FTLOSBW Gets it up for Football: Purple Preview

When you win 3 games, you get a high draft pick and an easy schedule.  However, parity rules the NFL for better for worse unless you're one of 6 legit organizations which we are not. 

Alright, let's do some math.

Week 1 - JAGUARS

 Easy peasay Japaneasy.  If people thought we were going to be better, we would lose this game. Not this year.  Vikes 1 - 0

Week 2 - at Colts

We make it tough for Andrew Luck (I bet he crushes it week 1 and takes a step back week 2.)  Vikes 2 - 0

Week 3 - at 49ers

They went to the NFC Championship game last year, we didn't.  They choked that game away like the Purple would have.  Either way, we win this one as we seem to have the 49ers number when it largely doesn't matter for us.  Vikes 3 - 0 
  
Week 4 -  at Lions

Megatron kills us.  Our secondary is worse that expected. Other teams take notice you can still throw on us.  Vikes 3 - 1

Week 5 - TITANS

I don't know who is on their team besides Chris Johnson.  I think we win?  This is kinda of an easy schedule to this point.  Vikes 4 - 1

Week 6 - at Washington

DTK and I plan to be in attendance.  I'm guessing if AP hasn't blown out his knee by this game we will get to see it.  Lightening strikes twice (can someone in the NFL explain why we play Washington at Washington in back to back years?)  Anyway, no revenge.  Vikes 4 -2

Week 7 - CARDINALS

Don't they suck?  Is that what some Cards blog is saying about Week 7 against Minnesota?  Vikes 5 - 2

Week 8 - BUCS

Again, why are we playing them for the second year in a row at home?  Didn't they come back on us last year and pull it out?  Didn't everyone do that to us?  Not again.  Vikes 6 - 2

Week 9 - at Seagulls

No more TJac in Seattle.  No more anyone for that matter.  I smell a road win.  Vikes 7 - 2

Week 10 - LIONS

Megatron kills us.  Vikes 7 - 3

Week 11 - BYE

Vikes stay 7 - 3

Week 12 - at Bears

They're suppose to be good, right?  Probably will beat us.  Vikes 7 - 4

Week 13 - at Packers

Shit.  Vikes 7 - 5

Week 14 -  BEARS

Rollerdome.  Emotional win. Vikes 8 - 5

Week 15 - at Rams

They're bad.  Vikes 9 - 5.  Playoff bubble which means trouble.

Week 16 - at Houston

Bumblin'. Vikes 9 -6

Week 17 - PACKERS

Stumblin'.  Double shit.  Vikes 9 - 7.  Miss the playoffs. Everyone jacks off into a cup for next year.
  

Goodbye forever Sidney Rice Jersey. You Suck.

How do you know you are part of a lame blog nobody posts to let alone reads or comments on?

If it's named From The Land Of Sky Blue Waters and hosted by blogspot that's it.

Here's a fried egg.

What a beautiful culture!

I had heard this...but it's more shocking when it appears in the NY Times

Apparently, the members of the Shakopee Indian tribe are insanely rich (in fact, they are the richest tribe in the US).  Good for them, I guess?  And for real, good for them for actually giving more to charity than 3M and US Bancorp.  I guess I never realized just how much money these guys were making.

On a completely separate note: I read yesterday that since early May (forget the exact date), the Twins have scored the most runs in the AL, and are 5 games over .500.  Too bad a 10-25 start will doom your season.

Jan - great Champions Club photos, by the way.  Very cool...

It's good to be back.

FTLOSBW - The Return of Nishi

He's back.  Yup, that terrible swing and horrible fielding and his 3 year $5M are back in the big leagues.  While the rest of his team got to beating the snot out of Cleveland last night, Nishi went 0 for 5 with 2 errors.  Welcome back, Nishi, I'm rooting for you because I want you to be good but I am one of the few.  BTW - Blyleven doesn't like him.
