Well I am still suprised that we lost that game to the Saints... when Favre threw that last Interception I could not believe it. All he had to do was keep running and then we send Longwell in for a game winning field goal try.

Now true it would have been a long one, but his longest is 57 yards.  Nope instead we have another bone headed play - so now since we last went to the Super Bowl in 1976 - our beloved Vikings are now 0 and 5 in NFC Championship games.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission have announced a recall on almost 1.5 million strollers made by Graco Children's Products.  The recalled strollers , made in China, are Graco's Alano, Spree and Passage. They were sold in many stores like Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Target, Kmart, Walmart and other retailers.

Apparently childrens fingers are getting cut in the hinges of the canopy when opening or closing it.

For more information on the recall go to www.cpsc.gov or call 1-800-345-4109

Man if you listen to these so called sports folks...none of them really think our defense can stop Drew Brees and the Saints. What's up with that we just shut down  Romo and the Cowboys
