Might be a fan but I would never bet $1 on them.
If they win the next game I can't imagine what Mpls will be like Super Bowl Weekend. If I recall correctly no team has ever played a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Hope this passes, it is just a joke, nothing else.
Ole and Sven die in a snowmobiling accident, drunker than skunks, And go to Hell. The Devil observes that they are really enjoying themselves. He says to them 'Doesn't the heat and smoke bother you?' Ole replies, 'Vell, ya know, ve're from nordern Minnesooota, da land of snow an ice, an ve're yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know.'
The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat even more. When he returns to the room of the two from Minnesota , the devil finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer. The devil is astonished and exclaims, 'Everyone down here is in misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves?' Sven replies, 'Vell, ya know, ve don't git too much varm veather up dere at da Falls, so ve've yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da veather's dis nice.'
The devil is absolutely furious. He can hardly see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives. The devil decides to turn all the heat off in Hell. The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, and people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan or gnash their teeth. The devil smiles and heads for the room with Ole and Sven. He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men.
The devil is dumbfounded, 'I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?'
They both look at the devil in surprise and say, 'Vell, don't ya know, if hell iss froze over, dat must mean da Vikings von da Super Bowl.

Lifelong Vikings fan caught between optimism and dread: Optimism that this Vikings team could be the one, and dread of playoffs past. If nothing else, it's been a fun season, but yesterday may have taken a year or two off my life expectancy. Skol Mary, baby!

I've been a Case Keenum fan since he played at my Alma Mater, University of Houston. Great to see him doing well! He's a good guy. Go Vikings!
OP
Yes, but technically, they would be the visitors. AFC is the home team. Apparently, the Vikes would still get to use their own locker room.
Best not to indulge in such idle speculation, however. The other shoe is still to drop.

OP
It just alternates from year to year, and this is the AFC’s year to be the home team.

No matter how great Marcus Williams' career is in the future, I'm afraid he's going to have a pretty tough time livin' that one down.
Kinda like Roy "Wrong Way" Riegels in the 1929 Rose Bowl. Few remember that Riegels was an All-American.
Go vikings!

If he had hit the receiver it would have been well before the ball got there and it would have been pass interference. That would have put the ball already in field goal range with the clock stopped for the penalty. The wild part was him taking his team mate out so that neither could stop the receiver.

I think a pass interference call on Williams would have been more preferable than what was allowed to happen.
Ball would have been at point of the foul with clock reset to .001 at about the 26 yd. line.
But, I don't think his intent was to avoid contact. I think he miss-judged the tackle.
Happy for the Vikings. Not too many games to celebrate since the days of "Purple People Eaters".

OP
Williams himself said he was trying to avoid the interference call. It was far from certain that Diggs would even catch the pass. Diggs was supposed to step out of bounds to set up the field goal attempt, but he knew that Williams was the last defender; when he ran by him Diggs knew there was nobody left between him and the goal line. He could easily have been the goat.
As for major blunders, you can’t forget our own Jim Marshall, who in 1960 picked up a 49ers fumble and ran it 60 yards the wrong way for a safety. In later years he could be a fun guy to drink with, but that was not a subject you wanted to bring up with him.

Hard to root for the Vikings being a Packer fan, but dang they do play well. And to do that with their 3rd QB (when we showed how important solid backup(s) can be when we didnt have even 1 lol), well my hat's off to them.
Kinda hoping their successes this year (wherever they end up at) show the GB powers-that-be what a team can do with a great defense.

OP
I live in the St. Croix Valley, where there are a lot of Packer fans on this side of the river, and lots of Viking fans on the Sconny side. I’ll never root for the Packers over the Vikings, but I have no problem rooting for them against anybody else, unless it’s critical for the NFC North standings, of course.
Before the Vikings arrived in 1961, the Packers were our local team. You have to like the franchise, owned by the public and not a mobster billionaire.

Well, it makes more sense than it being the winning conference of what is supposed to be an exhibition game.

I really should thank Bud Grant and those brave folks who fearlessly donned the Purple to replace THE DEFENCE WHICH MISSED THE CHARTER TO CALIFORNIA back in January 1977. I was SO certain those showoffs from Haight-Ashbury-Berkley would be put in their place. Well it was the first and last time I made a significant wager on a sporting event. You taught me not to gamble.

Slow learner? I learned not to bet, especially on the Vikings in either '74 or '75.

Hey, I was in high school in '75, and nobody looses three, do they?
