The Vikings just got a little less fun to watch.

s1rweeze … were you referring to Henderson or the blogger? Either way, I concur.

Can’t Studwell just suit up instead?

When will blogging while driving become an arrestable offense?

Is it legal to do that… Drive with a hood on?

I’ll bite. I know I didn’t pay close attention (and why considering this guy’s serious take on anything) but what the Hell !! I also know my pearls of wisdom have often maliciously been construed as coming from the Unibomber’s little shack in the woods (he could see Alaska from there) but this guy looks like the ‘bomber !! I mean I’m not playing the 3 + minutes again to discover the joke, but at this state of the game does anyone really care one way or the other what the Vikings do ? Jees !!

newbie, the hood is legal. It’s the Starter jacket that’s not.

I hope he’s at the redactular with an early draft of his Power Point.

I got arrested once for driving with my redactular out of my pants. I probably would have gotten away with it but it was dragging on the ground.

The mark of a good sportscaster… having only 1 camera that you share with your wife.

Question: does the site of the Redactular only allow those 21+ in the bar after a certain time? I’m assuming a fairly good portion of the evening will be spent in said bar. Oh, and I’ll probably be there between 8 and 830.

UofM2010 says:

Never mind - the complementary entertainment is 21+, so I will not be attending. Boo-urns. Rand, I’ll mail you a check for the shirt soon - my debut will have to wait.

What? A Gopher without a fake ID?

UofM2010 says:

Yup. A cheap[redacted] Gopher without a fake. I’ve got my suppliers for that

The third quarter is barely underway so I know y’all have seen the same game I have, so I’d like to ask ..have you ever seen a game of such flukes like this..Winfield coming around tackle and hitting Brees and recovering for a td (a good play)..but earlier returning a blocked field goal that bounced right into his hands (that one was sheer luck)…or that missed face mask call on Bush (when at least one ref should have his eyes on the runner at all times)..or that fumble that wasn’t called on Peterson because he was still holding the ball (though it was moving around..a moving ball in the grasp always called a fumble except in this bizarro game…

Who knows who will win this game, but if I was a betting man, I’d bet the Vikings have already placed their bets with these refs, but I’ve seen lucky games before but if this is the only way the vikings can win, despite the old adage, the best team didn’t..

What 1/2 were these announcers (esp that bald and ugly nasally one) talking when they talked of the Vikings coming from behind ? The second 1/2 where this second rate team held on by it’s teeth to win only by a Saint’s field goal miss ?..or the first 1/2 where they didn’t need to come from behind already being ahead because of blind luck and referee incompetence alone, but if Purple fans are proud, so be it. I see your women in the mall and know your desperation..some phrase about lipstick covering

Anyway I loved all those false starts because of dome crowd noise !!..can anyone say Purple Karma up your arse…and would anyone trade a fast asleep All Nite Peterson for a Reggie bush… I and 1/2 the planet would, since we predicted Peterson would only be a one seaon wonder once teams got his predictable number…and, lastly, listening to and esp. looking at the maniacal eyes of Kevin Wiliams I say he’s a felon within 3 yrs of leaving pro ball..he in prison. Phat dying of a heart attack in the same 3 yrs…I’ll cover any bets

148 - 79 - 143

Yep, those were my bowling scores and, not surprisingly, my bowling career in a nutshell.

Fun time, everyone. I think the shirt will enter my pool league Sunday rotation.

Reading P3 So You Don’t Have To

If I drink enough of whatever this is, I can come to grips with the Vikings and Packers having the same record.

Coincidentally, the combined measurements of Joker’s last four girlfriends.

It’s funny because the math kind of works.

Gotta admit luck like that happens once a year, and isn’t anyone else noticing (as I often said) A.D. would never be the “Superstar” he was since Ds will bury him..besides he’s not running as hard..but enjoy your piece of luck…even shit doesn’t stink at times
