That... is awesome!!Sutsgold wrote:
As for personal moments, I grew up in Mankato before we moved to Chicago. Back in the 70s very few people went to training camp, so there was no cost to do so. It was a cheap way for my dad to entertain me. At the end of practice we would hang out at the gate where the players would walk out to cross the streets and head to the dorms. We would just stand there and I would give "fives" to the likes of Page, Tarkenton, Yary, Blair, Krause, Foreman, Eller and my alltime favorite Marshall. Those were great moments that I was lucky enough to share with my dad.
That really is awesome. A much as I am attached to all the teams following that era, those were the players I grew up with, and remain my favorites in many ways. What great memories to have!Sutsgold wrote:As for personal moments, I grew up in Mankato before we moved to Chicago.

For my birthday a month later my Dad somehow got the gloves to be signed. No idea if the autograph is real but hey...it was awesome! I told Jake Reed about it on Twitter last year and he was all "No way! sweet man" with me.
For those of us who watched that game, the play before that was almost as amazing. The Vikes had the ball back at their 20 with no timeouts, and threw the hook and lateral to (hey, forgive me if I'm wrong, but it's a 32 year old memory) Joe Senser, who lateraled to Ted Brown, who took it somewhere near midfield and got out of bounds. Essentially, they stacked up two once-in-a-lifetime plays to win that game, because they weren't scoring on a hail mary from their own 20.Dark wrote:My personal favorite moment was Ahmad Rashad's hail mary catch against the Browns in 1980 to win the game. That was an absolutely amazing play.
Its funny you say that, because I was arguing with myself whether to choose Ahmad Rashad's catch or that one.Now that I think about it, I could of just said that whole drive.John_Viveiros wrote: For those of us who watched that game, the play before that was almost as amazing.

There have been a bunch of great plays by Vikings like Alan Page, Adrian Peterson, Cris Carter, Moss, etc. that I simply loved. That Moss lateral to Williams is probably my favorite Moss moment.
