The Vikings are such popular mascots in many sports because they are so scary. This is exactly how they wanted to be portrayed. As kids, they were raised to become nasty fighters. The Vikings were vicious warriors that raided and conquered many areas. During these raids, they killed many innocent people, including the monks of the monastery Lindisfarne. These insane warriors became some of the most terrified people in the world. If I had a choice, I would love for my mascot to be a Viking, then everyone would be afraid of me.
Bret Favre has not yet announced if he will be returning to the NFL for the 2010-2011 season. I personally think he will be back for another season. Favre has said many times that he was going to retire, but never has. He is such a great player, and I still think there is a lot of energy in him for another season. Favre became someone to watch when he started in Green Bay. He then moved around a lot but recently played his best season ever in Minnesota. This was his first year playing with the Vikings, and they sure look like a good-luck charm.
