Maybe we’re getting soft in our old age. Maybe we’ve seen it so many times that we’re a little numb to it now. But last night’s game didn’t seem all that upsetting. In fact, we pretty much moved on immediately after it was over. Hey, the Vikings lost by five points on the road to a good team. And we lost in fantasy football because Ryan Grant was stopped at the 6-inch line once and the 2-yard line another time. These are the things that happen. Now: the finer points of what happened during the game will (hopefully) be discussed in greater detail a little later on. But for now, three things: 1) Have you ever reached a similar point as a fan, where you handle things much more rationally than you did in the past? 2) The idea of a Wing Tasting Party was fantastic, as was the execution. Wings from five different shops were represented: Buffalo Wild Wings, Big Ten, Legends, Runyon’s and Rudolph’s. All of them brought something to the table. We highly recommend such a tasting. To complete the feast, Local Quipster’s special lady friend made a Tom Brady cake, complete with bandage-kneed Ken doll. Terrific. 3) The night before the Vikings/Packers game, we had a really strange dream. We moved to New York without any real plan. The pug and the RBBH seemed very confused to be there. But we were still covering Minnesota sports teams and we kept playing phone tag on an interview with — get ready — former Vikings defensive end Talance Sawyer, whom we have never met nor interviewed. Can we get a little help on that one?

Updated to reflect the correct day.
