PA should be the all time Vikings TV announcer. Like if you agree.

[@JediMastr80]

1000% agree. It's modern technology and tv stations are allowed to have multiple audio feeds. For sports events, they need to let you select the radio announcer as the alternate version (already synced up). Since radio is usually ahead of TV by like 2 to 10 seconds, all they would have to do is fix the audio delay once and shouldn't have to mess with it for the rest of the game, even during commercials.

[@deanladue3151]

@@ckobo84 Peterson suffered a high ankle sprain in the game vs the Ravens, a result of a subtle but dirty trick the Ravens 'D' used where they would catch a player from behind and ride them down with their entire bodyweight on their legs, knees, and ankles.

[@Alex-gb8em]

Favre has the best arm of any qb i have ever seen. throws it 49 yds and it gets there in 2 seconds man he literally has a cannon for an arm. before someone tries to correct me, he threw it from the 39 yd line but it was at the very end of the endzone

Best pass from Farve in the 20yrs he was in the league. Hands down💪🏾

[@markahl9387]

Well Jeffrey, I believe he did. Yes he threw that interception but like almost all of his picks throughout his career, he was always put in the position where he had to go out and win the game. We have all forgotten the dropped passes, bad calls, stupid penalties and fumbles in this game. Don't lay this at Favre's feet. He played brilliantly and took a pounding doing it. This was a total team letdown. Meltdown more like it. That was our Super Bowl and we fucked it up. How does our "D" allow the Aint's to score on almost every possession. They looked scared and played very flat with no energy. I think they spent all they had on Dallas and had nothing left in the tank. Our defense and miscues lost that game. Not Brett Favre.

[@MrGarretto100]

I don't think a lot of people understand just how loud the crowd exploded. I was listening to the game on the radio and the crowd cheering was so loud that you couldn't hear the people calling the play. I didn't know what happened until a few seconds later when things calmed down a little.
