- The 1990s Minnesota Vikings were like a fireworks display gone wrong in all the right ways. They smoked, popped, and fizzled out. And just as you thought you had a dud on your hands, they set off every car alarm on the block, exploding into a team the likes of which the sport of football has never seen before or since.

Known goofs:
• Around the 14-minute mark, Warren Sapp, a defensive tackle, should be in purple.
• Around 28.5 minutes in, the book was published in the middle of the 1997 season.
• Around 56 and 59.5 minutes in, Alex, who does not subscribe to the societal emphasis on round numbers/putting numbers that happen to end in zero on a pedestal, has a couple charts where the dataset reprents touchdowns of more than 40 yards -- aka 41+ yards rather than the slightly more inclusive 40+.

Finally, the 90s. The Cowboys and Falcons can't hurt us here
Wow what a silly mistake to throw across your body over the middle in a playoff game. I’m sure the Vikings will make sure that doesn’t happen again

I propose we call the 98 NFC championship game “The Dorktown Bowl”
Love the "that's Scorigami!" on the "Revenge of Moss" game in 1998. It's always nice to see a Scorigami.
D - Demonstrate Value
The fact they played the EXACT same song from the Falcons documentary leading up to the Gary Anderson missed kick is just so perfect yet so painful at the same time!
Not even a Vikings fan but that recap of the 1998 NFC title game was so painful despite knowing the outcome in advance
my dad and John Randle are buddies, and they often smoke cigars together at a local Minnesota spot. My favorite anecdote so far is that after the draft this year, Randle and my dad were smoking when someone comes up and asks him "Hey John, what'd you think of the draft this year?"
After watching the Falcons series so many times this is going to be like watching a movie in the villains perspective.
Can’t wait for them to talk about Gary Andersen’s legendary 1998 season and how it definitely ended with him kicking the Vikings to a Super Bowl!
Everyone is using dark humor and sarcasm as coping mechanisms. And here I sit just excited to see John Randle again.
I don't think it's gonna be brought up in the video, but one of the craziest things of the 1990s for the Vikings, by far, was when they signed a kicker during the 1990 preseason, and never revealed who his name was. Seriously. General manager Mike Lynn said that he was a mystery, no one knew his name, and he was listed on the depth chart as Rich Karlis (as in, the usual kicker who was holding out). Gonna be tough to top that.
As angry as Alex Rubenstein is even capable of getting angry, i love how angry he gets about the end of the 98 NFC Championship game

"The Atlanta Falcons are known for jokes, cruel jokes. This is all they are ever good for." Couldn't have been more accurate
As an Aussie, hearing the Wide World of Sports cricket theme accompanying 1998 Randy Moss was surreal
I swear, as a 6 year old Bears fan, i cannot believe Cunningham's heyday as a Viking was only 1 season. He seems so much larger and like he kicked the ass of my team as a superhuman star for longer then that. Time really is a lot slower when you are a young kid.
I know exactly how it ends (painfully), but every time I watch something on the 98 team, I just think "Maybe this time will be different."
Aww, thanks Jon. I wouldn't have ever had the big nuts to say "who needs a super bowl, we did something more special that year" lol I'll roll with that from now on
