this is why fran tarkenton is one of the greatest of all time. he takes the blame, he announces, he played, he does all this. for the fans. such a nice guy.
I was born in 1967! I remember watching Tarkenton and he was just such a legend. If you see some of the Superbowl games they lost the calls were poor. Lots of penalties were not called like interference which cost the Vikings at least two of those Superbowl's. Tarkenton goes down in history as an original and one of the best people ever in the business. God bless him!!
Fran Tarkenton, my childhood Hero, along with all those Vikings.. and I've never even been to Minnesota.?!! .... when I die, it won't be my parents I see in Heaven, it will be those mid-70s Vikings..
God bless you, Fran. I was there as a very young fellow in the 70's along with my Dad in Georgia pulling for you and the purple people eaters. Thank you and your team mates for giving it all. Those teams you played against in the Superbowls go down as being some of the greatest ones so you and your team mates can be proud of your accomplishments and the joy you gave a lot of Minnesota fans and fans from Georgia, too..... loved the Vikings and still do.
I grew up a Viking fan, right in the middle of Cowboy and Chief country. I was an outcast, but didn't care, l loved the Minnesota Vikings. I'm 63, and yes, I remember Francis Tarkenton well, he is still the Viking QB I'll always consider him number one
Fran Tarkenton. One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time! And one of the original scramblers. He would run back and forth and evade tacklers and then connect! Great player!
Great piece. I hate it when they have those primetime games and during the intro's they show clips of only past Vikings from the late 80's to the present, and don't show Viking greats from the 60's and 70's.
Odis Hutchinson 'yeah but he went the wrong way down one-way street', what are you a cop?! Maybe you should just write him a ticket; if that will make you feel better.?..
Sir Francis you have nothing to be ashamed of. I'm 56 years old and remember watching you guys when i was a kid, along with my dad. you guys were my heroes. When I played city ball I wore a Vikings helmet just like yours. I even wrote a letter to Carl Eller as a kid and met all of them at the State Fair once; shook Carl Ellers hand. Thanks for the memories!
Retired in 1978, while still playing well, and he broke all of the NFL passing records, not to mention his innovative scrambling out of the pocket to avoid sacks !! Coaches like Van Brocklin at Vikings wanted him to stay in the pocket, thank God he never listened ! I'm both a Viking & Giant fan and he brought his winning attitude to both organizations. I still have a Fran Tarkenton Viking jersey . Back in the day there weren't too many QB's leaving the pocket, well now your seeing the Tarkenton brand of football played by many of todays NFL QB's. I never saw his induction into the HOF and haven't seen Fran since his days on Monday Night football with Howard who always referred to him as Sir Francis. Thanks so much for this video, it showed how much of a class guy he is as well as so many of his Minnesota Viking teamates and Coach Grant. How he rallied for and lead his roommate/ Center Mick Tinglehoff into the HOF after so long a wait speaks volumes as to his character, his leadership, dedication and class !! It was nice to hear that Bud Grant and do many NFL HOF competitors were touched and moved by his speech. You don't need Superbowl Rings to show that you truly a winner !!!
I was a Vikings fan starting in 1973 at age five living in New Jersey. Sure I wish they had won a Superbowl. But I wouldn't change a single thing to get it. What a special time. Special memories that I will take with me to heaven. Special men that I never met but loved with all my heart and soul. I can still see myself lying in bed as a kid trying to get to sleep on a Sunday night thinking about that days game nine out of ten times I only saw highlights of. It seems like a lifetime ago. What a special time for sports the 1970s and 80s were. My team. My guys. My heroes. Joe Kapp, Bud Grant, Fran Tarkenton, Chuck Foreman, Allen Page, Sammy White, Wally Hilgenberg, Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, Gary Larson, Ahmad Rashad, Jeff Siemon, Bill Brown, John Gilliam, Mick Tingelhoff, Ron Yary, Paul Krause, Stu Voigt, Ed White, Roy Winston, Bobby Bryant, Matt Blair, Jerry Burns, Tommy Kramer, Joey Browner, Anthony Carter, Chris Doleman, Scott Studwell, Dave Huffman, Steve Jordan, Leo Lewis, Kirk Lowdermilk, Doug Martin, Keith Millard, Chris Carter, Wade Wilson, Gary Zimmerman, Tim Irwin, Henry Thomas. Metropolitan Stadium. Thanks for all the memories. I love and miss you guys.
