Can someone post an internet hookup for a poor boy in Virginia, the AFC has the Double Header on CBS, and the Fox station here is showing the much hated Deadskins at 3 (GOOO RAMS) Please hook a Fellow Viking Fan up, and let me know where I can catch the game. Last weeks hook up for the dolphin game was excellent, and I can't remember who posted it, but I do appreciate it whoever your were!! I'll wait on pins and needles for the post, if it already has been posted, please tell me the post to look for or clip a link! SKOL Bros and Sis's, LeatherRebel sitting by the keys

Sadly, I address the forum run by the fine Gonzo, with our beloved Vikings sitting at 0-2. Last year I drank the #4 Purple KoolAid after he won so many games, and embraced Brett. Sadly, we blew that game in the fourth quarter to a team we should have dominated. It is nice to see AD not dropping the ball all day, and I pray for poor Percy after his personal loss of his Grandmother, and his bouts with those damned migraines he suffers from. I rarely get headaches but when I do they are the Ice pick through the eyeball type, and from what I've Migraines are sometimes blinding! Now to the hardest part of the discussion, #4. As the header states, I haven't drank the #4 KoolAid yet, I stuck a spoon in the cup, and put it in the freezer (I actually bought purple popcicles to simulate this), and when he shows the greatness he displayed last year, I will ceremoniously eat the KoolAid.

Sage Rosenfeld, should NEVER have been allowed to leave the team. The preseason game where he threw for 300 yards and three TD's cheered my hope for this season to infinity. I am not anti-semetic, and I have Jewish Viking fan friends who gave him the nickname, "#2 The Magic Jew" cause they were so proud of a Jewish Vikings QB who showed such powerful promise. I'm not racist either Gonzo, I don't allow the N word to be used in my presence without letting the person know I am offended by that word. So that being said, Sage should be our starter, not Brett, who again pulled his little "drama queen" summer soap opera in Mississippi. I was sickened by it, sure he had his most productive year ever wearing the Purple and Gold, but he turned out to last season's Randall Cunningham. Hell, we got Randall for the league minimum of $800,000. Damn cheap to roll over everyone but the Giants in the NFC championship game. I don't who that team was that showed up that year, but I seriously debated with other football fans that that game was fixed! 48-0, with Moss, Carter. and Cunningham, I watched that game till the last second, with tears rolling down my cheeks, my son laughing "they can't win Dad, give it up!" I told him, a true fan goes down with his team, no matter what. But does anyone really think we would be 0-2 with Sage behind the center? Hells Bells, the Ravens got Matt Birk? How did they let that Harvard educated bad mutha go? I don't understand. All Birk asked for two seasons ago, or last maybe (early onset Alzheimers here, no joke) was to garauntee (sic) his salary for the next season, I he would put off his knee surgery. Well, he IS a Havard MBA, and had a talk radio show on how people could make the most of the money in Minnesota. Ziggy said no, so Birk had his surgery. Who can blame him, I would wanna walk better if I could (car wreck mutliple tip fib fractures), so more power to him. He got paid to sit on the sidelines, but that meant he could prolly walk when he retires. Anyone seen him play for the Ravens? Anyways, this might make some people mad, but as I said I ain't drank the KoolAid, and in true Viking fashion, we got an aging old man to be our QB. I wish Tom Clancy had gotten the Vikings, at least then we would have a fan owner, like Red!

Sorry to be so wordy, but I bleed frikken PURPLE! I told that to a counselor the other day, and said we lost a second game, and he got all in my face, about how I shouldn't say "WE" because I am not on the team. I told him that he didn't know anything about what being a true fan is, and if he was the baffled by my love of the Vikings, then I don't think he would ever understand enough to help me, and I'm looking for a new counselor. That said, the hard truth is I wish in the early conditioning rounds the Three Vikes had gone down and told Brett, get your ass to training, or retire! Not waited on his aged butt to sit out the real camps that would have shown whether he had his stuff anymore or not. He could have had that surgery earlier, like the day after he and AD's fumbling lost us the NFC championship game. That woulda given me more faith in #4. I dunno, I'm just not feeling it, this season, HE WAS A PACKER! HE WON HIS RING AND MVP trophy with the Pack. AND I KNOW, that he will sign some bull crap contract to a Packers for one day, like Emitt Smith did with Dallas, and get his damn jersey retired in Wisconsin. I dunno, at least the Gators are undefeated, and the Allouettes show some promise. Later Bro's and please someone post the URL in case the game is blacked out in Virginia, in favor of a regional game, lke skins, panthers. If we win this weekend, then I will eat the KoolAid, if not, I'll try to get on a stronger anti-depressant.

