Vikings’ Radio Call Of Final Missed FG Is a Must-Listen
Green Bay Packers play this evening, and with that, Sundays are a little different. If you don’t have Redzone, you’re forced to likely watch the Bears, Vikings, or Lions. Sometimes, it’s two of them, sometimes, it’s just one. This week, we got saddled with the Chicago Bears, but the Vikings’ game did not make it our televisions. It’s too bad because that game was a cracker. The fireworks between Minnesota and Arizona felt like the Fourth of July with a back-and-forth affair that went to the final whistle. Minnesota had a shot to win it with a field goal. Paul Allen, Vikings radio host and known Minneapolis loud mouth, thought this was one in and the Vikings win. Instead it missed to the right. I might listen to this on loop until the Packers begin.

Is it better than the Nathan Poole call? No. Nothing will beat the Poole call which is also against the Cardinals. Now that Arizona team was far worse than the squad that rolled out there yesterday. The no part is what does it for me with this one. It’s also crazy that Arizona played out of in the elements for years. NFL is weird and blocks things from YouTube, so, you have to watch there. Still this is worth reliving today.
I appreciate that Allen doesn’t hide his homer boner with the Vikings. Like everyone knows he’s in the bag for the team. Is it annoying as a Packers fan? Yep. Do I bet most Vikings fans like it? Probably. Or they did and now he’s getting old so it’s fading. Whatever the case may be, I enjoy seeing Allen, one of the top Vikings fans, miserable.
Minnesota is now 0-2 with a game against Seattle then Cleveland in the next two weeks. They need to split those at least to have a shot at the playoffs.
