Lets all punch a Packer fan in the face today. Sounds like a good idea to me.
————————————————

I’m pretty sure the girlfriend of Erik Walden was a Packer fan. And now you suggest condoning violence against women…typical Viking fan.

I think MN’s run defense can slow the read option down. Thumbs Up for Tebow can throw on MN for high score and Thumbs down if MN’s defense can make it an average Tebow game.

No, I am sure it has nothing to do with Tim Tebow.

Also, Tim Tebow.

Furthermore, Tim Tebow.

Which reminds me, Tim Tebow.

I wonder that Tim Tebow thinks about the way Tim Tebow Tebows the Tebow when he Tim Tebows.

Do you think Tim Tebow Tim Tebow Tim Tebow Tim Tebow? And you remember the Tim Tebow when Tim Tebow and Tim Tebow Tim Tebow’ed and then Tim Tebow Tim Tebow?

Yeah. Tim Tebow.

Got to go. Everyone have a Tim Tebow Tebow!

They’ve been doing this for a while now whenever it looks like a blackout is coming.
They prefer to not loose the advertising revenue.
The truth is if it wasn’t for them and the owners doing it, a lot of games the last two years would have been blacked out.

By the way, America, we need to talk…So, if any of you happen to go to that game, notice how you describe it. Do you call your ex and be all, “I’m at the Viking game with Gert and Inga–when are you gonna come retrieve your leather goods”? Or, do you say, “…Vikings game”? Or, is it too taboo a subject, best left unspoken?

Anyway, I hope they have TV at Applebee’ses so me and my broses can meet up to watch the Stanford Cardinals vs. the Harvard Crimsons.

You barely get enough people to come to your games to avoid a blackout and Wilf wants the taxpayers to pony up 700 million dollars for a new stadium.

Freaking hilarious. I’d impeach every politician that votes yes on this stadium deal.
—————————————-
What’s freaking hilarious is the fact you spew this from your typewrite without reading the entire heading or article. They have sold out every game since 1997. To act as though this is a continuous thing is ridiculous especially if the information is there for you to read.

Stadium cost is 1 billion, Wilf’s kicking in $425 million. That leaves $575 million. Why do you intentionally keep using the wrong number?

In the midst of a horrid season things are looking up. The state has a projected $876 million budget surplus, no doubt the stadium gets built. A Super Bowl and Final Fours for all! Even you Wisconsin, we all know your hatred of our woeful Vikings is derived from jealousy toward our state. Pro sports, major collegiate events, arts, restaurants, shopping. and Fortune 500 companies. No need to rub it in though, it is after all the reason why you people move to MN, because it’s better. Enjoy that trophy case though!

—————————————–
I’m sorry boobgay but you’re badly mistaken. We don’t hate your state per se, what we hate is the delusional(read your post), galling, unmerited, condescending arrogance of lavender twits like YOU!

Few years back when Tarvarus lead them to the playoffs they couldn’t even sell out that PLAYOFF game without help of the broadcasting station.
