When the Lions don’t play, I can direct my attention to real football. By that I mean I like to watch games that would ordinarily piss the hell out of me because it’d just be a reminder at how shitty my team is doing.
But when the Lions are on a bye, it’s also a bye week for me. I put my jealousies and bitterness aside, sit back, kick my feet up, and watch some hard nosed football for the afternoon.
Nothing was more hardnosed than the following by the guy people in Minnesota call “Purple Jesus.” I’m not a fan of the sobriquet, but I’m also not normally a fan of watching the Vikings do anything remotely successful. I’d say this play was quite successful — the Purple Jesus hitting the truck stick at the right time.
What was more enjoyable than watching A-Pete absolutely wreck that poor #22’s day?
Watching Brett Favre turn the ball over twice as the Vikings attempted to make a comeback. It’s a beautiful day for football.
