Why Do They Hate Us?
In the course of celebrating the Packers victory, a blog called Cheesehead Sports is doing something I've never seen before. Fisking a Sid Hartman column. I guess folks not from here take his writing seriously. I admit I do read Sid, and genuinely like his contributions to the sports conversation, but more so as a living history exhibit of what journalism used to be like in the 50's. The 1850's.
They also provide a Vikings joke worth repeating. As with all great humor, it's funny because it's true.
What is the difference between the Minnesota Vikings and a dollar bill?
A dollar bill will always give you 4 quarters.
The Packers Report message board is also helping me put things in the proper perspective with nuggets like this:
I prayed to St Vince to give us a miracle and looked what happened. My buddy kept telling me I was crazy to pray out loud like that and GUESSS WHAT??? HE heard 1million Packer fans screaming for a miracle. Damn it we deserved this. The town and the team are what's best in America. GOD LOVES THE PACKERS!!!
Of course, they offer condolences to Vikings fans as well. Though savagely communicated, it's hard to deny the essential truths behind each:
But it must be maddening to have your team look so good (6-0) only to implode in your face. Sucks to be a Viking this morning! Again!
It's gotta suck being a Viking fan! Every year ends like this!
Screw you Queenie fans. Go home and sulk in your beer and worship Randy Moss some more.
Just when the Packer's season is about to hit the crapper, we can always leave it to the Minnehaha Chokekings to bring us back from oblivion.
But then some extremist has to start in with the irresponsible rhetoric:
Evil has been defeated.
Do you think this guy accidentally clicked over from a Howard Dean message board?
