#29 Karl Kassulke played safety for the Minnesota Vikings from 1963 through 1972. Karl was a hitter. The first photo is Karl in Super Bowl IV against KC Chiefs tackling running back Mike Garrett. The second photo is at the Vikings Colts Monday night game in 1971. If you get the chance, YouTube the November 15, 1970 game or highlights between the Vikings and the Detroit Lions. He destroyed Lions QB Greg Landry on a safety blitz. Laid him out. It looked like Landry had been shot. Karl was in a motorcycle accident the day before training camp started in 1973 which paralyzed him and ended his career. The 4th photo is Karl in a wheelchair at the Chicago Bears game in 1973 in which the Vikings honored Karl. Former Viking QB Joe Kapp is standing beside Karl as he speaks into a mic in the last photo. Karl passed away in 2008.

4:28pm and I am in Minnesota

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Vikings Coach Bud Grant. I loved those old "Pro" game day programs. Plus they made a really good season review/preview that could be bought at the newsstands.

Viking running back Chuck Foreman.

#20 Viking Cornerback Bobby Bryant intercepting a pass late in the 4th quarter of the 1976 NFC championship game against the LA Rams. The receiver for the Rams was Ron Jessie. #43 Viking cornerback Nate Wright is watching. Rams QB Pat Hayden threw the pass. Bobby Bryant left his coverage and ran to the middle of the field to intercept the pass. Jessie had beaten Nate Wright so Bryant really saved the day. The Vikings were ahead 17-13 when Bryant made the interception and won the game 24-13.

Minnesota Viking quarterback #10 Fran Tarkenton. The game is at Metropolitan Stadium. I am going to guess the season is 1973. Once in awhile, the Vikings home jerseys did not have the gold and white stripes on the sleeves that season.
