Mid-day commenter draft: recount!
Posted on November 5th, 2008 – 11:45 AMBy Michael Rand
As in, we’d like you to “recount” the things that Minnesota athletes, past and present, have infamously done to drive fans crazy (a la Jacque Jones swinging at 0-2 pitches in the dirt and Nick Punto’s head-first dives into first). Those two are off the board. The rest is up to you!

My personal favorite being when he ran into a receiver really hard, didn’t wrap him up, and celebrated like he was the best LB ever…all the while the receiver wasn’t down and he ran for 20 more yards or something.
I actually think that is right up there with Leon Lett in terms of idiotic defensive celebrations.
