These 4 games are from the author's memory, which means that any games from the 60's thru early 80's are out (my college years in the 90's are a bit of a haze, but I'm playing some Pink Floyd right now in the hopes of inducing a flashback). I'm going to start with my least favorite memories on Tuesday and Wednesday. Being the eternal source of positivity that I am, I will save the best games for last.
Horrible, terrible, awful game #1 (Dishman runs away with the spoon - but forgets the football):
2 things made this moment especially heinous:
- It was on Monday Night Football back when broadcasters were all in their "Brett, when this game is over, I think you and me should get an apartment together" prime. The media love for Favre - how annoying did that used to be? Strange how it isn't quite so much anymore.
- That game cost the Vikes homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. They may not have won the Super Bowl that year, but I guarantee this doesn't happen.
Deep (Purple) thought for the day:
The Vikings need to find a way to get Percy Harvin the ball more. How fast did he look on that kickoff return? They did try a reverse to him on Sunday that lost about 50 yards. But from the semi-nosebleeds, it looked like the guy that got him was the only defender who had a chance. I think that play goes to the house at some point this year. If the Packers blitz, I'd love to see them try a quick slant to Percy. Favre hits him in stride for a quick 6!
