Here Comes the CHEESE! Vikings Packers Rivalry Disgusting Fun!

A classic rivalry; Here Comes the Cheese!

So the Vikes lost another heartbreaker on the road in November. Get OUT! I am shocked! I wish I could say that I saw good things in the game, things that we could hang our hats on and say "Well, they are young, they are learning. Just give the Vikings some time and they'll figure it out." The only problem with that is "WE DON'T HAVE TIME, we can't manage the time we have, and that will never change."

This team has all the talent in the world (yes even on defense- although you could hardly tell by watching last night) but it seems like they are letting their time in first place slip away. Let's hope they figure out a game plan for the suddenly "hip again" Packers before Sunday's game at LAMEBLOW field. If they can't, the poor Vikings fans will have to start putting up with all the Favre jerseys at our workplaces again, and all the 12 Time World Champion jibber jab that accompanies it.

That's right folks, just when you thought we'd have a season with out "Gritty Old #4 and his leaping Cheesehead buddies" here comes that Vikings November Swoon, and a chance for the Pack to tie for first again.

Didn't we just see this crap last year? Give me a break! Hey Vikes, it's time to NUT UP or SHUT UP. Get busy livin or get busy dyin' this week will be YOUR SEASON. Period!

Over the last 10 years, I have really learned to appreciate the Vikings vs. Packers rivalry. It all started when my friend "Wales" a cheesehead from the Michigan Upper Pennisula told me, "Man, it's all about geography! You and I are the same guy except I grew up in God's Country, and you grew up in South Dakota! It's great that you cheer for the team that was closest to you when you grew up. That's the NFL man, it's just geography!"

His words are so true. I did grow up watching two Vikings and Packers games every season. When I came to college in the Twin Cities I had many run-ins with cheeseheads who were as passionate about their team as I was about the Vikes.

Cheeseheads are everywhere. You see them wearing their colors at the Yankes/Red Sox ALCS game, you see them at Lions vs. Redskins games, you see them wearing that big G logo at NBA games. They are everywhere!

Cheeseheads are funny, they are without conscious, they are fevered like no other. They are arrogant, proud, drunk and sober. Cheeseheads live in your neighborhood, attend your same church and decorate their work cubes with Favre posters. They vote, they actually vote in that stupid Campbells chunky soup promotion.

They are the only fans I know of that say "WE won" or "We lost" because they actually own their team. They are also easily duped into buying $200 for a piece of paper that says they own stock in the team. It's great to see them so focused.

But there are many Cheeseheads who are actually okay people. I have learned to tolerate them over the years because it's just geography.
