It's the Ravens Band's Fault...

From wire reports: "The VikingsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ Director of Marketing Mike Harmon filed a formal complaint with a NFL official against the Baltimore Ravens' band in the first half. Under league rules, music is not supposed to be played while the play clock runs. But According to Harmon the band played when the Vikings' offense had the ball, until only a few seconds remained on the play clock.

I'd like to file a formal complaint against the Vikings...that they actually SHOW UP TO PLAY F-ING FOOTBALL!!!

I was sitting right behind the band, They did play during play and they had 4 mic's in front of the band to amplify the sound. I spent some time heckling the band leader- who looked alot like "Rick James Biatch" I got very tired of the bit they would play every time the crows had a 1st down.
As far as blaming them.... I dont think so, dropped passes, blown coverage, and a weak red zone plan had much more to do with it........

Bugmenot looks like youve been here awhile go introduce yourself in the free beer section......

Your Welcome Cajun!! Thanks for the great company!! My wife and I had a blast hanging out with you and yours! I will get pictures up soon. How long did it take you to get out of the stadium traffic? We had a few cops that would close roads off right in front of us and we ended up going in circles for about 45 min. glad to say we did not experience anything like a few other vikings fans- a few hecklers but nothing else.

We just sat and waited it out for awhile...my dad had called so I just called him back while I waited. Once we decided to leave, we just followed one of the buses and went an alternate route that took us out in no time with barely any traffic. The drive down I-95 was a breeze after that...no problems. We put the Vikings bandanna on the dog when we got home and she has had it on ever since...I will take a picture and figure out how to post it here!
