There always seemed to be more heartbreak than joy...because you expect your team to win, and are crushed by disappointment.<BR/><BR/>Of course, thanks to the internet, I can keep up with things, and watch the highlights, but even a crushing loss doesn't seem to ruin my day like it once did (perhaps because I find out what happens each Sunday night).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15679589.post-8063786172786592172009-01-08T19:29:00.000-06:002009-01-08T19:29:00.000-06:00Wonder who will make fewer changes for next season...Wonder who will make fewer changes for next season, the Vikings or the Bills?Vagablonde Bombchellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196698243984365050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15679589.post-37511097555419764182008-11-30T17:14:00.000-06:002008-11-30T17:14:00.000-06:00Wow, Buffalo lost AGAIN today.

I recall this being at least two or three plays...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15679589.post-45109413725452268012008-11-22T11:50:00.000-06:002008-11-22T11:50:00.000-06:00I'm going to have to share this with John as I kno...I'm going to have to share this with John as I know he is feeling the same things! He usually needs to go to a bar to watch the games, but stated last night that he's done. We reach this point every year!<BR/><BR/>He thinks they have been losing because we haven't gone to church in 3 weeks. So yes, we will be going tonight. We'll see if it helps! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15679589.post-37983950763369272902008-11-22T08:05:00.000-06:002008-11-22T08:05:00.000-06:00addendum-sorry about the spelling, just got off a ...addendum-sorry about the spelling, just got off a night shift.Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15679589.post-47893468317206280722008-11-22T08:03:00.000-06:002008-11-22T08:03:00.000-06:00Actually, for a long time to be a Minnesotan was a...Actually, for a long time to be a Minnesotan was a lesson in complete heartbreak as far as pro sports. As a kid, I watched the Vikings get totally outplayed in 4 Super Bowels. I still see red every time I see the NFL films archive footage of Chief's coach Hank Stram gloating "This is just like STEALING!" as as his offense used misdirection to great effect where Carl Eller and Alan Page were grasping at ghosts. The Twins came up short very often as a kid, the North Stars were oh for two in Stanley Cup finals...hell, even Minnesotans who ran for President, Humphrey and Mondale were 0-2. <BR/><BR/>Thanks God for the 87 and 91 Twins. I have said it before: I have seen Bruce Springsteen in Concert, I have played rugby with my son, U gave held my grandchild, and I have seen the Twins win the World Series. I can die tomorrow a happy fan.<BR/><BR/>PS Spare a thought for the people of Western New York, who have had the Bills and Sabres come up short. They live in a city that is slowly dying, and they are some of the nicest people I have ever met anywhere. If any city deserves a winner, who have done their fair share of suffering it's Buffalo.(Chicago does not count, because they still have the 85 Bears and 6 NBA titles with Michael Jordan)Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.com
