True to their nature, my Minnesota Vikings lost in the last minute.
This is two games in a row where they have started the game strong and created a lead that should be easy to defend, if not grow, and then give up the game.
This is part of being a Vikings fan. They have never won a Super Bowl. Their most famous signature move is the choke.
On the other hand, it is always fun to root for the perpetual underdog. I think a lot of people really liked the Patriots until they became the team that always wins. Once it was no longer a suprise when they won, people started to lose interest. And now that they win consistently, everyone just sees them as the guys that are expected to win, and start to root against them.
We have never had that problem with my Minnesota Vikings. Even when they are strong, like the 2009 season, or the first halves of these two games, they always find a way to throw it.
I do hope that they eventually put together a winning season or two, but for now, I am just going to enjoy my team!!
