What fans don’t love to relive the good times of their favorite team? Likewise, in a twisted sort of way, what fans can really resist a self-pitying look back on some of those times that tested their allegiance? Those forgettable games, seasons, and plays that made the good times even better?
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Minnesota Vikings by Steve Silverman (Foreword by Sean Salisbury) presents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the Minnesota Vikings. It also unmasks, but doesn’t revel in, the bad, the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly.
In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Vikings highlights, lowlights, wonderful and wacky memories, legends and goats, the famous and the infamous. You’ll relivethe Purple People Eaters, but also reminded ofthat 41-0 loss to the New York Giants in the 2000 NFC Championship (thought you had forgotten that, huh?).
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly Minnesota Vikings includes the best and worstVikings teams and players of all time, the most clutch performances and performers, the biggest choke jobs and chokers, great comebacks and blown leads, plus overrated and underratedVikings players and coaches. There areVikings you loved for all the right reasons, and those you couldn’t stand, sublime and embarrassing records, and trades, both savvy and savagely bad. Brawls and fights. Rivalries. Compelling photos. And much, much more.
If you’re a through-thick-and-thin Vikings fan, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Minnesota Vikings is especially for you. It will remind you of the good and great times and bring a knowing smile about some of those other times, when you proved to yourself just how loyal you are. For everyone else, this warts-and-all portrait of theVikings will provide countless fond memories, goose bumps, and laughs.
