Based on Mr. Favre’s last playoff game in St Louis, I wouldn’t be too eager for a rematch.

Also, I wouldn’t overlook those guys from Charlotte.

I’ll give this much to Hasselbeck, he sure can make a prediction. I mean, he never said what team he was going to score for! We sat in the stands after hearing him say that and just knew the football gods were going to smite him. We just hoped the lightning bolt would arc to any of our players.

DTC, could you up that to 10 INT’s, 8 fumbles and Mike Tice as Ref? I want to guarantee a Packer SB victory.

BTW, the party at the stadium lasted well into the night. How did the Vikes do this weekend.

Now to try to get Philly tickets!

Well, Brett didn’t throw five, six or seven int’s, one was enough.

It was a good game. It took failures on the coaching level (not going for it at 4th and 1 with less than a minute and a half left), defense (failing to stop them at 4th and 26), and offense (Brett’s bonehead pass).

I once had a Minnesota Vikings hat. It was so hard to find, in Ponoka, Alberta. But man, did I love that hat.

Go ahead Vikes fans, I’ve been asking for it.
