AlabamaViking meets All-Pro Matt Blair!

I had the distinct pleasure and honor to meet All-Pro Matt Blair this past week in Alabama. I had found out he was going to be here with a friend of his playing some golf and I contacted him. Thinking I may not get a response I had forgotten about it, until my email box proved me wrong and there was a retutn email from him letting me know we could meet up afterwards.
He ended up signing about 5 cards for me and his book, "To Be a Viking".
Great guy to meet and was all you could hope for as a Vikings alumni. He even had on his 1973 NFC Championship ring.
I will post a picture of Matt and I when I update my "Norseman Blitz" blog area.
Until next time...

Congrats AV, sounds like fun. Are you trying to give Turboe (Hamper Hider) a run for his money?

That would be great!

That sound freckin awesome! I wish I had a chance to meet him somewhere. Especially on a golf course. I have taken up a new interest in golf, since everyoine plays it when they're older, why not start at 14?

BTW, that was my 900th post!
