Well as the week goes on, I only have one thing on my mind... The Vikings. This blog is going to be short and sweet, I just needed to get some of my thoughts out there.
This weekend, the Vikings can and will begin to erase all of the nightmares that we suffered just over 11 years ago against Atlanta. If you don't know what I am talking about, you are either a 3 year old, or a Timberwolves fan. I don't need to elaborate.
I have said since training camp that if we got Brett Favre to play for us and to win a Superbowl, it would be such a great story that I would forever be a satisfied Vikings fan.
Getting Brett Favre to play for the Purple and Gold has not only been one of the greatest stories in sports history, but it has also brought a lot of attention to our team. Though attention does not get a team a new stadium, it can definatly help the cause. So as cliche as it is, we hated this man for years and years because he played for our biggest rival.. But after this year, he might have been the biggest influence in the push to keep the Vikings in Minnesota.
Does Favre need a little help along the way? Of course. He has brought out the best in the people that play around him and has brought an excitement to the Metrodome that has been absent since 1998. Shiancoe and Rice are arguably the best receiver/TE combo in the game.. AP and Chester are the best 1-2 back combo in the NFL..Our Defense is feeding off of the offensive success.. And we have the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.. That is a pretty good start.
This weekends game should be electric. Like I have been saying all week, "The Cowboys can build a billion dollar stadium, but it still doesn't give you the loudest fans in the NFL." Just wait until the Cardinals come to town next week.
Until next time,
JCL IV
