The good things I refer to are a pair of somewhat stunning losses just suffered by the Purple’s two main opponents in the NFC North.  Down in Tampa, the Packers failed to mount a late rally against the previously winless [...]2http://thevikingage.com/2009/11/06/vikings-at-81-to-win-super-bowl/Vikingsminnesota vikingsdanzinskiFri, 06 Nov 2009 12:22:02 PSThttp://thevikingage.com/?p=3015The Vikings have been one of the biggest stories in the NFL all season, and now, Vegas is warming to them too.  The latest odds (courtesy of Bodog.com) place the Purple at 7/2 to win the NFC, and 8/1 to claim their first Lombardi Trophy. At 3/1, the Saints are right now considered the best bet [...]4http://thevikingage.com/2009/11/04/on-the-possibility-of-jared-allen-killing-percy-harvin/Vikingsadrian petersonjared allenpercy harvindanzinskiWed, 04 Nov 2009 09:14:12 PSThttp://thevikingage.com/?p=3012How does one sum up the talents of Viking phenom Percy Harvin?  Noted locker room grappler Adrian Peterson tried it by whipping out an unusual animal analogy culled from his rural experiences. “I call him a young hog,” Peterson said while gushing about Harvin’s abilities.  “I’m from the country and I know how wild boars get [...]3http://thevikingage.com/2009/11/02/10-points-vikings-hang-on-vs-packers/Vikingsadrian petersonantoine winfieldasher allenbenny sappbrad childressbrett favregreen bay packershowie longjared allenjohn sullivanjohnny jollykarl paymahkevin williamsminnesota vikingsray edwardstroy aikmandanzinskiMon, 02 Nov 2009 11:48:41 PSThttp://thevikingage.com/?p=3010Monday’s 10 Points: 1.  I don’t know if the emotion of the homecoming helped Brett Favre, but it certainly didn’t hurt him.  One thing’s for sure:  Brett likes playing against the Packers.  In his two games against them this year, he is 41-for-59 with 515 yards, 7 TDs and no picks.  2 of his 3 highest [...]15http://thevikingage.com/2009/11/01/a-blow-out-becomes-a-nailbiter-again/GamedayVikingsaaron rodgersadrian petersonbaltimore ravensbrett favreminnesota vikingspercy harvindanzinskiSun, 01 Nov 2009 16:24:54 PSThttp://thevikingage.com/?p=3008We’ve seen this bit before.  The Vikings build a big lead, only to watch their defense go softer than Minnesota snow, letting the other team back in. That’s why, as the Packers clawed their way up from the bottom of a 24-3 well in the second half today, we experienced such a sinking feeling.

By halftime, Favre had shut up the thousands of bitter cheeseheads by leading the Vikings to a 17-3 lead.  With a lot of help from Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin (whose long kick [...]0http://thevikingage.com/2009/11/01/pregame-wackiness/GamedayVikingsdanzinskiSun, 01 Nov 2009 13:03:22 PSThttp://thevikingage.com/?p=2998You knew things would get crazy when Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field.  You just didn’t know the craziness would extend to the pregame injury reports.

On Saturday morning, an unnamed idiot was arrested by Green Bay police for stealing the sign.  And no, he isn’t a Vikings fan. The cops reportedly pulled this fool over after noticing [...]3
