One of the fun things about our Sunday morning walks at the Mall has been seeing out of town football fans. Every time the Vikes play at home we've seen visiting fans walking out there in the morning. Some of it is because the MOA is a recognized Minnesota landmark. Possibly more important is that it serves as a good place to catch the light rail to the stadium downtown.
This morning there were several Cowboy fans walking around out there. I got into a brief discussion with a father and son (ages 30's and 50's). The son was decked out in Cowboy gear and the father was wearing a Jets Favre jersey. The son was worried that Minnesota residents would mistake the Jets jersey for a Packer one. I assured him that we were quite familiar with Packer gear in the Twin Cities. In honesty, I don't know quite what message he was trying to send.
For the record, my favorite out of towners were the Bengal fans. You almost never see them in the wild.

Relia has obviously been watching football with me. Whenever she hears the word 'touchdown' she now says, "Touchdown, you betcha!".

Dahlia says "touchdown" every time she sees a commercial for football on tv....
Today Steve said 'Touchdown' during the game - when no one scored a touchdown just to get her to do it. Then he said "just kidding." After that Dahlia kept saying "Touchdown....kidding" I think she was talking to the Cowboys!
THAT is cute.
