They were one of the powerhouse teams of the seventies, despite never
having won a Super Bowl in their history. I liked that their vaunted defense
was nicknamed "The Purple People Eaters." And I just dig VIKINGS. How
mighty and horn-helmet wearing! That's a name for a football team. Not
like the Saints, or the Redskins, or Jebus help us, the Bills.
Because they've never won the big one, the fanbase can't rest on past
laurels, and are also prone to snide comments from other fans whose teams
have won the big one. That actually makes me love being a Vikings
fan more.
Also...Adrian Peterson. Purple Jesus. The most gifted running back alive.
