Your favorite football team and why.

My team is the Minnesota Vikings.
Not only because I was born and raised in Minnesota I also had a
extended family member who was part owner though a small
share owner (10%) when the Viking franchise came to Minnesota.

His name Ole Haugsrud. His wife was my grandfather's cousin. Her mother was my great grandfather's sister.
He also owned a NFL team in the 1920's The Duluth Eskimos.

Here's a little about him and how he got a share in the Vikings.

Ole Haugsrud

My Pa was a Packer fan. My Aunt and uncle lived in St. Paul.. I remember going up with Pa on a Sunday for a Pack-Vikes game.. Pa yelling at the TV because Tarkenton was 'runin around like a god-damn squirrel!'. Then he'd pop up and throw a 30 yard pass. I still love Tarkenton.. what a player he was.
