So the Vikings did just about everything they could to blow Sunday's game against Detroit- giving up 178 offensive yards in the fourth quarter, including two touchdowns and an endzone pass interference call in the last two minutes- but because of a bobbled snap on the tying extra point, the Vikes won the game 28-27. And because of that, Minnesota is almost certain to make the playoffs in the sorry, no-account NFC, making them more likely (groan) to retain Mike Tice.
Fox was nice enough to switch over to the end of Vikings-Lions after the Eagles beat the Cowboys; my first reaction to the TO injury was, "can he still dance?"
Posted by Stephen Silver at December 20, 2004 01:45 AMWe Philly fans sure as hell hope so. We haven't had a real cause to celebrate for a long time. Three consecutive NFC Championship losses really stings, Steve. Watching TO dance gives us hope.
Plus, we hate our opponents much more viscerally than many other teams' fans do.

I never would have guessed that.
I don't know which is more dangerous, playing football in Philly, basketball in Detroit, baseball in New York, or hockey with Todd Bertuzzi.
