The Missing Rings - The 1998 Vikings (Part 2 of 5)

[paul353]

is that tony soprano doing the narration?

[felixfreak]

fuck Favre! xD

[Jermboy11]

@felixfreak YEAH!

[GarrisonHat]

The Week 2 highlights left out Tony Banks denied on the last play of the game. Oh well, the Rams didn't miss him

[VirgoGal74]

I love Randle's comments around 3:50 - sort of reminds me of how much the media hypes and slurps Tom Brady these days. Pretty nauseating. At least Favre was never accused of cheating/spying!!

[tng150]

@VirgoGal74 Favre never answered his critics by having a 17 win season and breaking the record of touchdown passes in a single season, after being accused of cheating. These spy gate arguments aren't working.

[fatmanfiftythousand]

@tng150 And what happened in that season? Did Brady win the Super Bowl?

[VirgoGal74]

@fatmanfiftythousand Thank you for defending my point!

[VirgoGal74]

@tng150 @tng150 Uh dude - do me a favor and Google this: "Don't believe the myth of Brady and Belichick" and you'll find a great Minneapolis Star Tribune article. And NE just lost another SB. Enough said.

[VirgoGal74]

@tng150 Dude do me a favor and Google a great Minneapolis Star Tribune article from last weekend "Don't believe the myth of Brady and Belichick." Oh yeah and didn't NE just lose their second SB since the Spygate scandal broke????

[tng150]

@VirgoGal74 And what team are you a fan of?

[Delanie34]

If Moss would have had half the heart of Carter he would easily be labeled the best reciever of all time.

[markfundingsland]

Tell it like it is BIG DOG!!

[jcdoll07]

John Randle is freaking hysterical

[DjSmotpoker]

randy moss 1998-2003 = greatest receiver of all time

nuff said

[TheDkark]

I truely cry evertime i see highlights from this season.... :( the biggest disappointment in Minnesota Viking's History

[travis264]

Fuck Farve lol. 10 years later he joined the vikings

[APviKINGsz28]

vikings moss > pats moss

[cwille971234]

moss makes it look too easy

[TheRabidMoths]

Used to think the Buccaneers were cheating when they put Mike Alstott in.

[quincee33]

As an Eagles fan it hurts me to see Cunningham and cris Carter together as vikings! but does anyone throw a more pretty long ball than Randall cunningham? no way, not even sonny Jurgenson......too bad the Vikings defense was mediocre.

[quincee33]

was tony dungy the defensive coordinator of the Vikes in 98?

[job1785]

@quincee33 No he was the head coach of the buccaneers

[quincee33]

@job1785 ya i found that out watchinga nother vid, but thanks for replying....didn't the Vikings lose 49 - 0 against the Giants in 2000 NFC Championship game?

[job1785]

@quincee33 yes but the score was 41-0.

[quincee33]

@job1785 okay thanks.

[RDarth]

Can't stand the Vikings(hate the Bears more), but much respect for that MNF game. You flat out came in and whooped our asses. I'll never forget it. The Lambeau winning streak ended.

[job1785]

Really Carter? Better than Darrell Green.

[petion2010]

What was the music in the background during the Viking vs Packers game, from 4:06 to 5: 53. It sounded epic

[mesmursur]

Fuk that Green Bay game... I was on a business trip in Anaheim, got to watch that in front of a butt-load of Packer fans... unbelievable... Cunningham was like an old grandfather clock... he'd just wind up and wail it downfield... was going to happen... you couldn't stop it.

[APviKINGsz28]

Skol till I die - hopefully I see us get a ring before then.

[djsammyc]

That Monday night game in Green Bay is what made me bleed purple. Growing up in St. Paul, I cared very little for football in general before that night. I was 19 attending college in River Falls WI. My friends made me choose a side, and I've been enamored with the Vikings, despite all of the heartache, ever since.

