YIKES VIKES!

I'm embarrassed to say I'm a Minnesota boy. Last night was the last straw. I'm going to start claiming Arizona as my State of preference. Many of you reading this know I live in North Dakota (Minot to be exact) but I was born and raised in Minnesota. So whats the fuss about? I've been a Vikings fan for more years then I care to acknowledge but NO MORE! I am sick and tired of the team with all the potential and talent that always leaves me cursing. Even if I don't choose a new team I will need to get a new wardrobe, nearly every article of clothing, yes even under ware, has a Vikings logo on it. I'll need a new beer mug, coffee cup, cooler, golf bag and more. Like I said, so many years, nothing but disappointment. All the way back to Bud Grant, losers, losers, losers! When I look back the only coach that was worth while was Less Steckle. At least with Les you knew they were going to lose. There was no pretense that hope existed. It was also fun to spoof people that his wifes name is Tess. Well I'm thinking Arizona now, you expect them to lose (unless the Vikings are in town). It will be nice to have a team I expect to lose and then once or twice a year I will get pleasent surprise.
