    Would Vikings fans rather have 16 games of pretend and then miss a chippie kick?is

    This is less cruel.

    Nah, it's part of the culture, the Vikings season ending badly. It's expected, the highs and the eventual low.

    This starts it off badly, depriving Viking fans of that feeling of almost getting to the promised land, only to go down in flames.

    Dashing hopes this soon is more cruel.

    Asked if there was any hope of Bridgewater playing this season, Zimmer says "I don't know. It doesn't look good right now."

    Bridgewater was "sedated" during his treatment. Must have been in extreme pain.

    Are you sure Favre isn't an option? He looks pretty damned good in those Copper Fit commercials.



    Favre at 1:01: "Oh, man, I've still got it."

    Just sayin'.

    Are people still amused by the Crying Jordan meme?

    There's a fake ESPN Twitter account spreading the compound fracture story:

    To be clear, it sounds like the injury is more than 'just' an ACL, but it's not confirmed yet.

    Stuff takes awhile to get to Minnesota.

    It isn't going to be a good scene when they hear about Prince.
