I'd like to start by saying that today is a good day to be a Packer fan, seeing how we've won three straight and our team looks very good.  There should be a fun Monday night game this week against another good team that's just a little worse than we are.  But there's been something that was bothering me for the last few weeks.  Our rivals The Vikings have just been playing too damn well (using our leftovers no less), and they won't even do me the service of losing one game.  The loss to the Steelers was some time ago.  Can't I just have ONE perfect football weekend?  I had high hopes for the Bears game after I heard that A.P. might not play.  I thought that maybe Favre would have yet another bad day against Lovie Smith and Peanut Tillman if they were allowed to play actual coverage, something that Favre has yet to face this season.  I though that perhaps Jay Cutler could have a comeback game against a division rival.  But alas, A.P.  played and Da Bears got dominated in every concievable way, and I lost some hope of ever seeing the Vikings lose another game, right up to the Super Bowl. 

But then, I looked at the matchups for this coming week.  Instant. Boner.  Vikes-Cards.  As soon as I saw that, I truly remembered who we're talking about.  It all came flooding back.  We're talking about the Vikings.  Yes, those Vikings, the ones who have never EVER won a Super Bowl, the ones who got beaten 41-0 in the last NFC Championship in which they attended, the ones who couldn't even beat the Eagles last year, who's last playoff victory was handed to them on a silver platter by the quarterback who suits up for them now (And that happened SIX years ago or something), the Vikings that we always, just somehow happen to come out on top over.  The ones gave away the division on the final play of the season to the very same Cardinals that they play this week back in 2003.  It's hilarious to think now that I once thought that I could no longer delight in the Vikings misery.  I thought they might go the Super Bowl!  Did you see the Saints tonight?  The Vikes don't have a fireball's chance in the Tundra of beating them.  So I typed this little ditty up to share my joy with all of you, in the realization that no matter what the Vikings record is, they are the Vikings, and thus they just plain suck.  So I'd to take this moment to remember and celebrate that faitful afternoon with some delightful videos from youtube.  I'm sure that we'll be seeing the play on ESPN and during the game, but frankly that's not quite enough for me.
