Being a realist, (which is the opposite of most Viking fans) targeting an opposing player's injury happens all the time, the smart thing to do is not talk about it. Darren Sharper is not that smart as evidenced by the fact that he both played for the Vikings and now he is talking smack about Burt’s ankle.

Worst case scenario is if one of the Saints rolls up on BrINT’s ankle on national TV. The howling and hissy fits from the gay bars of Minneapolis will be at an all-time decibel level. The conspiracy theories that were started after the Vikings lost the NFC championship game (which was the 5th NFC championship game loss leaving the Vikings with an 0-5 record for those keeping score at home) will be fueled to another level beyond the grassy knoll into Area 151.

I don’t wish ill will to any football player but the sheer entertainment factor of watching the panty wearing Viking fans self destruct might be worth the exception.
