Vikings

To sort of borrow a phrase, I hate the announcers from yesterday's Vikings game with the firey fire of a thousand fires. Seriously. I don't know who they were, but they were so bad I don't even know if Fox would hire them - and that is pretty much the worst thing I can say about them.

As a Steelers fan, I'm glad they won. It was a poor game, with mistakes across the board. As a devoted Tice hater, I'm thrilled the Vikes finally lost. However, I am _profoundly_ disturbed that the announcers suggested Tice could be up for coach of the year.

ESPN's announcers had been on Tice's jock also - suggesting he and Brad Johnson were someone amazing for winning 6 games in a row following the boat fiasco. Well, let's look at their schedule, shall we? In those 6 games, the Vikings really only had one unexpected victory - the 3 point win over the Giants.

Other than upsetting the Giants, the Vikings had possibly the easiest schedule in the NFL - beating the Lions twice, the Bears, the Packers, Rams, and the Browns. These are some of the poorest teams in the league! This is not an impressive 6 game winning streak.

Gah! Please get rid of Tice, I don't like rooting against my home team!
