Let's look at this for what it is. Before the Lombardi Trophy is hoisted by the annointed one, let's remember there's some football left to play. Forget the fact that the Vikings sport the third easiest schedule in the league, forget they almost lost at home to the 49ers on their home turf until this miraculous pass went into the end zone, of which I've still seen no "closeup" of where that left foot was...period!

Minnesota has beaten teams with a combined record of 7-17. Not exactly what I'd call an offensive powerhouse. But today, a real angry, really physical Baltimore Ravens team will walk into the Dome, and quite frankly not give two shits about their record. Today, we'll get to see how really good the Vikings are. If they struggled and nearly lost to a rebuilding San Francisco team, then what will their response be when Ray Lewis and company walk onto that turf with one thing in mind- make it a long day for the gray one!

Today, we forget the Rams, 49er's, Browns, Packers and Lions, now they play a team that has wars on the field. Today, we won't just see how good the Vikings are at the end of a game, we'll see how good they really are on both sides of the ball, how Favre responds to being rushed, howm any stupid shuffle passes are still in his arsenal, all the things that have made him famous.

Sorry Brett, breakout the hanky, the Ravens are in town, they're pissed off and they won't leave until bodies are on the field!

Ravens in a walk!
