Even-though the Dolphins were defending World Champs, and were playing in their third straight Super Bowl, I honestly felt like we were gonna dominate them. How wrong I was.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. How else can you explain this fluke Super Bowl that was won when Pittsburgh recovered a "mistake" second-half kick off? I guess it's totally my opinion, but I still think there is no way that the Vikings would lose this Super Bowl if it was played again today, yesterday or tomorrow.

Disaster struck and the opportunity was squandered when Brent McClanahan fumbled the ball away to the Raiders. The turnover was the worse thing that could have ever happened to the Vikings. In this sports daddy opinion it was the purple's worst nightmare.

In November 2007 after the Vikings were blasted 34-0 at Lambeau, I jotted down some angry, vicious thoughts about the state of the purple during a boring meeting at work

Chuck Foreman had the slickest spin move of all-time, but this run was an "all guts" burst to glory, setting up the winning touchdown scored by Sammie Johnson a few plays later. The Vikings were heading to Pasadena for their 4th Super Bowl.

Nolan Ryan built a career on intimidation and outright fire-ball pitching. On August 4, 1993 Roin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox found this out first-hand.

Minnesota Sports history would have been boring without Kent Hrbek.

I believe this country became successful because of it's competitive nature, and games that end in ties are like saying everyone is a winner. By definition, this just cannot be true. In life, at work, and in school, people win everyday, and people lose

Happy 4th of July Twins Territory and major league sports fans everywhere at every venue. The Sports Daddy thinks it's time for everybody to take back the country from all the politically- correct - new - rules - crap that seeps in through the pop media.

On June 28, 1997 I was in a Sports bar in Boston, Massachusetts, cheering for Evander Holyfield to beat Mike Tyson. I think I was the only one in the place doing so, as everyone there seemed to be hoping for Tyson to return to greatness.