LeatherRebel, I had to vent to people who understand my pain, Gonzo, I hope I offended no one!

I'm not watching games anymore. Why, simple, I watched the last three losses, and then, when I don't watch, we win. So I go play some games with some friends (yes, Dungeons and Dragons, and the Call of Cthulhu) and get updates via a friends cellphone. I am not supersticious (sic) oh who am I kidding, yes I am. All I know is that we are in the NFC Championship game, and I am not going to watch the game. What if we get to the superbowl you ask, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO! It is killing me, if I watch the superbowl and we lose, I might just jump in front of a bus. Um...I should mention, I have been off my medication for sometime now, and I think it is having a negative effect on my life. SKOL VIKINGS LeatherRebel

Did they flip our game to show New England Miami instead of the Vikings/Cardinals game this weekend? Man, while I live game to game this season instead of thinking "this is the year!" I still kinda look at the schedule to see how many of the games I will get to see. This game was gonna be like one of four left for me in the 2009 season, and I am gonna instead get treated to the watch some GayFC game? Foul, Foul I say, once they put the damn schedule together, they outta stick to instead of playing "let's flip the game," so they can pull in better ratings. Why, oh why? Like I say in live in Virginia, and I don't get to see that many games, and this in my opinion is just foul foul foul. Especially after the way the Saint's manhandled the "spooky good" Patriots last Monday night, if anything this should have made them the ones to get flipped for whoever is gonna rape the Browns this weekend. Just my opinion, but Sad to my Soul, LeatherRebel

Um...again, I don't wanna look like Homer, but I always kinda thought, and believed that Prince was prolly a Vikings fan. I mean, Purple Rain, Purple Rain, and yesterday, for the first time, I saw him at the game on TV. I was sooooooo stoked, I mean, aside from his kind of weird vibe, I always like the guys music, because he is Uber Talented, and he can shred the frets on that cool guitar. Anyways, it was good to see the homeboy at the game, makes my universe make a little more sense, and my heart soars like a hawk. Man, this is a great year to finally believe, but I really just go one game at a time. I watch all I can, or go to Vikings.com, and watch the slow graphic game display. What is really cool, I got to see the Vikings beat the Bears on Sunday, and I get the see the Viking take on the Cards Sunday next! Man oh man, then one miss with the Bengals game, and then two games in a row with the Panthers game, and then we go to rape the Bears again. I love being able to say to the doubters, "I BELIEVE!" and not get sneers from the riffraff. Elroy

What is the deal with this sudden thing about Mall of America Stadium? Aren't we playing in the Metrodome anymore? I mean, did they suddenly make the stadium all the paranoids are always talking about? I know, I'm in Virginia, so I get most of my info about the Vikes in a roundabout way, sometimes with arcane weirdness. This season, since we have been stomping on the Terra, with the No. 4 Cannon, and his wide array of weapons to deal out vorpal like strikes on our opponents, I have had a lot more stuff via ESPN, and every other Pregame show. So, can someone please enlighten me, I would really appreciate it, SKOL Bros, Leather Rebel Dogmatic and Fanatic, they just don't mix

Again Chris Carter is badmouthing Farve again, saying Green Bay is going to blow us out, and that the Packers came out ahead in the whole Brett fiasco. I say Carter is suffering from a long bout of sour frikken grapes, and he always jumps on the Vikings with both feet on his little Pregame talk show. Carter never got us a Ring, he is just a poor sportsman who feels the need to lash out at the team that got him records, and gave him the stature to actually have a post football career in broadcasting. I remember when the Giants beat the snot out of us, and Carter was there, not making catches, and not coming down with his toes in bounds like he did when we all loved him. Hell, he got his number in the Ring of Honor, and still he dumps on the Vikings every chance he gets, I know he needs to "Objective" in his new role, but damn, he strikes me as a traitor forever. I just wish John Madden was still around, cause his quasi-homo love for #4 would be a welcome change from all the guys taking shots at him for his behavior. All I got to say is that the poor ass performance was before he donned the Beloved Purple and Gold, like Lourdes washed away sins, so does becoming a Viking, and leading us to a 6-1 start to the season. I said it many times already, I drank the Kool-Aid and it was GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!! I still say Vikings 40, Green Bay 10, and Rogers gets sacked by Jared Allen all day long. AD will run their yellow asses down, and Brett will show them Cheeseheads why they used to love, and now hate him. Time to go get the steaks, and get the Grill fired up. Vikings, Vikings, SKOL Bitches! LeatherRebel Dogmatic and Fanataic, Hell they just don't mix!

