Rooting for the Bengals for some reason. I'm a Dolphins fan and, yea that hasn't gone so well this decade. But over the past few years I've had a soft spot for Cincinnati (wow, I really did not know hot to spell that) and have sort of been rooting for them.
It's the NFL. I honestly don't give a sh*t..

Let's be real here. The Vikings aren't winning this game unless their defense plays an amazing game and Peterson plays out of his mind again. Webb is just asking for a pick 6 every time he is about to get sacked. This will probably get ugly. Hopefully tomorrow features a couple good games.
