Darren Boyle's weekly words of wisdom NFL season opener special
The NFL season is upon us, just a few short days before the VSK (Viking Season Killer a/k/a Brett Farve) era begins. And, although there hasnt been a single regular season play run, I have counted at least three excuses why the VSK era will not be successful according to Mr. VSK himself. First the torn rotator cuff, it was disclosed he had a partially torn rotator cuff which was ok enough to pass a physical from the Vikings medical staff but of course it could completely tear at any time. Excuse #2, it was reported by ESPN during the Monday Night game vs the Texans that Farve thought he had a couple of broken ribs. Have we heard at any point that he was checked out on his assumption by any of the Viking staff? Excuse #3, now VSK says that at his age he wouldnt be afraid to come to the coach and remove himself from a game at anytime if he felt he didnt "feel right". If you counted the reason he stayed in retirement back in June, his "bad ankles" There are four excuses why the VSK era will be a bust. And all of them coming from the mouth of VSK himself. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and hope all the things he has said are to just keep the expections of those who are loyal to the purple to a minimum. Whatever the outcome there will be alot more people than normal paying attention as the Vikes play Cleveland Sunday. Noon kickoff on KPLO and KMLO by the way. I wonder what would happen if I began to make up excuses for things that might happen in the future. Look boss, I may watch tv too late one night and I will be late for work. Sorry honey, I have a stiff shoulder and probally wont be able to mow the lawn next week. Lets have some fun with this and see what kind of "excuses" we can come up with. The NFL season begins tonight, Pittsburg plays Tennesee. I think the Steelers will find out, just how hard it is to repeat as champs in week one. Our game Friday night has the Lyman Raiders traveling to Kadoka to take on the Kougars 7:00 mountain time kickoff on KPLO. The Raiders have some unfinished business to take care of after losing in the semifinals last year. Should be a good game, we may play in the rain,See ya then

VSK's only motivation is clearly to break the NFL all-time consecutive games played streak, currently held my Jim Marshall. He will tied Marshall on Sunday, and then would break that record next week. (then he'll retire for good)
ReplyDeleteSteelers will find out how tough it is to repeat, which they'll finally admit in February, after they actually DO repeat. STEELER PRIDE!!!!!!

Quite a theory fellow sports blogger, if VSK actually retired before the packers played the vikings on monday night I think the metrodome would deflate.
ReplyDeletehey Brian, nice ground game the steelers had eh? Losing their best defensive player will hurt too
