Pretty much. Break out the cheesehead repellent.

I just don't know what that would be.
Does Dan Barreiro still do his Dairy-land diaries bit at KFAN?

Maybe we can get some ideas there.

Is Barreiro still on the air? Egads, that was tired years ago. Next you'll tell me Barnard is still around.

Agreed
No, irritating are Minnesota fans, who make it a highlight of their last ten years, when they broke Rodger's collarbone, and then bragged they did well that year. It's always so interesting to read Viking fan comments when they win a game...you would think they're better than any other team out there. I've copied and pasted comments, and sent them on to different sites, and people got a real sense of who the Viking fans really are. Lots of comments on my "pasted" comments. Way over the top, I must say, are Viking fans. Problem is, the Vikings will never have the appeal that the Packers do, on a broader scale. Too much history at Lambeau they can never hope to achieve. I've lived in different states, and trust me, no one talks about the Vikings, unless one is in Minnesota.

Shoo, shoo, back to WI with you.

I speak the truth, though. Lived in Chicago, lived in Milwaukee. We had a choice to live in the Twin Cities, but chose not to. It's not for everyone. Too isolated, for some of us.

I am not a big NFL fan but I do root for the Vikings. Given how successful the Packers have been in comparison to the Vikings, these complaints by the Vikings fans do come off as sour grapes.

Oh, but wait, didn't they beat the Vikings twice this season? The amount of times they played the Vikings??
Anyway, they went farther than the Vikings, beat them twice....not sure what you're laughing about.

Total lie. My friends and family in Texas, California, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania are always talking Vikings because the Vikings are usually a good team that's in the thick of the playoff hunt. They're more than relevant on the national stage.

You'd have to take a grammar test to live here. Based on what I'm seeing it looks like things worked out for the best.
