NFL Off Season

Which team will be moving to L.A.? I know it wont be this offseason. I think it will be the Vikings.

Yeah, the Los Angeles Vikings. Since the wimps play in a dome, they are well suited to play in a cushy, warm climate.

Good riddance! Maybe a REAL football team will move to Minnesota and play some football outdoors.

Packers Suck!

Well the Twins and Gophers will be getting new stadiums so hopefully the Vikes will get approved as well. They have a lease through 2010 at the metrodome so they have a couple of years to get a new stadium deal done, if they don't I could see them moving to L.A.

I dunno, but I hope it's not the Saints or the Bills since they're both small market teams with long histories in their respective towns... honestly, and apologies to any northeastern Floridians, I hope it's the Jaguars if it has to be anybody... since Florida already has a couple of teams, there's other nearby teams in Atlanta and Carolina, and L.A. is such a huge market, I think it makes sense for them.

Though, as far as I can tell, I think the Saints would be the front runner for the next L.A. team (since the owner's already said that it's a distinct possibility). I guess, it's all business, but it would be nice to keep football in New Orleans to keep the city visible.
 
A letter from a Green Bay Mom

Dear Ray,

I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't bad here. It only snowed twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.

About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Bill said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

Jimmy locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.

Uncle Bob fell into a vat of Old Milwaukee last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Bob was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down!

There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.

Your Favorite Aunt,

Mom

Go Packers!

Actually the rumor is that Tampa Bay and the Packers are going to merge to be the TamPacks. Makes sense since they are good for one period and lack a second string.

I take it that letter was to a Bear's fan (who's parents had moved and found a better team to follow). :D
