Poor-spelling Vikings fan holds up sad sign at Packers-Cardinals

So give the kid credit for that. Then on top of that, he has a sense of humor to make fun of himself. We also approve heartily. Plus, his hangdog look makes it all work on a certain level.

But the spelling mistake? Woof. That was a Blair Walsh-esque sign shank.
