who is this "new" @Morlee guy...?

me suspects he's been here before....

Do I sound like someone else? ;)   I actually lurk here alot but I’ve not been active on a football forum in years. 
 

Name: Joshua
 

Age: 34
 

Family: Mother and Father (passed in August) and 2 siblings, and a girlfriend of 5 years, just about. 

State you were born in/state you live in now:  Virginia
 

Occupation or area of study: Security/Writer

Interests besides football: Comics/Books/Video Games/Working Out. Other sports interests include Basketball, World Cup and older professional wrestling. 
 

Favorite current Vike player: Adam Thielen was for a while, but currently I’ve grown to be a big fan of Cam Bynum and Patrick Jones also. 
 

Favorite all-time Vike: Randy Moss is the only answer, right? I still have Adrian Peterson pretty high up there. He brought the same excitement if not more so, with his running style. 
 

How many Viking games have you attended: only 1.  In 2018, I went to the Lions Vs Vikings, the game where the Vikings ran back a fumble for a TD and also had more sacks than Lions had points.  They won 20-9 I believe. It was pretty fun. 

What one current player from any team would you like on the Vikings right now: Aaron Donald most likely. Or Kenny Moore II. 
 


What one player from all time from any team would you like on the team right now: This is tough. May be a bit biased here, but I believe my dad and I had the same favorite player. I’d like to place a prime Dan Marino (1989 or so) on this team.  If not him, then probably my second favorite QB - Kurt Warner, would work just fine.

Welcome Corey!  Glad to meet you!  I am 60 miles from DC, living in Winchester, VA.  Hope you are "enjoying" the snow?

A little taste of home and a snow day! First time seeing snow since I moved here about a year and a half ago. Can't say I missed it too much.

(1) You'd be surprised, young man, that others on this forum might choose  Joe Kapp, Bill Brown, Fran Tarkington, Alan Page, Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, John Gilliam or even Wally Hilgenberg! 

(2) I'd like The K.C. Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes added to The current Vikings.  But I'll settle for LSU's Jaden Daniels.  😎

Yeah, I was already 25 during Moss' rookie year, so he definitely isn't the only answer.  🤣  Although my favorite Viking is his contemporary, John Randle.  Still my favorite player to ever have watched.  Those that aren't old enough to have watched him missed out.

You should check out the fun games we play on this forum. The 5k game is the best. 

Not that I'm biased or anything 😉
