Unlike in recent seasons, this year’s rookie class doesn’t have those top two or maybe three players that transcend the event. For example, everyone knew Jacksonville was going with Trevor Lawrence months before the draft took place, so the pick announcement was a mere formality.The thing is, Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke will have several options when it comes to the top selection. The team can go offense, defense, or perhaps trade out of that spot. There are several outcomes that can take place come April. Let’s take a look at a few of them.” uploaddate=”2022-03-28″ thumbnailurl=”undefined” contentUrl=”https://cdn.brid.tv/live/partners/17660/streaming/981715/981715.m3u8″ width=”16″ height=”9″]
This quote is from March 26th, 2022, by Michelle, a Vikings fan, on Twitter:
“Saw this somewhere: The Vikings are like your kids. You don’t love them because they’re good, you love them because they’re yours. #SKOL.”

And here’s the official tweet:
We promised “humorous” in this daily article, and we delivered.
Michelle is correct. In the Super Bowl era, the Vikings are the NFL’s fifth-best franchise per winning percentage. During that same timeframe, every team ranked in the Top 14 for win percentage has a Super Bowl trophy — except the Vikings.
So, fans must ask themselves, “Why do I love this team again?”
You know you’ve done that, perhaps on a frigid day in January 2016 or even in Week 2 of the 2021 regular season versus the Arizona Cardinals.
Well, Michelle has the answer. Re-read her apropos tweet.
