23. I am so upset.

I don't get why they chose now to choke, but that is the price of being a Vikings fan. Almost close enough to touch, but always falling short. It is the history of that franchise. They almost never really stink, but they can't really build any sort of momentum either.

But losing builds character among the fan base. I believe that fans of losing teams, especially if they lose a lot, are better fans than fans of winning teams. Which is why I find Patriots fans (and Yankees fans) to be utterly insufferable, as if they think it's their birthright to win. And my god, I can only imagine Trump's tweets when they win this one, as they surely will.
