MINNEAPOLIS — We are talking drama at the moment of occurrence, and in that category, the ability of the Vikings to hire Jim Harbaugh as their new coach would be No. 2 all time with this franchise.
The events of Aug. 18, 2009, when Brett Favre, the quarterback rival for the ages, arrived at the downtown St. Paul airport and was followed by helicopters to Winter Park in Eden Prairie … that will never be topped for instant Purple hysteria.
Again, we're not discussing wins here, we're not rating Sunday victories that sent the Vikings to Super Bowls, or a "Minneapolis Miracle,'' or the drafting of Randy Moss.
