With the New Orleans Saints 31 to 28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, my hopes... the hopes of die-hard Vikings fans everywhere—were crushed once again. We all hoped that this year they might-go-all-the-way!
Late in the season when they started losing their road games, we all braced for the worst. Then, they seemed to have a chance. Even on Sunday, they could have easily won the NFC title, except that they couldn’t control the ball. Fumbles and interceptions setup a win for the Saints and sent Vikings fans into disbelief; as we watched the team self-destruct in a painful-to-watch game.
And what about Brett Favre? He did win me over, even though I wasn’t a supporter of bringing him to the Vikings back in August.
All season, I refrained from blogging about the team because I was afraid that if I rejoiced, the Vikings would self-destruct. But, in the end, even if I’m disappointed—it was just a game… right?
