Round of applause for Kevin Burkhardt, who called an absolutely crazy Game 7 of the World Series last night and then still somehow had the energy to sell all of Tom Brady's bad baseball analogies during Vikings/Lions today

Can't say enough about the choice to go for it like that.
It says a lot about KOC's confidence in the kid.
Lots of work left to do, but that win could possibly turn the tide of the season.

Ladies, find yourself someone who loves you as much as these referees love calling soft penalties

No YOU were looking for the FLAG icon after that block

I was a bit puzzled with that choice too
I'm still curious why the Vikings declined a holding penalty that would have made it 1st and 30.(Also moving a FG attempt into 50+)
What was the thinking there?
