MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — In Vikings land there is only one Burnsie.
Jerry Burns came here 50 years ago to join Bud Grant’s staff, and he never left the home he still lives in with his wife Marlyn.
“She’s big in flowers and things like that,” Burns said. “You walk around here, there’s flowers all over. I can’t tell you one flower from the other. But she loves the flowers.”
And oh, he has Viking memories, of training camps and curfews for his players.
“They knew they had to be back at 11 o’clock, and they were there every night,” Burns said.
