Review: 5-Stars all the Way! - Ready...set...hut!: Rather than get a cumbersome book about the Minnesota Vikings, I bought this 2-DVD set and I am thrilled with the product! The DVDs are quality and the content is terrific. This will hold your interest throughout, as the greats from the past are seen once again. My children are huge Vikings fans, and I wanted to put this in my collection so that they could see what I witnessed as I was growing up. Love the parts on Bud Grant (my favorite coach of any sport), and the stories on the heroes of my youth. Both DVD's are packed with Vikings players, teams, and coaches. Highly recommended. And best of all, it comes in an attractive case that easily fits into my storage cabinet (unlike a large book). If you want to reexperience the great Vikings players and teams of the past, this is the product to purchase. It is a sure touchdown! kone Review: Spirit of Minnesota Vikings - Odin Lives! - This 2 disc set on the History of the Minnesota Vikings is great! The first disc covers the franchise history in the NFL beginning in 1960 through 2010; covers mostly all of the past great Vikings teams and members, Joe Kapp, Fran Tarkenton, Chuck Foreman, Keith Millard, Wally Hilgenberg, Marshall, Page, Eller, Randall McDaniel, Adrian Peterson, Favre, the list goes on and on, great stuff! The second disc is just as great with BOTH America's Games: Missing Rings - the 1968 Vikings and the 1998 Vikings, again, just great stuff! This is a a must own for any Vikings fan and a definite complement to the 5 greatest games dvd set on the Minnesota Vikings!

Loved it!
If you are a Viking fan this is a must! Loved watching the few hours of highlights from the Vikings over the past 50 years. My Best friends dad is even in this as he made a great interception for a TD against the Chicago Bears. All the great players Tarkenton, Gilliam, Sammy White, Marshal, Page, Foreman, Anthony Carter, Cris Carter on and on etc... How do you not love the Mexican/American player Joe Kapp after watching this DVD, what a cool guy! Kapp was given the most valuable player award and he refused to take it because he said it was all about the team not him! After watching this, you'll know why the owners wanted to bring back Randy Moss! Amazon.com by far, had the best price.

Must have for any Viking fan
I was born in 73 so I didn't know a whole lot about the legendary teams that made the Super Bowl. This was great to watch and learn more about my beloved purple. 40 for 60 was my favorite, and Joe Kapp is the man. I don't know why but I find myself wathing the 1998 Vikings story over and over, reliving the agony each time. Just a great set for any Vikings fan. Highly recommended.

This is a must see if you are REALLY an NFL fan!!!
I am not a Minnesota Viking fan and I absolutely loved it because it took me back to when football was violent (on the field instead of off the field). With all the crap going on today you need to buy this 2 DVD set. Everyone that I have loaned it to was blown away. Seattle Seahawk fans find out WHY Russell Wilson IS the second comming of Fran Tarkenton. And meet the most vicious defensive line ever, the purple people eaters. And finally how about a mexican quarterback who could not throw a spiral but has the record for most TD passes in a game. A qb with the mentality of a linebacker. Borderline psycho. Joe Kapp. It's kind of hard to throw a spiral WHEN YOU DON"T USE THE LACES! And this insane asylum was controlled by one of the calmest coaches ever, Hall of Famer Bud Grant!

Great for Vikings fans
Does a great job of covering this history of the team from the very beginning. You get to see footage of the team from 1961-1968 which I had never seen before. It's pretty long, you pretty much have to watch it in two sittings. The second disc was disappointing to me, as I had already watched the misisng rings on the NFL Network. Excellent production, but I had already seen it.

A must have for an old school Viking fan
I love this DVD set. Takes me all the way back to 61' and goes year by year chronicling the key events of each year. Lots of game footage, and players commentary. A must have for a serious Viking fan.
