been busy for a while...final and such. yesterday started out so fine and ended so disappointing. put the fishhouse out and spent some quality time with the oldest son, then hurried home to watch the vikings fiasco. bad enough getting beat by carolina, but the way we played embarrassed me. if i was a viking, i think i'd stay home today and not show my face to the public, what a joke. those of us old enough remember the false hopes and the crushing letdowns, all four of them. well on the bright side, its one day closer to the twins opener in their new stadium. if the vikings want a stadium, win something and then we'll talk...

well....was last night worth staying up for? Not if you were a Vikings fan. The team looked tired and out of sync, maybe the "stars" speeding tickets were too much of a distraction for the team this week. One thing occured to me last night as i was watching the vikings game, it's no wonder peterson is not having the success rushing the ball he did the last two years. The vikings line looked like a flock of geese going overhead, instead of a straight line with yard and a half line splits (the distance between players). The "V" formation is a great help when pass blocking, but a disaster when you're trying to run block. The "V" formation makes it hard to block on the corners and the close line splits make the middle congested. Peterson is doomed unless the offensive line coach does something about this mess!!!!
