First off a disclaimer...I am a Vikings fan. Therefore everything I write will be wrong according to at least 98% of Packer fans. I must say I'm still torn about the possibility of # 4 coming to the Twin Cities and wearing purple. I still don't know how I'm going to handle cheering for the guy I've jeered for years.
