You can thank Frank Gilliam and Jerry Reichow for the team's eighth player
to be chosen to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, John Randle, who was elected
last weekend.
With the Saints taking down the Colts, Vikings fans will be left to wonder
what might have been had they won the NFC Championship over New Orleans.
Even as Brett Favre mulls retirement, the Vikings can take comfort knowing
that essentially the same team will return next season.
Vowing to cease subsidizing low-revenue teams such as the Vikings, NFL
owners are taking their fight with the NFL Players Association to a
Minnesota judge, intensifying labor tensions and the team's campaign for a
new Twin Cities stadium.
The Saints' victory over the Colts on Sunday night in the Super Bowl
probably made many Vikings fans -- not to mention members of the
organization -- feel even worse about what happened two weeks ago at the
Louisiana Superdome in the NFC title game.
John Randle's always-all-out attitude carried the former Vikings great into
the Hall of Fame.
Saturday was an interesting one for NFC North fans. We got defensive lineman
John Randle into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but were stymied on two
other fronts:
The Vikings went 1 for 2 Saturday as former defensive tackle John Randle was
among the players elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Former Vikings defensive tackle John Randle was selected to the Hall of Fame
on Saturday in the Class of 2010.
Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle John Randle has been elected to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame, it was announced today.
John Randle became the 10th person with primary ties to the Vikings voted
into the Pro Football Hall of Fame today. Randle will be part of the
seven-member Class of 2010, which won't include wide receiver Cris Carter.
There is no questioning Cris Carter's credential to be a member of the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. But, after two years of not receiving the required 80
percent of votes for induction, Carter, John Randle and 15 other would-be
Hall of Famers await the vote today of the selection committee.
John Randle once told me if he could change anything about the way he played
football, he would give himself Inspector Gadget arms because it would be
easier to grab a quarterback and sack him.
The Colts quarterback was just a grade-schooler and hanging around Vikings
practices when he got to know Pro Bowl safety Joey Browner.
If Vikings fans are still as blue as Brett Favre's ankle about missing out
on the Super Bowl, this is bound to cheer up some of them: The Twin Cities
Puppy Bowl.
Former Minnesota Vikings Cris Carter and John Randle are among 15 modern-era
finalists for Pro Football Hall of Fame voting that will take place Saturday
in South Florida.
Vikings receiver Percy Harvin ended the season by winning the NFL Rookie of
the Year award, voted on by fans at NFL.com.
Bryant McKinnie went on Sirius NFL Radio Thursday to try to explain his
absence from the Pro Bowl. The Vikings tackle said a numbing injection he
took to get through the NFC Championship Game was wearing off.
Former Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter and defensive tackle John Randle
are among the 17 finalists who will be considered for induction into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2010 when the Hall's 44-member selection
committee meets on Saturday in South Florida. The announcement will be made
on Saturday afternoon.
A week after being dismissed from the NFC Pro Bowl team because of unexcused
absences, Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie offered no apologies and made
it known he felt too much was made of the situation.
Vikings rookie Percy Harvin won another award Thursday when it was announced
that he was the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year.
