Despite the cartoonish displays of garish polyester and $16M/minute hyper-capitalism, I expect to be berating my television for the better part of the evening. Go Birds!

I had just turned 10 when the Vikings lost their first Super Bowl to the stupid Hank Stram coached KC Chiefs. Their subsequent losses throughout the 1970’s defined my childhood. I’m not sure what I would do, now that I have achieved the grandfatherly age of 65, if they actually won the Lombardi Trophy. To say that it would be disorienting would be the understatement of the season. The Twins winning in ‘87 and ‘91 were joyful experiences but I don’t know if I could handle a Vikings championship trophy ceremony not supervised by Bud Grant.
