My pledge to you and all of Viking land.

If the Arizona Cardinals win the Super Bowl, I, RedTigerShark, will suspend my Vikings fandom until the Vikings reach the Super Bowl. I think that the very least I am owed for approximately 29 years of fanaticism, is that 2 of the franchises generally looked at for futility, the Cards and the Bucs, do not win Super Bowls before the Vikings. Call it what you will. Call it jumping off the bandwagon, I don't care. I call it being slighted and the butt of a very unfunny joke.

Now before you dismiss this as just sour grapes about the loss two weeks ago, I would like to point out that if the Cards win the Super Bowl, it will be the second year in a row that the Vikings have thrashed the eventual Super Bowl winner late in the season. As I am sure you all remember, the Vikings beat the Giants 41-17 in week 12 last year and they beat the Cards 35-14 in week 15 this year. This does not happen to every team, only ours.

This rant also applies if the Lions or Saints win the Super Bowl before the Vikings. Obviously, their threat is not as eminent. The Cards still have to win two big games for it to happen, but I felt the need to get this down in writing and on the record.

Regards,
