Yes, yes, tonight's "Monday Night Football" game is somewhat key to deciding that last playoff slot in the NFC, and it's nice to have an MNF game mean something. But who cares about Purple Jesus and the Vikings. It's Kyle Orton's night to shine!
Deadspin Hall of Fame Kyle Orton has the hopes of a needful nation in his hands; we have this wild dream of Orton throwing for 300 yards in each of the next three games and causing a full-blown QB controversy in Chicago this offseason. Donovan McNabb? Please! It's Neckbeard time.
Above is a rooting section all set to go in the Metrodome tonight, and we can only hope the MNF cameras catch them. It's all Orton, all the time. Let's get out there and show the support the man needs.

Whoa, the Deadspin logo real estate is massive now...
I honestly don't even know if I should be saying no or dude here...
Wow, we have a counter on how many posts in the last 24 hours...that's worth the price of a redesign!
But Matt, at least the arrow signs are STILL HERE, thank goodness!
Yeah, 300 yards and only three interceptions per game. It's kind of sad that would actually cause a QB controversy in Chicago.
Neckbeard Army > Kiss Army
I stopped shaving early last week in tributes...
Skol Vikings, let's win this game,
Skol Vikings, honor your name,
Go get a first down, then get a touchdown,
Rock 'em!
Sock 'em!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Skol Vikings, run up the score,
You'll hear us cheer for more...
V-I-K-I-N-G-S!
Skol Vikints, let's go!
@Theodore_Donald_Kerabatsos: I've been waiting all football season to sing that.
I don't understand the new design. I'm confused and scared and feel out of place. Somebody hold me...
Also, are those 3 degenerates in the picture people we know, or just random missionaries out to spread the Good Word of The Neckbeard?
Just when I was getting used to these here internets they have to go and change it on me.
My neckbeard is in full effect. Go Bears!
If only Kyle Orton were as charismatic as Gene Simmons... or at least had SOME stories of sexual conquests attached to him.
And please, ladies and gents, keep the Chuck Norris/Kyle Orton's beard lines to a minimum. Only because I can't think of any at the moment. I'm just not that witty. Help.
I Knew The Deadspins had a New York / Eastcoast Bias! NEW YORK, 6:23 PM, MON DEC 17
@She Blinded Me With Violence: The Nightmare Ant is either leaving us a gift, or slowly taking over the deadspin.
AHh why can't I see what I type? I feel naked.
1) Nightmare Ant takes control of Deadspin over the weekend.
2) Complete redesign of Deadspin the next business day.
I'm not Columbo or anything, but looks like somebody left enough clues to sink a ship.
Since Adrian Peterson being known as "Purple Jesus" has been written into law, can I propose that Sidney Rice be known as "Minnesota Moses" henceforth?
Re: the new design...
It's clear that Nightmare Ant is still running the show.
@Brazil Thrill: THE END IS NEAR WILL SMITH SAVE US!

genius.
@She Blinded Me With Violence: I am all for it. Not only does it invite more faiths to follow the Promised Ones, but I truly think Moses himself would appreciate the gesture.
So how long before Suss decides to go for the all-time post record in a 24-hour period?
I'd like to preview my comments now.
Until then:
@preciousroy:
The Sex Cannon is not going to have any of this...
Mark my words, Neckbeard is leading us to the promised land.
What we need is some kind of cross-pollination of Grossman and Orton. Which will lead to:
The SexBeard.
Rogue genetic scientists...get at it.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: I think you just blew my mind.
@Lizalicious: That's my job ma'am. Glad to oblige.
@LosOsosdeChicago: What did he promise you, exactly?
GO GO K.O.!
@patbooyah: If I bought one of those shirts for Orton do you think he would vomit on it for me? That would really complete the look.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: Didn't Elaine realize that she was a SexBeard during a Seinfeld episode?
"Adrian Peterson will be victorious!"

