yeah...same for me and my dad. Watching his wife get emotional hit my heart.
Really wish they had won it all 'that' year....
Denny was probably the best talent evaluator the vikes have had IMO

And Aretha Franklin just blew the roof off Ford Field with an amazing, soulful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner... WOW!

Chills.

Same. The way she talked about him fighting so hard and how he'd loved life and he fought to keep it... uffdah, that brought back some vivid memories.

Holy smokes, Aretha did a nice rendition of the national anthem. Probably the longest rendition I've ever heard though! :lol:

Getting no pressure on Stafford. He's carving us up.

If we don't get more pressure on Stafford, it's going to be a long day.

I guess tackling is not considered holding