Yes, I'm asking for suggestions for a good side with steak, something unusual, but intriguing. I know, I'm already got the baked potatoes covered, but I want something different, than like, broccoli and cheese or corn on the cob. Hoping someone here will give me the item I am missing from my ultimate patio tailgate grill-experience. I'll take any suggestions with a bit of flair, and especially if it sounds tasty Bros! Man, I just can't wait to see our #4 put it to his old team, and show once and for all who is the NFC-North demigods by God! AD is gonna have a big day, as will Lewis, and Harvin. Jared Allen will feast on Rodgers, and with the Grace of God, we will make the Cheese-heads puke their dildo sausage on themselves, and their wives. I feel a big time upset here, I'm gonna say...42-10 any takers? LOL LeatherRebel Lighting in the Dark!!!!!!! Skol Bitches!

This was a badly called game, no doubt about it, but at least it was the frikken Steelers who gave us our first loss, and not some joke like Green Bay. I watched the entire game, and I saw the officials steal our win, but you know, it kinda lets the pressure off. Okay, we lost, but now that is over, we are still gonna roll up some big numbers next week when we welcome the Packers to the Dome for the first Farve in Purple game vs Them. But the first posts were right, the talking heads kinda down played the role of the horrible calls had on the whole game. I just know, and I might take flack for it, but when I saw the Viking hit the ref in the fourth quarter, I was almost as jazzed as when Farve showed us his Cannon. No. 4 is ours, all that hater bull gets thrown under the bus, when we are shown the power he still has, and a lot of touch and grace in his ball control. Sure, people will focus on the strip, but watching the WHOLE game, puts those plays in context. Not to mention, they were THE STEELERS! Next week all the fantasy geeks will get their play blown up when we face our mortal enemies Green Bay. I hate to hear all that crap about someones "Fantasy Game" getting ruined. Um...I think that is why it is called "FANTASY!" Most of our fantasies stay in our heads, and we are not encouraged to dump them into other people's laps. It is a healthy thing, because some of us, well, we are not in prison because we keep our fantasies as just that, not reality. Anyways, I got to watch our beloved Vikings play a full game, and I'm drunk and happy. Happy because we lost? NO! Happy because we didn't lose to those frikken Cheeseheads!!!!!!! Think about that one, okay? Later, and all the love for our Team! Lee Carter

In a paraphrase of an old TO quote, I love me some Vikings! I been loving every minute of this season, even the lousy game last week, where all I got to watch was us scoring, and the Ravens fail to play "lawyer ball" and get a last second FG! LOL!! This weekend is different, for some reason, I dunno, can any say there is gonna be a better first game on the regular cable waves for poor folks? Hell NO! We are gonna put a hurting on the Steelers! SUPERBOWL revenge bitches! I am pumped, and I am primed, I got the chicken on a two day marinadathon, and it will be sweet when it kisses the flames on my grill my brothers, I got 6-24 oz Steele Reserves chilly in the fridge, and some after dinner tokes for game time. Can anyone say, "7-0?" I can, hey, someone post some like links were a poor Virginia boy can get hooked up with some Viking Loving sports talk stuff...all I get here is Redskins crap. Thanks in advance, SKOL VIKINGS! Eel Retrac,

And unfortunatley my fellow Iowans are currenly voting to see the Bears/Bengals game by about 9%. So, I need your help! Please follow the link and vote for Vikings/Steelers. You can vote up to 5 times. Too many damn Bears fans live in Iowa.

Well, Green Bay was a little more of an opponent than I had imagined. It was a great night to be bathed in the Purple Light! Victory's sweet nectar filled my cup, and I drank it like I was a Priest of Dionysus chugging his Divine party wine. I am sold, but even though we have a long way to go, I BELIEVE! I too was so captured by the game, that I didn't remember to post during the game. But since it was one of maybe 3 games I get to watch (unless they make it to post season play) per year. I was scared several times during the game, and I don't think that going to Green Bay on November 1 will be a cake walk. They got fans just as rabid as us, and NFC North is called the black and blue conference for a reason. I think the team is getting their ducks in a row, and I am again glad that I have embraced the fact that #4 belongs with us now. Everything happens for a reason, and even though Brett had a problem with pain killers early in his career he has never been a divisive force with any behavior that would sully his name. Dude lost his Dad, and his brother-in-law in a span of like two years. You don't hear about him getting into trouble in Vegas like Dumb-Ben, he hasn't been involved in a bar fight, and he has followed on of Jim Rome's axioms: "Nothing good ever happens at a strip club at 3 in the morning." Enough preaching, back to (takes a long pull on his bowl) the game. I would hate to meet up with Jared Allen in a dark alley, that guy is a monster. Adrian may not have had the most yards last night, but you can tell he is coming along, and again, he ain't one of those folks who get in trouble off the field. I think it is kind of an extremely great story behind AP. I watched as he got hurt in the game playing for Oklahoma, and how that game was the first one his father had been able to attend because he had been in prison. In my view, the stars are lining up just right, the moon is in alighnment with Thor's hammer, and the fallen cheer in the Halls of Valhalla. Purple Rain plays loud in the background, and Prince is ten feet tall (I think the little dude is a Vikings fan!) shredding riffs on his wierd symbol shaped guitar. May Odin guard them, and shield their limbs from injury as we sail and row into the coming weeks. Skol Bitches! Eel Retrac

