Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the Minnesota Vikings documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Vikings highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the “Purple People Eaters,” as well as the 41-0 loss to the New York Giants in the 2000 National Football Conference Championship.
