NOTE: This is a re-edited, expanded version of the "Joe Kapp 1969 Minnesota Vikings Purple People Eaters Tribute" video I posted on Feb. 16, 2008. I was never really happy with the first tribute video, as I felt like I rushed it and didn't put in all the music and photos I wanted to use. I feel this is a much better video, as I took the time to put it together right (in my humble opinion), and to use the music that generates much more emotion. With that said, let me continue with the copy I posted with the first video: Here is a little music video I put together as a tribute to Joe Kapp and the 1969 Minnesota Vikings. To me, the '69 Vikes were the BEST NFL TEAM EVER... period... Of course, I was only 11 years old at the time, but my whole adolescent life was consumed with the Minnesota Vikings. I ate, drank, slept and bled purple... my room was painted purple... I begged my parents to move to Bloomington so I could see the Vikings play at the famed Metropolitan Stadium..... etc., etc., etc.... well, you get the point. Anyway, some (almost) 40 years later, I have acquired quite a Sports Memorabilia Collection of Joe Kapp and the 1969 Minnesota Vikings goodies. So, I thought I'd scan a few photos, set them to some great NFL Music and let it roll.... I hope you enjoy watching this tribute as much as I enjoyed putting it together.... Oh, one last thought: I think I owe part of my career in television to Ed Sabol, Steve Sabol, and NFL Films. The show "This Week In Pro Football" was the original music video show... years ahead of MTV. NFL Films was the BEST at putting incredible music and voice-overs to awesome football action. I used to sit mesmerized... soaking up every little nuance of highlight footage they aired... who knew that would plant a seed....
