I GOT A FEELING THAT THIS YEAR’S GONNA BE THE VIKINGS’ YEAR! SKOOOOOOL!!!

| January 20, 2010

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Vl8YakINc Not trying to count any chickens before they hatch, but we have a big game this Sunday.  A big game that, if victorious, could lead to a VERY big Sunday afternoon in on February 7th.  There are talks in the midst about what to do or where to be if the Purple are victorious [...]

9 Pro-Bowlers deep … SKOL PURPLE PLAYOFFS!

| January 6, 2010

The brightest sports analysts studied all all possible playoff brackets before last week’s games and came up with 60+ different scenarios.  Well, I don’t need buddy and henry to crunch numbers all week to see how the playoffs will play out.  Place your bets in Vegas now people, the Purple Pride are taking home the [...]

Tzedakah Bowl Champions 2009

| December 30, 2009

In 2007, we had a dream.  In 2007 we accomplished that dream.  In 2008, we lost the dream, but in 2009 … we won it back. One of the best things the Jewish Federation of Minneapolis and St. Paul do each year, is an all day Flag Football tournament in the Metrodome on Christmas day.  [...]

“Ready (f)o(u)r not, here I come”

| August 18, 2009

I won’t say I called it 2 weeks ago, but if you didn’t see this coming a mile away, you don’t deserve to be a Purple fan.  Of course the case wasn’t closed and we were still expecting something to happen.  And of course Brett wouldn’t just decide “eh, i guess not” after all the [...]

Sconny Favre fans “band” together to mourn (sigh)

| July 22, 2009

One of my vikings RSS feeds sent me an article yesterday about how Wisconsin fans are dealing with the likely loss of their iconic figure to the Purple and Gold.  I am sure clothing distributors have sold more purple #4 jerseys than these black armbands, but it will be very interesting to see if this [...]

Did Chilly Hold Out for Brett?

| May 6, 2009

Well, I honestly thought all the rumors and talk were just that … talk.  But apparently there was actually some truth to this whole Favre and Vikings debacle afterall.  Last night ESPN declared that Childress and Favre will meet this week to discuss things, which goes against everything we’ve heard from Brett and his agent [...]

Favre to Vikings? Please lord no!

| April 29, 2009

Being from Minnesota, there is no name in sports that frustrates me more than Brett Favre.  Sure I have respect for the guy, he’s done a lot … but much of it was against the Vikings.  Godforbid he NOT break the TD record at the Metrodome a couple years ago, sheesh.  So, this morning reports [...]
