>>>>I understand that in some college football (at least in the Ivies, don't know where else), an OT consists of each team getting the ball on the 20 and having one possession to score. If someone is ahead after that, the game ends. If not, they do it again. Sounds a lot more fair.

>>>The Vikes should have won the game, but kept making mistakes. The Vikes offensive line was an offense. They were letting Favre get clobbered over and over. In the end though, Favre made one of the most boneheaded plays in the annals of football. In spite of all their mistakes, the Vikes had the game won.

>>>Stupid!!!!

>>They did kind of self destruct with turnovers in the second half. The game was turnover free until a minute to go in the first half, then I think the Vikings turned it over six times after that (plus recovered two of their own fumbles).

>>Which "boneheaded" play do you mean?

>>As far as the pass blocking, I think the Saints' defense deserves at least part of the credit.

>The first thing any aspiring young QB learns is not to throw across his body into the middle of the field. Especially when you have a nice clear field in front of you to run in. And even more especially when you need only a few yards to turn a probable 3 points into a gimme to win the game.

I'm sure Brett would appreciate your tips on quarterbacking ;-)
