Hey, I don't bring the Vikings trophies up anymore in arguments. I just ask why people root for a team that's going to play in LA?

Can you blame Packer fans? I mean......the team you cheer for has NEVER won the big one. So instead of getting upset with Packer fans, why not turn your anger to where it belongs? ON THE VIKINGS for letting you down year after year after year......
I have heard Viking fans saying "Oh yeah? Well it's been 13 years since your team won a Super Bowl!" Can you believe that???? I just laughed!!!

Because it's my right not to when my team has beaten her team not once, but TWICE, this season.

No it's not. That was way back. We're a totally different team right now. I hate it when Viking fans bring up this argument.

Not my fault AP couldn't get more than 1.5 yards a carry. My child-like exuberance can only win us so many games on its own.




That was pretty funny

If I took your advice, I'd be looked upon as a bandwagon fair weather fan. BTW, why do you think Minnesota has such a hard problem with getting the Vikings their stadium? The Twins got theirs.. The Gophers got theirs.. Why else do you think there's 'threats' of black outs every home game (although most of those are just media hacks just stirring the pot to get hits on their websites/etc.)? Because the casual fans are sick of the Vikings for the let downs in years past.

But, instead of looking at those people and saying, "Wow, good job! Way to stand up to your team and NOT put up with their losing ways!" NFL fans in general call Viking fans bandwagon fair weather fans.

Difference is.. How often do you fools hear how badly your team got swept by my team? I'd imagine pretty often.

I promise you, though.. It stacks up to NOTHING when compared to how often we've been hearing about our 'empty trophy case' from you guys (Yes, I'm generalizing a bit, but point still stands).

I automatically shut out the other person when they bring up that fact. It's tried. It's worn. It's LAME. Use some brain power and come up with something more intelligent, then we can discuss football.

It would be like me harping on EVERY Badger football fan on how little National Championship trophies they have, and how many my Golden Gophers got. EVERY. FUCKING. DISCUSSION.

I would look like a tool, right? Now.. turn the mirror around and reflect for a second...

I wouldn't mind. I can't watch college ball, anyway. Lol.

But I agree with you. I don't use that argument. If anything, you're a better fan for sticking with a team that hasn't actually won anything yet. Not saying that that's the case over here, there are enough loyal Packer fans, but when it comes to the thropy argument, the Vikings are in the same boat as the Lions.

Maybe a little worse, as the Lions do have 4 NFL Championships.

It says so little about your current team. It just isn't a valid argument when discussing who's the better team at this point.

That said, if Viking fans go and just shout crap like 'the Fudge Packers Suck', of course you get back with an argument like that. What else is there to say? I'm not going to explain why the Packers have vastly improved from the start of the season to someone like that.

And, of course, it's just funny to see a Viking fan react. Just look at what you did yourself because of it. Lol.

I have NEVER called true Vikings fans "fair weather". I in fact applaud them for sticking by their team. I think you know that, Formo. Using the "You never won a SB" for me at least, is ONLY used in fun, as a "jab". I ONLY use it to be nasty when the rare occasional dick Viking fan starts lipping off.
Yes, your team beat my team twice this year. Thats fact. But at the end of the season, whoever holds up the Vince Lombardi trophy will have the last laugh.
WHATEVER team it ends up being.

I know Cheesey. My post wasn't directed at you in a offensive manner, but with my hat in my hand manner. I've never had issues with you being a person that I described in my previous post.

    Zero2Cool (8h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

    Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