Fran will always be the greatest Viking quarterback ever, not even close, and one of the greatest quarterbacks who ever played but to my generation of fans, the Baby Boomers, Joe Kapp will always be the most beloved Viking of them all. RIP Joe ❤
One of my greatest memories, was the whipping you gave the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in 1977...I believe that was the year...great performance.
Enjoyed watching you play from 61-78 even watching from Cleveland. Happy for you when you broke John Unitas TD passes at 291 in Buffalo. Finished at 342 and now shows what a completely different game from the one I loved watching.
He said he didn’t make it happen for the Vikings but he did Fran made memories for the Vikings and that will live on forever thank you Mr. Tarkenton for all those memories.
Ty Steelers fans ,from a life long Vikings fan,class act on your part, my father God rest his soul was from Altoona loved his Steelers, but he raised his family in Toledo Ohio I was a Vikings fan me and Dad didn't get along that day LOL.
I grew up a L.A. Rams fan in the 1970's. The Vikings broke my heart so many times in December and January it almost wasn't real. But having watched these players after their playing days were over there is not one Viking that I do not like personally.
As a Kid watching this team and the Head Coach, made the biggest impact of my life outside of my Mom/ Dad Brothers and Sisters. To this day I am emotional about this team. Those teams created something special even though they lost the big one 4 times. They never quit until they got to old to play. That's important right there. Never quit because you keep winning because you are trying....
They had an aging team in the 70s and met three of the best teams in nfl history. Their real chance was in 69 when the team was still young but stram and the chiefs prevented that.
It is a absolutely a shame that Jim Marshall is not in the pro football Hall of Fame. One of the toughest men to have ever play the game. Hopefully 2019 is his year
Fran was a fine QB and the Vikings had a fine team...but he faced possibly the two best teams in NFL History, the '73 Dolphins (who won 24 - 7 and the game really wasn't that close) and the '74 Steelers (who won by only 16 - 6).
And let's not forget a darn good chiefs team and another ferocious team in the 1976 Raiders. Think about the Vikings Superbowl opponents.... Chiefs, Steelers, Dolphins and Raiders. The only thing that bothered me was that the Vikings would beat these teams handily during the regular season but just wouldn't show up in the Superbowl. I think some of it had to do with the Vikings being one of the great cold weather teams but the Superbowl's were for the most part played on nice fields in good weather. And the Vikings lost that edge. The only bad weather Superbowl they played was against the Steelers in Tulane Stadium New Orleans. The game was close even though the Steelers defense was suffocating. A couple of weird things happened against the Vikings that day. The terrible handoff from Fran with football bouncing off L.C. Greenwood's yellow shoe back to Fran who fell on it for a Steelers safety. The opening kickoff in the second half being kicked on the ground by Roy Gerela who slipped on the wet artificial turf and fumbled by Bill Brown who never got control of the ball. The Vikings blocking a Steeler's punt for a touchdown to pull within two points 9-7 but they missed the extra point leaving the score 9-6. And the apparent fumble by the Steelers wide receiver and recovery by the Vikings that would have given the ball to the Vikings offense down by three with five minutes to play and the momentum of the moment. But the officials called the play dead. No fumble recovery. And the Steelers iced the game a few plays later with a passing touchdown with three minutes to go and a 16-6 advantage.
Fran, I wasn't even born yet when you started playing but the Viking purple of the 1970s has always fascinated me and always will. Hard working, team oriented and a true love for one another. Thank you for being a great example. I love watching clips of you and those fantastic Vikings teams.
