Football jokes, which most of my flist will probably not care about
Up here in Minnesota, people go on and on and on about the Vikings. And on. Right now, they're extremely disgusted with the useless coach, Brad "I Never Call A Play That Autistic 5-Year-Olds Can't See Coming From A Mile Away, Yet I'm Stumped As To How Defensive Coordinators Magically Anticipate My Every Move" Childress, and the clearly-not-Brett-Favre-or-Daunte-Culpepper-or-even-Carson-Palmer-quality quarterback, Tavaris Jackson. There's also plenty of fury left over for owner Zygi Wilf, a man who makes Cincinnati's Mike Brown look like a strategic genius.
There was a poll running at (I believe) ESPN.com, where users were asked to indicate whether or not they approved of a coach's current performance. Only 6% of respondents had confidence in Childress (Marvin Lewis of the Bengals had a higher rating). Some of the people on local message boards were quite hilarious in their response to this bit of info. I think my favorite comment is the last one...

A 6% rating for the Chiller???? Someone must have been confused about this voting process.

And those 6% are Packer fans who are absolutely delighted in the continued 'competence' of Sir Brad.

6% seems awfully high...is there a 6% margin of error?

Even Brad’s family says, “he must go.” His wife later said, “He’s also predictable in bed.”
A positive vote came in from a T. Jackson, which said, “he a gud cooch. Me likes him.” (It should be noted that T. Jackson’s vote was skipped into the ballot box because the delivery was three yards short.)
A Z. Wilf asked, “is a 6% approval rating good?” Then, he pissed off a bunch of people in Anoka County.

Childress: “Sometimes a positive response isn’t what you’re looking for. Like in an STD test. This voting is just like that.”