[dmoor21]

I'm a Falcons fan, and was in pure ecstasy when we knocked off the Vikings! It was one of the greatest upsets in NFL history! However, I will acknowledge that if we played this Vikings team 5 times, we would lose 4 out of 5. On that day, was the 1 time we were able to pull it off. This was an incredible team!! The 1968 Colts, 1998 Vikings, and the 2007 Patriots are the greatest teams to never win a Super Bowl.

[JoeMontana49ers8190]

@dmoor21 yeah, the falcons had a great team in 1998. But being born n raised in Minnesota, i was really upset when the Vikes lost it at the end here. Oh well, The falcons were just the better team that day.

They just outplayed the Vikings no way around it.

[symbiotespidey300]

It's just amazing how randall cunningham just throws the ball with no effort at all!!

[zepps88]

John Randle has so much character. what a great guy

[uk6strings]

Randall: "F!CK FAVRE!" lol My sentiments exactly - yes, even though he's on the team now, Favre's not a Viking in my eyes, never has been.

[digitalmonster7]

buccaneers 7 VIKINGS 31

[DAZing23]

Anyone know the name of the music?

[DollaDee08]

Randy Moss is a BEAST

[thejonhendricks]

442 yards, the most ever allowed in packers history

[halodystroyer44]

nobody can predict that

[TheEntertainmentonly]

I'm happy that the Vikings didn't play my 49ers that year!!! We'd got got asses handed to us!!!

[samusaran11]

Hey Just think in 10-11 years of this Favre would be on the vikes. And the vikes had another Missing Rings.

[TheEntertainmentonly]

@samusaran11 No. They were overrated!!! Even if they got their, they would've got smack ^ by the Colts!!!

[ToaTakila1]

I badly want Moss to get a superbowl. Go Patriots!

[patriotsmakemesick]

@ToaTakila1 boo

[mesmursur]

That game in '98 at Lambeau -- which I got to watch in the presence of a bunch of Packer fans -- is maybe the greatest Viking win ever.

[mesmursur]

He's just up in Lambeau Field with a bunch and cheese and sh*t.

I luv John Randle!

[halodystroyer44]

no americas game: the super bowl champions. the story of the 2010 vikings.

[tkodawg1]

@halodystroyer44 no cigar

[TheEntertainmentonly]

I keep on forgetting that this team didn't win the Super Bowl in 1998!!!

[ialrai]

The Missing rings: 2010 Vikings Coming soon lol

[DrPepperBeatsCoke]

You just got Moss'd

[halodystroyer44]

youd think with how many playoff berths the franchise has, theyd have a super bowl just by dumb luck somewhere......

[Coganboy]

To this day, I can't believe they lost to Atlanta. That team was going to win the Super Bowl, and they just came up 3 points short.

[mesmursur]

Two things really stand out about these videos. One is Denny's false "No Time for Crybabies" bravado. For all his talk, he just wasn't meant to coach at that level. Everyone talks about The Knee for good reason, but really, Green went into the Full Schottenheimer from the time Cunningham lost the fumble in the second quarter (that play should have made this vid). The other thing about these vids is John Randle's commentary -- especially the diatribe about Favre. Completely awesome!

[Rucks90]

i'm from Georgia but, Dang man . . . . . . If they beated the Falcons, THEY WOULD DEFINITELY BEAT DENVER!

[shmauteguy]

Randy saying hes gonna rip up the league. SOOOOOO Badass

[Gwitfu90]

"He just up in Lambeau Field with a bunch of cheese and stuff. Don't mean (bleep)." Man, I can't wait for Randle's enshrinement speech.

[halodystroyer44]

@Gwitfu90 me either

[oblivionfan12345]

Jackson does not deserve to wear number 7

[BarackSays]

@oblivionfan12345 I thought the same thing when he first came here!!

[Gwitfu90]

Cunningham could be on the missing rings with the 1988 Eagles. They lost because of the fog in Chicago.

[shouavaj12]

Cunningham should be in the HOF

[psufan001]

there were a lot of differences between his stints with the eagles and the vikings.

