But Policy, Yes.
I can't recall how many Super Bowls the Vikes have lost (sometimes active memory suppression works), but I can recall the exact moment I quit being a Vikings fan-- it was during the playoffs for the 1980 season. I was driving along Packard (west-bound ) in Ypsilanti, MI, and listening to the Vikes on the radio, last minutes of the game. They were behind by one TD, driving the field, only to be intercepted (or was it a fumble?) letting the Eagles put it out of reach. Haven’t watched or listened since. Thirty years, 15 games a year, three hours a game, pushing 1500 hours—three-quarters of a work year!

You've missed the Hershel Walker trade, the 1999 shanking NFC Championship game vs. the Falcons and the 40-0 drubbing in the Meadowlands.
Not much missed. But next weekend's game might be worth catching.
