Welcome to the 2017 season of Velspár! And welcome to those of you that are playing Velspár for the first time! Glad to have you join!!
Velspár, in old norse, means prophesying well or rightly. And that’s just what we all are trying to do, each week during the Minnesota Vikings season. Each week a set of questions will be posted at http://scottsabarber.wixsite.com/velspar (Hopefully by Wednesday) The results will also be posted there. Correctly predicting the questions will result in points awarded (based on the degree of difficulty) The person with the most points is that weeks winner. There are no weekly prizes (yet) but the points earned each week will be added up weekly and there will be a prize for the person with the most points at the end of the season. A beautiful hand crafted Velspar Champion Mug. So put on your thinking horns and join in on Velspár!!
WEEK 1, THE SWITCH
I don’t know about you, but I’m not as optimistic about the 2017 season. The Vikings run of 3-8 after starting out 5-0, probably has a lot to do with it. Maybe it’s the end of the run of Training Camp in Mankato, end of the run of some tailgaiting. The face of the franchise for the past 10 years, adrian Peterson switched teams. I’m usually the most optimistic person in the room, but after those things and watching the pre-season performance and the fact that No team has won a Superbowl in their own stadium really doesn’t get my hopes up. I will stir up some optimism though and say maybe this 2017 version of the Adrian Petersonless Vikings can flip the switch and light it up on both sides of the ball. I guess we will all find out on Monday night.
It’s time to cook all those old ways and we are gonna roll with what we got.
