If you can’t spot the sucker chasing another Vikings 11th hour playoff pipe dream, then you are the sucker.
Oh, sure, there are scenarios in which Minnesota can close this half-baked 2020 season with a pair of wins, finish 8-8 and emerge from the mathematical Cuisinart with a wild card* berth. A sliver of hope remains returning to the Superdome, sight of last year’s postseason salvation and 2009’s biblical demise. Like an annoying chunk of firewood under your fingernail. Just enough to stay engaged and inebriated Friday as you slurp the eggnog.
Merry Christmas, Clark. Crapper’s full.
