Chris Doleman wanted to talk about wine.
This was a surprise.
Doleman returned to his original NFL team in late September of 1999, in what would become his last season. The Vikings had started poorly, so Dennis Green signed Doleman, 37, out of retirement to bolster the team’s pass rush.
Doleman had announced his retirement at the end of the 1998 season, when he played for the San Francisco 49ers and recorded a remarkable 15 sacks, the second-highest total of his career.
He had made his reputation in Minnesota, where he became a legendary pass rusher for a franchise known for them.
