Some say I'm too laid back. Really, I'm just too lazy to argue with them.

Weight...I'll say better then 4 years ago but will never reach those freaking "experts" stupid ideal weight. I mean seriously I'm supposed to weight what I did went I was a kid.

BMI and "ideal weight". What a crock of crap! Why have they not fixed this yet? I know skinny people who are considered "overweight". Okay, bye!

None

No big readers around here. *lol*

I guess we read about sports and call it good!

I'll tell you a funny story about 1st meeting my Georgia in-laws. Their from northern Georgia right in the foothills of the Appalachians. Middle of nowhere. My wife was married young before me to a local boy who was a loser drinker and drug user not any kind of provider or partner. She divorced him and ran away to Florida. He died anyhow after. I came from what I consider a big family. Hers is huuuge. Her mom was a tough as nails matriarch. She outlived 2 husbands and raised 10 kids pretty much on her own. Needless to say I was intimidated. You hear stories about overbearing mother in-laws. Well she liked me alot. Took a little time to see what I was made of. That and I was a damn yankee. All she cared was I had a job. I didn't use drugs and I wasn't hitting her daughter. We got along great. Husband #1 was a useless POS but he really did lower the bar nicely for me...lol.

If being a Viking fan was easy ~ everyone would do it.

Name (or User Name) - John

Where do you live? - (Planet or Country or State or City or GPS Coordinates - [GPS coordinates? Don't answer that! Are you insane??!! - Do you know how many weirdos there are in the world!]) N36.145 W94.246 (yes I know how many weirdos there are in the world. I gotta have breakfast with them every morning. Goofy bunch, just don't stare at Josh too long he gets paranoid. I heard he has a thing for his sisters.)

When/why did you become a Vikings Fan? 1984 because I'm dumb. Steckel was a sign and I was completely oblivious. I should have picked the Patriots.

Who was/is your favorite player(s)? Joey Browner and Marcus Sherels

What is your favorite Vikings Memory? Anything Joey Browner did. Especially whenever he hurt anyone's feelings, or shattered their legs making a one handed diving horse collar tackle from behind.

What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow? Hey, whatever keeps her from being an unladen spitter.

What other sports/teams do you enjoy? All of them when they're losing.

What are your hobbies? Dunking on feminists and Special Ted. Both are so easy.

What is your weight? It's currently about 68 on Mars.

What do you do for a living? Debunk feels before facts nonsense wherever I encounter it.

What is/are your favorite movie(s) and/or TV shows? ~~Game of Thrones~~, Dexter, Family Guy, and now that I don't have a TV, whatever propaganda I can find on YT to poison my mind.

What is/are your favorite book(s)? GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Any other information you'd like to tell us about yourself? My pronouns are he, him, and his, just like half the world. I also recognize she, her, and hers for the other half. And sometimes it when it's unclear.

Dogs or cats? (the most important question) Depends on if we're talking about as a best friend or what we should feed the starving polar bears.

Hello outthere fellow Vikings fans. Iam greg, I live in Philadelphia, and I love the NFL. I began following football way back in 1977 when I was in middle school. I began collecting TOPPS football cards and began learning the team names , etc. I was attracted to the VIKINGS, because of there warrior type history. But then there were teams like the Raiders, and the new team the Buccaneers that had catchy names. So I decided to stick with the VIKINGS, and so there it was, the RAIDERS vs VIKINGS in Super Bowl 11. Yeah the Vikings lost the game but I began liking them. I collected TOPPS team cards every year, I now have team sets raging from 1974- 2010. I have a collection of about 100 games on dvd going from most recent years , back to SUPER BOWL 8.I have the VIKINGS team history on dvd. I have Mcfarlane figures of Tarkenton, Moss, Peterson, Harvin, Culpepper, Favre, Allen, and Bennett. Mini-helmets, hats, 3x5 ft flags, and a winter jacket. I think that I have enough credentials to say iam a VIKINGS fan.

Yeah I happened to grow up in Minnesota so I was indoctrinated into this particular cult of purple, but I like to think had I grown up somewhere that didn't have a team that I would have chosen the Vikings anyway because of the name and overall theme they have. Doesn't get more badass than Vikings lol. Too bad they haven't lived up to the name, outside of the regular season. The Raiders would have been high on the list as well.

On a side note, the AFL originally awarded Minnesota the new Raiders franchise in 1960 as one of it's 8 founding teams, but the NFL didn't like the sound of that so they awarded Minnesota a franchise as well, which forced the AFL to find a new location. I mean Minnesota eff'd the AFL hard in that whole situation, and at the last minute too lol. I mean that unnamed Minnesota franchise even participated in the first AFL draft xD. So yeah, we only have an NFL franchise because they wanted to cock block the AFL lol. Just before the creation of the AFL, Lamar Hunt, approached the NFL about expansion, but they weren't interested. Oh wait, you're going to start your own league? Ok now we're interested in expansion. Hey Minnesota, want a team lol? Do we thank the AFL? I don't know how to feel about it, but when I found out it almost made it seem like the Vikings were the adopted redheaded child of the NFL. They never wanted a franchise here, they needed this market to feed the beloved Packers franchise. The golden child. It's why the Packers were forced to start playing half their games in Milwaukee ... haha j/k, they were playing in Milwaukee long before the Vikings game along, but wouldn't that have been funny? But just think, the Minnesota Raiders would have 3 Lombardi's. *whistle*
