Support for Vikings

THE St Paul Saints, a minor league baseball team in Minnesota, are to temporarily change their name as a gesture of support for the Vikings, who face the New Orleans Saints in the NFL playoffs tomorrow. The team said in a statement on their Website that they had responded to a campaign by a local radio station and would be known as "The Paul" until after Sunday's NFC Championship game. The Vikings, led by 40-year-old quarterback Brett Favre, face the Saints in the Louisiana Superdome with a place in the Super Bowl at stake. St Paul also said it would wear special jerseys featuring simply "The Paul" next year.
