With all the media talking about Favre and his ankle, I figured it is time to bring this out.
Ode to the NFC Championship Game
The Vikings came in so strong and so proud,
To unseat the powerful Saints before their home crowd.
The Saints offense was the best,
Just to say the least,
Because their passing and running game is a seven headed beast.
The Vikings lined up with a will to survive,
And with the first play of the game,
The Super Dome came alive.
Favre dropped back into the pocket looking to throw,
But Sidney Rice was covered by Jabari Greer like the ground blanketed by snow.
Favre looked to his left and rolled out to his right,
But McCray & Will Smith rushed in from nowhere, And “kissed” him goodnight!
Through the Super Dome roar, there was a bone chillin sound,
When we looked through the crowd, We saw Favre on the ground.
Our Defense had made the stop, though it wasn’t with ease.
Now it’s time for our Best Weapon.
Can You say Drew Brees?
When the Saints got the Ball,
On a First and a Ten,
Brees found P.T. in the flat,
And He cruised right on in.
When the Vikes went ahead, doubters started to groan,
Before they could blink, Devery was in the end zone.
Time to change up the pace, Let’s try the groun(d).
Handoff to Pierre, “Bam!” His 2nd Touchdown.
Brees next found Reggie who gave it his all,
Dove for the endzone on a controversial call.
Coach Payton said “Let’s take this to the replay booth”.
Tape showed Bush scored by the skin of a tooth.
The hittin was brutal, Best I ever seen.
Jon Vilma and the Scotts were tacklin machines.
The Vikes thought they could elude us,
By running past Harper.
Say hello to your ex-teammate, “Bam!” His name’s Darren Sharper.
The Game got intense, and Bodies was flyin,
It wasn’t no chess match, You know I a’int lying.
Vikes led the stats and couldn’t be humbled,
Till Saints played like Sinners and created fumbles.
The Saints played the game perfect (?) And that, made You wonder,
As The Super Dome crowd was roaring like thunder,
The Vikings looked spent and tired,
Like they had been plunder(ed).
“Time Out” (to rest) Vikes looking befuddled
“Wait a Damn minute, There’s 12 in yo huddle”!
Thank Goodness the Referee made the right call.
Time for the “D” to step up, Vikes still have the Ball.
One last play of the game for Favre to change outcome and perception,
But Tracy Porter read them eyes,
And came up with a BIG interception.
In overtime Kicker, Hartley was seen getting his “pep talk” from Coach P.
Suspense cause the Vikes mouths to open and drop to one knee.
Cause His kick down the pipe, hit the fleur-de-frickin-lis.
As the final play ended,
The Vikings were shaking cold and clammy,
They were last seen on the sideline crying into a shammy,
Cursing their miscues, They said were a whammy.
AS THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS told them BYE and HEADED OFF TO MIAMI!!
Now isn’t it funny how life can unfold.
After waiting a lifetime, The Saints are finally in the Super Bowl!
Florida will Never be the same
Since the years waited were over 40.
Saints Fans invading Yo Town,
To bring home the Lombardi
On the Week before Mardi Gras
There’ll be one helluva PARTY.
