It's Saints-Vikings week at CrabAppleLane. Most of my Minnesota cousins are Viking fans. One is a Packers fan, though. I suspect most of them are more concerned with the Twins today. The Saints haven't played them in a while but they have not fared well against the Vikings in years past. Won't have any bearing on this game. Don't think any of these Saints players have played against the Vikings in a Saints uniform or vice versa. I kinda want a shootout.
I hate Monday night Saints games. I prefer my Sunday noon routine.
About today's BOTD: It's a Minnesota Vikings blog. The selected quote sounds very negative to me but I read a sampling of comments on the Star Tribune and to say the Vike fans are down on their head coach is an understatement.

I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm
Garbage, Happy Home

Quote from said blog: "Well, in the last 24 hours or so, we've learned that we've got a spineless moron for a head coach. Actually, we covered spineless yesterday, and at today's press conference, we got the moron part covered, too."
The natives are restless here, that's for sure. The Vikes are making way too many mistakes and the poor clock management and play calls, especially this last Sunday, were jaw-dropping. Childress isn't going to make it to mid-season if that keeps up.
Well, the Saints defense is the cure for what ails most teams. Interested to see how the Saints offense matches up against the Viking defense.
