The joys of being a Vikings fan
October 7, 2008
To those of us that are Minnesota Vikings fans, we are able to enjoy many perks of being so.
1. We are able to wear the color purple, despite how “femmy” it may look, and not be called gay.
2. When the Vikings win a game, we are able to rejoice and look forward to next week’s game against some team that’s done far worse than us all season…..only to be beaten by them….in the most ridiculous way.
3. We get the joy of saying “We had Randy Moss first.” We also have the joy of saying “We had Tarvaris Jackson first.”
4. The Vikings have are tied for third with the most super bowl visits….and also have the most Super Bowl losses.
5. Bud Grant….and Mike Tice
6. Dennis Green was fired from our franchise (only had one losing season) and went to turn around the Arizona Cardinals to a somewhat competitive team, where we haven’t had a playoff season since he left.
7. The Gophers get their own football stadium, and if the Vikings ever get their own stadium, we have to play in the Gophers stadium until it’s done…much like the Gophers are doing now.
8. 1998 and 1999 rocked…..why did 2000 have to come?
9. at least our division sucks….just like us
10. We can tease Packer fans after the Pack loses a game…which they rarely lose against the Vikings….ouch!

How do you if you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan? I’ve come up with a top 10 list of ways in my opinion to tell:
10. You know the entire purple line-up by heart, including coaching staff, cheer leading staff, office crew, owners, and scouts.
9. You have Zygi Wilf’s autograph.
8. You hate Brett Farve more than you’re ex-wife who took half of your stuff.
7. Purple isn’t gay.
6. You’re best friend is a packers fan.
5. You think it would be the greatest Superbowl in history if the Packers and Vikings faced off.
4. You cry after the Vikings lose, but still say that it’s a hopeful season.
3. Purple is still not gay.
2. You’ve never heard of Leif Erikson.
1. That damn Brett Farve!!!
