On his Facebook wall, he wrote
"I'm donating my Vikings wear to charity. Who else is with me??"
Which troubled some of us
"Why would you shame those who are in need?"
"You surely can't hate poor people that much. They have some pride left."
If it is any comfort, Greg, I grew up as an L.A. Rams fan. Same deal. Plenty of talent, no rings 'til they moved away and got that one in St. Louis much, much later. How many seasons I watched Fran Tarkenton running around and beating them, only to go on and lose the big game.
There's a kinship in this somewhere.

At least the Vikings go to the big game on occasion. I grew up in the South where the only team was the Falcons (at least in the pre-Titan days) who were perennially horrendous.
Being a Vikings fan builds character and is an exercise in faith-building. At least so I tell myself...
