Homeward Bound
So my Vikes are on their way home once again, out of the playoffs. Hey, at least they made the playoffs this year, right? Bah. I blame Randy Moss’ hair.

Don’t Call It A Comeback
A week and a half ago, I accomplished something for the first time ever. I won a fantasy football championship. That’s right – a fantasy football championship. I can feel your excitement from here. Seriously though, it’s not easy to win one. I’ve played fantasy football for about five years now, and I’ve come tantalizing…

Short End of the Stick
In a season of surprises, there just wasn’t enough of them left for us at the end of the Sugar Bowl. Oh, our defense played lights out once again, making Auburn’s stellar running backs look like mere mortals. The final surprise really was that Bryan Randall showed some of the inexperienced play that he became…

Super Ending
Wow, what a game! Every once in awhile, you get to watch a really good Super Bowl. This one started out really slowly, as there was no scoring at in the first quarter and most of the second one. There was a flurry of points with about five minutes left in the second quarter, and…

Random Musings
If you’re going to New York to exchange gifts and celebrate Christmas with your family, you might want to bring the gifts with you. 🙁 Apparently, it’s “okay” to have awards and parties spewing hatred and making comparisons to genocidal dictators as long as the person you’re talking about is named George W. Bush. :whocares:…
