keith Brooking is still crying about that last touchdown pass to Visanthe Shiancoe.

I never understood all the asinine arguments about the Vikings "running up the score" in this one, either. On the drive prior to the last Vikings' TD pass, the Cowboys were down by 24 points, and were still running to the line after each play and spiking the ball and calling time outs like they still had a chance to win the football game.

Apparently a lot of people were, as the kids today like to say, "butthurt" because they didn't want the Dallas Cowboys to stop playing hard and stop trying to win the football game. . .they simply wanted the Minnesota Vikings to stop playing hard and stop trying to win the football game. Whatever.

In any case, enjoy the Paul Allen-narrated highlights, ladies and gentlemen.

Another highlight of that game

Was watching Aikman getting close to shedding tears as the Vikes smashed the Boys into the ground

For me, The highlight was...

…the middle finger on Favre’s right hand sticking up as he threw that last TD pass to Shank.

This isn’t Pee-Wee football, these are the NFL playoffs. There is no such thing as “running up the score.”

Does watching the Vikings win ANY game, ever get old?

No. No it doesn’t. I think I’ll watch those highlights again after this comment. :)

And as for “running up the score”, why is it that no one ever complains when other teams “run up the score” when the Vikings are on the down-side? I never hear the complaint then.

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!

That game was...

…absolute magic, as was the entire season. Though it still hurts a little thinking about what happened the game after that.

I think people around here were upset because of all the insane trash talking the Cowboy fan base was doing on DN

I’m sure you all remember the influx of Cowboy fans and their rampant homerisms for the Cowboys. How they were looking to shut down Favre and AD was going to get 40 yards all game..

Was sweet going over there after wards and giving them a simple, better luck next season…biyatch’s.

Childress gone, TJack gone, new stadium on the way: it's like that Christmas when Santa brought prostitutes!

I only regret that I have...

not yet seen the final score in which Keith died of embarrassment.

Bittersweet

Watching that video is like finding an old picture of the girl of your dreams who you thought you’d marry, until she dumped you the next week.

I really thought that was our year – so many people were picking the Cowboys, and we utterly destroyed them.

Sigh….

SKOL VIKES!!!!

I just loved the lead-up to the game.
It didn’t seem like anyone was giving the Vikings a chance for that entire week prior to the game, which amazed me, considering- #1. they consistently played better than the Cowboys all year and #2. had not lost at home all season.

In the words of the late, great Rodney Dangerfield- No respect!

Cowboys got hot at the end of the season and all the sudden Romo and crew were the ‘team of destiny’. HA! Get the hell out of our house with that. That was easily one of the most enjoyable games all year- especially the reactions from some of my cocky Dallas fans.
