Crowd for Vikings' Super Bowl reunion won't include Bud Grant

The Vikings will hold a Super Bowl reunion this weekend, but legendary coach Bud Grant has other plans.

The Vikings are welcoming back players, coaches and staff members who were part of the team's four Super Bowl losses in the 1970s. All 10 of the players from those games who are still living will be on hand, but not their coach.

"I'll be duck hunting,'' Grant said Thursday. "I just got back (from North Dakota), but now I'm leaving again. I've got to get some clean underwear. I booked this trip six months ago, so the Vikings knew a long time ago I wouldn't be available.
