I’ve been thinking about clever signs to make for tonight’s Vikings-Packers game. Stuff that will surely stick with and bother the Wisconsin fans. Try these out:
Our cheese is better than yours.
Your cheese stinks.
Our stadium has backs on the seats, yours doesn’t.
You guys got Favred.
To be fair, I need to report on those T-shirts Wisconsinites are wearing like “We’ll never forget you, Brent.”
Speaking of Brett Favre, a column reader and friend emailed to complain a bit about the new Vikings quarterback who is receiving a heavy dose of reverence. He referred to those that think Favre sits at the right hand of God.
Right hand? Left Hand? What’s the diff? The guy is there.
Just to clear up any confusion, I didn’t run in yesterday’s Twin Cities Marathon.
Not sure what the news media reports were on the number of marathon spectators yesterday, but in another year awhile back at least one news organization reported a half million or so people watching. Now let’s see. The population of the metro area back then was maybe 2.5 million. So one of every five residents was watching? Hmmm.
