I've time for a few quick thoughts before I head off to bed. Two thoughts actually, each of which kept popping into my head as I watched the Vikes roll over like puppy dogs Sunday night while hosting the Washington Redskins.

One was a movie quote from the Steve Martin flick, "Don't Men Don't Wear Plaid". The quote was:

"All dames are alike: they reach down your throat and they can grab your heart, pull it out and they throw it on the floor, step on it with their high heels, spit on it, shove it in the oven and cook the sh*t out of it. Then they slice it into little pieces, slam it on a hunk of toast, and serve it to you and then expect you to say, "Thanks, honey, it was delicious."

Change out "dames" for "Vikings teams" and you begin to understand my forty years of misery.

The second thought that kept popping into my noggin was that there are three current assistant coaches on the Redskins staff that could come in and do a much better job that our current head-coach, Brad Childress. I'm not ripping on Chilly based off this heartbreaking loss to the 'Skins. Heck, I've even warmed to him a bit. But I just couldn't help but think, "Wow, would you look at that staff that Gibbs has! Any of which I'd take over Childress any day."

Those three Redskins coaches are, Gregg Williams (Asst. HC - Defense), Al Saunders (Assoc. HC - Offense), and Joe Bugel (Asst. HC - Offense). In fact, Williams was someone that I wanted the team to hire as head-coach as recently as January, 2006.

At least I'm looking good to become the first three-time winner in the Beer Brotherhood Fantasy Football League. I came into the playoffs as the number seven seed and rode the likes of Warner, Jackson, Grant, Jennings, Boldin, and Witten to what appears to be a win in the championship. My opponent needs to have 36-points from a Mr. Tomlinson on MNF....so one never knows...but I like my chances. Here is a photo of our league's traveling trophy:

And yes, special VU analyst Graham Maas will return this week to talk about the Vikes game with the Denver Broncos and to talk about the AFC playoff picture.
