Additional Minnesota Viking Commentary

Wish from 32  October 13, 2021
Head Coach Mike Zimmer is not here to secure a top five defense ... his son is ... although he has clearly demonstrated that he's capable of doing so, so stop trying to apply a subjective moniker to him in your effort to destroy him.  He is here to win this franchises first Super Bowl Championship ... PERIOD.  The last two week experiment has proven much. 

A question recently arose that went something like this.  If you could chose one team out of our 32 franchises in the NFL to immediately suit up with those Viking horns ... basing your decision on winning the Super Bowl for this year only ... who would you pick?  It was then that a list of the NFL's top eight was made to consider which included the Chiefs, Bills, Cardinals, Bucs, Packers, Chargers, Ravens & Cowboys.  It was then that something very interesting occurred.

Starting with the Packers, there is no way we'd ever duplicate the Favre disaster ... setting us back another decade ... by handing over this franchise to A. A. Ron.  As for the Pokes, are they a product of their division, or do you see a facade, especially when gaining entrance to the elite of the NFC?  We shall see.  As for the All-Star-Brady squad, having their players paid by other franchises, when do you exactly see the hand of God reaching-in to extract Brady's talent as the earth revolves around the sun ... stranding all those malcontents on the isle of despair.  The reckoning is coming due.  Now one could pick the up-and-coming Chargers but is there enough flair not to get eliminated in the AFC or NFC playoffs for that matter?  To be direct, the Chargers represent a very intriguing pick but it may not yet be their time.  As for the Ravens, regardless of an off the charts status, they still feature a running quarterback which will always be a very real liability in time as the season holds many very real obstacles.  As for the Cardinals, which we will see again ... to be direct ... we beat them on their turf ... so no not the Cardinals although they will be entertaining.  Which leaves both the Bills & Chiefs.            

Then I ask myself the question.  Where do we see the Chief's now at 2 & 3 with two home losses?  Have they solidified that offensive line or will its overall efficiency be a function of time?  One thing for certain was that Mahomes Achilles heal was exposed last year under his depleted line which again will have to face the elites.  Then of course we have Breeland which tells us something about the mindset of the Chiefs defense which heavily relies upon their quarterback to put up large points.  In other words, are these concepts sustainable?  Last but not least are the Bills which have the real deal in Allen which will be a handful every time he walks onto the field, leading me to the obvious major concern in that they clearly overuse Stephan Diggs which may prove disastrous over a full two year span.  As such, the Buffalo's are clearly my second choice to strap on those Viking horns ... but hold that thought.  By the way, Buffalo's have horns too, so expect to see them on February 13, 2022.     

Then it happened.  An internal pressure release of Cousins emotions came to the forefront with an immediate response from our Head Coach ... all in the struggle of life.  Finally Cousins found his true identity that has been missing ... that we've have all been awaiting.  It's raw nature was so explosive & cutting that there wasn't one observer that could deny the paradigm shift.  Sure, no one can really explain it because it goes well beyond leadership (which is just a word) ... into a new realm ... that discounts "The Me" into instead, "Being apart of destiny".  Maybe it was in response to Dantzler's railing by putting his career on the line to prove his point.  No one can beat this team ... that is ... on a level playing field.  For years I've imagined Cousins playing with unfettered emotions ... too rarely seen ... to collect all those tortured athletes into an overall purpose.  It was like Orcas swimming in a pod ... not by choice ... but by pure unfettered instinct.  Zimmer brought us this.         

Now, the vultures are circling, seeing Head Coach Mike Zimmer's hands shake ... possibly suffering from a type of battle fatigue.  This is not a weakness ... it is signal of years of shortcomings & now a clear series of what might be nothing less than fraudulent behaviors.  Ownership needs to stand firm with him understanding the real cost of wedging unquestioned behavior to pierce the Corporate Veil (AKA winning the Super Bowl).  Zimmer has sacrificed everything to see it through including fielding every possible curve ball, kick in the nads, that only these "OUTWARD" characters of the NFL can provide.  Having none of it as his dominant soul & glaring eye is now more important than ever.  Zimmer's approach is breaking forth & breaking into the traditional barriers that have prevented this franchise from attaining its goal.  No way should you find this in-process-paradigm on any scrap heap, as Coach Zimmer will tell us all when it's time. Screw the concept of your self serving tainted dynasties.