Yes, the beer is ice cold, the grill is burning like a wizards brazier, the sirloin is waiting for the flames to kiss them into perfection. I am sooooooo frikken pumped, come on, lets get this house rocking People! We are the VIKING NATION, so let the carnage begin, Death to the Green and Yellow cheesehead bitches! BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG, Hope that is enough frikken words for this thing. Skol Bro's Eel Retrac

I'm not really sure what made me come check the Daily Norseman but you have all  made me feel like I had finally found a net home for Vikings Fans. Getting honest, it took Gonzo help me book into the room/. so, anyways, and so it fucking goes, All I know is that the this babbling monolouge is or should be at an end.

V-I-K-I-N-G-S Skol Vikings LETS Go.

i might post on the superbowl but I don't really plan on coming back until the start of preseason. `09

Later, and thanks to one and all, I'll back when the purple and gold return to us

LeatherRebel.

Lightning in the Dark!!

I send out a major hug, and give the Vikings major love!

It's better to burn out, than fade away

Well, I couldn't see the game, since I live in Virginia, so it was a great relief that I got loaded, and slept till around 7:30 pm. WE WON!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

I dunno, numbers bounce off my forehead (I'm an English Major), and this is the point of the season where I get kinda lost trying to figure out just which teams I need to root against to insure our Vikings get into the playoffs.

 As best as I understand it, given my limited math skills, We need a win, and a Bears loss to win our division.

I dunno, this the time in the season, when it becomes the wait and see period.

Later LeatherRebel

 

 

 

 

*walks in, pulling the Viking horn from his chest, and sits down with a weary sigh*

Hey fellow Viking fans, at first I thought I was going to get a treat since Fox switched its coverage from the Packer Blow Out of the Bears, to the Viking Tampa Bay  game. I live in Redskin country in Virginia, so this was a rare treat. (I get to see the Vikes play prolly four games a year, the rest of the time I'm on my crappy PC watching the the game on the slow server at nfl.com and not the real game, the thing with the helmets to show what is going on in the game.) I wonder if I am the only Vikings fan that has to see our games on the net, gnawing at my finger nails as I wait for the NFL guy to type in what happened on each play. Sometimes it takes ten minutes to get the results of the last play posted.

Well, anyway, I was trilled until the fourth quarter MELT DOWN. I just sat there, in my Vikings PJ pants, Vikings Tee shirt, Vikings Sweatshirt, and my new Vikings hat (I buy a new hat every season!) and clutching my Jim Marshall autographed Fleer "Greats of  the Game" trading card from the year 2000. And like so many Sundays before, my team ripped my heart out. A friend of mine has this running joke (he is a Redskin fan) that the Vikings need to get Dr. Heimlich as their team physician  because we always choke! I don't let it bother me though, because there is nothing anyone can say or do about my team that could ever hurt me as much as watching them lose. My son even asked me once, why I sit there in the final minutes of  every televised game, no matter if we are winning big, or losing badly.

Simple I told him, if you are a true fan of any team, you never abandon them.  You get stoic, and watch them go down in flames, taking our hopes  for a championship season down with them. I must admit, after the crappy 1983 season, I turned snarling away from the losers who had broken my heart since their first  Superbowl defeat at the hands of the KC Chiefs. I was a Redskins fan for one year,  and the Skins lost to Oakland in the superbowl that year, and I knew I hadda go back to my beloved Vikings. I guess something in my DNA just sticks me to team from a land I never seen.

Thank the Good Lord that the Bears lost so big to the Packers today!! That ties us up with the Bears.

 

Rock on and peace out

LeatherRebel
