Talkin' 'bout the Whores on Positive Day
Life is truly great. I absolutely mean it, and not only if you're a friend of the President and can get nominated for any job opening in the government, regardless of your qualifications. No, I mean I'm enoying my time on this planet watching everything that goes on, sometimes commenting on it, most of the time just keeping my mouth shut and taking it all in.
Think about the Minnesota Vikings, for example, and their nice guy coach Mike Tice. Here's a team that has played two good halves of football this year in 6 games. They had a good half of football against the New Orleans Saints back in September and held on to win after going flat in the second half. Then yesterday they stunk up the Metrodome in the first half, spotting Green Bay a 17 point halftime lead. The Vikings played inspired football in the second half and won the game on a last second Paul Edinger field goal, the longest in franchise history. So they've played two good halves of football out of twelve halves this season. You may have noticed my love of graphs, and I probably should have graphed this out, but that means the Vikings have played good football one sixth of the time this year, just 16.7% of the time they've played winning football.
So the Vikings play crappy 83.3% of the time while they're on the field. Recent reports indicate the Vikings may be bad a greater percentage of the time when they're off the field. It seems that the Vikings like the whores. They brought a bunch of them along on a little cruise they took on Lake Minnetonka a couple of weeks ago. They didn't even have the common decency to use local whores, but flew in out-of-state whores to take part in the fun. They had their fun with their whores in full view of other passengers and crew members on the boat.
All of this hardly sounds like Positive Day fare, but I'm getting there. The Vikings are generally bad on the field, and generally bad off the field. By all accounts, this should be a season that the Vikings should want to forget, but look at the NFC North Division standings this morning:
So I say good for the Vikings. The season should be completely lost, but they're only one game out of first place in the NFC North. This is a fun division to watch because every team is incredibly flawed, but the rules are the rules, and one of these four teams is going to make the playoffs. They may do it with a losing or .500 record, but one of them will still be playing at the end of December.
The Vikings are completely disfunctional, the Bears have a rookie quarterback who wasn't that good in college, the Lions have tons of talent on offense but not so much of defense, the Packers can't keep anyone healthy. This is going to be a lot of fun to just sit back and see what developes. Green Bay, with Brett Favre, who has, at times this year looke Brett Favre-like is only two games out of this. Yep, this is going to be fun!
