FELDY: Jared Allen is a freakin' beast . Discuss. ...
Having seen the Vikings lose at Lambeau Field approximately six of the eight times I've seen them play there, I've come to hate Todd Rundgren . See, I've seen the Packers score so many touchdowns, immediately follwed by the song "Bang on the drum all day" that I usually get a nervous twitch when I hear that song.
So it's safe to say my smile grew a bit wider yesterday when Mason Crosby (barely) missed that 52-yarder in the final minute of the game to give the Vikes a one-point win over the Packers, because whoever runs the sound at Metrodome immediately blared Todd Rundgren's greatest (only?) hit.
There are plenty of things Vikes fans could nitpick about today. It's a game the Packers certainly could have won, despite being outplayed for a whole game. But, for today, Purple rubes, let's just enjoy our first win over the Cheeseheads in, like, 17 years.
By the way, Packers fans were out in full force yesterday, though they weren't quite as loud at about 3:30 as they were at 10 a.m. in the tailgating lots.

My favorite Cheesehead story from Sunday: I'm in line waiting to use one of the fine portable restrooms in our tailgating lot. In front of me is a Vikings rube wearing his Helga Horns. Next to him is a drunken Sconnie wearing a cheesehead. Drunken Sconnie turns to Helga Horn Guy and says "Do you realize how ridiculous you look wearing those braids?" Honestly, a grown man wearing a styrofoam brick on his head, is telling someone else they look ridiculous. ... Can't make it up.
