Quick Mets thought:

Kudos to the New York Mets for saving everyone the time, and blowing the NL East in May this year. I really appreciate it. I mean it’s not like you have the 2nd highest payroll in the entire MLB. Maybe you should just use that money as toilet paper, or macramé perhaps, rather than lock up Oliver Perez for 12 mill a year. I can’t believe this isn’t a bigger story. It’s a disgrace. Even the Nationals feel bad, and are taking them under their wing, showing them how losing is really done. “When guys get on base, don’t get mad, they’ll probably end up scoring anyway. Just think about the pizza party after the game at Chuck E. Cheese, that’s what we do.”

(Too soon?)

Having said that…

The Vikings are incredibly exciting. In fact, they are easily the most entertaining team in the entire NFL. If we were a bigger market, I think that ESPN would have already created an ESPNV channel to simply cover them. (Hmm I seem to remember predicting how entertaining this team would be??).

The only fair comparison is that the Vikings ARE the really really drunk girl at a party. Let me explain.

There’s one at every party. This gives every sober/buzzing person endless enjoyment. It is edge-of-your-seat stuff. Did she just fall over for no apparent reason? Who’s handle is she drooling over now? Did she just throw up on an ottoman? You absolutely never know what is going to happen next.

The Vikings are the same way:

Brett Favre: While announcers doing everything short of getting to third base with him, he is trying his best to suppress his gunslinging instincts, and all the while slapping ref’s behinds after touchdowns, jumping around like a little kid, and oh yeah, PLAYING FOR HIS OLD TEAM OF 17 YEARS ARCHRIVAL.

Adrian Peterson: Could break an 80 yard run on this handoff, could fumble in immediately. Only god knows.

Percy Harvin: Sooooo electric.(I said ooh girl. Shock me like an electric eel… Possible new MGMT theme music?? Think about it Percy) He’s one of those guys where even though I know how fast he is, I still cringe and oooh and ahh as people look silly attempting to tackle him.

Jared Allen - Jared Allen posted a video on youtube of him spearing an Elk, and shooting a buffalo with a bow and arrow. Also, check out his priceless T-Shirts. Hilarious, all posed by Jared and with matching descriptions: http://shop.jaredallen69inc.com/index.php?cPath=1_4

Also, just so we are on the same page: The man has a mullet.

Cedric Griffin/Benny Sapp- Remain cornerbacks that play for our team.

Brad Childress- You never know if he’s going to kick the extra point down 2: http://lessrock-moretalk.blogspot.com/2008/10/vikings.html Or run when he should pass, or finally laugh maniacally and declare he actually has never played/coached football ever, and can’t believe he’s gotten away with it for this long.

You never know what is going to happen. The Vikings are that drunk girl, and here’s to them never sobering up.

I'm serious...you...you..you could be a comedian
