I think I am finally at the stage where I can write about my grief over the Vikings loss last Sunday. I know, I know, how can someone be so attached to get depressed and attached to a dumb football game, right -- GET OVER IT !! I guess, like my friend Sam, I take this game too seriously.
I really thought (deep down thought) that this team had something special, and call it just a gut feeling, it was destiny this year. And taking turnovers aside for a minute, the Vikings dominated the game in every aspect. But stats are for fantasy football and the real indicator is the one on the scoreboard. You can't make the ball available 8 times and turn it over5 of them and still expect to win most games, especially in the NFC Championship game. So CLOSE !!
So, I'm over: the shock and denial stage, the anger and bargaining stage, the depression stage, and I'm at the reflection and reconstruction stage. Hope and reconciliation are still pending. Is there still hope for my purple and gold? Will I have to wait another 30 years to see them in the big game? Will we even have a football team to cheer for in 2 years?
Time heals all wounds, even those that bleed purple and gold. Now it's time to go change my bandages.

Nice to see you blog... you are more forgiving than me. I am very much still in the anger stage. I could care less if the Vikings ever take the field again. I am sure I'll feel differently come June, but I am completely burned out and drained of anything related to the Minnesota Vikings right now. There's no payoff for Vikings fans. No vindication, just disappointment.
