[21twelve]

I was trying to find a video of the winters in Minnesota. One of the players said before the games they would pick their scabs and get the blood flowing down their arms and legs to look meaner. And in the third quarter, like clockwork, the cold wind would pick up and start blowing the flags and rattling the lights. And the players would start chanting “Odin, Odin, Odin...”

Instead I found this one about the 1969 season with Joe Kapp. Talks about how Grant got the Vikings act together.

At minute 24 the video talks about the scabs and the chanting of Odin. Great stuff!

I have that on DVD. It really does bring back memories. When I think of Joe Capp, I automatically think Tim Tebow.

Same kind of QB, but Capp was a hard nosed Catholic with an attitude.

Neither Capp nor Tebow can hit the side of the barn, but that's OK. They'll just run through it and anyone in their way to the endzone.
