Funny why? I don't have an ego issue where I would like or dislike someone simply because of the team they USED to play on or whatever, whether it was a rival one or not. I like a player for their talent/personality/etc, not because of some stupid business and/or team perspective/reason. I am not putting down my team, it's factual information that everyone knows, so since when is admitting the Vikes lack of superbowl ability putting them down? Anyway, it's not even putting the team down, it's putting their franchise down, and I could care less about my teams franchise, I root for the current team ALWAYS, so whatever they have done in the past is not important to me in terms of how much I love my team, if that were the case I would root for the Cowboys or Steelers.
In regards to you Championship comment, who really cares? There was minimal competition back then, and for crying out loud those championships have only built fanbase and franchise type statistics, but do nothing in terms of helping post-year teams, which is what ALL fans should be concerned about right? Hell, since all those Championships in the 60's, they did nothing for the team for damn near 30 years, and since 96 have done nothing for 14 years and counting. Like I mentioned earlier, the Vikes have made the playoffs 26 times since 1968, the Packers have done so 14 times or something like that, but my point is that none of that **** matters. I want to see things developing now, because looking forward to the future and concentrating on the present is what's most important to me personally. I feel the Vikes will go ahead and draft a QB after this season and will start fresh, that is something I look forward too. I feel AP will get injured in the near future if he continues to run aggressive, and that is something I don't look forward too...and Childress needs to die....