Sure, Coach Zimmer is doing everything to protect his sons development, which is his reflection of something that exists between sons & fathers.  Even if you never had that for yourself, instead of whining about it, you should be doing your utmost to secure it from any ridicule, as it shouldn't be seen as the exception to the rule ... it should be the mainstay of every mans life.  Every mans actions can be apart of these types of bonds & every mans fight can make it so for so many others.  A man has always been measured by his commitments & a man with no commitment is not a man.  Instead of allowing the world to attack & destroy this unquestioned bond, with some sort of utopian idea (that are always wrong - 100%), you should instead be serving first as it's champion.  It is the key aspect of being a man.  No one should ever have to apologize for unfettered devotion.  Words are just words.  Evil words are presented for the potential destruction that takes away from you & your opportunities.

Twisted nonsensical verbiage that enables a fumble when there is no video evidence of such, not corrected until this fraudulent behavior is applied to some franchise that actually counts ... like the Cowboys.  Questionable officiating that provides a license to steal at every turn.  Fraudulent missed field goals & point shaving extra points that should clearly put a block of kickers on the bread line.  Could this lead to non-guaranteed contracts that has multiple kickers on training camp rosters that will not know their destiny until after the 53 man roster is established or "No-Kicker-Opening-Day"?  Try to explain that lack of security to your better half when considering your decision to self enrich at the expense of all those that toil with blood & sweat.  Then there was having to deal with an elite-practice player, non-contact ring wearing sieve that only acted on his own personal behalf at the expense of too many to mention. 

No, it is all exposed now that now includes the latest unexplained critical fumble that has now put the heat of the spotlight upon him.  The lack of that forward progress once again puts the leagues actions into question however that does not absolve his actions as the clear purpose was to run the clock ... not fight for a few meaningless inches.  Large contracts never come from trying to supplement your pay using questionable behavior.  So much effort has been put forth in an effort to destroy this franchise, that was once obscured, that is now is as clear as day.  On this feast of "Saint Crispin Day" these men faced their destiny, never to understand the meaning of gold, but rather than to covet honor, to see old age ... as we shall be remembered throughout the age.  Shall think themselves accursd they were not here, "And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day".        

No.  This is my franchise.  Of the 32, the only one that I'd wish for to strap on those horns are the ones that are actually wearing them.  Sure, you've been told that Vikings actually didn't wear horns however that was never what they represented.  You see, I was just a young boy & compared to those playing with Barbie's I was the devil incarnate.  Lucifer was always depicted with those horns where I learned to embrace that moniker ... as it was my only true nature ... I could be nothing less.  When I saw those horns & what they represented on that grid iron, it became a natural draw for me.  No, I wasn't evil however there was a list of my childhood hero's, that served no color barrier whatsoever that taught me the axioms of life.  No, those horns are mine & what is before me is a marvel to behold.  Was Mike Zimmer mad or sane in telling us that this was the very best squad that he's ever coached.  For the ones thinking that he's out of his mind ... well we are clearly under their radar.  There are many more changes in store for this squad where this season is still within its infancy.  What evolves from here will be truly special but its not going to just happen.  You will all need to transform the potential ... .     

Does Irv Smith Jr. have a date with destiny as February 13, 2022 approaches.  He had espoused an unstoppable offense for the 2021 season that was left unrealized & un-launched for him.  Is there some sort of pending statement within his unstoppable eagerness?  Again, after 3 games, being apart of that initial 53 man roster, he's eligible to return.  Wasn't it Percy Harvin that scored a touchdown in a season-less Super Bowl?  What destiny awaits?
