Minnesota Vikings, Favre, 49ers, and Dad's recap.

Alright, again this is a post where I wish MORE THAN ANYTHING in the world that you could hear audio. Remember the post where I thought I had the funniest grandparents in the world? Well, I've now come to realize that it definitely runs in the family. Most definitely.

So, you probably know this already but we are very, very, very excited about football season and watching our boys (Minnesota Vikings) play. We watch the games every single Sunday/Monday. No matter what.

This Sunday, my phone was dead so before the game, I plugged it into the charger and we left to go watch the game. Which...I'm not even going to talk about the game because I think you will get a pretty good, detailed explanation from my Dad.

We come home and I check my phone and it says I have FIFTEEN unheard messages. Yeah. 15 of them. I thought for SURE something was wrong with my phone. I thought maybe all of the messages were coming through from the weekend, or something. I don't think I've ever had that many messages at once!!

Anyway, so Kass, Trav, and I are all standing there, wondering who these messages were all from so I call my voicemail and put in on speakerphone.

The first one comes and it's my Dad. It's a little after half time and the 49ers (his team) scored the SECOND before the half so they are up by one and he is calling to inform me that his team is up on my team.

**Keep in mind that we have JUST come back from watching this fantastic game and we already know the end result. The end result was one of the greatest things that could have ever happened. So, we are sitting there laughing at how happy Dad is throughout the majority of the messages because we know (assuming all 15 messages are from him) that the last message he leaves is going to be epic. We know that the last message he leaves is going to include the update from the last two seconds of the game. It will be the message where he finds out that Favre makes an amazing pass and Minnesota wins the game. Yeah, we know his tone change in that one is going to be worth a million bucks.**

So...we continue to listen. And yes, all 15 were from my dad. Re-capping the entire second half basically. Since I can't figure out a way to get the audio on here, I will only do the last...and more important ones. Here are his messages, word for word.

First message sent Sunday 2:48pm.

By the end of the 15th message we were all crying. Dang it! I wish I could put the actual messages on here! SO FUNNY!

*Favorite part...look at the first message. There is enough hahaha's to last a lifetime. Then suddenly, they disappear. Just that quick.*

It was the BEST game. It's so nice to have a quarterback who can put out under pressure!! Wow. Did anyone else see the magic happen??
