I thought this was a pretty cool thing they celebrated this weekend - and that they were outside in the snow for Monday was old school (I know it's much more comfortable in a dome, but It was a blast watching the old Bud Grant Vikes playing in the snow)

I'm not a big Vikings fan, they are okay - but they are my brother's favorite team, so I remember most of these guys. And It's nice that it's all about Minnesota, the home town. (could you do something like this for The Oilers/Titans? I know Bud could, but there appears to be a clear division for some fans and some players where it's Houston and Tennessee and the 2 don't merge)

Poor Gary Anderson, I bet if he had hit that field goal in the NFC Championship game he would have made that list.

Lord don't mention that game to my bro, that was the heartbreaker, even more so than last year's fumble fest. And that was a great, exciting team. I'd have rather seen them in the SB against Denver, I think they matched up better. But yeah, he'd have made the list. Perfect until the last kick *groan*

Leif Erikson, Wotan, and Alberich -- not necessarily in that order.
