A.D. and Co. know how to have fun

I’m going to let you in on a little secret — being a sportswriter can take the fan right out of you.

At least, it has for me.

Cover teams long enough, deal with athletes and coaches long enough, and slowly but surely, the fandom drains right out of you. I don’t cheer for any teams. I don’t pull for any programs. I just don’t have it in me anymore.

But the Minnesota Vikings are doing their darnedest to change that.

You probably think this is all about Brett Favre, and while it’s true that the old guy is really something special, I’ve never been a big fan of his. He isn’t the reason why I’m on the verge of cheering for the purple and gold.

No, the reason I’m really coming around to the Vikings is because they play fun. Some teams play fast. Some play hard. The Vikings play fun.

They just seem to be out there having a great time.