Why isn't Jim Marshall In the Hall of Fame absolutely ridiculous, I'll tell you why cuz the Vikings didn't win their super bowl they lost all four, but that doesn't diminish the greatness of that '70s franchise I've been a viking fan since 1970, it's April of 2021 I still am, I've lived in Ohio all my life and many of my friends and family are viking fans and we have been forever. It's not easy they break our hearts but I'm always loyal.
As an Alabama kid in the Early 70's I latched on to the Minnesota Vikings as My Favorite Team. In 1980 I was living in Bloomington Normal Illinois. I was a Normal Community Ironman Class of 1981. I saw the Kramer to Rashad pass against the Browns. I went Bonkers, THE VIKINGS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS !
As a kid i remember watching Fran T. He was the most exciting qb to watch, you felt you were running escaping throwing with him. I was always sorry he didnt win the championship. Great QB most fun to watch maybe all time
I always admired Fran Tarkenton as a player and a broadcaster. He was True Blue(purple) football. This Video Interview is really him as he always was. Im watching this video because of him. Thanks for the Memories.
Tarkington won’t give up on play ever. Grant made the team stand at attention for national anthem. Merlin Olson of the Rams didn’t like chasing him around the back field.
That a football player. He dazzled us with his poise under pressure. He didn't dazzle us with his personal problems. And he played when hitting wasn't illegal.
He was My Favorite QB growing up & His Purple #10 Jersey was the Only Football Jersey I Ever Owned & Started My Life Long Love of the Color Purple... When He Retired I Stopped Watching Football & It wasn't Until Some Scrawny Kid Named Brady Won His 2nd Super Bowl That I Started Watching Again...
Fran was my idol as a kid growing up in the 70's I just wish he and the rest of the Vikings would have played better in a few of those SB games . The other teams were great yes it's true but these same Vikings beat most of those same teams in the regular season at one time or another . The most frustrating thing was just how flat out terrible the Vikings performed in those 4 SB games . If Tark played with todays pass friendly rules he would have put up 100,000 yards and 500 TD's .
What are things he did back in the day a lot of credit should have gone to Chuck Foreman for helping him out of jams on the field but he never mentions them
My thoughts exactly, they recently did a top 10 greatest Vikings of all time, Chuck Foreman wasn't on the list, he didn't even get an honorable mention, sad....
Fran praised Chuck Foreman while he was his teammate and after they both were retired many of the things he said about Chuck Foreman was he was one of the greatest running backs he was a great player coming out of the backfield to catch passes he was a great threat as a runner and a great pass catcher and had many more good things to say about Chuck Foreman from his first year with the team and to this day
That's my Minnesota Vikings does my heart good to hear Fran tell those stories, nothing better my whole life than having Sunday dinner and looking forward to my Vikings game great memories the old black and blue division
I think Jerry Burns was the REAL creator of the "West Coast Offense" not Bill Walsh. He had the Vikings throwing the ball to the running back out in the flat and off play action years before Walsh did it with the 49ers.
Yeah well your sports intelligence is absolutely burgeoning, he only held every record a quarterback could hold when he retired at a time and an era where run was the name of the game, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you really didn't think about your post before you sent it.
Mr. Tarkenton you will never know the joy you gave me as kid . Thank you so much for the memories .
Thank you well said I feel exactly the same way, that man made me a viking fan for life
Even as a Rams fan during Tarkenton’s era, I salute his greatness. He was lethal.
Well said, love my vikings.
He was the greatest QB in Vikings history and always will be.
Mr. Tarkenton you made the world a better place. Your example made life better for more people than you know sir.
he was the greatest uncircumcised QB the Vikings ever had!
Viking fan since 70.Fran was Frantastic,
you hate that the Vikings have not been to a Super Bowl since Tark was their QB. Cunningham, Favre and Cousins failed!
Brings me to tears when football was football
this is why fran tarkenton is one of the greatest of all time. he takes the blame, he announces, he played, he does all this. for the fans. such a nice guy.

