The Vikings
If you have seen this man, please try to talk some sense into him... if not for me, for Vikings fans everywhere....
I'm going to be honest, I love the vikings. It's irrational. They have done nothing but raise my blood pressure, cause numerous seizures, and surely lowered by lifespan by 10+ years as I have cheered for them over the years. Vikings fans know to expect the worst. They know that when the DE comes unblocked off Culpeppers (step in the time machine with me right now) blind side, that he WILL fumble. You know that despite the fact there are approximately 15 defenders in the box, Childress WILL hand it off on third and 5.
-A Childress rant-
The score is 10-2. We finally mange to get a gift 80+ yard touchdown on a slant to Bernard "butterfingers" Berrian. So the score is now 10-8. I'm thinking..yes we go for 2, we will probably get it (its the lions, cmon) and it will be tied and we will win. But, we kick the extra point to make the score 10-9. Ok, lets analyse this. Neither team has shown that they can put up points at will at this time. It is 10-8 in the third quarter, What difference does adding that extra point make? Absolutely none. Zero. Ask any kid on the street who has played madden he would say go for 2. Thats right, a 13-year old pimply faced, voice cracking, socially awkward kid in his basement could have made the right call, but Childress...not so much. Please...anyone try to explain the extra point to me...Any logical reason will do. I was using swear words in so many different combinations when this happend I think there are no combinations in the english language that have been left unexplored. Thankfully, we ended up winning 12-10 because of a questionable pass interference call. But, I think Patrick Reusse/Jim Souhan/ insert cranky sports columnist here would have blown a gasket had the score ended 10-9
That being said Week 7 pick Vikes 24 Bears 17...(no going for 2 required)
