Vikings vs. Cardinals

The last home Vikings game was against the Arizona Cardinals.  The date was Sunday, November 7th and the weather was pretty decent with the sun shining warm for November.  Because of Daylight Savings Time, we gained an extra hour and despite that we slept in and didn't arrive to the parking lot until 9 am and was surprised with a $50 parking lot fee instead of the usual $40.  Really?!  You are going to charge us $50 to park there to see the Vikings and the Cardinals?  Yep, and we paid it.  Well, I paid it.  That's the deal.  M buys the season tickets, I pay for parking.  It was just M and I when we got there but M had 3 groups of people that were maybes.  One of the maybes did show up....M's friend Wayne and his son Tyler.  We tailgated with them until it was time to go in but not before both M and Tyler got their "Fire Childress" shirt.  Let's actually go back to the Dallas game back on October 17th.  It was Randy Moss's first home game with the Vikings and there were guys in the parking lot selling shirts that had Randy Moss on it and it said on the bottom, "I'm back bitches."  In between that Dallas game and this Arizona game, Randy was cut from the team.  So what does a t-shirt peddler do with all those Randy Moss shirts?  He prints "Fire Childress" over that same shirt and sells them again.

The Vikings were down 14 points with about 4 minutes 30 seconds left to play.  The Vikings tied it up with two touchdowns bringing the game into overtime.  The Vikings ended up winning with a 35 yard field goal to win the game 27-24.  Brett Favre also threw for a career-high 446 yards.  Bernard Berrian also got fined for wearing yellow cleats during the game.  The players can wear only purple or black shoes and Berrian knew this going into the game, however he had 9 catches for 89 yards so maybe he should wear them again.
