Purple Pride

Last night was book club night for the girls and because it was being held next door, we swapped The Girl for a husband and a dog as all the guys got to hang out and watch the preseason Dallas/Minnesota game.

It was pretty uneventful, with the dogs providing more entertainment than the NFL, but there was one highlight.

Dallas tied the score late in the game and instead of going for two, the Cowboys kick the extra point (presumably to prove to their fans that their kicker was, in fact, able to put the ball through the uprights) and send the game into overtime.

Overtime in the final preseason game is a really bad idea and it drives the players crazy, but who are we to question Bill Parcels?

As the captains are meeting for the overtime, the ref asks Brad Johnson to "make the call." Johnson did him one better and made the call of the game when he ripped the Cowboys and said, "You should have gone for two..."

I love veteran players just for this reason.

Uh, Brad, it's not that kind of call, but I like how you're thinking. Not enough to give a crap about the Vikes, but fun nonetheless. (I will add a YouTube video here if and when it's uploaded).
