<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Combining career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles, veteran sportswriter Chris Tomasson imagines an embarrassment of riches and sets the all-time All-Star Minnesota Vikings lineup for the ages.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Let's say you're the coach of the Minnesota Vikings, deciding which players should start in a Super Bowl matchup against the toughest team in the AFC. But instead of choosing from the current roster, you have every player in the team's 60-year history in your locker room. Who starts at quarterback: scrambling Fran Tarkenton, gunslinger Daunte Culpepper, or deadly accurate Kirk Cousins? At defensive end, do you play fearsome Carl Eller, fan favorite Jared Allen, sack specialist Chris Doleman, or stalwart Jim Marshall? Combining career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles, veteran sportswriter Chris Tomasson imagines an embarrassment of riches and sets the all-time All-Star Vikings lineup for the ages.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Minnesota Vikings have a colorful and fascinating history full of interesting players and coaches and I was privileged to work for such an iconic franchise for 23 years.
