Minnesota Vikings News and Links: January 16th and 17th, 2021
Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
It’s time for the Divisional Round of the playoffs and as a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills I’m excited to see my favorite team the Bills defeat the Baltimore Ravens. Today’s lead picture of Stefon Diggs (and Adam Thielen) is by request from yesterday in the comments, if you have a player’s picture you want me to post up here let me know. As always, I still wish the Vikings were a better team and were playing this weekend, but they aren’t. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s the weekend, time to check the beer menu and get that pizza and wings ordered, it’s going to be a football weekend!
Brady vs the Expectations game revisited
With one exception I’ve had little use for the new Woke NFL this season. As you may or may not know I’ve never been a huge football fan, but I’ve been a fan of three players in my lifetime. The 1st of Steve Grogan who I thought was the toughest player to ever play QB and the 2nd was his favorite receiver Stanley Morgan.
The 3rd is Tom Brady, who single handedly turned around the Boston Sports scene. His success forced the other franchises to get serious about winning. During his time in Boston 12 championships came here, six of them won by him but every major franchise won at least one title (Ironically just as Brady won as many titles as all the major franchise combined his three losses in title game also equals all the other Boston franchise during that time).
