I'm sorry that I wasn't here yesterday. I celebrated a great MLK weekend. It went a little bit longer than I expected. I took two days off for the Patron St. Martin Luther King.

Now I'm back. It's Wednesday and we're ready to record one chatting podcast before we back before we talk about college groups.

I want to talk to you because Tate hosts a NFL podcast with Michael Embardi called GM Street and you are my NFL expert.

I famously have explained to you that I was a Vikings fan up until like 2000 basically as soon as Brett Farve through the interception in the 09 NFC championship.

I decided that was too much. I decided I don't like football enough to put myself through the torture of cheering for the Vikings.

Yes. So I just slowly I slowly weaned myself off of it.

And I have this was the first this was the very first year that I didn't watch a single Vikings game all season.

This was the first year of my life. I didn't watch a Vikings game. And then the very first game I watched was the playoff game. And I just want.

I just I just want to say it felt good. It felt good to see the boys doing well. I just felt I felt like I felt like it was like an old old friend that I was checking back up on and I flipped the game over and I saw the touchdown and I was like screaming and it just all the emotions came rolling back.

So I just wanted to get that off my chest. How guilty would you have felt if that didn't happen if digs didn't catch that pass, take it to the house and win the game and they lose.

And that's the only way you watched all season. I think I would have had to know I would have felt that would have happened. I know, but I wouldn't have felt that guilty because that's what the Vikings like even even as the even as digs was running the ball into the end zone to win the game.

I was thinking like shit. We left him too much time. Like I was looking at the clock. Like please tell me there's zero seconds left because I think they left him too much time. And by the way, I'm not trying to like pretend like I was I was believed like you know I obviously don't care that much anymore.

So I'm not trying to say like yeah, I believed in this team all along and I've been I'm obviously a fair weather fan at this point, but I don't know it was pretty cool. It was like it's I don't know you get older you move on from things and then you go check back in on them and to see to see the boys are coming around.

Like so my question you take is like do the Vikings actually have a shot at this? Are we going to are we I'm going to say we are we going to win the Super Bowl. Yeah, I think you're the team of destiny. Every time that happens. Are you just say that? No, I just say that the bullshit. I really have no idea who's good.

I mean, I assume the Patriots are really good. So yeah, it's basically the Patriots had to be the Jaguar is obviously and that's going to be easy. So you're going to put the Patriots but I think I think most people thought whoever the NFC is better than the AFC this year.
