Leave it to the Vikings fans and Saints fans to not know the NFL has been playing international games now for the past few years! Talk about bandwagon NFL fans.

Yeah, don't remind me about that game we lost to the Vikings.

Water under the bridge now anyway. I have a stong belief that it WON'T come down to us kicking a field goal to beat the Vikings this time!

I realize that the Cardinals is an old school team name. Just seem wimpy compared to other N.F.L. bird team names like the eagles, falcons, ravens, seahawks. I'd like to see a new N.F.L. called the phoenixs, or oh...I don't know.

The Saints can be beaten. See my post #3298.

 

[BadMoon]

Actually it has been since 2005. ****** bags.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

They played there last year too, it has been widely rumored that the Bills will move to Toronto when Ralph Wilson either dies or sells the team. Some "home game" though.

Hey dumbass, they play international games overseas in the beginning of the year, not this late in the season, especially in Toronto. Like I said before, there was some talk earlier that the NFL would like to expand to Toronto. But I guess you wouldn't know that........Talk about bandwagon NFL fans.

By the way, at the last Eagles game you attended, did you try to beat up any fans in opposing jerseys? One of the few stadiums with a judge on duty.

You quoted me in the response ... "dumbass?" :emperor

Keith maybe, but me!

 

[BadMoon]

Sad to say but no comeback for that.

By the way, why are they playing this game in Toronto? What's behind this?

Here is your quote. I will let it speak for itself. Maybe you should think before you type. Or do a couple back flips and pull your head out of your ass. You are thinking about pre-season games. Not regular. It is you madam who are now in epic fail status.

Sorry, no, not you LOTR. I was using your post as backup for what I was thinking about: the NFL hinting at moving to Toronto.

<!-- END INCLUDE news/article-tools --> Vikings' Peterson given 109-mph speeding ticket, could lose license

Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson could lose his driver's license after police clocked him driving at 109 mph -- nearly twice the posted speed limit -- on a suburban highway last weekend.
Peterson said Thursday that he "got a little speeding ticket. I need to be more aware of the speed I was going and not let it happen again."

Minnesota Vikings

2009 Statistics
Carries: 230
Yards: 1,084
Touchdowns: 12

Peterson was pulled over just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday while driving his BMW in a 55-mph zone on state Highway 62 -- a normally busy stretch of road known as the Crosstown that connects Minneapolis with southern and western suburbs, Edina police spokeswoman Molly Anderson said. She said Peterson was given a citation and allowed to drive away after what appeared to be a "very routine" traffic stop.
Anderson said police clocked Peterson going 109 mph, but the running back told the AP he wasn't driving that fast.
"But I know it was a speeding ticket, and that's what I got issued for," Peterson said.
In the police video obtained by the AP, Peterson told the officer he believed he was going "probably about 85." When told he was clocked at 109 mph, Peterson said, "Seriously? ... I didn't think I was going that fast."
The stop happened the night before Peterson ran for 85 yards and one touchdown in a 36-10 victory over the Chicago Bears. The All-Pro also fumbled the ball twice, losing one of them.
Peterson said he was headed to the downtown hotel where the team stays the night before home games. He said he wasn't late at that point.

In the video, Peterson can be heard telling the officer that he was trying to make it to the hotel on time, adding "I know it's not a valid excuse."
The video shows Peterson's car being pulled over and the officer going up to the driver's side window. The driver isn't visible but can be heard. After the officer issued the citation, he thanked Peterson for stopping instead of trying to flee, then added, "Good luck to you tomorrow."
In 2005, Minnesota lawmakers approved tougher sanctions for drivers who are caught at excessive speeds, and one provision requires revocation of a license for at least six months for driving faster than 100 mph.
Peterson has 21 days from the date of the citation to challenge it in court.
Sen. Steve Murphy, a Democrat, sponsored the law to send a message about irresponsible driving.
"Mr. Peterson is going to be walking for a little while," Murphy said. "That's an automatic suspension for anything over 100 mph. Just because he can go 100 mph on the football field doesn't mean he needs to go 100 mph on our roads."
Added Murphy: "Maybe Adrian's miscue will save the life of someone else, and that's the good that can come out of this."
Minnesota State Patrol Capt. Matt Langer, who wasn't involved in the Peterson stop, said whether to cite a driver for speeding or for misdemeanor reckless driving is a judgment call. Langer said it comes down to how great a risk the speeder posed to themselves or others on the road.
"Any time you speed at all, it's dangerous," Langer said. "But to that extreme, it's just absolutely ridiculous."

Vikings coach Brad Childress downplayed any concern about Peterson's alleged high-speed driving.
"I don't know. I'd stay out of the police industry, if that in fact is true," said Childress, who added, "You got to take care of yourself. You can't put yourself in harm's way."
Childress acknowledged that Peterson was late to the hotel Saturday, but the coach declined to discuss the possibility of any punishment.
"He was there shortly thereafter, and as we do with everything that's in-house stuff," the coach said.
Peterson, a first-round draft pick out of Oklahoma, led the NFC with 1,341 rushing yards in his rookie season with Minnesota in 2007, then led the league last season with 1,760 yards. He's third in the NFL this season with 1,084 yards.
Peterson has become one of the sport's most popular players, with a high national profile that includes an endorsement with Nike. He has no known prior off-the-field troubles, and he's active in the community with charity work. Peterson annually hosts an event for Special Olympics -- one of his favorite causes -- at the Vikings' practice facility.
Minnesota (10-1) visits Arizona (7-4) this Sunday night in a matchup of division leaders.

