They lost because they dumped the ball all over the field. 5 turnovers and they still almost won. ---

What a great game. That’s why I watch football. And Vikings fans, don’t diminish yourselves or your team by alibing about the refs. Nothing to be ashamed about in Minnesota. These were two really good teams. Saints 31 Colts 21 ---

It’s completely fucking ridiculous to balme this loss on Favre. he played his ass off, and outplayed Brees. He was hobbled and busted up and he still kept the Viokings in the game against all odds. His fucking receivers just would hold onto the fucking ball, and the officials carried on their annual tradition of buttfucking the Vikings with game-deciding bullshit calls. The Vikings didn’t lose this game because of Favre. ---

I was cheering for them all the way, but they fucked up bad with the turnovers. That didn’t decide the game, though. What decided the game was back to back shit calls by the officials. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > I would expect nothing but this post from you Dio. You, once again, prove all your critics right. Like Favre, come to think of it. Although like you, **Hamlet** , I felt a little tinge of sadness and guilt when I updated my Facebook status and then saw Favre crying ☹ Best thing about the whole entire season is that the Vikings put everything on this year and came up short. By the time they have a legit QB again, AP’s days as an elite back will be behind him and a least one or two of those WRs will be gone. But it was a great game. GEAUX SAINTS! ---

Read a book, open a window, fuck your wife. There’;s more to life than football. It’s kind of pathetic to spend so much time taunting fans of other teams, just because your own choked like dogs in the first round. ---

I did think that last catch was good. But I also thought the Saints were given extra yardage on the spots on both 3rd and 4th down earlier in the drive. Should have been stopped there. And then after that was the nonexistent PI. Anyway, I hope the Saints can win it all. Can’t feel bad about New Orleans getting their first Super Bowl. ---
