My one football-related post of 2007
Have I told this one before?
In the mid-80s, my circle of friends had gradually included some sports-minded people. Teen peer pressure (and the lack of a technological avenue with which to lovingly bust on them for being insufferable 6 months out of the year) demanded that I start paying attention just to keep up. Simply hopping on the Vikings bandwagon would not do, however. I bought two packs of Topps football cards, and decided I would follow the fortunes of the team which netted the most cards. Luckily, this team was just about to start a brief flirtation with the fickle mistress called Respectability.

Ladies and gentlemen, Go Saints.
Now talk about something else, for crying out loud.
