Just a few thoughts right after my Vikings turned over a chance to return to the Super Bowl.
This one wont hurt anywhere near eleven years ago against the Falcons. I still have nerve damage from that game, which will no doubt help me avoid future pain in games like this.
I do hope Favre's legacy doesn't end up being that he fumbled away his last two NFC Championship games. But that is what happened, so it will be interesting to see how Vikings fans hold him in their hearts in the future.
I will be dreaming tonight that Brett decided to ramble, hobble, or hop six yards to get Longwell a chance to win it. I'm serious...I almost always have dreams after big emotional losses, and in the dreams the game isn't over yet.
Oh well. Not sure whom I'll pull for in the Super Bowl; probably the Saints when I'm over this. Let the fumble jokes begin.
What did Brett Favre order at the New Orleans McDonald's? A Hot Cajun Turnover.
Needs work, I know...

1998 (played in 1999) was one of the hardest losses for me. This one didn't compare mainly because I was well prepared.
I'm glad to know that new Viking fans like my nephews are beginning to know the same suffering we've been through for years.
ESPN's "Sports Guy" Bill Simmons has a nice write-up, placing the Vikings #2 as most tortured franchise.

I actually started following football (vikes games only) about 5 years ago. Todd, did you go to any games last year? I dropped like $1500 going to AZ to watch the Cardinals debacle. 1st Vikes game ever...I think ? The worst part was being surrounded by Cardinals fans who missed no chance to 'rub it in'. I couldn't even get a light outside the stadium because I was wearing purple beads. We should get together next fall and catch a game or two. No rush. Just kidding !! ;)
This joke doesn't apply so much anymore, but here goes:
How many packer fans does it take to change a light bulb ?
1 to change it and 49 to talk about how great the old one was.
Not sure how I missed this comment, but hey, there's no statute of limitations (and if there is, it's probably more than three years). So, yeah, let's get to some games. But maybe next year. :)
