The Minnesota Vikings week started out very interesting as
early Monday morning the Vikings cut longest tenure player on the roster,
Cullen Loeffler.
If I could personally I would love to thank him for being who
he was, a great guy with a great personality.
I saw him at Training Camp every year he was employed by the
Vikings and from my own personal experience saw his smile and just seemingly good
mood. Fans would always yell for Cullen like every other player but this man
most of if not always would look at the crowd smile and just acknowledge fans.
I will remember his hook em horns he would hold up at times which is the
gesture University of Texas fan and players are known to do.
I loved his southern accent and just his happy go lucky
outward appearance. It was a guy you just want to pull for in life.
Cullen came to the NFL the hard way making the tem as a
rookie free agent back in 2004. The man had 11 years which up until Monday made
him the longest tenured Viking on the roster.
Loeffler played in 155 games which is number one all time for
a Viking long snapper with Mike Morris coming in second with 144 games. He also
in the 11 year career only missed 5 games total.
Cullen also is in the Vikings record book as he was the long
snapper for 10 of the 11 longest field goals in team history.
I don’t know what the future hold for him but I hope an NFL
team does pick him up and I would love to see him after his NFL career is over
maybe do some talk radio with his great personality that would make him so fun
to listen to.
Monday also gave more news as Las Vegas released the updated
odds to win the Super Bowl. The Vikings fan I am can’t help but not like the
number one team to win the Super Bowl and that is the Green Bay Packers.
Minnesota Vikings come in tied for 10th with 35/1 odds with Kansas
City and Miami. The Lions come in 20th with 60/1 odds and Chicago is
way at the bottom tied at 26th with the New York Jets with a 100/1
odds.
That’s all for now and Thanks for reading
