yeah, bernie i agree. i was brought up on a farm in n.iowa. my grandpa was a redneck and very fowl mouthed. i picked it up. my dad and both my uncles were bad as well. the apple don’t fall far from the tree. my wife is always saying what you said, “that the language of a man indicates the educational level he’s at”. my wife always says that she knows i’m smarter than i sound……hahaha. thank you for the reminder. both my uncles have always fueded tobecause one is a packer fan in wicsonsin and one is a viking fan in minny. my dad, who is not a huge football fan said stay clear son, and look at those dallas cowboys with roger staubach. now there’s a hero. he liked staubach from his days at navy. i was born in ’62 and staubach’ hiesman was ’63. dad sais it’s meant to be. staubach is the way to go. so in 69-70 when roger came to dallas and i started liking football, dad advised me well. tom was a great man and coach. i’ve read his biography and am fasinated with his football knowledge. he more than anyone had a huge impact on vince lombardi when they were O-cord. and D-cord with the giants. lombardi said that landry was the most organized s.o.b. he ever met. landry said, “well being called an s.o.b. is a good compliment coming from vince.” landry had a good sence of humor even if he was protrayed as a stone face. bud grant always admired landry as well, and said “it’s difficult to remain calm and collect under emince pressure, that’s what grace under pressure means.” those 2 were good friends as well and mutually respectful of each. i miss those days. i love the rabid fans that the vikes have and this is what i believe is the key to keep the vikes in minny, but they gotta start yelling now, cause it’s almost too late????

Dallas Dave, I just wanted to point out that i really don’t see a reason to use bad language. Hey, i’ll be the first to admit i swear once in awhile out of anger, mostly. Believe me, living in Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh Steeler country, the Steeler fans here use the worst profanity on a daily basis, whether they win or lose, and a few words in some of your comments, really pale in comparison to the words out of the Steeler fans garbage mouths, i ‘m just tired of hearing it constantly. Anyways, i’m not professing to be some religious fanatic or some perfect yahoo, but i like chatting on this site with other fans, mainly because i counted about 97 Viking fans in my hometown, and we are scattered miles away. Dave, getting back to the Steeler fans, i would’nt let my three daughters one hundred yards within these foul-mouths, and to think they have kids of their own. I said before, that i respect other fans for other teams. I had a lot of respect for Tom Landry, the Cowboys former coach, the man was a great coach, as was Rodger Staubach-QB, Randy White-DT= The Manster great players, just to name a few. I was’nt happy the way the owner Jerry Jones tossed Landry out, like he was dirt, it was shameful on his part, and for that reason, i have less respect for that organization. It sounds like you’re uncle is a longtime Vikings fan, who is very concerned about the team moving to LA. The reason i can’t see it happening is that i witnessed what happened in Cleveland years ago, when the owner Art Modell moved them to Baltimore, and became the Ravens. My hometown borders Cleveland and Buffalo, and we do have quite a few Browns fans. There were actually many death threats levied at Modell when the deal went through, and i can’t imagine the Vikings owner even considering going down that same road to LA. This is what i mean about fans obsession with their favorite teams.
