My buddy from MN believes that Favre is actually part of a conspiracy hatched by the Packers to destroy the Vikings. He thinks Favre is still in the employ of Green Bay, and has been tanking games intentionally.
Being a California kid, I never got hockey. I have family in MN, IL, WI and MI, so hockey was a fairly big deal with my cousins and my mom was a huge Detroit Red Wings fan.
I played football, and am a Raiders fan, so I have mental issues all my own. Although, the Raiders are starting to scare me. They’re 4 – 4 and playing lights out defense. I don’t know what I’m going to do if they stay .500 or better this year. I’m so used to being miserable and unhappy with those losing bastards, I’m not sure I know how to behave properly. I’ll probably start rooting for the 49ers.[/quote]
The first place we lived when we moved to the US was Sturgeon Bay near Green Bay.
I can tell you if there is a team capable of planning long term to sabotage the Vikings, it is the Packers.
The fact that a town of 80,000 has a publicly-owned football team and volunteers to work the stadium is as sure a sign as I have ever seen that there is a Satan.
