By not telling Vikings fans what they want to hear, coach Mike Zimmer has given them what they want to hear.
Mike Zimmer is becoming so popular that someday he may be able to charge Vikings fans to clean out his garage.
It’s worked for Bud Grant. He holds an annual “garage sale” that is the modern-day equivalent of (Warning: Old-guy reference coming up) Tom Sawyer tricking kids into paying him to paint a fence for him.
Grant and Zimmer are of a like mind, and a like kind.
