We beat Cleveland by two touchdowns. Not bad. Things to take note of.
1. Again, AP is the man, and I fully expect him to break the single season rushing record this year.
2. Percy Harvin is a legitimate weapon. He can run the ball and catch the ball, showing good skills as a wideout thus far. Great day returning the ball as well, averaging 33 yards a return.
3. Favre did exactly what we needed him to do under the circumstances.
4. We have to get our coverage situation under control. It was an area of weakness for us last year, so giving up a punt return touchdown on week one makes me a little nervous. Chris Walsh! Where are you????
5. We gave up 89 rushing yards, shutting down the run for most of the game. I continue to love watching teams try to run the ball against us.
6. Bernard Berrian did not catch a pass. That concerns me.
7. Adrian Peterson made a number of players look foolish in his last touchdown run, making me jump off my couch yelling and clapping. He is the man.

Things My Wife Knows About Football
This is a rebuttal to an earlier post where I insulted my wife's knowledge about football. She compiled this list in about two minutes.
Football:
1. wide receiver
2. quarterback
3. touchdown
4. field goal
5. running back
6. blitz
7. penalty
8. tight end
9. "the line"
10. hold
11. sacked in the pocket
12. hand off or throw
13. defense/offense
I guess I was wrong... Also of note, the Vikings regular season kicks off in exactly 14 minutes!!!!!!! This is going to be a season for the ages. The sooner you recognize that the better.

7 Reasons The Vikings Will Kill The Browns
7. We are better than they are. We are 9th in ESPN power rankings. They are 28th.
6. Visanthe Shiancoe is anxious to show off his new touchdown dance. He has been staying late after practice for the past week perfecting it.
5. Brady Quinn just came out of the closet... for being an inept sucky quarterback.
4. The Williamses STILL don't have to serve their 4 game suspension. It's really more of a hypothetical suspension at this point.
3. Adrian Peterson, who has only been tired in one football game in his life.
2. The Browns coaching staff all took IQ tests this past weekend and their collective average score classification was Cretin.
1. Favre heard that a Wrangler Jeans scout will be at the game.
