I mean over 1/2 of any team is a vet, so why intro this guy that way every time. Listen. Every announcer does. Sorta weird. What about “The Veteran” Darren Sharper.

I mean, I realize the liklihood of winning at that point was slim, but punting? Hell, the Cardinals were still throwing for the end zone with 30 seconds left and down by a bunch. And Anquan Boldin would like to thank them for that. No mention of Childress conceding with two minutes left? I mean, I realize the liklihood of winning at that point was slim, but punting?

I believe I'd go with Brian Davis, the white cornerback from the mid-90s. He was once blocking for a punt return in overtime and the ball hit him right in the back. The other team recovered and immediately kicked a FG for the win. I'm about 90% sure this actually happened. Davis < Anderson. Alfred Anderson as your most hated Viking?

Now, that I got that off my chest, let me also complain that only a Viking fan would say that "the AD and Tahi fumbles, were freaky plays"...Duh, here I grew up believing that if I or any of my Packer heroes let the rock go, it was (how should I put it) a ...fumble...nothing freaky...just a fumble. So what's this "freakiness" all about? Must all Viking fans starved for a victory make up excuses for their heroes. This A.D. guy, for example, is very good, so I've heard, but he's also paid very well, and simply fumbled. No sin. Freakiness is reserved for those who put horns on their heads and lather the lipstick on their wives. Now, that's freaky..
