Vikings voice Paul Allen goes national with Buffalo calls, gets love from LeBron James and others

Paul Allen's frantic, Vikings-focused style is not for everyone.

He's both polarizing and popular as the team's radio play-by-play voice, which is a pretty good way to go viral. It seems like at least once a year, a clip of Allen describing an incredible play with typical frenzy makes the rounds on social media.

But Sunday's 33-30 Vikings win at Buffalo, which had enough bonkers moments to fill an entire season, catapulted Allen into a new level of recognition — which I talked about at the end of Thursday's Daily Delivery podcast.

Pat McAfee of "The Pat McAfee Show" blasted out Allen's calls against Buffalo to his more than 2 million Twitter followers, saying of Allen, "I didn't know this incredible human existed until now … I feel as if I've missed out on so much electricity.
