The Mayor’s got a fever and the only thing that can cure it is watching guys in purple prance around a football field. Here’s the sermon:

SKOAL VIKINGS…lets get this thing going! The Football season has officially begun and Vikings fans across the globe are rejoicing at the positivity that is rolling with this team. Granted it is only the first week of camp and the true Minnesota pessimists are not yet out in full force, but the aura in Mankato seems a little different this year. Is it that this is finally going to be the year we drop the ‘Queens’ title and truly become the Kings of the NFL? Hell no! But with an owner in his second year, a totally revamped coaching staff, adding the best offensive lineman in the NFL, and the makings of a sound defense, it is a step in the right direction.

Offensively we may not be as exciting as previous years, but a better offensive line with guard Chad Hutchinson and returning center Matt Birk here for the 2006 season, good things may soon follow. Brad Johnson is no spring chicken, but at 37 (38, August 13th) he is no dinosaur either. He is only one year older than Brett Favre and one year wiser. Seriously Brett,
is this really the most talented team you have ever played on?

Brad Johnson will not be calling this the most talented team he has ever played on, but it is not the worst. Just like our site, better things are yet to come and thanks to everyone who has visited us and written to us. I hope everyone feels as we do that it is time for a good ol’ home on the web for Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalries and hopefully we will fill that small niche in your life.

Until next time, get those chorizos ready for the tailgate grill…
