As I mentioned yesterday, the quarterback lottery continues in Viking country as Christian Ponder moves back into the starting line-up after Josh Freeman is ruled out for Sunday night’s Green Bay game with a concussion. Jeff Garcia reported that he’d be willing to join the Vikings as a quarterback mentor for Freeman and the St. Louis Rams actually called Brett Favre to ask if he’d be willing to un-retire again to play quarterback for them.
Some people, when they talk about the 2013 Vikings season, suggest the appropriate music to play is “Yakkity Sax” (the Benny Hill Show theme music). I think carnival music is rather more appropriate, and so does the Daily Norseman‘s Eric Thompson:
Step right up, boys and girls! Come one, come all to the wacky and wonderful Minnesota Vikings Carnival! We have tons of great games to try!
How about you try your hand at the Robinson & Cook Toss? Just throw a football anywhere on this field. Then watch as Josh Robinson and Chris Cook miss their coverage and the ball goes right to your receiver! A guaranteed win every time you play!
If you prefer your games with a little more chance involved, then why not try our incredible Quarterback Wheel of Destiny! Each week, you can give the wheel a spin and hope it lands on your favorite quarterback. Round and round it goes…who will start? Nobody knows! But no matter where the Wheel of Destiny lands, you’re guaranteed a prize!
(Disclaimer: The only prize packages currently available from the Quarterback Wheel of Destiny are as follows: 1) Heartbreaking Last-Second Loss; 2) Embarrassing Home Blowout Loss; and 3) Embarrassing National Television Loss. The “Trip to London for a Fluke Win” prize package has expired; the “High 2014 Draft Pick” prize package is not available until May 2014.)
In the mood for a few scares as Halloween approaches? Then head over to Eric Sugarman’s Training Table of Terror! You’ll see deformed body parts everywhere! Can you stomach the sight Harrison Smith’s toes made of turf or Desmond Bishop’s detachable knees? Can you hear the twangs of the Haunted Harp created solely from the tight hamstrings of Adrian Peterson and Blair Walsh? Do you have the intestinal fortitude to fight past Christian Ponder’s Creepy Cracked Ribs? Can you make it through the fog of Josh Freeman’s Concussion Chamber?
(Disclaimer: The last two exhibits mentioned in the Training Table of Terror may or may not be related to the outcomes of the Quarterback Wheel of Destiny.
