The reality of it all is this, Minnesota doesn't deserve the Vikings.
If they move then it is because no effort was made in keeping them.
None, except a hearty attempt by Wilf who all ready has spent
millions in just the mere attempt. Not being from Minnesota in
anyway, you will find no sympathy from me. I am a Vikings' fan, and
will remain one no matter where a new stadium is built. Hopefully
this will be a wake up call for the Governor & the Minnesota
Legislature who have totally been disrespectful to sports fans, the
Vikings and especially to Zygi. I hope that the Vikings stay in
Minnesota, but they definitely don't deserve it.

Buff, I hope to finally meet you at Stars & Stripes next weekend.
Come out and lets talk some football. You bring your half empty
glass and I will bring my practically full tankard.
