I think Childress was relying too heavily on the Lucky Charm.   Alas, Frank is but a man who can only hoist a NFL franchise on his shoulders for so many weeks as he jets around the country trying to single-handedly salvage the Vikings 07 season.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the Lucky Charm for a month or more of work weeks beginning with joy; less aggravation from the inbred cheddarheads in our offices, and the hope that the team really is better and playoff worthy.   We began to receive national attention and the respect we felt portions of our team deserved.

I know now it wasn't Childress and his little scheme.   I think the front office needs to create a permanent Gameday Position for Frank on the sidelines, and perhaps he can be the birdie in the coaches ear that says: "Adjust.  Adjust.  Drop your damned  script.  You are getting killed."   Everyone with two eyes open and not full of egg nog knew that this little secret called the pass would be a really neat idea when they have 8-9 men in the box.  The Minnesota Moving Company can only move so many so far.   Its just Physics.

Thanks to our friend, Frank, for the good run, and thanks to General Mills for a contest that really was fun this year.   Well, considering we know the Lucky Charm pretty well, it was better for us.   I even had to not post about it out of superstition that I did not jinx the Lucky Charm.   With any luck, Frank and Colleen will share a photo album of pics of the Great Lucky Charm of 07.

So today against the Broncos, the Vikings are without their 12th man.  Fair travels, Childress, and how about one last victory?   Frank would want it that way.   

SKOL!
