On Any Given Sunday....Or perhaps a Tuesday

It's been said.....it's been written.

On any given Sunday.....any NFL team can win.

But on a Tuesday? The Minnesota Vikings were a 14 point underdog to the Philadelphia Eagles last night....and low and behold....with a 3rd string QB...

The Vikings beat the Michael Vick led Eagles, 24-14.

Two views...

From Philly:

Quarterback Michael Vick points to the sky after firing a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Clay Harbor in the first quarter. The score was tied at 7 at halftime.

Eagles lose to Vikings with "pathetic" effort

Pathetic. Terrible. Two days after clinching the NFC East with help from the Green Bay Packers, a disgusted Andy Reid used those words to describe a flat, sloppy, 24-14 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday night that cost the Eagles any shot at a first-round playoff bye and that left quarterback Michael Vick limping with a bruised thigh.

And from Minnesota:

Vikings 24, Philadelphia 14

Vikings pull a Tuesday stunner

After the teams waited two days for better weather, the game was full of Vikings wonders and Eagles blunders.

Go figure......This is why we don't bet on sports.

The Last Act....of a Selfish Man

Leave it to Brett Favre....to go out with a bang...on Monday Night Football.

How selfish it was for Favre......to start a game for the 5-8 Vikings....who had already been eliminated from the play-offs.

So when he got slammed on his head....on the frozen turf....in the first quarter......Favre got his "just deserts".

Now......can he just go....away?

From the Minneapolis Star:
