Listen to Tarkenton's interview about his life changing visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his special moment with his former center and Class of 2015 member Mick Tingelhoff and about his inspirational book.
For the ball players getting inducted, their family's and friends it's an emotional time. During the speech most everyone breaks down a bit. But this one with Tarkenton and Tinglehoff, was totally different . Being that it was so long since he played, safe to say he was probably the least popular one there , but I dare say the HOF's ceremonies have never seen a moment so profound, so intense and riveting, something that just blindsided everyone.............it was by far THEE moment of the day. I followed the Vikings back then and felt very proud, but I really can't believe Bud Grant and Joe Greene and so many others just lost it......I don't feel so wimpy now 6:53
There is a certain existential philosophy in Fran Tarkenton's message.
I was there in 1986!
