EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Adam Thielen was a fixture in front of his television each Sunday morning as he anxiously awaited his favorite football team’s next game.
The Detroit Lakes native would flip the channels until he landed on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, hoping analysts would start some chatter about the Vikings and star wide receiver Randy Moss.
“Sunday Countdown and ESPN, you’re watching that getting ready for the game and hoping they’re talking about the Vikings and things like that,” Thielen said.
Thielen’s childhood will sort of come full circle Sunday morning when Thielen, the Vikings current wide receiver, will be featured in an interview on the popular pregame show.
