A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Dear Little Crying Vikings Girl, I know how you feel. Every Vikings loss, especially to the Packers, makes me want to cry and wonder what went wrong in my life that I cheer for that team. I wish I could tell you that it gets better as a Vikings fan, but it really doesn’t.
As they did last time the Packers and Vikings played, Amanda Lawson and Drew Lange decided to do their game preview in the form of an entertaining, candid email exchange. Here it is.
With the NFL season at its midway point, and the Detroit Lions clearly one of the biggest stories of the first half of the season, here are our Midseason NFL Power Rankings: Motown Edition, with each team presented alongside a Motown classic that sums up the first half of its season.
This is a question Jerod has been thinking about a lot over the past several weeks, as he, like everyone else, continues to be more and more impressed (and surprised) by how well Cam Newton is transitioning to the NFL in his first season. Jerod offers his thoughts on the matter and invites you to share yours.
After another Sunday of NFL action, which “professional” football teams are putting themselves in the best position to draft Andrew Luck and guarantee themselves at least 8 out of the next 10 Super Bowls? As we do every week, we’ll break it down for you right here in the Suck 4 Luck Power Rankings.
As he wades through the much to prepare the NFL Power Rankings for Week 8, Drew is sure of only three things: 1) the Packers, Saints and Patriots are the only truly good teams in the league; 2) the Colts, Rams, and Dolphins are the worst teams in the league since the ’08 Lions; 3) the rest of the league is a cluster of inconsistent football.
Jerod is back, filling in for Jon as the author of this week’s Start Em, Sit Em lineup advice post. Those of you wondering what to do with Tim Tebow, Chris Johnson, and Brandon Lloyd will want to pay extra special attention.
In this episode of “Lawson and Lange”, Packers fanatic Amanda Lawson and Vikings sufferer Jrue Lange discuss and predict this week’s not-so-epic matchup between NFC North rivals.
Even though this post series’ namesake likely thinks we’re idiots for continuing to post it, post we will. Here are the top contenders for Andrew Luck with Week 6 nearly in the books.
Week 5 is almost in the books, with just the highly anticipated Lions-Bears Monday night matchup left to play. Since neither of those teams will be bad enough this season to even come close to the #1 pick, there is no need to wait on tonight’s result to post the latest edition of the “Suck 4 Luck” Power Rankings.
Drew and Amanda often exchange Facebook messages, tweets, and emails that include lots of Packers-Vikings trash talk. This post is an email thread between the two in which Drew does his best to jinx the undefeated Packers and Amanda tries to hold back her laughter while discussing the winless Vikings.
In this week’s NFL Power Rankings, Drew Lange ranks every team from 1-32, explains his reasoning for not liking teams adding pink to their uniforms during October, and provides useful advice about drunk girls alone at bars.
The Tinley children are on Fall Break, so we’re spending the week vacationing on Perdido Key. I was without Internet access until yesterday, when I successfully guessed the password for a wireless router in a neighboring condo. A word of advice: If you’re in Florida and your wireless password is “sunshine,” you’re inviting anyone who can pick up your signal to use your Internet. Anyway, here are some things we learned this week.
Another week of football players on football teams playing National Football League football games is in the books*, which means that it’s time to assess the carnage and see which teams are now best positioned in the yearlong “Suck 4 Luck” Sweepstakes.
“If the Vikings lose this game I’m never watching them again.” That line line, spoken by Drew Lange’s father, is the first memory he has of watching Minnesota Vikings football. Yet despite three straight excruciating losses, Drew will be back watching the Vikings again on Sunday. Here is what he expects.
