Featured Columns by Yvonne Graf Long time Viking fan, not just this year. Can’t stand “bandwagoners”, although if the team sucks, it sucks and I’m not afraid to say so. My favorite “old time” Viking is Benchwarmer Bob Lurtsema, and my favorite “new Viking” is Jared “don’t make fun of the mullet” Allen. I do bleed purple but I also have a big interest in other teams and try to keep up with them when the purple and gold glasses come off.
