Charley Walters: Vikings’ pick at No. 25 should be elite

Despite not picking until No. 25 in the first round of next month’s NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings should still get a blue chip player. That’s because there could be as many as five wide receiver…

There was a Gopher game that was interrupted by a bull moose wandering onto the field.

Both teams and the crowd watched as Bronko tackled, killed, and cleaned it single handedly, allowing the game to resume.

Later, he made a helmet out of the hide. The rest is history.

Inducted into the college football hall of fame in '51 and the pro football hall of fame in '63.

The Polish American Sports HOF is apparently one tough MF of a hall of fame!!

How did this not happen already? The NPASHOF has been around since 1973 and has inducted such football luminaries as Zygmont Czarobski, Frank Piekarski, and Pete Banaszak. He will go in alongside AJ Pierzynski for God's sake.

For shame. At least it's happening.

Yup. Just think of any athlete you have ever heard of whose name ends in "ski" and they're in there, except Bronko.
Weird.
