ya never know. Someday, perhaps. The Vikings should be good this year, and their coach will mostly not scalp tickets after their new owner saying that their coaches will not be the lowest paid in the league this year.
By the "hump" I assume you mean getting a Lombardi trophy?
I only watch NASCAR.
do you know what the average speed is in a NASCAR race? I heard earlier that in IRL it's something like 185.
Who will be playing the Patriots in this year's Super Bowl?
You have to put some of the blame on Anderson. He picked the absolute worse time to miss his only kick of the season.
the first hump is the AFC championship, the hill is the trophy. The way I see it, the Patriot players are wearing hikers with their ownership and coaching, and the other teams are all stuck wearing ballet slippers.
We call him DeKnee Green for a reason.
I thought he meant not winning the Super Bowl.
Cards? Pack? Vikings?
both
I was chatting with a Rams fan the other day who was convinced they were a SB favorite next year. I disagreed.
I'm listenting to the race on the radio and have the Sox-Yanks on TV.
Exactly! My brother used to race. I would watch 2 laps and then go do something. Mindless.
Well put. Do you get the NFL network?
Out of all his playoff losses the one that surprised me the most is when the Bears beat the Vikes at the dome in 1994.
If only, someday, perhaps
A lot of those losses surprised me. Anyway, my point is that the bigger the game, the less likely Dennis Green was to have his team ready to play.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it won't be the Packers.
Well he has gotten to the SB.
