As long as Millen is with Detroit, they will be total non-factors.<BR/><BR/>This week, I hope that if Johnson tanks, he'll at least do it early in the game...T-Jack would get plenty of playing time, if that were the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-1165650532561554602006-12-09T01:48:00.000-06:002006-12-09T01:48:00.000-06:00I was missing a few of those links--thanks for poi...I was missing a few of those links--thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Hopefully, the Vikings internet community can start to rival the Twins' community when it comes to depth and quality of writing.TBird41https://www.blogger.com/profile/12561900451394323315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-1165637359600498612006-12-08T22:09:00.000-06:002006-12-08T22:09:00.000-06:00What post did discussion on football violence occu...What post did discussion on football violence occur?Blue Viking Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816148189650832893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-1165622044380660942006-12-08T17:54:00.000-06:002006-12-08T17:54:00.000-06:00As to Detroit having good teams, remember that unt...As to Detroit having good teams, remember that until this year, the Tigers were a Lion level laughingstock. And I still remember the "Dead Things" era when they had to give away cars between periods to get anybody to attend hockey games. Actually, I remember the Lions being champions. Granted, I was a toddler at the time and the term "Superbowl" hadn't been coined. My point is that we are well used to decade long slumps here. Were it not so, WCF and his gang of serial failures would have been run out of town long ago. In Motown too, there is no such thing as a homer reporter. "Write" and "rip" are football synonyms here. But our press corps has plenty of justification for taking that stance.<BR/>Incidentally, you are not the only veg pacifist football fan around. I have been vegan for twenty odd years and am a lifelong pacifist and football fan. A friend with similar sentiments has been vegetarian for 35 years. As to the football violence issue, there is a vast difference between paid professionals getting hurt in a sporting accident and children being maimed and killed for something they can't understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
