This is my football team.
They are what I say they are.
They can do what I say they can do.
This year they will dominate the NFL. They will crush the Redskins tonight, and then continue their dominance all the way to the Super Bowl.
Their defense is alert, their receivers are receptive, they are about to go on an indestructible, incorruptible winning streak.
They will never be the same.
Never, never, never.
Update: Hey, it worked! Who says Joel doesn't know what he's talking about?



After yesterday, and I realize the Packers will be rebuilding for a couple seasons, you need to watch out for the Bears.

Such false hope you have, the Vikings always have and always will lose. Even when they were good back in the 70's the 'Steel Curtain' still shut them down. You should prepare yourself for another season of disappointing and heart breaking losses. If you want me to I could pick you up some Steelers gear so you could cheer for a team that will win a few games. :)

I'm trying to figure out if you are being searious or if you are just trying to pull a "Joel Osteen".

Doug-
I don't fear the Bears. They may have looked good yesterday, but let's see how they look against an NFL team.
Ben-
You need to read this book (particularily chapter 4): http://www.amazon.com/True-Believers-Tragic-Inner-Sports/dp/0641572964/sr=8-2/qid=1158028432/ref=sr_1_2/103-3856701-9728610?ie=UTF8&s=books
Frank-
I'm at the end of my rope here as a Vikings fan. I'll try anything.

Hah, well that's better then me. At least you're still hang'n on to the rope.
I can't say I've held on the whole time.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can use the Olsteen method to get my beloved Rams back here in LA?
