Asked by Wiki User

NFL players aren't paid like the rest of us. Whatever our salary is gets spread out over a 52-week year, usually with a paycheck every two weeks. NFL players get paid per game, with their last game check coming two weeks after the season ends.

How many Super Bowls have the Minnesota Vikings played in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Minnesota has been in four Super Bowls. Their first was Super Bowl IV against Kansas City Chiefs (L 23-7), then Super Bowl VIII against the Miami Dolphins (L 24-7). They played the Pittsburgh Steelers in SB IX (L 16-6), and finally against the Oakland Raiders in SB XI and lost 32-14. The year in between SB's IX and XI (1975), Minnesota lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the infamous "Hail Mary" game. Chances are the had the Vikings won that game they would have been the first team to go to 4 straight SB's, a feat later achieved by the Buffalo Bills, who ironically, are 0-4 as well. What most people do not know is that Fran Tarkenton was the QB in 3 of those SB's not all four. The starting QB for Minnesota in SB IV against KC was Joe Kapp.

Who hit the first home run in the Metrodome?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first baseball game in the Metrodome was an exhibition game, played April 3, 1982, between the Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies. Kent Hrbek of the Twins hit the first home run in that game and, therefore, the first home run in Metrodome history. The first regular season baseball game played in the Metrodome was April 6, 1982 between the Twins and Seattle Mariners. The first home run hit in that game was by Dave Engle of the Twins and, therefore, is the first home run hit in a regular season game in Metrodome history.

Why is the Minnesota Vikings' mascot a viking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Minnesota has been known as the Gopher State since 1857. The first University of Minnesota yearbook, published in 1887 was called the Gopher Annual. The first time the University's sports team was called the Golden Gophers was in 1934, because of their all-gold uniforms. The Gopher mascot was born in 1952 when Jerome Glass, assistant bandmaster, gought a fuzzy wool suit and coerced Jim Anderson, a junior, to put it on. Anderson joked by telling the press,

They took the guy who couldn't march or play and put him where he wouldn't do any harm.

TRIVIA NOTE: Bernie Bierman, the first University of Minnesota football coach, chose gold for a uniform color, because it was more difficult for the opposing team to see the football being held by someone in a gold uniform.
