Family bragging rights on the line tonight on Monday Night Football.
Patriots AT Vikings.
Since I'm shipping up to Boston for Thanksgiving this game is even more important, so I can talk shite face to face.
There is no way I am sitting at another Thanksgiving dinner (at the kids table I might add...even if I'm 22 and was bigger than the rest of my family when I was 12) listening to them go on about the Pats and how they are better than the Vikings.
Its time for the Northmen to do the business and get a win here to move to a surprising 5-2.
I am the lord Thor,
I am the war god,
I am the thunderer,
Here in the Northland,
My fastness and fortress
Reign I, FOREVER!
GO VIKINGS

My 11 thoughts on the Monday Night game between the Patriots and the Vikings.
I am going to try my best not to use the word fuck too much or any other swear word for that matter, but it won't happen.
My thoughts as the game was in progress....
1. Could the entire MNF crew get their tongue out of Brady's ass just a few times a game to comment on something else? Don't get me wrong he usually doesn't get enough hype...but please, control yourself.
I bet Peyton Manning can NOT WAIT for a Monday Night game so he can get the most ass to face he's had since his college years. Tony will help him out, he doesn't have to accost a female trainer this time.
2. When did the Vikings sign Brett Farve? I haven't seen this poor of a performance in a long time. Three interceptions and counting. Honestly, I can do that. Sign me. I swear to god I was getting shades of Brett Farve in the playoffs recently when I was watching this game either that or the Vikings really didn't give Culpepper to Miami.
3. Since when did the NFL become the NBA where they give all their stars and fairweather teams phantom calls? First the Packers, and now the Patriots.
People think I am joking about how many legitimate times the Vikings get screwed, but I hope they see for themselves tonight after all these blown calls. YOU know when they had that fumble you thought they would give that call to the Patriots...like all the other calls. This time the result didn't matter...but it has in the past.
See Vikings/Packers and Vikings/Eagles...among others. I wonder if yet another letter from the NFL apologizing will show up at the Vikes office this week. They should start a collection and post them on the walls of the locker room. Players might see that and realize they won't get help from the refs, they have to win it themselves.
4. Its clear, to make the step up from mediocre, this team needs a quarterback but they are never in a good spot to draft one because they don't suck it up every season like the Lions. That and they had Red McCombs for years. After clamoring for a pay raise, Johnson might want to reevaluated his "worth".
5. At least the run defense works. This zone coverage is fucking killing the team.
6. The Patriots are that good (Johnson and Brooks clearly are not helping or this would be close). I hate my family, I'm going to take too much shit for this.
7. Brooks Bollinger? OH GOD. Tirico also coins the term "Sack-trick". This could be one of the worst Vikings games I have yet to watch...minus the 13 bad calls in the 4th quarter to let the Packers win by cheating game a few years ago. We need some new rules which include "don't draft players from Wisconsin". CLEARLY Brooks as a badger in disguise did even worse to make the loss more humiliating.
Tarvaris Jackson...get healthy ASAP.
8. Was Coach Bed-Check originally a gambler in the 1930s? I haven't seen anything like that except in corrupt boxing rings where you can change a call or decision like that. What a joke. See #3. Amazing how you can turn a complete pass...into an incomplete pass and then the refs have the audacity to uphold the decision when clearly as ALL THE EVIDENCE SHOWS it was complete.
Thanks guys. Top job. Fuck you.
9. Taunting? Pure class by the Pats. Gotta love the holier-than-thou rep, which obviously means absolutely nothing.
10. At least Moore showed up. Where was the rest of the team?
11. HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MOVING THE VIKINGS TO LA. Fuck you ESPN. If that ever happens, I will stop watching the NFL entirely.
WE MUST BEAT UNITED!
