Gus Bradley's Admiration for Vikings, Zimmer Runs Deep

Bradley is from Zumbrota, Minnesota, and recalled attending training camps in Mankato during his youth.

“I loved the Vikings. I got a chance to watch them practice in Mankato when they had Chuck Foreman, Fran Tarkenton and the Purple People Eaters,” Bradley said. “I can remember being so involved, like a typical fan, you cried when they lost big games. I know how passionate the Minnesota fans are and how much they love that team. They’ve got a lot of great tradition up there, and I have a lot of respect for that organization.”

Asked a follow-up, Bradley mentioned the Cowboys 17-14 win over the Vikings on the original Hail Mary — many would argue also known as Drew Pearson’s push-off — in the NFC Divisional round as a tough one.
