Alright...Monday night not Monday Night Football.
Let the weirdness begin:
Wow...they've even assembled the usual Sunday cast of characters. They all look like they've been hit with a dose of thorazine.
Favre not starting? A sign of the Apocalypse my friends...grab your loved ones and all of the supplies you can and head for the hills!
Tarvaris Jackson starting? A sign of the Apocalypse my friends...grab your loved ones and all of the supplies you can and head for the hills!
Geez, guys. Favre isn't starting tonight, it's not like he's buried under the mound of snow in the Metrodome. Oh...they think he's done for his career because of this? He's not going to finish the season? Hmmm...maybe, but that strikes me as pretty much chickenshit quitter territory. Is Favre really that much of an asshole?
1st quarter
Someone brought the Viking horn soundtrack.
False start by the Vikes. Must have been the crowd noise.
oh. /sarcasm.
Jackson and AP collide and Jackson has to go out on third down. Joe Webb comes in and...throws? I like it, even if Rice couldn't come down with it.
2nd Quarter
Nice throw by Eli Manning to Asher Allen. It was like they were on the same wavelength. Too bad for Eli that Asher is a Viking.
Shoot...a punt.
Nice move by the Vikes defense to give up a huge run and keep the Detroit fans interested. We all know what happens when Detroit fans get bored.
2:00 warning and it's 7-3 Giants. Jackson just muffed the third down snap. I'm starting to think this game may be a giant ruse designed to suck my soul down into the depths of Hell.
Halftime
Okay, if Favre's arm is really so messed up that it is the shade of purple they showed just before halftime, then maybe he should quit and I wouldn't blame him. I heard yesterday that he was still possible to play today. Well, that arm looks like it could fall right off.
3rd Quarter
Ten minutes into the quarter and if you were here I bet you would think I quit liveblogging this game. That calls for a shot.
There's a good fire going in the fireplace though.
4th Quarter
Good grief this is a boring game.
Wow...what an awful offensive performance by the Vikes tonight. Or I should say, another in a string of awful offensive performances this season. The Giants are just not that good, it's that the Vikings are just that bad this year.
You know how bad this game is? As the game winds down under a minute the announcers are talking about the Lions.
They are also bitter that the Vikings continue to play instead of just running out the clock. I don't blame them.
The end of this game is strangely Childress like. Seriously, Leslie Frazier is taking a serious ding in my book by dragging this out. May God have mercy on his soul, because everyone who works for FOX Sports now hates his guts. Me? I just wonder where my innocence went.
It's over. Giants 21-3. I feel used.
Yeah, I think Frazier may be a good fit somewhere but I think this Minnesota Viking season is now stuck to him, too.
Fans never lose their innocence. Our hearts gets ripped out, stomped on, sliced open, and discarded into the salt pit one season and we're back again the next season almost like it never happened. What's another scar anyway? Those fair-weather types don't know what they're missing.

That purple color of Favre's hand was just...ick.

Rob-Yeah, this season has turned into the Vikings version of the Seinfeld episode "The Smelly Car." We can call it the BBO season(beyond body odor). I just hope it doesn't get so bad that Wilf decides to sell the team, because as owners go he seems pretty good.

I couldn't believe how nasty that looked either, Mr. B. This morning's Strib has something about a pinched nerve, but just a pinched nerve isn't going to make his hand purple. That's pooled blood...did that seep down from his shoulder?
