Funny Strib LTTE

This one made my day.


An early draft of a greeting

Memo to prospective Vikings owner Reggie Fowler:

Hi, it's me, Pat Proft, president of the United States and inventor of the stocking cap. I wish you all the best as owner of the Vikings. You'll enjoy living in Minnesota. You'll never want to leave. I know I missed it so much when I was pope.

Congratulations! By the way, I invented the word "congratulations." You can use it any time you want.

Pat Proft, Wayzata.



Be careful how you pad your resume!

1. poor Reggie

he's not going to get a pass on this one - and that was a great LTTE.

That said, as a former San Antonian and now a proud Minnesotan I am really glad to have the used car salesman out of game.

2. Me too

Why do the Vikings attract every con artist in the business (remember Tom Clancy)? Geez, we look like rubes falling for it every time!

3. I knew we were in trouble when my boss

who follows sports like Greenspan follows the stock market said, Gee, I wasn't aware that Reggie ever played pro - I remember him as a college player. And Clancy? :eyes:

5. His "padded" bio.

For example, he doesn't have a business degree, it's actually in social work. His excuse was that he hasn't applied for a job since the late 80s, so he hasn't updated his resume, so that's why his bio lists the wrong information.
