BRAD CHILDRESS FIRED; VIKINGS' EMBROIDERER IS THE NEXT HEAD TO ROLL

It's time to clean house in Minnesota.  Chili was a good start (told you so), but lets get back to fundamentals and find an embroiderer who has access to spellcheck, or a team roster thats maybe written down on paper:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams is a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the best defensive players in the league.  Maybe the team's jersey maker should get to know him a little better.

Williams played the game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday with his last name spelled incorrectly on the back of his purple jersey. His jersey had the 'i' and the 'a' transposed, making it read W-I-L-L-A-I-M-S.

The Vikings have two other players with the last name Williams. But Reebok had the jerseys for defensive tackle Pat Williams and safety Madieu Williams spelled correctly.

GREAT GAME THIS WEEKEND FAVRE...

 I wonder if he'll come back for another 17-interception season when Ziggy Wilf moves the team to Los Angeles?  Hopefully they'll still be in the NFC North... -The Packers can use those 2 'W's every season.

SNICKERDOODLES' AMAZING PROPHECIES!

It struck me like a bolt of lightning this morning:  -I had a vision -A REVELATION... I see a man... -with something like a  headset, or some kind of communication device.  -He's wearing a purple sweatshirt.  He's bald man with a cop's moustache... and I sense that he is in a position of authority-  a leader of some sort... -But he seems to have miserable leadership and decision making skills, -... I sense that he is in very far over his head and his employment situation is spiraling out of control. I see this person in a long line...  I believe it's an unemployment line. Wait... It's all coming into focus now:  -The Green Bay Packers will win the NFC North. 


-Swami Snickerdoodles has spoken!

NOPE...

Sorry Vikings fans. It looks like you're gonna have to pin your postseason hopes on either Tarvaris Jackson or something called 'Sage Rosenfels' at the quarterback position. Just 2 days before the beginning of training camp, my former boy Brett Favre, decided to remain retired (we'll see) and forgo the opportunity to stab thousands of loyal Packer fans, who supported him during his 16 year tenure in Green Bay, in their collective hearts... Thanks...-I guess. I dunno, part of me was actually kindof looking forward to watching the surreal drama of the whole thing unfold. Kinda like when Hulk Hogan switched over to being a bad guy and thought it'd be a dope idea to dye his gay little moustache black in order to signify the switchover. In the case of Favre, I think things would have gotten really ugly had he suited up for the Vikes, -far beyond my proposed pregame bonfire of all of Green Bay Favre-related Memorabilia when they faced Minnesota on November 1st at Lambeau. Anyways, basically what I'm trying to say is 'Suck it Vikings fans, and may your season be filled with misery and disappointment' (not that you aren't acustomed to this already).
