I just wanted to thank all you guys at the Acme Packing Company for allowing me and a couple other guys to come over here and discuss things about yesterdays game without running us out of town on a rail.  I appreciate you guys as fans, and appreciate a very interesting game yesterday!  FYI to anyone who was aware of "The Bet", i got my diet mountain dew today, but bought my old band teacher lunch to show there were no hard feelings!!  thanks again, all! 

I'll admit that i'm a little pissy about the game and the way it played out.  i didn't get to see all the drama at the end of the game as i had to go back to church this evening, but from what i was getting on my handy-dandy pocket talky-box, it wasn't going well and i had to keep from freaking in the fellowship hall...  be that as it may, this is a good team to lose to, and still keep our street cred, and at least we didn't look like fucking clown shoes against the bungals (although they are quite good)

just to let you guys know that i have created another fantasy league on fleaflicker for anyone thats interested.  if you are let me know and i'll get you hooked up.  name of it is daily norseman 3 and it is a private league.  password is bearssuck (last time i checked, they do).  anyhow i'm not sure how many words i've got left til 75 and i'm trying to type this next to a sleeping sick baby and a snoring wife in the dark.  does this thing have a word counter? that'd be handy..  i'm starting to sound like an idiot....  Thats all i got.

Watching The Herd this morning.  don't know if any of you like Colin Cowherd and I know some people around here don't like Trent Dilfer, but they made some good points about the "schism". To paraphrase, they both said, quite emphatically that it basically wasn't a popularity contest.  A leader, in any locker room from the NFL down to high school football is going to alienate some other players.  Not every player in pro football is, in fact, a professional.  I think both of them actually made valid arguments that BF doesn't have to be popular.  he has to be a leader.  He has to get in the face of anyone else thats dogging on a play. In my humble opinion, leaders are present anywhere.  when I played rugby in college, I was one of the few people that would get in anybody's face if they were screwing around or playing dirty.  Not to say that I was a leader, per se, but I definitely didn't take any shit from guys that made the team look bad or that were sandbagging.  As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if BF is popular, it matters if he gets the job done and keeps some of the younger players in line.  We wouldn't think a single thing if Jared Allen chewed someones ass for screwing around or wasn't all that popular with some of the other players, because he produces and he is a leader.  If Trent D-bag thinks this whole thing is BS, everyone should.

Wow, stay the hell away from the vikings site on yahoo.  There are at least two stories on there about 17 Jan 99. I'm sure we all remember that one.  so yeah, I just read both the stories on there and I got all pissy all over again.  Lol, it should have been a good day, drinking with my dad at age 18, because who doesn't want to have a couple beers watching the vikings go to the super bowl.  Boy oh boy did that all go crashing in.  anyway, stay clear, unless you want to go through black sunday all over again.  fun fun.
