Hope you had a good time at the game! With their 27-10 win over Detroit today the Vikings improve to 7-1, and, barring a collpase in the second half of the season, are in good shape to take the NFC North this year.

Thanks I did, it was awesome . I'm real excitied about this season.
But I think I wore myself out yesterday lol

At the moment Indianapolis and New Orleans remain the only undefeated teams, at 8-0.

Speaking of the Colts did you see them beat the Patriots? Wow what an ending! I can't believe they went for it on fourth down instead of just punting it away and relying on their defense.

Belated congrats to Joe Mauer of the Twins, this year's MVP in the American League.

In the NFC, talk is already turning to the playoffs, with the Saints (11-0) and the Vikings (10-1) duking it out for home field advantage (barring a season-end collapse by either team). The Eagles and Packers (both 7-4) have the edge in the wild-card hunt.

In the AFC, the Colts (11-0) have their spot sewn up; the other divisions are too close to call at the moment.

After the Saints blowout of the overrated Pats (this is not the same team that won 3 SB in 4 years, nor the one that cruised to a 16-0 season) if the Saints and Vikings are not in the NFC Championship Game, something dramtic would have to happen. That being said, the Cardials did it last year, coming out of no-where to compete with the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

The Colts are undefeated, but barely. They have had many close games and right now, their biggest challenge will be a Denver D that's playing to thier potential. The Broncos get a week to prepare with the Chiefs before going to Indy. They have the best chance and ruining Indy's perfect season. And though they are a game back, only a MAJOR upset by the Chiefs or the Raiders will keep them away from the Chargers. Go Broncos.

Current AFC Picture, Colts are in. Bengals are almost a clinch, with a three game lead in thier division (two games plus tie breakers). Denver and Chargers will go to the wire as usual, but this time, both are going to the playoffs, one as a Div winner, one as a Wild Card. The Pats are a Dophin win away from having thier Division a race again. They are looking at a 4th seed right now. Wild Card Race: Denver's in the lead. Ravens are next with the Steelers, Jags, and Dolphins in reach. Of course, so are the now upstart Titans. It wasn't that long ago when the Titans started 0-7 en route to a 8-8 record, with Vince Young at the helm. I won't rule them out yet.

I got to go to the Jaguars vs. 49ers game last Sunday. First time going to a professional football game, and 'twas very fun! (Plus, I got to go for free since it was part of a volunteer event where I would help out during the halftime show.) I think what I enjoyed the most about being in the stadium (as opposed to watching from the couch) is feeling the energy of all the fans around you as they cheer their team on.

Anyways, from what I gathered, the Jaguars had a 3-game winning streak going into the game, while the 49ers had a 5w-6l record.

From what I saw, the Jaguars managed to prove that making fourth-down conversions without sufficiently protecting the quarterback is a bad idea.

Anyways, also from what I gathered, the Jaguars' loss officially gives the Colts a spot in the finals, if I'm not mistaken. I hope they do well. After beating the Bears that one Super Bowl (*grumblegrumble*), they have to prove they are capable of winning it all again.

On a side note, I think that being able to kick a football on a field goal attempt so that it hits the goalpost itself is a pretty cool feat. Alas, it scores no points. Also, stadium food is horribly overpriced. Free tailgate food, though, is awesome.

I think we can all agree that Danny Green flogged roy jones jr last night. comeon 2 minuets and 2 seconds. not much of a fight.

Is anyone else anticipating Vancouver 2010??? I can't wait till the Olympics!!!

Yeah, been lookin forward to it a long time. Only problem is that the winter olympics are during school so it's hard to watch a lot.
But I won't miss the skiing, that's for sure.

I not a big fan on winter olympics i liek summer a lot better(just has better sport) well most of them are better.

The Vikings didn't disappoint today!
At first, I thought oh man we might be in trouble. But, Brett Favre delivered and I have hopes for next week.
And as far as that last unnecessary touchdown, ok maybe a little mean, but get over it Cowboys

Jets are beating the Chargers right now. The Championship games are looking to be pretty good. I really excited about the Saints/Vikings game. Based on who is left, I ready to put money down that the Super Bowl winner is going to come from the NFC. Thoses two teams look too good for the Colts or the Jets (who just scored as I typed this post to take a 17-7 lead with 7 minutes to go in regulation). I don't see the Chargers being able to get past the Jet D which has given the Chargers headaches the whole day.

If the Vikings can play as well as they did today, they definitely have a shot at beating the Saints next week. One disadvantage will be the crowd noise - today it was to their advantage, but next week the Superdome crowd will be working against them.

It's been over 30 years since the Vikings went to the Super Bowl. I was still in high school back then!

The Saints have never been to the Super Bowl (one of five teams to have never been to the dance). To be honest, I have reasons to root for both teams and regardless, I am rooting for the winner in the Super Bowl. The NFC Championship Game is slated to be one of the best in years. And I will safely say that the Viking will do WAY better than they did in thier last visit to this game (a 41-0) blowout against the Giants who then lost to the Ravens in the SB. So I won't pick a team to root for in this game. I just know it's going to be a good one.

Onto Basketball, my Denver Nuggets just had a big win against the Jazz and are yet again making a stand for being the team to challenge the Lakers in the West. It's going to be a good spring for me, especially with the Avalanche doing very well in Hockey and the Rockies getting ready to make another playoff run in Baseball.

I do sympathize with the Saints, inasmuch as they've never advanced this far, and have had a great season. But as a lifelong Minnesotan who well remembers those 4 Vikings Super Bowl losses, my allegiance must lie elsewhere, at least for the moment.

And speaking of baseball, there's some excitement here as the Twins prepare to move to their new home in downtown Minneapolis this spring, and outdoor major-league baseball returns to Minnesota after several decades. Just so the home opener doesn't get snowed out (like it would have last year if the Twins hadn't been playing indoors )

Well I'm disappointed in how the playoffs are playing out but at least the Colts are still in it.
On to basketball Roy Williams just experienced his first three game losing streak at Carolina last night. Although they were two men down, nonetheless they should have done better than they did.
