It's a tough call, really. To me, the Vikings-Ron Jeremy comparison still seems a bit more apt. They're both fairly harmless and rather embarrassing as opposed to being criminals and both are technically successful in their fields (the Vikings are top 10 by win percentage) yet have never actually accomplished a damned thing worth mentioning. Whereas the Bengals are just kind of well, the Bengals.
--- Quote from: scarred on 21 Sep 2009, 20:47 --- From what I know, whereas Bears fans respect the Packers, Vikings fans just outright hate them. And I think that sparks a lot of mutual bad feelings between both those teams, and could lead to more ill-feeling about their ex-star QB going over to them.

Oh, definitely. Vikings fans love to antagonize the Packers. Plus, remember that I compared the Packers to someone who found out their mom is sleeping with Ron Jeremy, not to say, a betrayed spouse. Most Packer fans I know still love Brett Favre and aren't about to disown him. They just realize that they will never, ever hear the end of this if the Vikings continue to do well under Favre and there's no real comeback because Vikings fans are completely shameless. Also consider that I mostly know Packer fans who have the misfortune of living in Minnesota right now. There is no escape.
JD:
on a side note I think it would be great if there was a team called the aristocrats.

I think the Vikings are the only team that could pull off having Daunte Culpepper (pre-injury), Cris Carter, and Randy Moss all starting and not win any championship game.

So, I grew up near DC. That's right, I had the Orioles, the Bullets (now the Wizards), the Capitals, United and the Redskins. Now I have the Nationals. I thought it would be tough to improve on the Orioles, but I was wrong. But the Redskins... Jason Campbell is not playing well, despite the fact that we now have an offensive line (not a great one, but we actually have people playing the positions they are supposed to play). Jim Zorn is not calling plays well, despite the fact that he insists nothing is wrong with the play calling. Also, what the fuck happened to my goddamned awesome secondary? I have a good team, I just need a quarterback and a head coach.
Alex C:
I like how we lost to the Falcons due to Gary Anderson's only miss of the year. That was when we had Cunningham instead of Daunte, granted, but people forget how good he was.

In a related story, when I did my fantasy draft I skipped wasting a pick on a defense. Instead, I've been scooping up whoever plays against the Rams off the waiver wire. Not a great sign for the good people of St. Louis.