[ArthVaduh]

05 Seahawks need one

[JGibbsIsGod]

1983 Skins need one

[psufan001]

that was the one thing that the vikings did with randall cunningham. they made him a pocket quarterback and that was the reason why the offense had a lot of success in the passing game. he was phenomenal with philly, but he ran way to much with the birds. buddy ryan relied to much on randall, that was where he would eventually tire out, and that was why the eagles always made the playoffs and lost. it was a different system with minnesota.

[landinmycourt]

@psufan001 Not to mention Randall had a 1,000 yard back in Robert Smith. I doubt he ever had a back of that caliber in Philly. He had a better defense but he wasn't good enough to carry the offense when it mattered.

[ZhangtheGreat]

@landinmycourt, in the end, Randall just never had proper coaching when he was in Philly. Buddy Ryan never developed him into a passing QB. I mean, what kind of coach tells his QB to read his first option and take off if nothing's there? Cunningham had the strongest arm in the league bar none for YEARS...imagine what he could've done if he had the same kind of coaching he had in 1998.

[landinmycourt]

@ZhangtheGreat Actually in 1990 he threw 30 TD's which was tops in the NFC. But in the playoffs he couldn't get his team in the endzone against The Redskins and was replaced by Jim McMahon. Plus guys like Reggie White and Seth Joyner said that he lacked leadership skills.

[Odawg96]

@psufan001 True...but this was also an OLDER Cunningham, too. It wasn't that the Vikings MADE him a pocket-Qb; it was more about his evolution. He couldn't do at 35 what he did at 25.

[psufan001]

gotta love john randle!!! btw how bout the 1984 dolphins and the 1979 bucs for the missing rings?

[kperry1969]

1994 Cowboys missing rings would be the greatest

[ZhangtheGreat]

@kperry1969, NFL Films is not going to do Missing Rings episodes for teams that won a Super Bowl, so never mind a team that won three in a decade.

[dh234]

they gotta let moss comment on a 2007 patriots missing rings

[dh234]

I think they should make a missing rings for the 2007 patriots with Moss, brady, and welker commenting (bill wouldnt do it)

[youngrizzle2003]

regulators mount up were comin

[BarackSays]

"Just a magnificent performance by this Minnesota offensive machine"

[stephen121000]

he just up in lambeau field with a bunch of cheese and stuf dont mean shit lol funny

[stephen121000]

oh really? fuck farve that fucker come in here and whoop our ass lol john randel is funny as hell

[199019852007]

love the bit abouy brett favre and the dailama comprasion

[excel621]

"Wreck this whole league"

[JayM1646]

"Damn we gotta back out their already"

HAHAHAHAHAHa

john randel cracks me up

[bost88]

V I K E S til the day i D I E John Randell is the man SKOL

[TBlake34]

When Randy Moss is locked in and giving effort there's only one other receiver in history in his league, Rice, and Moss is by far the superior athlete.

If he had Rice's professionalism he would have shattered every record and would be in the discussion for best football player ever.

[Craigipedia]

@TBlake34

if he only had the professionalism of young T.O. he'd have already broken Rice's records... he wouldn't even need Rice's effort. T.O is Randy's statistical equal and he's done it with WAY less physically

[excel621]

Love the MNF messing their pants over Randy.

Al Michaels: "Touchdown-HE IS"

Deidorf: "Haha!"

Al Michaels: "UN-STOPPABLE!"

Deidorf: "Oh man!"

[KWCline91]

I wonder how Randle feels now that Favre's on the Vikings

[halodystroyer44]

i wonder how randle would feel if favre wins the superbowl, something he couldn't do for them

[halodystroyer44]

as a viking of course

[jnh56]

I bet he is pissed!!!! PFFFFFFFT get a life.

[bodomx61x]

@KWCline91 hes probably happy they lost lol

[KWCline91]

I bet your right

[DAZing23]

Great music.

