Ok, that was rude.

Sorry, Sam...I wouldn't be able to even walk on that field without tripping on my own feet. 

I knew at half-time, Minnesota was going to have a rough day following the day.  Some people...(and I won't name any names)...have a really hard time processing a Vikings loss.

I mean, we should be used to it as a state.  It keeps happening every year.  We get our hopes up, we buy new swag, we get excited for a game at U.S. Bank Stadium, and we even say things like, "I have hope".

And then...well, you know what happens.
