  1. I think the Vikings should fire Mike Zimmer.
    (What went into that decision?)
    Did you watch the Bills game?
    (Was it an easy decision?)
    Yeah, it was pretty easy decision.

  2. I love how Mike Zimmer is the most honest coach in the NFL these days. Coach will just tell it how it is… “He has a tendency to coast” or “Petrino is a coward” haha

  3. I still can’t believe how great of a 2017 season the Vikings had. Unreal to do that with injured QB’s and all. The Minnesota Miracle will always hold a dear spot in my heart. Thank you Coach Zimmer!
