Oh, Good

This is Batgirl's very first Viking-related post, but she was totally relieved to see this headline in the morning's Strib:

Tice Will Crack Down on Tardiness, Rule Breakers

Next time you guys have a big sex party and totally screw Batgirl's hopes for Legovision Park, BE ON TIME.

EDIT: Goober asks that BG remind everyone that the Twins are no stranger to sex parties. Kris Benson: What Might Have Been.

Did the Vikings pick up Kris Benson? I mean this makes the key party look like a Jr high dance!
As a friend pointed out maybe the players just wanted to get in touch with their Viking heritage. Afterall didn't the vikings of old use boats to capture women???

Well Kris Benson seems pretty tame to what supposedly happened with the Vikings -

I just read the Zygi is PO'd - he's apologized to the Gov(I'm sure this was to smooth things over regarding the possible stadium session) and all the higher ups- the NFL - Viking fans - Minnesota- he's put the hammer down or at least that's what is seems like

I think the Vikings move to the end of the line as far as stadiums go -

Indeed Wonder Woman, the Vikings are at the back of the line...for the next two months, after which they'll jump to the front of the line. Jerks.

If a new definition to the word "smoot" doesn't come out of this incident, then Team Batgirl just isn't pulling together like it should.

Too bad there wasn't a leather dominatrix boat. (Or was there?) Football players need discipline just as much as naughty Twins who don't execute their fundamentals properly. Sooz would contract her services to that kind of party, yeah? I would have enjoyed the Team Batgirl insider account of that affair.

I never have liked the Vikings, mainly because I am not a big fan of the NFL. I have had it up to ^ with the Vikings and what they are able to get away with (Moss hitting a traffic cop with his car comes to mind).

But now they have got the Twins mixed up in this and have done a nice job assuring there won’t be a new stadium. Someone call up CBS, we have a new Survivor – MN Sports teams. Think the Vikings (at least the naughty players) and members of the legislature that are holding up the stadium could be voted off first?

I just saw that picture of the hot tub, that is hilarious, I remember that What Might Have Been stuff….your too funny Bat-Girl!! Thanks for the laugh!

Not to be outdone, Onterrio Smith (Vikings suspended RB) allegedly sexually assaults a woman.

This is still one of my all-time favorite posts. I still chuckle at "Mama LeCroy didn't raise no pervo!" Aah, good times...

I wanna go...

I understand that Benson is an advance scout for the queenies. Had the Mets made the playoffs this boat ride, or rides, would have been delayed 5 days.

My first thought was "wait, Anna's not in the tub.."

My second thought, of course, was "yeah, she probably is."

The horror.

I just checked out the link to the O. Smith business. It's starting to be just a little excruciating to be a Vikings fan as well.
The Twins have a player get in trouble for leaving the mound before the manager gets there--the Vikings have a sex party....
The Twins have two players possibly throw a punch at one another--The Vikings have the original whizinator involoved in an alledged sexual assault....

When do catchers and pitchers report????

Posted by: kbrew at October 15, 2005 03:40 PM

Careful, kbrew-

The Twins have a player who used steroids...

Posted by: Eric at October 15, 2005 04:04 PM

Yes, that's true. However, it seems that there is enough question as to Juan's using it that his appeal is being heard rather than being summarily dismissed.
No one had to step over him using them in the hallway did they?
Sorry.... enough negativity. THat's not what this site is all about anyway.
ON a lighter side, a few paraphrases by George Carlin comparing football and baseball:
Football is played on a GRIDIRON...
Baseball is played on a beautiful diamond...
In football, the offensive line tries to rip holes in the defensive line...
In baseball, the player tries to run really fast and be safe!
Finally, sometimes football goes to SUDDEN DEATH!
in baseball, you can play all you want! But sometimes the players get tired and can't play...
See everyone next spring!!

kbrew - Pitchers and catchers report on a very important date.

February 19th.

Boo looks so happy in that pool, lol

We're going to be making Anna Benson jokes for years, aren't we.

Excellent!
