Vikings are the anti-Packers
The Packers have more wins and fewer birthday candles than any other team in the NFC North.
Counting their active roster and injured reserve, Green Bay has the most players 25 or younger (31), the most players 26 to 29 (26) and by far the fewest players 30 or older (six).
It’s the envious king-of-the-mountain view for a defending Super Bowl champion that possesses both greatness and an unusually high level of corresponding youth. It’s also the double Cheesehead whammy off the top turnbuckle that could keep the Vikings’ shoulders pinned to the mat as the team tries to rebuild beyond this disastrous season.

2. Claiming that you want the team to move to LA:

3. The Vikings are just 2 or 3 players away from being as successful as the Packers:
Check
4. Talk about trading AP for high draft picks:
NO?? Wow
5. Saying that the Packers are only successful because there is nothing to do in WI. Bonus points if the number of Minneapolis theatre seats are mentioned:
Well, there are only 25 comments so far. Give it time.
