Minnesota Vikings give Ragnar the heave-ho

For years the wild-haired, motorcycle-riding mascot Ragnar has been a fixture at Minnesota Vikings home games, but crazy Ragnar’s run appears to have come to an end.

Yesterday fans noticed that Ragnar, real name Joseph Juranitch, was not out there at TCF revving his bike, dancing with cheerleaders and basically acting like a maniac.

Where was Ragnar? Sleeping it off after a long night of swilling ale, sacking villages and having his way with multiple fertile women?

No. Turns out Ragnar was at home watching the game on TV. Apparently the Vikings let Ragnar know that he is no longer welcome at their games.
