One thing that people in Minnesota have long either suspected or known is that the Vikings get little respect from people nationally. Sure, they’re a top five franchise in terms of regular season win percentage as well as multiple rankings of the best/most passionate fan-bases, but one of the reasons I started purplePTSD in the first place was that I was sick of waiting 45 minutes for under 45 seconds of coverage from ESPN after each Vikings win.
That disrespect continues despite my best efforts, and there’s another ranking that isn’t as friendly to the Vikings: Pro Football Reference new Hall of Fame Monitor.
