Bud Grant - dead

That man was a stud. Remember him walking out for the coin toss couple years ago when it was below zero in a short sleeve shirt.
I'm so tired of hyperbole. Absolutely devastated? More like deeply saddened.
He was a great guy and a pretty darn good coach. I wish he could have gotten one
Was happy that the Vikings lost to my Raiders in SBXI. But yes, I wish Grant would have won one. Tarkington, Chuck Foreman, Mick Tingelhoff, Alan Paige, Carl Eller and the rest of the Purple People Eaters. What a time to be a Vikings fan. Not one of my teams, but they sure had some great squads back in the 70's. RIP Coach.
Wow I dont get the hand wringing in this instance about words. Someone lost their loved one today. RIP Coach.
Probably not, but I remember seeing him do an interview not long ago and he still had a voice that would command an NFL locker room. He was a "young 95".
I read some of his posts and frankly, he does pretty well for being an enormous douchebag. I would have him pegged as being more of an ill mannered dillweed.
People completely forget that not only was he a HOF coach, but he also played in the NFL and NBA.
Bud had an annual garage sale every year. I wish I could have bought some of his old stuff.
The Lebatard show would interview him every year during his garage sale - hilarious stuff
Not only a great coach, but an outstanding college athlete. He lettered 3 years in 3 different sports at the University of Minnesota. 9 varsity letters while in college, pretty impressive.
As a Rams fan starting from the sixties, I always knew my Rams would have their hands full playing against Bud's Vikings. I really expected one of Bud's team's to win a Super Bowl and I surprised they never did, great coach, great teams and great heart. Boy, I'm getting old but with age comes fond memories of the giants of the sporting world. R.I.P. Bud, well done.
