It's Playoff Time- Truly exclusive

The only thing that will upset me about the Vikings not selling out their playoff game is the fact that I can't tape it and watch it later when I get home from the game.

The real Vikings fans who bought tickets to back their team should be commended. The rest of you, I emphasise with. I know the economy sucks, and it's cold, and you don't really share the faith that the Vikings can pull out a home playoff win with the coaching and leadership you have witnessed. I get it. Times are tough, and it's more important to provide your family with a good Christmas gift- especially the little Vikings in the house.

If the game is blacked out, it will mean that those at home will have to suffer through a KFAN broadcast with Paul Allen. Personally, I can't listen to him for an entire game which is why I have to go to the dome and tailgate before watching it live inside.

By all accounts we will be joined by several thousand Philly fans, who will be making the roadtrip and dropping cash all over the Twin Cities. I believe it will be the Iggles fans who will be wasting their family's money on this road trip. That's right, I can put up with all their loud mouth soup antics for a few hours, just to watch them shut up as they walk out with their tail between their legs on Sunday.

This is playoffs people, and for those of us who are going to the game with purple on, it is the most wonderful, exclusive opportunity we will have to watch the Vikes do something great.

On the other hand, I truly do hope the game sells out today. Afterall, I would hate to see all the new HDTV's that Viking Couch potatoes got for Christmas go to waste.