Back when football was football they were all heros of the game.
I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan since 1968 but I hope you change your mind about your parents
I can see why my dad is a die hard Vikings fan even though he grew up in Miami. These Vikings teams of the 60s and 70s had so much heart and soul.
Fran, you are the only sports figure I would ever want to meet. Thank you for the memories
I really respect Fran Tarkenton because when he retired owned every passing record...
And every rushing record for a QB!
❤️ Minnesota viking 1975
Fran tarkenton own the passing record books 📚 when he retired;; Joe Montana was almos unbeatable t in the playoffs in his prime
The mad scrambler is my hero
God bless you, Fran. I was there as a very young fellow in the 70's along with my Dad in Georgia pulling for you and the purple people eaters. Thank you and your team mates for giving it all. Those teams you played against in the Superbowls go down as being some of the greatest ones so you and your team mates can be proud of your accomplishments and the joy you gave a lot of Minnesota fans and fans from Georgia, too..... loved the Vikings and still do.

He’s not though
Fran Tarkenton. One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time! And one of the original scramblers. He would run back and forth and evade tacklers and then connect!
Great player!
All heart. A great competitor and a friend to all an to football

I have so much respect for that man and I have since I was eight years old I am now 57, absolute class act
#70 Jim Marshall belongs in the Hall of Fame....He was an IRON MAN and a great defensive end....Never Missed a Game
Odis Hutchinson 'yeah but he went the wrong way down one-way street', what are you a cop?! Maybe you should just write him a ticket; if that will make you feel better.?..

As of 2022, Moss is only Vike to go in HOF their 1st yr
Fran my man...i tried to play like you, hats off....

And let's not forget a darn good chiefs team and another ferocious team in the 1976 Raiders. Think about the Vikings Superbowl opponents....

They talk about some of these running qb’s like they’re “changing the game”. No, tarkenton and Staubach changed the game.
My childhood growing up in NJ. I absolutely loved you guys. Always will. Such special cherished memories.
The best chance he had at a Superbowl was in 1975.
That team was the best team he played on.
The Hail Mary did the Vikings in.
As an Alabama kid in the Early 70's I latched on to the Minnesota Vikings as My Favorite Team. In 1980 I was living in Bloomington Normal Illinois. I was a Normal Community Ironman Class of 1981. I saw the Kramer to Rashad pass against the Browns. I went Bonkers, THE VIKINGS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS !

My favorite all time QB. I emulated him as a youngster
How is Jim Marshall not in the hall yet?????
I love this guy. Great QB and great man.
Legend.
That was really heartwarming ❤️
Tarkington won’t give up on play ever.
Grant made the team stand at attention for national anthem.
Merlin Olson of the Rams didn’t like chasing him around the back field.
Yeah, Deacon Jones said they wanted to kill Fran for making them run around after him. LOL
That a football player. He dazzled us with his poise under pressure. He didn't dazzle us with his personal problems. And he played when hitting wasn't illegal.
Fran will always be the man, Johnny U fan.
Only Fran could handle what he went through.
As Vikings fan Pittsburgh Steelers fans are the classiest people, they win with class most teams and organizations. You can not say that
If yardage running sideways and backwards was an NFL stat, then Fran Tarkenton would be the undisputed leader at QB.
He was My Favorite QB growing up & His Purple #10 Jersey was the Only Football Jersey I Ever Owned & Started My Life Long Love of the Color Purple...
When He Retired I Stopped Watching Football & It wasn't Until Some Scrawny Kid Named Brady Won His 2nd Super Bowl That I Started Watching Again...
He created the mobile quarterback
RIP Bud!!!!

The best who ever done (did) it....
I was a cowboys fan in the 70's, but I liked Tarkenton better than Staubach.
37 years was too long
you knew my dad when he played in the NFL right?
And Jim Marshall STILL not in HOF......
I think Jerry Burns was the REAL creator of the "West Coast Offense" not Bill Walsh.
He had the Vikings throwing the ball to the running back out in the flat and off play action years before Walsh did it with the 49ers.
@usa91787, Walsh had his Bengals doing it before that (from 1970).

But, they let the Cowboys hang around and steal that game.
