If the NFL were capable of embarrassment, they and the Vikings would send a refund to everyone who attended their "game" on Saturday night.
About 90 minutes before the "Vikings" "played" the "49ers," the Vikings released a list of 27 players who would not play. That list included everyone you might want to see.
Imagine buying a ticket for the Rolling Stones, and having Mick Jagger and Keith Richards stay behind the curtain while the winners of a karaoke contest performed. That's what the NFL is selling you, if you are enough of a sucker to believe they care about entertaining you in August.
