It’s time for Vikings fans to get over the team’s 2009 loss to the Saints

If you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan, chances are you remember the first time they ripped your heart out of your chest and stomped on it.

For many of you, it was Gary Anderson missing wide left in the 1998 NFC Championship. But for those of us who were too young to be emotionally scarred by the “almost perfect” season, it was that one game in the Superdome in 2009 against the New Orleans Saints.

The one that happened over nine years ago.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I cried so hard I had to skip all of my classes the following day.
