Vikings Vaudeville, Vol. I

As a way to help cope with the annual Vikings collapse, I've decided to embrace the culture of losing that is a Minnesota sports fan's birthright (two World Series titles withstanding) and put things in a more humorous perspective.

I've just come to the conclusion it's easier to make fun of than be made fun of so I put my Helga-Horn thinking cap on and came up with the following:

• Startling news out of Winter Park ... Tupperware announced Antoine Winfield is losing his endorsement deal with Tupperware given the fact he can't cover a thing.

• What do the Vikings and a corporate jet have in common? No coach!

• What do Carl Gerbschmidt and Brad Childress have in common? Both are recovering Brett Favre jock sniffers!

• Adrian Peterson inked a new deal to start doing PSA's for Minnesota fire departments emphasizing the importance of "Stop, DROP & Roll"

• Apparently one of the Vikings' player's moms gave the pre-game pep talk before the Bears game and the last thing she told them before taking the field was "Don’t play on the road!"

• This just in, several Viking defenders were treated at a Chicago area hospital early Tuesday morning for severe cases of frostbite after the bus they were riding on to the airport broke down and they couldn't “stop” anyone to help.

• How are the Vikings like a meth dealer? Both like to lure you in with just a little taste of something good before all hell breaks loose.

Feel free to send me more suggestions as I envision this being a fluid list or perhaps having multiple volumes, 'cause God knows we as Viking fans could use an outlet like this.
