Apparently the Vikings coaching staff shares the same belief as HM and some other Minnesota readers that Devin Hester is not a Hall of Famer, so what the heck-just kick to him. With the new kick-off rules, just about any NFL kicker should kick into the endzone everytime. Watching the game, as soon as I saw Devin having to come out of the endzone to catch the ball, I screamed "Are you freakin' kidding me?" Once Devin caught the ball, I knew that there was about an 80% chance that he was another TD and at worst a decent return of about 30-40 yards. Sure enough, history was made (With each TD, Devin just adds to his record of kick returns for TDs.) But if not bad enough for the Vikes, on their next punt, what does Kluwe do? Apparently not happy with the boos he heard previously, kicks it directly to Devin, which he almost broke free for another TD.
To top it off, Devin may have had his best game as a receiver. Maybe the Bears can play him occasionally at DB (something he did at the University of Miami), he can add an interception return for TD to his resume.
Victory Monday is always enjoyable, even over a bad team. A bad team that I will be rootign for next week. "Go Vikes, Play your game! Beat the Packers." (One can dream, right?)

Do you want them to win, or do you want them to play their game? Make up your mind.
Good point. Vikes, Beat the Packers, by any menas possible- luck, crappy play by the PACK-whatever works!
Tim Brown and Andre Reed and Cris Carter are not in the NFL Hall of Fame. Each has between 60 and 100 more career TDs than does Mr. Hester.
Is he the best ever at his position? Well the Vikings may not think so because they like to kick it right to him. But if he is the best ever at his position, then he belongs in the Hall of Fame, jus tlike Ray Guy belongs in.
I'm not sure we will both live lng enough to see this to fruition, but I'll bet you a dinner of your choice Hester NEVER makes the HOF.
