The joke going around the NFL is that the weather gods are smiling on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre to the point of helping him to preserve his consecutive-games-started streak. On Sunday, a snow storm so vicious that it was able to collapse in an inflatable roof (think a large balloon, but slightly bigger; presumably slughtly tougher as well), forced the Vikings game against the New York Giants to be postponed one day. We prefer to take the more direct point of view out there and say that, if there are indeed weather gods, they were just doing their best at preventing the world from bearing witness to Minnesota shamelessly trying to put together a half-decent game of football. Considering the game will be played in Detroit, with the Vikings assuming the role of the home team, it could also be their subtle way of pointing out who the league's next Lions are.
Favre's streak is at 297 games currently. The Vikings' streak of suckiness meanwhile ran out two games ago, but their current run of mediocrity is at least 12 games old.