[600430]

John Randle: "A bunch of Cheese!" 4:02 LMAO!!

[excel621]

cris carter is great; love his insight.

"Randalls ther only guy who can get the ball to Randy"

"I was telling him privately......he was the best Id ever seen!"

[xXbox360Fanatic95Xx]

dont blame no kicker they didnt play we thought we had that game then we lost by a FUCKING FIELD GOAL THATS BS

[excel621]

RANDDDDDDDY MOSS!

[jimmymallet55]

very cool video NFL = greatest sport promotion ever

[itsjohnny15]

there should b an entire season of missing rings about the eagles cause there a bunch of losers who choke every big game away

[jambler15]

correction: the eagles choke in championship games...not EVERY big game....remember u still have to win a lot of big games to get to that level.

[rjfred12]

haha "Oh really? F**K Favre!"

LMAO

[HFsX]

he just up in lambeau with a bunch of cheese and stuff lol

[yugiohtrader909]

2:45 horrible defense no where near Moss or the ball.

[MrRavens4ever]

john randle HOFer 2010 class

[NUMBERONETHEGREAT]

these guys are ettr choke artists the Latrell Sprewell

[amensupremera]

Moss has been on two of the greatest teams that never won a super bowl

[yugiohtrader909]

I know so sad...

[blaq7427]

minnesota wasnt great they just had great offense but there defense was a joke thats why they lost to atlanta

[Herv3]

They lost because their field goal kicker blew it. But I still kind of agree. I don't think they would of beaten the Broncos. I think it would of made for a more interesting Superbowl though.

[holtzpackerfan]

@amensupremera he's only been on one team that has'nt one a superbowl, and that's the Vikings. of course everybody know the Patriots have one quite a few superbowl's. the Raiders beat the Vikings in the superbowl in 76,

[amensupremera]

@holtzpackerfan wow, I guess you schooled me. I shouldn't have to explain this but obviously I was talking about the year he was on the roster ('98 Vikings & the perfect all season but lost the Super Bowl 18-1 '07 Patriots) not the franchises as a whole. No player brags about playing for a team that won super bowls when they weren't there. For christ sake the documentary is called "missing rings"

[vfgjhj]

Randy Moss=magic

[cavycody]

wow there is to many things similar to 2009 season - 98 its crazy hope it ends better

[Holomatchi]

yeah i know!! but this year it will end better!

[pitbullsilverado]

Soon they will make another episode:

Missing Rings Philadelphia Eagles

[MrFtoro490]

r u sure?

[jambler15]

yea they really should theyve been close so many times. theyd prolly do the 2002 eagles but as an eagle fan i dont know if id be able to watch...

[blaq7427]

u cant make a missing rings episode for the eagles . this series is for teams favored to win a super bowl but were unable to . The eagles were never favored to win a super bowl

[jambler15]

dude they already made missing rings for teams that didnt make the superbowl....the eagles were favored in 3 of their 4 championship losses....thats definitly criteria for an episode or two HAHAA

[blaq7427]

who said anything about getting to a super bowl ? i said "favored" to win a super bowl. the eagles were never favored to win a super bowl in this era

[MrStoopidfilms]

i heard that Larry F. was a ball boy for the vikings back in those days and also heard that moss mentored him its pretty cool to say that the best receiver in the NFL is from my state!

[awink122]

yeah he was a ballboy back in those days, he played high school ball in the cities for like a year, then moved to some military academy somewhere else because the team he was playing for here was no good.

[blaq7427]

andre johnson is from ur state ? Thats nice

[MrStoopidfilms]

wow. nice one

[dvpap]

Its weird seeing favre on the vikings now lol but at least we are playing well Go VIKESS

[JCeiver612]

John Randle was the MAN

[jambler15]

love the music starting at 4:05 during the monday night game. I wish more NFL films music was available online.

[BarackSays]

Cunningham/Moss/Carter look fucking badass walking to the sideline at 5:40

[vfgjhj]

What an entertaining offense.
