How Do We Get #84 Retired?
I'm going to start making T-Shirts and selling them when tailgating. Are there any other good ideas? I've reached out to numerous journalists on Twitter, and I've only been able to have a discussion with Doogie. He said the Vikings are done retiring numbers... I don't think he knows for sure though.
WHY THE FUCK IS #84 NOT RETIRED!!!????

Yeah................maybe if Moss would apologize to the giant money man he pissed off?
I say we retire 28 and give 28 million to abused children.

Can't keep retiring numbers. It was kind of a stupid concept to begin with because after a while you're going to run out of numbers. Do we want football players in the 100s someday?
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

Look, I love the guy and as a player he is probably 2nd to Randle as an all time talent. But let's face it. He pissed off a lot of money on his way out. He is by all accounts a great guy now. Does a lot of stuff for kids on his own dime. But ...............money. Until that old money dies or he goes the mile to make it right it's not going to be a priority for the team. We win the superbowl this year it happens immediately. Short of that it's him making it right or it doesn't happen. But do you really think Moss cares? Moss 100% knows he's the best WR that ever played. Everyone knows it. Everyone. He goes to the hall of fame with 100% as a Viking.
Wilf's didn't have him but I'd bet a bunch he ends up wit a job with this team eventually.

Re: How Do We Get #84 Retired?
No one should ever have 93 or 84 if you go by just freaky talent. No one ever won a superbowl so I don't see why any number would be retired. Ring of honor numbers is different. But you just don't give 93 or 10 or 84 to some scrub. Make it an extra obligation. Motherfucker you wear 84. We gonna need more from you! Let's see it! Then bring Moss in to practice to say "hey 84. What's up."Night Train wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:18 am Can't keep retiring numbers. It was kind of a stupid concept to begin with because after a while you're going to run out of numbers.

Re: How Do We Get #84 Retired?
It's not an excuse, it's a fact of life. Sure, Moss was great, so were a lot of other great Vikings that never got us a championship... gonna retire them all?

Re: How Do We Get #84 Retired?
Randy is arguably the best WR ever. His number needs to be retired. There were a ton of great players for the Vikes, but Randy is Minnesota. If CC's #80 is retired, #84 should be right next to it. Everyone wants this.Night Train wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 12:02 pmIt's not an excuse, it's a fact of life.

Re: How Do We Get #84 Retired?
I love Moss as much as the next guy, but his best year was with another team. He represents an era in MN, but he's not MN. No numbers should be retired. Ring of fame and NFL HOF should be enough.