I am getting my wish of seeing the great Neckbeard in HD from my LDR room tonight. I am being induced shortly before kickoff. I think that time was picked just so the doctor could go take in the splendor herself.
Um, Will ... the Skins are playing the Giants tonight. Fuck. Get it right.
Or was it the Vikings? Fuck.
Just curious - was the neckbeard thing a Deadspin-only phenomenon, or was it seen elsewhere out in the wild wacky intertubes?
The guy at the store promised me this new HD monitor wouldn't have any scan lines.
Friggin' liar.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: I'm afraid the SexBeard would grow too powerful, to the point where no alcoholic beverage or vagina would be considered safe.
@Coming Into The Game, The Superstar Receiver, Of Your Upper Deck Torontooo BJsss: Will Smith better get his HTML skills up to date.
@J.E. Skeets: I'm pretty sure its the Hawaii Bowl tonight. Aloha indeed.
Also, whats this about losing preview text? I've still got mine. Maybe its only IE, I'm running firefox.
No arrows or preview text on IE. But I can send this article to a friend. I'll be sending it to tips@deadspin.com shortly.
Ok, so I won my FF playoff scoring 52 points this week.
WTF.
I yearn for the quarterbacking days of Jonathan Quinn, Medicine Woman. I also can't wait for the FOX graphic next weekend during Bears-Packers that reminds all of how many QBs Chicago has gone through since Brett Favre took over. Hold me.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: HAHAHA. Funniest thing I read all day not called " A Prayer To Jesus To Give Jessica Simpson Leprosy."
I've been rockin' the neckbeard since before Orton made it cool. Who's in my army? Ladies...
@Spaceman Bill Leah:
congrats for real..for now..until the pain comes. And please don't get too many meds so you end up with "neckbeard" for a 2nd middle name!
@Lisa:
For the little one I mean...your husband, well that can be fair game in pain!
@PeteJayhawk: Chin strap is different, my dear. Or is this a new thing I don't know about...
@Lisa: I made my husband promise to not let them give me any narcotics in order to avoid these types situations.
I can't wait until I can get back to posting on DUAN while drunk.
@Lizalicious: Oh, good point. My neck is beard-free, I guess. Still...who's with me?
@Spaceman Bill Leah:
DUAN drunk, and don't forget DUAN delirious with lack of sleep...both can be a hoot!
Make sure your husband gets on DUAN tomorrow night with the details of the new arrival...just in time for Christmas (I'm a Christmas baby too, my b'day is Thursday.
We're cheering you on all the way...even if they won't let you have the laptop to see it.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: Congratulations! Although what kind of future is fortold by the visage of the Neckbeard overlooking the birth?
@Dr. Michael Mancini:
Only good things...unless he also overlooks open receivers or taking the snap.
@Spaceman Bill Leah: And waking up at 1 AM with a baby crying, only to check DUAN and not fall back asleep. Actually thats not a bad thing, considering the baby could be back up in an hour.
@Tuffy:
If those Dolphins fans can be optimistic and have it pay off yesterday, tonight can be Orton's night.
Plus, he's better than P.T. Willis and Will Furrer, Bears QBs that still haunt my dreams.
@LosOsosdeChicago: Don't forget Moses Moreno.
I can't wait to begin watching the neckbeard in action. I hope he is drunk.
I just got the word that Lucy Pinder is featured in more nudie pics, this time on Maxim. (NSFW, unless you work at a really cool place)
/threadjackin' it
@PeteJayhawk: I am with you.
@Brazil Thrill: She's the one with the huge cans, right?
Wow. You know, it's not the unnecessary redesigns that bug me. Hey, I'm in IT, I understand - you gotta give 'em a reason to pay you. But guys, seriously? Have some pride in your work. This just looks fucking amateur.
Disclaimer: If it's intern night at Gawker IT, then by all means, carry on. Just make sure you get this mess cleaned up before the old folks come back to work in the morning.
@Brazil Thrill: I don't know who the hell she is, but nice rack!
@PeteJayhawk: Please keep it like that:)
@Lizalicious: Yup, she's the one with the pretty face and huge bazookas.
