You're all welcome- we won because I left the bar
In what ultimately might be the worst decision I've ever made in my life in hindsight, my superstitious side tells me I'm partially responsible for this.
When the Saints converted on 4th down yesterday with less than a minute left in field goal range, I left ALL my friends (who aren't even Vikings fans but were there to hang with me) at the bar and walked home. I shut off my phone so my Saints friends wouldn't bother me. On the way, I picked up a nice bottle of scotch and was ready to settle in at home. I put on a movie (3:10 To Yuma), kicked back, and figured I'd just forget about another unforgettable season.
After an hour or so, I realized I was starving and wanted delivery so I needed to turn my phone on. I swear I never in a million years thought to check in on the world because I thought we might've pulled out the greatest Vikings miracle ever, but when I turned my phone on... 6 voicemails, 38 text messages. Just at a quick glance I realized some crazy shit must've just happened.
Sucks I missed that play LIVE but I don't think the universe would've allowed it to happen any other way. Yeah, I'm crazy like that.
All said and done, fair enough. My friends showed up with champagne and lottery tickets (why? I dunno either) shortly after and we celebrated all night.
Sorry for rambling, but just like all of you, I'm on cloud 9. As a man who has no interest in ever having children or settling down, a Vikings playoff win like that is literally the highlight of my entire life.
EDIT: I realize this is kind of a douchey, self-absorbed post but that wasn't my intention. I'm honestly just ecstatic right now.
@"KingBash" said:@"JimmyinSD" said:@"KingBash" said: You know what I didn't expect? I feel bad for my Saints friends. NOT Sean Payton. I'm glad he's unhappy. But knowing that feeling... wow, that sucks.I won't post links because I'm lazy but if you're interested, look up the sideline view on YouTube, somebody made a clip where they laid over the Titanic theme on the final play... there's lots of good stuff to eat up today.
SKOL!!!!!
same here, I know there are a class less fans from any team that I would never feel sorry for, but as a fan that has had his heart ripped out so many times, I have to have some sympathy for their decent loyal fans. but FUCK peyton or payton or however the fuck he spells his name.
I will say that I didn't meet a single pleasant Saints fan at the bar. Nice "enough" sure, but for the most part... not my style. And then when a few friends and I yelled at the screen when Sean Peyton was on, the small group of Saints fans turned and took things personally.That's one thing I'll give a few teams (us being the first) credit for. It's just a game. Saints fans always seem nasty. I live in CA too and Rams and Raiders fans are also garbage usually. But you'll never hear anybody complain about Vikings fans.
Rant over.
With all that said and done. I hope you plan on some vacation time in Feb. away from any TVs. LOL...j/k.
