COD.
I now join the ranks of the greatest seers of all time. Yes, while 62% of you considered me to be insane, I stuck with my prediction of the Minnesota Viking Football Club defeating Big Blue Sunday. I stayed with it all week. I let you know how the team would Shock the Shockey.
Still you did not believe. Shame on you. Don't doubt me again. I'll consider it a lesson learned.
You may now all bow before me!!!! For I am a Legend in My Own Mind. Just this once I will allow my loyal readers to leave comments of adoration at the end of this blog entry. But please, make no eye contact with this deity.
Tice Approval Poll
Tice ended up earning the respect of a 49% of you following the win over the Lions. How will New York's own, Mike Tice, end up this week? Vote to the left.
You May Love Me Now.....
Yes, you may very well love COD now. I call a huge win for you and I'm everyone's hero. And you will no doubt increase the legend of COD.
But I return to the magical, hallucinogenic burrito that assisted me in making the call against the Giants. And it tells me the Vikes will follow a huge win by having a major let-down at Green Bay and lose to the Packers on Monday night.
Of course, the magical, hallucinogenic burrito may have been a "use one time and then discard" type of magic spell.
I for one, sure hope that Tice and Company can keep focused and roll into Green Bay and sweep the season series. I just know that NFL history has often shown a team following a huge, emotional win with a head-scratching loss.
I hope the Vikes don't follow suit. Vote your opinion to the left.
Coming Tuesday
I take a look at Daunte Culpepper's coming week which could be a life changing event for him....and us.
Upcoming Podcast
Expect another Score Seven podcast with myself and Vikes Geek to be up by Tuesday. And if you have a question for us, just leave a comment or e-mail me (link top right). And we'll work your question into our Mail Bag section of the show. Only serious questions will be given consideration.
All hail COD...the Mystical seer and know it all...I mean that in a good way....But I am Afraid I must disagree with your prediction for the upcoming game....I too have a secret magical food...I have consulted with ...they are my beans...Ahh yes...Beans Beans the magical fruit....the more you eat...well you know the rest...But given the way the defense played today... I feel the chemistry that has started...much like the chemistry in my stomach after eating 2 portions of beans....will continue for quite a while...Sharper will pick off Farve next week...and the beans say the offense will actually score some points next week...I feel something else coming...a bigger prediction....oh oh...gotta go...that wasn't a prediction I was feeling...Later...Jay
Posted by: JayViking at November 13, 2005 8:25 PMO mighty COD. YOU were right....against all odds, the beloved Vikes beat the G-women, just like YOU said. I would be honored to light your cigar.
Posted by: NOT Les Steckel at November 14, 2005 7:11 AMMethinks this pattern of self-congratulation needs to be ameliorated somewhat... Didn't COD pick the Vikes publicly here, but then pick against them most egregiously by choosing the G-men with his top confidence ranking in his Pick'Em website??? Hedging our bets, were we???
Posted by: cuyahoga riverdawg at November 14, 2005 7:38 AMBLASPHAMER!!! On this holiest of days you dare to question the great and powerful Oz, er, COD?
That was the sole blight on yesterday, realizing that I mistakenly picked Big Blue in haste when I thought I had clicked the Vikes button. It was totally my ignorance for not double checking as I usually do. The fact that I assigned the top confidence weight gives me my alibi.
Now, away with you Ohio Demon.
Posted by: Brian Maas at November 14, 2005 7:50 AMAll hail COD. May I use some of Famous Dave's Devil Spit BBQ sauce on my crow? I'll even save some for you next week.
Posted by: Lonnie at November 14, 2005 7:55 AMLonnie: I will happily eat crow next week. In fact, I'm ready to change my MNF prediction. Since GB also had a huge, upset win Sunday, I think that negates the Vikes huge, upset win. So the slate is wiped clean and both teams have equal chances to lay an egg. I'll have to make a trip to Taco Bell for a burrito and get back to everyone later this week.
Posted by: Brian Maas at November 14, 2005 8:06 AMDoes it have to be a Taco Hell burrito or will one from Taco Juan's work equally as well? Can't beat the Potato Ole's. Don't forget to upsize.
Posted by: Bill Poganski at November 14, 2005 8:28 AMOK Bill, the secret is to ask for those Jalapeno's with hallucinogenic qualities. Much like the kind Homer Simpson had during the infamous chili cooking contest.

Posted by: nashbabe at November 14, 2005 8:50 AMWe won a road game! (or did the Giants lose?); whatever.... I thought the Vikings showed some toughness yesterday and it was a fun game to watch.
Damm It!!! Typical Vikes, giving me hope again.
Posted by: Thomas K at November 14, 2005 9:14 AMI always thought mind altering peppers were Habanero's. And use lots of them. But I usually just stick to those funny looking mushrooms on a pizza or some brownies washed down with a recent batch of homebrew when I'm looking for a good trip into my weekly football picks.
Posted by: Bill Poganski at November 14, 2005 10:26 AMBlind squirrel and a nut is what you remind me of.
Posted by: Cheesehead Craig at November 14, 2005 11:18 AMYes Cheesehead the Vikings are a blind squirrel and we found our nut. The Packers are a blind chicken and they found their piece of corn. Now next monday night it will be the race between the chicken and the squirrel. The problem is squirrels like corn too. 8>)
Posted by: Lonnie at November 14, 2005 12:03 PMWow! you were right. i really expected a poor game from the vikings. but special teams and defense came up big.
