I'd like to pop in here from time to time as the season goes on, especially if/when you guys are doing well.


If your avatar isn't showing immediately, something is wrong. Maybe it's larger than 220x220 pixels? Maybe you didn't hit the save button at the end of the process?

Let me know if you need help...

We'll check on that. Where did you leave it?

Currently basking in the glow of schadenfreude after watching Blair Walsh's miss move the Seahawks closer to elimination from playoff contention, it's the 2nd game he's cost them this year.

For those that don't know, he was the kicker the Vikings drafted and the same one who shanked a last second feel goal attempt in 2015 eliminating us from the playoffs and allowing the Seahawks to advance.

Oh Happy Day! :D

Not sure what you mean.

I reduced the pixel size to below 200 both ways (made it very grainy BTW), and it's still telling me it's too big.

I hate the stupid Vikings. Always have. Always will. Sorry if I can't be nice to their fans, but I guess it's because I have such deep hatred for that team. It's caused me too much pain over too many decades to just let it go.

When standing face to face with your famous Guard from the 1970's, Ed White, I held back nothing. I told him in no uncertain terms what I thought of that team that used to beat us in the playoff through the strangest of circumstances. Of course, it was over hot fudge sundae's at Ghirardelli's while laughing, but I meant every word. It's in my DNA :)

PS. I told him to tell Bud Grant, next time he saw him (which I guess was quite often), that I hated him too!

Bud's in his 90's and could still whip your ass....lol

Did you see him in short sleeves at the playoff game in 2015? The one that was like 6 degrees below zero at kickoff? Even old and broken, he's a bad man!

I honestly vaguely remember the team in the 70's, I was a toddler, but I get the hate factor of teams that have tortured fans over the years.

I love your passion.. A passion driven by pain you received by these guys when you were in your formative years. Meeee to.
Grant was an iconic coach. So was Allen,, they just got over on us.... It's our turn and last week wasn't the way it is.
