CLARIFICATION
It's true, I probably leave out some words and thoughts every once in a while, but my motive in the Tribune letter writer post was to rake the letter writer over the coals. Jason Barker of the USS Mariner was a conduit of the information, and I agreed with what he said, whereas Barry McLean (the letter writer) makes me sick.
With that out of the way...it's gotta suck to be a Vikings fan today. Everyone in the upper Midwest probably just realized that it's basketball and hockey season, and that the Timberwolves and the Wild really aren't that bad. Sure, the Seahawks were 6-2 and went 4-4 in the secodn half of the season to finish 10-6 (accurately predicted by John Clayton)...but the Vikings started 6-0 and finished 3-7 to MISS the playoffs. This might be a worse collapse than what we witnessed with the 2003 Mariners.
