Former Vikings guard Artis Hicks clarifies comments on bounties
Amidst allegations of operating a bounty system, the Minnesota Vikings finally got some clarification in regards to a story from former guard Artis Hicks.
Not too long ago, Deadspin did a piece on a passage from the book “Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre” where former Minnesota Vikings guard discussed the concept of paying for taking an opposing player out of a football game.
Of course, this news shot right through the Vikings fan base. With many fans still upset about the bounty system that the New Orleans Saints had in place back in the days when Brett Favre was with Minnesota, allegations hit far too close to home.
