No, but there may be other factors. . . . One other factor is, the Vikings haven't won a playoff game since 1988. And, examine if you will, the glory years of this franchise. The Vikings lost four Super Bowls. Ah, those were the good old days.
People here are sports realists.
When the Vikings win, people get excited, temporarily. Then when the Vikings lose, which they usually do around this time of year, people go back to not caring. And they go back to not caring in great numbers. I think you are painting an incredibly pessimistic picture. I think you are down just because the Twins are almost certain to leave Minnesota.
