Fumbles aside, how in the hell do you end up with 12 guys in the huddle COMING OUT OF A TIMEOUT!!! I had a Mike Tice flashback. Kicked right square in the groin, again. I was wrong about "it's not IF the Vikes lose, but when." Correctly stated - "it's not if, it's when ... and HOW!"

How did the Vikes lose?
Just look at the bottom two statistics

TOTAL FIRST DOWNS 31 15
TOTAL NET YARDS 475 257
Total Off. Plays 82 55
NET YARDS RUSHING 165 68
NET YARDS PASSING 310 189
Gross yards passing 310 197
TIME OF POSSESSION 36:49 27:56
PENALTIES No. and Yards 5-32 9-88
FUMBLES No. and Lost 6-3 3-1
No.andYards Interception Returns 0-0 2-29

Can't wait for draft day!

For those who remember sports writer Jim Klobuchar, here's his take:

The Vikings pick number 30. I can't wait for the draft party!

"His rookie year he wore a leather helmet." That's funny stuff.

Dear Brett,
Thanks for beating the Vikings one last time.
Sincerely,
The Packers Fans

My Vikings source had some interesting tidbits today. Sage is gone. (Sage's wife is due any day and she HATES the cold. Either that or she is gone. JK. Look for Sage to land in Arizona and the Vikings to get Colt at #30.)

Favre will be back next year but the big news will be Superfreak will be back in purple. The signing of Moss will bring Brent back for one more season. I'm thinking Super Bowl next year - as long as Chilli doesn't blow it again.

Fire Childress.

Brett Favre and Randy Moss??? That wouldn't sell any tickets would it?

Childress on communication with LT coming to visit:

Childress said, "but I always want to over-communicate clarity so we won't hopscotch around that. We'll have to show him what his role will be."

Genius - if you don't communicate clearly it leads to hopscotch.
