Christmas Crash for sports fans

There is a great pride in being a Vikings fan.  Every few years we have a great season, and then there is this one.  A few years ago people scoffed at the Vikings for picking up Adrian Peterson with his history of injuries, but our coaches saw something more.  And season in and season out he performed.  Becoming the best running back in the league.  Then on Christmas Eve all the Viking's fans got what they wanted for Christmas, a win.  But a Grinch was lurking.  Cutting Adrian down at his knee and ending his season. 

Not being in the playoff contention, the hit is harder on our dreams for next season, and our prayers are with him for a speedy recovery.  But are our prayers for him or ourselves?  Our need for success?  Our want to scream at that top of our lungs while singing Skol Vikings?  

I write about athletes because that's what I know.  I understand that want to compete (don't say yes if I ask to play you in a game, it gets ugly fast)  The one thing I saw yesterday that made me remember why I love sports was the Redskin players showing their respect for an exceptional player.  So as I watch the tip off of the NBA that was delayed by players who's base pay for players that sit the bench is $70K over the base pay for NFL players I have to wonder, when was the last time one of them really thought about the man next to them on the bench or that they were guarding?

Peyton Manning, took a pay cut to make sure that the Colts had enough money to get/hold on to better players.  Is he the last of an era?  Hmmm.  I should be happy that my Vikes won, but what was the cost?  And Peyton is still trying to recover, will I get to see him back on the field next year?  The NBA has commercial running reminding me that "I can still dream" because their season is starting today, but as week 15 of the NFL comes to a close I see nightmares ahead.

Your ability to pull me into a story is addictive. I really enjoy the variety of subject matter. But of course, I love a great love story that climaxes with anticipation. Every sporting event contains the same emotion. Only Michel's mind can pull it all together insuch an entertains way.

    Happy author who hopes to find ways to keep her sanity, because they won't let her have her computer in the psych ward.
