&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He has ALWAYS been in my Hall of Fame.  So awesome to see him finally make it into the official one.  He's one of the main reasons, if not THE reason, I was hooked at such an early age.  So full of talent, integrity and heart. Such a joy to watch for so many years!  Congrats to Cris Carter.  Truly one of the best to ever play the game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; He belongs in Yellowstone National Park.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's like he can't help himself.  He remains silent all season...plays the quiet mature veteran all year long.  I actually began to think he had grown up a bit.  But then he goes and says something like this.  Don't get me wrong,  I think he is an amazing receiver.  Loved his accomplishments in Minnesota.  But man...come on Moss!!  Let others sing your praises.  Don't do it yourself!  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This past week I've had the privilege of watching a good friend of mine, and Packer fan, suffer from the post playoff blues.  Luckily, he has me, an expert at navigating through the tumultuous waters of a season gone sour.  Unfortunately, I have a brother, (half brother) who's a Niners fan. Hopefully, after this weekend, I'll be able to extend the same hand of support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who I &lt;b&gt;THINK&lt;/b&gt; will go to the Superbowl:  49ers vs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-england-patriots&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Patriots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who I &lt;b&gt;HOPE&lt;/b&gt; goes to the Superbowl:   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/atlanta-falcons&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Falcons&lt;/a&gt; vs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/baltimore-ravens&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ravens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go Ravens...(closest thing to purple)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skol &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Vikings&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;/p&gt;

Why?  Well, I actually liked him at the beginning of last season.  But the more I watch...the more I dislike.  For starters, the little stunt he pulled in week 3, throwing, what, like 5 challenge flags?!?  And then the way he handled the Alex Smith situation....poor guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway...I'm supposed to be writing about why I hate the Packers.  But all I've been doing is complaining about Harbaugh!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well...I think my 8 yr old son put it best...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we were driving home from watching the game in silence....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said,&quot; Dad...I feel really sad.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I couldn't have agreed with him more.  And I went on to remind him (and myself) of all their accomplishments this season.  I'm so excited to see this young team mature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As requested, I'm going to compile all of my drawings from this season into one post.  And I'll continue posting during the offseason...I've been having so much fun drawing this Viking character.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As requested, I'm going to compile all of my drawings from this season into one post.  And I'll continue posting during the offseason...I've been having so much fun drawing this Viking character.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for all the kind words.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skol &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Vikings&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's nothing better than watching the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/green-bay-packers&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt; lose to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Vikings&lt;/a&gt;!  What a great game last week!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm loving &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/108433/everson-griffen&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Everson Griffen&lt;/a&gt;...and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/155038/jarius-wright&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Jarius Wright&lt;/a&gt;.  Those two have really stepped up and contributed to the team.  Nervous as heck about A.J Jefferson...and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/109964/marcus-sherels&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Marcus Sherels&lt;/a&gt;!  I havent checked the injury report, but I hope Winfield is playing!  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as Peterson's record...if they hadn't pulled him at the end of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/houston-texans&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Texans&lt;/a&gt; game, that record would be his!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Theres nothing sweeter than beating the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/chicago-bears&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Bears&lt;/a&gt;, oh wait, yes there is, beating the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/green-bay-packers&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt;!  I hope we get sweet revenge on them as well.  Anyway, heres the drawing I SHOULD'VE done for the Bears game.  I gave them a little too much credit in my last drawing.  In the famous words of our beloved former coach, &quot;They were who we thought they were...&quot;  (but we didnt let them off the hook.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other thoughts:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harrison Smith is quickly becoming one of my favorite defensive players!  So excited to watch him develop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The task may seem insurmountable...but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/minnesota-vikings&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Vikings&lt;/a&gt; can do it!  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's too many good players on this team for them to be playing like they have.  We know they can do it.  Its been rare, but we've seen Ponder spread the ball around.  We've seen the receivers make plays.  We've seen the defense step up.  We've seen great tackling.  We've seen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2351/jared-allen&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Jared Allen&lt;/a&gt;....a few times.  I'm so tired of listening to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/chicago-bears&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Bears&lt;/a&gt; fans.  Please, Vikings...please!

We've seen the receivers make plays.  We've seen the defense step up.  We've seen great tackling.  We've seen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2351/jared-allen&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Jared Allen&lt;/a&gt;....a few times.  I'm so tired of listening to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/chicago-bears&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Bears&lt;/a&gt; fans.  Please, Vikings...please!  Silence the Bears fans!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
