Since the season of Super Bowl IV, I’ve been a fan of the Minnesota Vikings. Those Vikings included Joe Kapp, Alan Page and Carl Eller, a great group that was the first of four teams that Bud Grant led to the championship game.
I picked the Vikings as my favorite team because real Vikings had horns on their helmets. Not a bad choice for a little boy, analytical, engineer-like.
Anyway, while doing some web browsing, ran across the name Otis Taylor. Bad memories arose, Otis breaking free of Ed Sharockman, sealing the low scoring championship game. Damn.
Otis was a really good wide receiver, big, very big for the day, and fast.. He played for over a decade, only for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Otis passed away last March, he was 80 years old
