GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Earlier this fall, the Minnesota Vikings parted ways with Ragnar, their "human mascot" for the previous 21 seasons. Now, it appears, the man in the fur has become a turncoat.
Joe Juranitch -- the Ely, Minnesota, man who played Ragnar for 21 years, clad in a fur top and a horned helmet as he charged out of the Vikings' tunnel at the Metrodome on a motorcycle -- appeared on Fox Sports 1's NFL pregame show on Sunday morning, opening up a package he said was from the Green Bay Packers.
