Vikings LB tells Vikings fans to drink up

Found December 05, 2012 on It's Always Sunny in Detroit: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chad Greenway
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings

While the Vikings are busy watching film and preparing for the Bears in a must-win home game Sunday, Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway is also prepping the Vikes’ fans. “We have to play accordingly and our fans have to show up accordingly, which we know they will. Hopefully, they’re super-duper drunk. … So drink liquor, not beer… Yeah, I would say morning drinking. Why not? You could pull an all-nighter. Then you’d have the drunk, tired guys who will really be obnoxious.” Gee, it doesn’t sound like Greenway has any experience in getting “super-duper” drunk, does it?  The Vikings just played the Bears 11 days ago in a weird NFL scheduling quirk.  The Bears offense rang up 28 points in a systematic dismantling of the Vikes’ D. The Vikings currently sit at 6-6, two games back of the Bears and without the head-to-head tiebreaker.  They sit in the tenth spot in the NFC (six make the playoffs). I wonder if Greenway will personally be the designated driver for the “super-duper” drunk fans