That's right. Wade Wilson to Darren Nelson. It was 17-10 and the pass wasn't great but it seemed catchable.

It was!


GO VIKES!!

I've known all about international games being played for years! DO NOT group me with fickle "bandwagon" fans! I am NOT one! I have been a DIE HARD Saints fan since I was 5 years old in 1976! I've stuck with them through "thick and thin". The good (our team now) , and the bad (the "Aints" that spurned some fans to wear brown paper bags on their heads) . I have been with them the WHOLE time. I always will be.

NE 17
NO 38

Haven't had a chance to comment since the MNF game. What can I say? That was the definition of a Beat Down. I knew Brees and the boys could score points but I was surprised how well their defense played. To be fair, the Pats defense was quite pathetic. And the Pats running game was woefully inadequate. I don't see the Saints losing another game in the regular season. That means my Vikings would play at the Superdome in the playoffs. It would be a close game but I think we would be on the short end.

There is hope though. We can win if use a ball control offense with our running game and keep Brees off the field. Nice to have Adrian Peterson. I've seen the Saints offense falter if enough pressure is applied to Brees. We have an excellent defensive line with star Jared Allen and the Williams Wall.

Please note, over the past 5 years one of the top two seeds have been upset in the division round game. There may not even be a Vikes/Saints showdown in the NFC Championship game.

Anything can happen in the last 5 games and please remember this:

"Injuries are the great equalizer."

I agree that injuries can be an equalizer. That if a team has all of their players, healthy, and on the field then they can be a better team than one that does not. It really never ends up going like that because every team usually has a few players on the injured reserved. Sometimes important key players badly needed on the field.

So then, if my Saints lose one game, then they would lose home field advantage in the playoffs. I heard former coach Steve Mariucchi explain it on NFL Network that it would be that way since Minnesota has only lost one game to an AFC opponent, the Steelers. If we end up winning our next game against the Redskins, and the Atlanta Falcons either tie or lose their game...then we clinch the NFC South division with a record of 12-0.

The Patriots offense, and defense BOTH looked pathetic. I could tell that they were embarassed by their performance. I am NOT suprised by the great play of my Saints defense. They've been doing that all season! Drew Brees had a nearly perfect passing game. The only bad thing I saw was the one time he was sacked. That wasn't even his fault. Our offensive line caved in that one time. Otherwise he was laser-sharp, and tricked the Pats defense many times going to his second, and even third read receivers.

I know the Saints can beat the Redskins. The Redskins have struggled this year, and I know the Saints will give it their all and win the game.

Yeah, the Vikings better be prepared to face our "12th Man" at the Superdome! The "WHO DAT NATION" has been...and WILL be VERY LOUD!

We'll be ready for them!

 

[OSCORP]

Why do you assume these two teams are GOING to be playing each other in the championship like it's a fact? You've been saying this for a while now. Now you say you're a long time NFL fan, so i don't have to remind you that ANYTHING can happen and it's WAAAAAAAAY to early to be making predictions. (hey i hope it happens as well, but i know better to count my chickens before the eggs have hatched) Don't be like the kiddies who are calling out SB teams in oct/nov. I think you know better. Anyone remember the Lowly Cards going all the way to the SB last year? Anyone remember the indestructible pats going 18-1? NOBODY called those. (don't be THAT guy)

Parody in the NFL these days.


(GL to your Saints i hope they finish off the year well, but just a few more losses to ensure the Vikes get home field if they both keep it up)

 

[Bamboota]

T'was was the month before Xmas and no sign of snow. But N.O . doesn't care cause the Saints are 11&0

Dinkins scored a TD, Sharper intercepted a pass. And the Who Dat Nation cheered when Brady was flat on his ass . Sunday the Redskins, to

DC we'll go . And when the Black and Gold get finished we'll be 12&0 !!!!


GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

I doubt a few of them are bandwagon NFL fans...especially when you have a few of them come from their respected area. I live 20 minutes from Gilette Stadium and used to watch their training camps back when they were horrible (when they used to practice at Bryant College in Smithfield, RI).

I've had my fair share of people call me a bandwagon fan when the Patriots were winning Super Bowls. Some would get downright obnoxious during the whole Spygate debacle. It's funny how those same people that point fingers weren't around during the tough times with the franchise when their were rumors that the Pats were going to move to St. Louis. It's all jealousy...which leads me to ask if you are jealous over these Vikings and Saints fans?

 

[BadMoon]

I could care less.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

I could care less.

That's the best you can do? Let's see, you got your ass handed to you and you were just called out by JediMike and Nitro.

LOL! This ass clown is calling out 30 year passionate NFL fans for being bandwagon?

Some people never learn. Your f'n big mouth has probably gotten six different kinds of dog crap beaten outta you in the past and it's going to get you in trouble again...LOL

Je-Sus man, the more you post, the dumber I become. Son, please come back for another helping of ass-kickin'.
