12 Reasons to Hate the Minnesota Vikings...Again!

I'm back! Welcome to the first edition of this season's 12 reasons to hate. Please remember the rules. These are just jokes, and please, supply your own at will. For a recap of last season's 12 reasons, check here. Enjoy: 

 

1. Brett Favre's ankle.

I'm all for supporting your team, Brett, but going so far as to changing the color of your ankle? Oh, he's such a gunslinger. So totally unpredictable, that fella!

2.  Brett Favre's middle name.  Can we just call him Lorenzo from now on?

3.   Brett Favre's tears.

Norris's cure cancer, Tebow's lead to National Championships and first round draft picks, and Favre's make the 24 hour news cycle nauseating.

4.   Jared Allen wants to "beat the tar" out of the Saints. Perhaps he learned what that feels like from that time he spent in jail after his third DUI.  1? Standard for his type of personality. 2? Dumb and dangerous. 3? He should be playing less red rover and spending more time on the All-American Longest Yard team.

5.  They are trying to take away Reggie's Heisman. This has nothing to do with the Vikings, but c'mon!

6. But they TOTALLY deserved to win the Super Bowl last time!  It was the curse! The Saints stole the victory from the Vikes through shoddy officiating, unsportsmen-like defense, and Adrian Peterson's serious addiction to fumbling. Also, see any excuse other than the fact that the Saints were a better team.

7.   Prince. He be stealin' our wimmenz and changin' his name ‘n' junk.  Also, he writes songs about the Vikings beating the Saints.  That worked out well last time.

8.  Alright, let's clear this up once and for all.   It is Purple and Yellow.  Not Gold. This is Yellow. This is Gold. Get it? What are the bets that we'll have to revisit this come Steelers time?

9.  Skol is bad for you. You could get mouth cancer.

10.   Many of you know that a Vikings fan told me that a loss in last season's NFC Championship was going to feel like losing my house to Katrina again. I promptly boycotted his wing restaurant and when I got back to Oxford, MS this summer I discovered his business had shut down.  So sad.  Apparently, not everyone understood the power of my wrath, as this guy continues to muster up bad voodoo for the Vikes. Admittedly a Bears hall-of-famer, Dan Hampton didn't do these guys any favors, and because of it, we have just another reason to hate.

11.  Minnesota's state sport is ice hockey. I don't even have a joke for that. The joke is in the context.

12.   They are undefeated. Go get ‘em, boys. WHO DAT! DREW DAT! TWO DAT! REPEAT DAT!

“9. Skol is bad for you. You could get mouth cancer.”

I think that’s my favorite.

My brother (not a sports fan at all) hates Brett because he can’t even pronounce his own last name.

It’s Fav – re…. like Fav – ray…. Not Farrrve

Low blow on Jared Allen

He cleaned his act up, and has stayed away from drinking since then. Way to link a story from 2007 buddy, while he was still with the Chiefs.

by lioninacoma on Sep 9, 2010 2:41 PM CDT reply actions  

Still getting into altercations in bars though

Link

And if you want to say he wasn’t drunk for this one, keep in mind that the last time anyone was sober and used the word “homeboy” was 1998.

And you would never get upset if someone insulted your wife/fiancee?

Yelling at a douche for insulting your girl is something I would expect ANY man to do, and to use that as an attempt to bash his character is REALLY reaching.

by Bjorno on Sep 9, 2010 4:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't know about you

But I don’t go throwing around the C word unless the girl is reaaaaallly being a C word. Maybe his girl deserved it.

Your logic is flawed.

I like the bit which says he`s "quite" loyal to his GF

Does that mean he only cheats on her some of the time?

Aints no more

And you were right.

(Thanks for the straight, Abbot.)

Fat, dumb, and happy. Hell, two out of three ain't bad!

I thought the best reason to hate the Vikes was because they are a better team

I know it’s a good reason, you might want to think about putting it up there.

I’ll add one more too, Tavaris Jackon and the fans who love him. Nuff said.

It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...

I rec'd this one...

Because you are just so damn clever.

Eat this corn dog.

IF they were a better team, it would be reason for respect.

Now that the first game is over, you may want to look up the definition of "recant."

You’re welcome.
