12 reasons to hate the Minnesota Vikings.
So, we made it past one old quarterback, now on to the next. Please remember that this is all in good fun, but feel free to offer your feedback and your own reasons to hate!
12 Reasons to hate the Vikings:
12. In New Orleans, this guy would be arrested for vagrancy (a serious feat).

11. Vikings play two sports. Football and RAPE!
Ok, fine. It wasn’t ALL raping and pillaging, but some of it was. HATE!1!!1!1!
10. Adrian Peterson poses for nudie mags.

9. Brad Childress sounds like a very bored Batman.

8. Minneapolis used to be sister cities with Winnipeg. Apparently, they are too good for this gentle northern neighbor. These docile canucks have since been replaced by Najaf, Iraq and Cuernavaca, Mexico, officially securing their reputation as the premier relatives of Marijuana and Opium giants.

7. Some Vikings like it hot in this frigid state. In 2005, many of the Vikings were involved in a massive orgy on Lake Minnetonka. Gross.

6. Garrison Keillor. While Prairie Home Companion is a great companion for any prairie home, this Minnesotan’s face for radio is reason enough to cringe. He’s always reminded me of the melted Nazi face from Indiana Jones.

5. Fellow Louisianan’s, brace yourself as I reveal to you a politician more crazy and irrelevant than anyone that you have ever seen run for your local public office.

Jesse Ventura, Minnesota governor.
4. Minnesota’s state drink is milk. Why is this relevant, you ask? Milk is delicious, a money maker, and a wonderful source of calcium and vitamin D.
It’s important because…THEY STOLE IT!
Louisiana designated milk as its official state drink in 1983, and following what was obviously a momentous PR success, the Minnesotans tried to replicate this by doing the exact same thing in ’84.

3. Jared Allen’s Mullet.

Business in the front, party in the back, super-awesome stripes on the side.
Awful all over.
2. Mall of America field? Can I order an Orange Julius in the Metrodome?

1. I kept trying to decide if I wanted to put Brett Favre in this list. I wasn’t sure if I could do better with or without him, or if I even had enough steam left to continue through the post-season.

Great post
I’m hoping we won’t see much of Jared Allen’s mullet next week. I’m sure that him attacking Bushrod will be a large part of their defensive game plan. Bushrod will be up for the challenge. If not, I’m sure Payton will have a contingency plan.
How’s this for a mullet? Yikes!

don't be funny
thats Allen and you know it :)
"When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch. In recent years, Budweiser has been the MVP of Super Bowl advertising -- making another company the favorite to win the Ad Meter poll was never an option."
Simon Noble
thats amazing

Here's a better reason than all 12 combined:
These Barneys have beaten the Saints in the playoffs TWICE, it’s time for retribution.
Oh, and the facemask against Bush last season…yeah, that too.
Let’s send the purple dinosaurs home on a slab this year!!!!

Appreciate the love.
It’s hard work, but I do it because it draws a good response.
I hope I get the chance to make one more this season.
There is only ONE reason to hate the Vikes. They aint Saints and they Stink
and from what I’ve see, they aint too good at Banking either……………..
My Magnificent Black and Goald Warriors
Not your best hate list, I really loved the hate list for the Cards that was awesome.
Colts/Saints Superbowl people and the best place to be for it won’t be Miami – it has to be New Orleans. You got a New Orleans native (Manning) playing against the Saints. Sounds like Miami will be a bore.
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon...smart too late. - Mike Tyson
I agree actually.
The Cards and Cowboys were my best.
There just isn’t that much to hate about the state of minnesota.
speaking of wood chippers.
I considered a Fargo reference, but I couldn’t, for the life of me, think of anything I disliked about it.
Childress
1. Looks like he should not be allowed within 500 yards of a school playground.
2. Looks like that dude from the 80’s show “Simon and Simon”
3. Looks like a Subway ‘sandwich artist’ with that silly headset he wears.
anybody else?

At the risk of giving away my age
(and my quirky music tastes) I have to share that whenever I see Childress I think of hte “mascot” for 70s progressive rock band “Gentle Giant”:

By the way, I say this as someone whose followed Childress 20 years, since his time in the college ranks, and respects him probably more than your average Vikings fan. But that doesn’t change that he looks a little creepy ::)
Wasn't Childress the one with the pitchfork in that painting???

My 3 Reasons
1.Vikes knock Saints out play-offs in the past.
2.Who wants to see them go to SB, and lose again!
3.Throwing for it on 4th & 3 w/ 2:00 min v. Crygirls and scoring a TD when game was out of reach(glad to see’em get beat) but such a class-less move. The NFL Gods will punish them just for that by losing in N.O. in NFC Champ. game.
You think you know, and you don't know, and you never, ever will.-Jim Mora Sr.
Nah, they should have just given the Vikes 14 points for the one...
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or there is this point of view as well… Vikings criticized for not running the score up enough on Cowboys
