FTLOSBW - Get Your Balls Out

Vikes v. Pack with everything on the line. Winners embrace these games, losers can only dream of them too scared to welcome the challenge. We're not your fathers football team, were not the football team of our past 38 years. It's a new day, All Day, for he is the Chosen One.

In the words of U2 -

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found.


It's time, AP, it is time.

FTLOSBW to AP: Will you Marry Us?

Well, it's t-minus AP, and I want to go on the record with an admission and/or a proposal.  Regardless of where you stand on the issue of gay marriage and the constitutional import of Minnesota's recent decision to not allow gay marriage to be banned, or something, (to be fair, this sports blogger did not really follow the issue, because, well, he doesn't give a shit) I think we can all agree that this group should agree to gay marry Adrian Peterson.

While it's not exactly about gay marriage as much as it is about just being in AP's life, and him being in ours, I do think it's an important test of our commitment to the institution of marriage and to the Vikings' success.  Don't get me wrong, i would gladly bed AP at his will if he continues to rush for 175 yards per game and drives us into the playoffs, and would certainly film BG having his lower cavity owned by him and posted on various fantasy sports and porn sites, but not because i'm gay,  just because it'd hurt aaron rodgers even indirectly. I think i speak for Jan when i say it's open season on a full on polygamous orgy of manly love in exchange for just one shot at an AP driven, record breaking playoff run.  

Is everyone in on this?  I need to know for the marriage certificate and for the condoms.  It's the least we can do. 

Soooooo, AP, will you marry FTLOSBW?  Seriously, marry us.   We need this.

FTLOSBW Xmas Wish List

Dear Santa,

This year for Christmas please bring me -

Adrian Peterson breaking the rushing record leading the Vikes to the playoffs and ultimately a Superbowl win.

Thanks,
FTLOSBW

FTLOSBW - Playoff Hunt Continues

How excited are you?  I mean honestly?  You're watching AP take over games.  A running back in Purple.  I think the success is now out of our hands and is in AP's and God's hands.  Yes, lots of things have to happen to get in the post-season but I think there is plan for all of this that is bigger than all of us except for AP, it's his destiny now. 


IN YOUR FACE!

Chris Kluwe is a douche

Further evidence that everyone is tired of Kluwe. I told DTK this months ago.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/50700/chris-kluwe-distractions-are-getting-old

Unfortunately he is signed for a bunch more years. Ugh. Hes best know for playing world of warcraft and his stance on gay marriage and not being an awesome kicker. This idiot also said that rich people like him should pay more in taxes, I say what's holding you back, go ahead and write a check to the Treasury department.

Lets focus on kicking a football, Chris. Nobody cares about your views on anything. I'd cut him.

In furtherance of the AP post below...

A right and proper appreciation for Adrian Peterson here: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8732847/how-minnesota-adrian-peterson-became-best-running-back-football-again I also love how the writer gets at the self-loathing and sense of inadequacy, and acknowledges the Packer jealousy, that all come with being a Vikes fan.

FTLOSBW - Vikes Post-Season Scenario Part 1: How we win the division

Yes, we're 7-6.  Yes, lots of things have to happen but take a minute, choose a bong, pack it up and listen closely at to how this could all play out -

Vikes win out and finish 10-6

Pack lose to the Bears, beat to Tennessee, and lose to us and finish 10-6

Bears beat the Pack, lose either to Arizona or Detroit (preferably Detroit) and finish 10-6

We all end up 4-2 in the division and 1-1 head to head with each other.  Then it goes to common games.  This is where you should re-load your binger and take another pull.

Common Games -
Vikes - 6 and 2
Packers - 5 and 3
Bears - 4 and 4

This would be, to quote DTK, "FUCKING AWESOME."

Vikes, Vikes, Vikes

Mondays after a Vikes win are like Xmas morning for 38 year olds. Playoff chances look difficult but lots of things can still happen and at least we have a game at the Rams to look forward to.

FTLOSBW Votes AP Greatest Human Ever

Beating out Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King, FTLOSBW has voted Adrian Peterson the greatest human ever.  FTLOSBW predicts a 300 yard game this weekend against the Bears.  Vikes win 24 - 10.

Twins Ryan Cleaning House - Bye Bye Ben Revere

Second move in as many weeks as the Twins move Ben Revere to the Phillies for pitching. 

I like the moves because standing still sucks and we need starting pitching to compete.  I like Ben's speed and he's decent at the plate but has a terrible arm.

Maybe Mauer to LF?


There Is No God - Percy's Season Done

The mystery is over, Percy's done for the season as the Vikes shut him down.   Looks like the season now rests squarely on AP.  I, for one, predict big things.  Bears are without Urlacher this weekend, can anyone say "300 yard game for AP?"  I can.  Exciting.

We just need to get it done, as Burgess Meredith once said about wishing for things -

Shit in a bag - Vikes at Pack

Well, that was terrible but consistent with the Vikes.  Not much to really say other than AP is reaching best Viking of all time status.  Different outcome with Percy.

You heard it here first - we win out.

You can't tell from the photo but there's a tear in his left eye.  Don't cry, Bobble-Head-Double-Zero-Guy, we're gonna pull outta this.  Keep the faith.
