Vikings pushing Lesnar merchandise

Recommended Posts

I'd buy it if it was any other number than 69.

 

I've seen too many girls wearing faux-jerseys with that number on it. Skanks.

If he was a Cincinnati Bengal I'd get one, and if it was any number but 69. Sounds too jokey for perverts. Plus I'm not a fan of the color purple...and I don't mean the movie obviously.

His number is 69?

 

Still trying to buck that whole gay thing.

Yes because gay people don't 69.....

That's kind of my point.

 

He can probably do a lot of other things to solidify his status as a homophobe than use the number 69 on his jersey.

Yeah... plus he's a DT (or DE -- I forget) and the usual numbers for them are 90s.

The nineties were all taken:

 

90 - Steve Martin

91 - Grant Wiley

92 - Mewelde Moore

93 - Kevin Williams

94 - Chris Wiley

95 - Kenechi Udeze

96 - Billy Lyon

97 - Rod Davis

98 - Darrion Scott

99 - Chris Hovan

 

The third-string defensive tackles are coincidentally Spencer Johnson (64) and Lesnar.

I just MIGHT look at getting the away jersey (that's the one with predominant white, correct?).

 

I'm not sure yet.

 

I wouldn't wear it obviously, but would pick it up as a keepsake.

I would consider getting it, just to add to my Vikings jersey collection

Hey correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Vince supposedly interested in buying the Vikings in '98?

 

Anyway good to see the Vikings aren't interested in publicity stunts................

Don't know if this is true as a friend just IMed me it. I'll post it here for now.

 

Brock Lesnar, a 26-year-old pro wrestler who is trying to win a job at defensive tackle with the Vikings, should have known his teammates were playing for real when they approached him on the last day of camp. He was in for some rookie hazing. "When all the guys were hanging around, I kind of caught onto it" Lesnar said. Lesnar tried to run, but he was caught and tackled. His ankles were taped together. Randy Moss dumped water on him. Guard Chris Liwienski sat on his stomach. Kelly Campbell, a 170-pound receiver, jumped on Lesnar, who is 290 pounds, and counted to three as he pretended to pin him. Lesnar took it in good humor. "I knew it was coming one of these days," he said...

This is a true story, as verified by Meltzer.

Which is why I didn't think it deserved it's own thread, but it is kinda funny.

I'll bet Chris NOWINSKI wishes he could have gotten to do that.

 

And yes I know it was Kelly Campbell who made the 'pin'.

Pretty much what I was thinking, as well.

 

Fitting, since that's pretty much what I've thought of just about every ShopZone shirt I've liked ("oh gee how nice, if only it didn't have sexual innuendo printed on it.")
